Josiah Scott played some Safety in TC and PS right?  Or am I misremembering?

He did some sort of cross training

That's right.  I suppose if they are confident Maddox is healthy, he can got there at a pinch too.

And Marquise Blair still seems to be on the PS too.

Eflin never stays healthy. Walker the last 3 years and outside of a two year window in 2018-19 stays healthy and has been solid as a 4 starter which the Phillies needed. Eflin isn’t a better pitcher cause even when he’s healthy for his career his era is 4.5 and he doesn’t eat innings cause he always gets hurt. So it’s 13.3 mil for eflin and then you have to add another arm and sometimes tax your bullpen and cause chaos to your rotation cause he doesn’t stay healthy. I’m guessing the reason why the rays did that contract is because they’re try to go with a 6 man rotation so he’s only pitching once a week to limit his starts. 

go to the Phillies board. I’ve said multiple times they should go after Rodon because they need a frontline lefty to go between Nola and Wheeler. However, by doing this, they can still get one at the deadline and Acquire a big time starter. Bieber at the trade deadline might get moved by the guardians if they’re not in contention. He has one year left of arbitration after 2023. Which means they’re going to have to make a decision on him and if they’re out of it at the deadline you might be able to get Shane Bieber who is better and younger than rodon.

 

They have Ranger. Who when on is as good as any pitcher in ML. Hot as a pistol two years ago, struggled the first half (all about command with him) then settled down. Did alright in the playoffs. He's certainly a solid #3 at low cost.

Can't buy everything, and with Painter, Able, and McGarry on the way, SP isn't where they should break the bank unless it's a durable stud. Which Rodon is not.

I'm interested in seeing if Falter and Sanchez have anything more to offer, while Skirrow flies under the radar. They don't have to be great, just give you 10-15 decent starts as a #5, eating some innings because even when Painter comes up, he'll be on a 150 or so innings limit.

Was listening to Rueb’s podcast and they were debating the Eagles’ defensive MVP. His pick was TJ Edwards. 

Seriously. 

How many players would you put ahead of him? At least 4, and that’s being conservative.

He's a rueb.  

Slay, for me.   He allows Bradberry to face the Number 2 WRs, so he looks better.   They take away the outside, clogging the middle and teams throw there more to avoid Slay and Bradberry... making CJGJ the leader in INTs.  Also allows the DL to eat more as they can afford to double the middle of the field much more and QBs hold the ball.

Slay, Bradberry, Hargrave and Reddick for sure. Even with his injury, CJGJ.

The Eagles defense is what it is because of their pass defense.  They're a bottom-half team in run defense and first in quite a few categories against the pass.  Pass defense is a combination of QB pressure and coverage ability on the back end.  Slay, Bradberry, Hargrave, Sweat, Reddick would all be better choices.  Even Brandon Graham has been at least as good as Edwards.

It's sad to think about how great this defense has been.  Best in decades.  But there is no chance at all that next year it will look anything at all like it does now.  Only 5 games left this season of this defense and then the playoffs and then it's gone.  Offense will be mostly the same but the players next year will be vastly different and likely Gannon and some other defensive coaches as well.  

@LeanMeanGM

Eagles 26, Giants 20

Divisional game, on the road makes it closer than it probably should be.  Giants play the Hurts read option pretty well and hit him every chance they get -- look for Hurts to throw more.  Similar to the plan against the Titans on both sides of the ball

Bonus -- Bradberry with an INT against his former team.

Once they signed Turner it was unlikely they’d get rodon. However if the price with the way the market has become is mid 30s to upper 30 mil he’s not worth it. I like rodon but not at that amount per season, years he’s likely getting and giving up picks with the QO. I’m fine going pitching even with good prospects cause you never know. sixto was one of the best pitching prospects at that time had not turned out to be anything so far. If you can get a nice frontline starter on good terms like they did with wheeler I’m for it. However i think rodon in this market is gonna get way more than what you’d be comfortable paying. Why i think Yankees get him as they don’t have as much of a problem with that and spending that 

You are better off doing what they did and at the deadline you might be able to acquire someone like Bieber or next offseason who is worth that type of money if you are going to invest in a frontline pitcher. Frankly i think painter is here long term. Not sure both Abel and McGarry are here for their careers. I tend to think one of them os going to be used in a trade to get another big piece when the time is right. I know Salisbury and lauber kind of feel the same way (i feel like stark has also alluded to it during last season). 

I know bowa said yesterday on the radio that painter might start the season with the Phillies. And ditto with Thomson saying it yesterday. I tend to think they start with falter and see if they can get to the point of the season with painter where they keep a year of his arbitration. Then bring him up. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they try to limit nola and wheeler more this year to keep them fresher down the stretch and into the postseason.

I gave up on Roob.  Just a bunch of numbers.

Not shocking I’m sure he had some ridiculous stat saying it even though it’s not him. I’d probably go slay or cgj. Slay allows for bradberry to be the no. 2 and a role he resllt excels in. CGJ has been way better than i think we could’ve asked for considering when he was acquire and first couple games in the system. I think hargrave deserves to be up there. I don’t think Davis, Joseph and suh are worthy of it but they have really helped this defense and I’m not sure we were expecting them to be as good as they’ve looked when healthy.

TJ Edwards is the first Eagles LB to be signed as an UDFA to have a birthday in May, wear #57, go to Wisconsin and have over 3 tackles per game for the entire 2022 season.  Clear MVP.

All of you are wrong.

 

It's Ed Reed Blankenship the clear MVP.

Slay gets my vote too. Just ask Jefferson.

Slay is clear #1. He won the Vikings game.

I'd likely go Reddick at 2, followed by Bradberry and CGJ. Hargrave was not good before the bye week. Sweat has been better too.

Is Edwards even the best starting LB on the team?

Edwards for being a run stuffer, I think his play is a bit overvalued.

Someone will clearly overpay for him

Civil suit is still ongoing, and based on some of the details of the case, I'm gonna go ahead and say hard pass on the potential circus this could cause. Our team chemistry is pretty solid, no need to risk disrupting that with distractions right now.

Phillies got Pedro Martínez!!! Wow, what an off-season!
