I'm curious, do all d-bags get as much pleasure as you seem to get from being so consistently a d-bag to others?

Calm down buddy.  People take this place, and the blog to seriously.

People act like the is the intellectual center of Eagles talk, it's more like a bunch of dudes talking Eagles at the bar.

I'm not sure.  Both cap sites show that we can carry him at a $4M cap hit next season, then eat $7.5M in voided years in 2024.  Otherwise we'd eat $10M in 2023 if we cut him.

I think kick-the-can-Howie may opt for the former, considering that Cox is playing as well as Hargrave right now.  Buys us another year to turn over the DT position.

If he’s on the roster 2 days after the new league year in 2023 he has $50M base salary guarantee in 2024.

Also regarding OTC, they even say what they are showing is based on the Eagles cutting him.

There is a dummy year included for 2023 and 2024 which are simply in place to allow the Eagles to utilize the June 1 cut designation with Cox next year. The cap hits are reflective of how it will actually impact the salary cap for Philadelphia in those years.

I'm calm. It's just an observation about your consistently condescending and self-important tone. Hey, if there is a d-bags union, you should run for steward. I'd support it

I don't think it'll be Ian Book since they claimed him with the obvious intention of him getting a full training camp. They knew going in that they were not going to subject to waivers where he might get nicked off. So I really doubt it would be him.

They claimed Book after Training Camp after all teams did their final cutdowns. Strong and Sinnett were the other QB’s during camp. They also put in a waiver claim at the same time for Mond (who I suspect they preferred), but he was claimed before the Eagles waiver order, so I think Book might be more of a second choice they may not feel strong about. There also was no word of anyone else putting a claim for him so maybe they think they could sneak him onto the PS.

Let's assume that Dillard gets cleared and is activated off IR and put back on the active roster during the bye week. Who do we think would be the person who gets waived to clear the roster spot? I don't think it'll be Ian Book since they claimed him with the obvious intention of him getting a full training camp. They knew going in that they were not going to subject to waivers where he might get nicked off. So I really doubt it would be him. Likewise for Josh Sills, the "last guy" on the offensive line depth chart. It's not dissimilar to the year they kept Nate Herbig on the active roster the entire season and never dressed him. Granted, Sills was dressed last week, but the point still stands. They aren't going to waive him and have him get claimed. Calcaterra? Doubtful. He was drafted for a reason, and that is that he's a promising receiving tight end candidate. A running back? Maybe they could put Scott on IR but that only delays the issue because someone would have to get waived when you bring Scott back later. And I'm not sure how injured he would really be anyway. He might even play on Sunday night for all I know. I hope he does. Trey Sermon? Not likely. I wouldn't think they'd release Covey since he's the return man and he's already exhausted all of his practice squad call-ups. And if you released him, you'd still have to sign someone to return punts so you wouldn't really be clearing a spot anyway.

I guess it would most likely be someone on defense. Defensive line? The depth at end is shaky enough already. Maybe Janarius Robinson. Maybe. A linebacker? I doubt it would be one of the Johnsons. It won't be one of the starters, and it won't be Dean. I'm not a fan of Shaun Bradley but they seem to like him. A defensive back? Jobe? I don't think so. Scott? Maybe? Or could you buy a few weeks by simply putting Maddox on IR? I suppose. Blankenship? Sheesh, I'd hate to give up on him so quickly after having him be a diamond in the rough in training camp. Maybe it's Wallace? Y'know, I kinda think he'd be the one I'd go with. He's had his opportunities and has never really done anything. And would we really fear him getting claimed anyway? Wouldn't he likely clear waivers and make the practice squad? In that case, you could activate him three times for free and push the problem back into November. Perhaps you try that same tactic with Siposs? Waive him, hope he clears waivers, and then put him on the practice squad for three weeks. That would be pretty risky though because while I don't think he would be claimed, you'd kinda screw yourself in regards to having a holder that your kicker is comfortable with. I'm not sure I'd do that.

Maybe the problem will sort itself out with a player getting injured this week.

I remain curious about how this issue will be resolved. My top three guesses in order would be Wallace, Robinson, and Blankenship. 

Probably whichever developmental player they feel isn't progressing. My guess would be Robinson.

Please let it be Kvon Wallace.

Please.

He plays a lot of special teams snaps, so that is unlikely.

That's true. I'm just disappointed that he never evolved into the versatile playmaker professionally that he was at Clemson.

I thought that too but they only have 4 safeties.  Do they cut Wallace with the hope Josiah Scott's crosstraining at CB/S helps them there?

It’s early and the score is tied but man the Flyers look like Trash. 

@LeanMeanGM

Our DL will make it a difficult day for Rush.

Eagles 24

Cowboys 13

Bonus: We are 2+ in turnover margin.

At the very least I expect him to give it a go to keep that start streak alive, even if he can't finish the game.

I saw a tweet saying that Fields is who Lamar Jackson haters think Lamar is and I thought it was perfectly on point. 

Fields is a disaster right now. He holds the ball way too long and takes dumb sacks, doesn't see the field, and has poor accuracy. 

Other than that, he's looking good.

I really liked him coming into the league. Sucks he’s bound to fail in Chicago 

Fields is one of the worst QBs I’ve seen in a while. I’ve never seen a QB throw it right at a d-lineman’s helmet.

I’d like to see Siri/Steichen develop some sort of trick/deceptive play masked as the QB sneak that they typically use on 3rd and 4th and short. Hurts and the line telepath it by the way they line up and even though it’s been successful, it’s due to get stuffed eventually. I feel like a lot of damage can be done if they faked it as a pitch to an RB or had Goedert trail out on a leak route for a pass. I think they tried an end around with Pascal in the Washington game which got snuffed out, but that’s probably a better play for AJ to run.
