Wallace has had so many chances to take the bull by the horns here and claim a spot. Fell short and is virtually unplayable. One injury away from him having him play a large role here. If they can somehow sign him, you can plug in a vet like Jenkins for a handful of games, who already knows most of the vets here and played with Maddox & CJG in the secondary. I am not saying it's likely. Only saying it's a no brainer move. He's here for depth & leadership. Nothing more.

Brent Celek! It's no coincidence we've been holding #87 open for years

Just 2 more yards!

THEY CANNOT SIGN JENKINS

Good to know 👍

Having said that I'll stick to what I said 

I'd rather have a 35 year old Jenkins than a K von Wallace, whether or not that is plausible or possible may be a moot point but I think majority of the board and NFL teams would take a 35 year old Jenkins over k von Wallace.

Which is all I originally said.

DUM would like me to inform you that Jenkins' rights are owned by the Saints through the end of 2023. So he can not be signed by anyone. Also was asked to tactfully inform you that you are a moron.

Well if anybody had any questions about your reading comprehension, you’ve answered it all in this post. 
 

Gotta love posters who make vague statements and then when you pin them down on it, back pedal and claim "I never said that exact thing!” 

I didn't make any vague statements I simply asked you questions, which rather than choosing to answer you chose to ignore and call me names instead.

Exactly what did you pin me down on???

Exactly what did I backpedal on???

I said I'd rather have Jenkins than Wallace on this team, apparently you were so offended by this statement that you immediately felt the need to dispute this, when I refuted what you said with logic instead of replying logically you called me a bish and an idiot.

I'm pretty sure I comprehend that.

Go smoke your joint brah.

I think Toronto's point was, wgaf, it's not possible

Your point is, Wallace Blows. 

Both can be possible lol

How many teams 4th safeties are "good”? You’re pretty f’d if they have to play meaningful snaps. You can try and hide a guy, but eventually he’ll mess up. It is what it is at this point 

Next 3 games (Titans, Giants, Bears) are teams that can run we'll but have weak receivers.  Which is good news for Ed Reed Blankenship.  Let's him ease in a bit at least.

Relax bro. Haha. All hypothetical. It is possible. Likely, probably not

Zordich filled the role of veteran leader really well.   Miano was a tremendous bust. I always liked that defense with Zordich, Greg Jackson, William Fuller, Kurt Goviea, Ronnie Dixon.   Ray Rhodes did a good job of bridging the gap with veterans he knew.  

Miano was decent.  He was FA addition and I think was just a depth signing in 91.  He played a fair amount in 92 and was pretty good.  I remember Zordich as being a part of those bad teams in the late 90s.  

Guys, let's think outside of the box here. 

Walter Thurmond. Probably pretty cheap, too.

I suppose you are a moron too. Or more tactfully, you are a maroon.

He wasn't wrong about Mike Thomas, that dudes a turd 

Seems philly is a better fit for CGJ👍

I think the locker room has enough vets on the Defensive side to reign him in a little. Also think he's trying to stay on his best behavior to get a contract.

Actually it wasn't Torontos point that it wasn't possible I think it was leanmeans.

Toronto per usual was just being " divisive"

Outside the box you say?

Seems that Saints locker room has had a lot of drama, glad the eagles don't, and yes he's probably on his best behavior for his contract

Go smoke your joint brah.

The whole discussion arose from Jenkins saying he was ready to play if a team called. You jumped on the bandwagon and said "ya, let’s bring him in to replace Wallace” 

Aside from the impossibility of it due to legal issues, Jenkins is washed and has been sitting on a couch for 8 months. Yet you insist he’s better than Wallace. Do you remember Blaine Bishop? That’s what Jenkins would end up like here. No thanks. 
 

You posted that CGJ is "outspoken” after I pointed out Jenkins being divisive. But then you back pedaled off that position too. 
 

If you’re going to have dumb opinions, at least be man enough to have conviction 

Why don't we just sign Urlakkerz and give the entire defense an extended bye month until the playoffs?
 

It's not like they couldn't use the rest

Real question here is, would you sign JaMycal Hasty and if so, what size gold jacket would he wear when he gets into the hall of fame

I’d prefer we obtain actual HOFer Etienne

Well, he called Michael Thomas "Slant Boy" so much that he punched him in practice. 

He also got in multiple on field fights. There was also a lot of questions about character concerns when he was drafted, which might have caused him to drop. I was big into him that year. 

Ok, I should have said... "I don't know what they were."

 

But, honestly, being called Slant Boy a lot shouldn't be that big a deal.  Jerry Rice was a killer on slants... unstoppable really.  Almost a compliment.

Blaine Bishop was better than Wallace is now, heck Blaine Bishop now is probably better than Wallace .

I haven't swayed from my original conviction.

If the eagles signed Jenkins and cut Wallace if be all for it.

You said previously and now again that he's washed because he's 35 I pointed out lots of guys at safety have played well last 35, you then said he was retired another poster pointed out weddle came out of retirement at which point you said weddle got hurt then I said Jenkins doesn't have a history of I jury to which point you said he was divisive.

I didn't back off CGJ being outspoken, I said I havent noticed it.

Maybe before you worry about my convictions you should actually read what I actually wrote instead of making crap up.

I've said multiple times in the last hour or so to multiple posters that I'll stick with what I originally said that I'd take Jenkins over Wallace.

Not until it was pointed out by other posters not you, that it's not actually possible due to him being under contract with the saints did I say well oh well, to which I still maintained that if Jenkins were an eagle at 35 he'd still be better than Wallace to which point you threw a hissy fit and continue to do so...

 

The Eagles signed Joseph and Suh, who both have played well, and people are worried about age with 6 games left in the season.

Jenkins is for it

 

Putting aside Jenkins, do you think that the Eagles need another safety on the roster?  

Epps, Blankenship, Wallace, Chachere

Agree except the instincts part.

Blankenship showed better instincts on his one INT than Wallace ever has in 3 years.

Does he have CGJ instincts in pass coverage? no not even close, and Blankenship is a rookie playing his first game, CGJ is a 4 year guy who played nickel before 

That angle he took on the Watson TD though, that was really bad.

I've actually never seen Wallace take a bad angle, tough to take any angle when one is just standing around with ones thumb up ones ass 

Wallace is the kid that the coach has to play due to participation rules so puts him as far away from the play as possible where he picks daisy's or his nose.

He's the guy on Madden football when your control breaks or gets stuck and just spins in one place or glitches and freezes.

 

Like you have said, you don’t have the All22.  I have seen Wallace react slow (instincts) and take bad angles. In college at times Blakenship bit or was slow to react (instincts).  He also takes some bad angles. Frankly, so does CJGJ.  Epps has good instincts and has improved with experience but his tackling is a bit off.  But Gannon plays his Ss downhill.  The problem with Wallace is he overplays and that gets him out of position. That is probably why Blankenship replaced him as the #3 S.  None of them mirrors well, but given the little man the Eagles Ss play, that’s okay.  

That said, Wallace is better on ST coverage units than Blankenship.
