No. Not as of now.  Thanks 

What LTs would you put ahead of Mailata?

Which LGs ahead of Dickerson?

Here's the starting OTs page https://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchartpos/OT

Here's the starting OGs page https://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchartpos/OG

At LT your options are Tyler Smith (Dallas), Andrew Thomas (NYG), Charles leno (Wash), Braxton Jones (Chi), Taylor Decker (Detroit), David Bahktiari (GB), Christian Darrisaw (Minn), Jake Matthews (Atlanta), Jacob Ekwonu (Carolina), James Hurst (NO), Donnovan Smith (TB), DJ Humphries (Arizona), Joe Noteboom (LA), Trent Williams (SF), Charles Cross (Seattle)

The cupboard is so bare at LG that it isn't worth listing here.  Go to the webpage if you need confirmation of that.

That’s more of a "crappy group of run defending DTs” effect. You shouldn’t have to play with a five man front to not get embarrassed against the run. Yikes. 

Jordan Mailata is a top 10 LT. The best LT in the NFL is Trent Williams. You can argue a lot of guys for 2nd. I would push for Wills. Kolton Miller is also really, really good.

It comes down to whether or not the front office brass is happy with it.  There have been reports of Lurie being upset with a MNF win against GB in the past where they played ground and pound to win the game.   Lurie has always talked about being among the best passing offenses.  It's a very different philosophy right now.  This isn't the Bills' offense, or the Chiefs'.  This is much more Baltimore Ravens than that.

What's worrisome about that is we've seen how the Ravens have done great in the regular season but fall apart in the playoffs

Rumors are rumors.   It's why I generally don't pay attention to most rumors.   Those things spread like wildfire across the internet, and many times the seed of it is one random guy speculating and others misreading the speculation and it turns into something, even though it's nothing.   ESPN insider seems like a waste.  But, you do get early access to Mel Kiper's big board and mock drafts.   So, there's that.   😒

But it is why that annoying Florio’s site is good for rumors; he won’t post anything unless he personally knows there’s credence to it.

Both Wills and Miller are in the AFC, so not competition with Mailata for the pro Bowl.  I agree with you about Trent Williams.

Pro Bowl is a popularity contest. The Eagles are going to get some players who don't deserve it because we're good.

Yeah I definitely don't understand the obsession with Marlon T. A few splash plays are not worth him getting bodied in the run game constantly.

Could go down as an all-time bad trade for Denver. For one, Wilson didn't look hampered yesterday so no idea when he hurt it. Meanwhile the kicker on the other end who has no purpose other than his legs toughed out a hamstring injury. George Paton was highly regarded and hyped when he went to Denver. Wonder if he survives this if the Broncos bottom out this year. New ownership, no incentive to keep him.

There are a lot of 'names' that will get attention for the Pro Bowl, regardless of LT v RT.

Wirfs, Ramczyk, Bahktiari.  Even Lane may keep Mailata from a spot.

Many commentators are noting that the Eagles have "yet to play a complete game” despite their strong start. A silly observation. What would a complete game look like? Winning each quarter 14-0? How often does that happen in the NFL? And even if it did happen once, it would not be predictive of a "complete game” happening the next week. 
 

Their ceiling isn’t much higher, but status quo has been plenty good enough.

There was a play in the Cardinals game where he was driven back about ten yards. It was gross.

I don't think it was necessarily gameplan specific for Parsons. We've been running that scheme all year.

The game plan had to figure out a way to deal with Parsons.  If it didn't specifically look for a way to neutralize him, then they had a blind squirrel moment not a brilliant game plan.   I prefer to believe the latter, in the absence of evidence to the former.

An article confirming what I saw in CJGJ's  post-game presser

Quote

C.J. Gardner-Johnson walked up to the podium for his postgame news conference with sunglasses on and his head buried in his phone. If you were inclined to think of him as one of the league’s foremost antagonists, as he was known in New Orleans, you might have thought he looked like something of a diva. But appearances can be deceiving, and Gardner-Johnson is still in the process of letting the Eagles know the real him.

Gardner-Johnson was focused on his phone because he was responding to a text message from his grandmother, Betty Gardner.

"I’m proud of you, baby,” he said she wrote. "I told you this is what you wanted. Fly Eagles fly.”

On Sunday night, in the main event of Philadelphia’s weekend-long party, Gardner-Johnson stole the show. With luminaries such as Jill Biden, Joel Embiid and Jazzy Jeff in the house, the proceedings began with an in-person performance of "Dreams and Nightmares” by Meek Mill. On the sideline, no one was more amped by that surprise than Gardner-Johnson, who has a Meek Mill-themed tattoo on his right arm and said he has loved the rapper since middle school. This was a good night for dream chasing.

-------

"I’ll be fine,” he said while covering up an open wound on the top of his left hand before unfurling a wide smile. "Soldier mentality.”

When Gardner-Johnson arrived in Philadelphia, acquired from the Saints on roster cutdown day in exchange for nothing more than Day 3 draft compensation, he brought his brashness. It must be difficult to spend three years proving yourself as a bona fide playmaker, only to be dropped into a new locker room on the cusp of the regular season and feel like you have to prove yourself again, while also adjusting to a new position in a new defense. The first week was turbulent. The new guy showed up wanting to own the room. He was told to fall in line.

"I had to swallow my pride when I first got here,” he said. "Coach … got on me about it. But it’s all tough love.

"I think I was the new guy coming in, coming in loud, showboating. But it’s like, I’m not here to do showboating, I’m here to get better, improve and help this team win. So I think the best thing I can do is gradually adjust, gravitate to the group. Because I came in right before the season, so I really didn’t have a full camp or preseason. So I think just being around the guys, understanding where they come from, how they play ball, is just different and I love it. Can’t even complain honestly.”

--------

Perhaps the most important relationship in the secondary is the arranged marriage between Gardner-Johnson and Marcus Epps.

"We kind of had to feel each other out first,” Epps said. "Obviously it’s a different culture in our room than maybe it is in New Orleans, but the great thing about him is he’s been doing a really good job of being a part of the group and taking on the culture that we have set in the room.

"Honestly, I still feel like we’re still kind of getting there. That’s the good thing about it. I really think we’re playing well, but I really feel like we have a long way to go. I feel like we’ve scratched the surface of how good we can be as a safety duo and as a secondary as a whole. Never get complacent, just stay humble and keep coming to work each and every day.”

Yeah. Just give me some TDs in 1 3 and 4 and keep smashing it in 2 and that would be pretty swell.

They DO get credit for largely closing out games with long drives and scores.

They really need to double down high in the draft on Dline. Let Hargrave go and sign Da'ron Payne. Offseason goals!

That Zeke TD was embarrassing - Fletch completely washed out, Avonte overrunning the play, Kvon late to react and with a horrible angle... not so good.  What's the point of the 3Q nickel defense, if teams can march right down the field.  A 20-3 lead wasn't safe - coaching material for the bye, I'd hope.

The Athletic power rankings.

Almost half our games (8) are against the bottom row.

 

That’s what’s iiiinnnn!
