I think you changed your Avatar and online name since Doc was on here last. @Doc S. has been a long time poster on the Blog but recently took a break and I think you made the change since that time. Perhaps if you shared your earlier identity with him, he might recognize you.  Frankly, I thought that was what your gif was poking at and interpreted Matt’s dig as a play on that.  

Thank You BigE. Sometimes it's hard for me to keep up. Not enough time.

I respect and enjoy a lot of the participants on here, sometimes the attempted humor goes sideways.

I don't have any interest in bashing, name calling or any of that.

Appreciate you.

    I'm sorry I brough such a depressing topic into the blog.  A little back story without too much detail. I met my friend 12 years ago during an AF commissioning program. He was on top of the world

Yeah I would still take a 1-2 year extension while we work things out at QB, DE, CB, S. Soon enough we will need to start thinking RT as well.

I thought Driscoll was the replacement swing man but I wonder if they are grooming him as a temporary replacement for Lane.  Lane can’t be replaced but that doesn’t mean they can’t get a quality RT soon.  Seumalo may be more of a need.  I do wonder if he generates a team friendly third contract but given his recent injury history, I am fearful of a Howie overreach.  CB is a need again next year but the class looks real promising.

@Doc S.   I am pretty sure Eaglesflyers#1 was posting when you took time off.  Recognize him now?

Texas Eagle, did you give any consideration to Eagles and Comcast profit #1.  I jest.  

Careful. may be misinterpreted. Don't want to set off a firestorm...:whistle:

Again, I think Jordan Davis and Milton Williams make Hargrave expendable.  He's no an asset that can help this team fill one of those needs.  

Fletcher Cox and Jordan Davis. 

You have to be kidding.  Look at Cox’s production compared to Hargrave’s last season.  I have Cox as DT4.  Too soon for Davis to be DT1.  I have him in DT2 and Williams as DT3.

I worry a bit what happens at RT.

Lane is awesome, no doubt,  but history shows he misses time and whats the plan moving forward?

I don't think Seamolu can slide out permanently and be effective, only temporary.

Who's in the pipeline?

Something tells me Long would like the eagles to call him in November

Fletcher Cox is exhibit A. why you don't extend Hargrave.  Hargrave may have had more sacks than Cox last year but 6 of them were in the first 5 games.  the rest of the year he had 1.5.  Cox had 2.5 in the last 3 games alone.  Both players are horribly inconsistent.  

1 Fletcher Cox 2021 16 25 10 12 7 3.5 2 1 0 1 0 0 0
2 Javon Hargrave 2021 16 27 36 18 9 7.5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0

He wants to wait until they’ve made the change to Minshew at quarterback

I know it’s only preseason, but I’m looking forward to the Chargers putting the boots to the Cowboys here in about a half hour

Love Chris Long, but he'd fail an NFL drug test immediately at this point. Dude loves the devil's lettuce nowadays.

Thats legal in the NFL these days.

The Eagles have historically over-invested a bit at DT.  Has DT ever really been a weakness in the last 20 years?  No…so maybe it’s unfair to say that.  
 

But in 20 years…top 5 pick in Corey Simon, top 15 Bunkley, first round Patterson, 2nd round Trevor Laws, top 15 Cox, big money Hargrave, big money Fletcher Cox second deal, Jordan Davis…and no shortage of picks after round 2.  
 

That’s far from a bad list of names.  But that’s a MASSIVE draft investment for one player who ended up being a disruptive star for a couple years and a bunch of others who were good starters.

I just don’t think it would be appropriate to pour more resources into DT right now.

Kyle Phillips had a great punt return today. Jealous. 

Ezukanma has 5/103 tonight and his long was 34. So hes pretty much ripping off consistent big chunks. Nice later round pick there.

Most of this is beside the point. Hargrave is a valuable player, This nonsensical hypothetical is trading him for air.

I don’t think you will find much disagreement here that the Comcast boardroom overseers of the Flyers strictly care about profits, not the team.

My comment about Seumalo was based on this being the last year of his second contract so RG may be open next year.  None of the Gs currently in play suggest to be an equal replacement for Seumalo.  I doubt Opeta rises.  Toth intrigues me more than he does the Eagles and he is free next year too. No to Anderson.  Sills is still a work in progress.Driscoll has too little junk in the trunk. Like him as a swing OL but not as a starting G.  Awosika hasn’t looked awful. Hoping Eagles hang on to Sills and Awosika for the PS.

Not thrilled with Hargrave as a NT.

All that discusses Guard and inside positions, maybe some possibilities at Tackle, who's covering RT when Lane inevitably goes down for a few games and eventually hangs it up?

I'm guessing that will end up being  an awesome draft pick to take the spot. Nobody on the current roster can anchor the right side like Lane.

Opeta can run block and pull, his problem is lateral agility in pass blocking. If Stoutland could clean that up, you have a starting OG. He's the best of the options.

Not sure I agree in the long run. Been impressed with what I have seen from Awosika as a RG and Sills shows real potential.  The time we saw Toth filling in at LG wasn’t bad, especially on the run but he’s probably never more than a reserve.
