Really dont think Drake is washed, at all yet.

Still a great receiving back, and not a bad runner either. More strength than any of our RBs behind Sanders.

And getting him without having to trade. Im all over that. Very solid player. His problem is the same as sanders. Always some minor injury. 

 

Had him here or there over the years in fantasy so I have watched him a good deal.  He's got all the tools for sure.  Good speed, north/south runner, good receiver.  But, like you said, he is not always available.  That being said, he would probably be a good player in this offense.

Nice to see the Eagles letting this nice middle school kid in the locker room after the game. 
 

Suspect a dream came true for him on Sunday.  Probably not a dream to really make it long term in the NFL.

I'd put Van Dyke over Richardson. I like Haener and Hooker. I think both of them have big years and will rise up the ranks. I'm a Levis guy and I like Young

I don't understand the slurp fest on him

Just the raw tools he has.  Same hype that was there for Cam Newton when he got to Auburn.  He may crash and burn but any QB with that size, arm strength and mobility is exciting to think about the potential.  Not sure if he's eligible after this season but if he puts together a Heisman type year, the Eagles are in position to go after.  NOT saying he's going to even be in that category but he has the tools to get there.

I understand he has the tools and the size but he's only started one game in his career. Let's see what he does over an entire season first. I don't think he comes out this year anyways

Before you get your panties into too much of a wad, if you look at the First Half statistics.  14 runs for 93 yards ... a 6.6 YPC is not good.  4 scrambles for 47 of those yards came from Dobbs, which leaves 10 runs for 46 yards by the RBs ... a 4.6 YPC better, but still not great.  Dobbs' 4 runs were on scramble for 36 yards and 3 scrambles for a total of 11 yards ... only 3.7 YPC for the three.  Absent the 36 yard scramble you have 13 runs for 61 yards ... again a 4.6 YPC average.  The first 6 runs were for 69 yards and the 8 runs thereafter were for 24 yards ... a 3.0 YPC average.

There is no doubt the d-line and LBs were disappointing, but letsnot let that disappointment ris to the Chicken Little level.   

Thanks, you officially unwadded my panties

Hope no Eagles player gets arrested down in Miami this week.  Eagles probably flying down there tonight or tomorrow (not sure if joint practices start tomorrow or Wednesday).  They will be there until Saturday night.  That's a long time in a city with a nightlife like that for young rich athletes away from their wives and gfs.  Not just a one night fly in like a regular season game.  

Practices are Wednesday and Thursday.  I'd imaging they are flying down tomorrow evening.

Probable keeping the players in on Wednesday to watch the first episode of House of the Dragon.

Oh for sure.  Hell, I was a big fan of Emory Jones and thought he was on his way and he flamed out and transferred.  He was just named Arizona State starting QB today though. 

I’m probably going to end up being a Tanner McKee bandwagoner.

Levis scares me, he's got a lot of Wentz in him. The good and the bad.

 I’ve been since last year but he’s got a lot of work to do, missing two years for a mission in South America, plus he beat cancer at 16. He was still putting weight in 2021 and learning the offense. The advantage Stanford QB’s have  with Shaw coaching is the old school NFL offense they run, it’s one of the reasons Mills was pretty good for Houston last season.

While we're on the topic of SEC QB's.  Our old buddy Trey Burton was at UF practice.  Gotta say I'm excited to see if Richardson can live up to the hype.  

 

Next JaMarcus Russell? 

Man I’m starting to feel dumb for making fun of Eagles should draft Pitts takes.

Sorry @bpac55

No hard feelings.

I will say this.  Ridder has a flick of the wrist throw.  He looks darn impressive out there.

Anyone noticed former Eagle and major D-bag Will Parks with the huge hit?

Buffalo is stacked at RB.  Maybe Duke Johnson or their undrafted fa rookie Blackshear shake free.  

If the Eagles start 2-2 half of you will be rooting for them to tank for a QB.

2-2 maybe not, 1-3 or 0-4 and you count me on the ‘Suck for Stroud’ bandwagon.

Depends how 2-2 comes about.  There isn’t much depth on defense, as witnessed yesterday.  A couple of injuries to the wrong guys and it won’t be pretty.  If the offense is the culprit, however, of course people will want to see how the offense functions with a different QB

Truest thing said on here

ESP put out his worst hot take to date. Eagles should just go with 4 WR’s because the top 4 are "elite”.

More interested in Jurkovic myself…not so sure on Levis

Not that it makes it any better, but who does he even have at #4?  Pascal? Reagor? Cain? One of the fast plucky white dudes who's trying his best?

Denver claimed Ozigbo on waivers.  Would have fit big back but he hasn’t done much in the NFL.
