They are both completely ineffective at getting a big return on punts but at least Ward didn't muff them. Biggest letdown of the preseason was how they didn't rotate more players in at PR and KR to see if anyone could show anything there. Ward is not explosive. Never was. Covey hasnt been explosive in the NFL yet, but is fast and has had explosive plays in college which was only just last season for him. Give him a little time, more than 3 games in his career. Ward on the other hand, had a lot of time. Didnt develop, and never really had any upside to expect development. They are obviously different players. Not really comparable.

We should treat it as an outlier and he hasn't been bad in punt return and obv worth keeping on the practice squad. Just hoping there's a chance for Allen to step up to the plate.

He has had more than 3 games. He was returning punts in preseason and showed nothing then either. Covey is giving nothing at all at PR and he had the bad muff. PR is absolutely an area where the Eagles should try to improve midseason. Preferably someone who can also serve as a KR as well. 3 minutes ago, Eagz said: You could see how aggravated Covey was at that muff.

He's at the point where if they want to keep bringing him up they need to sign him to the active roster. He isn't worth an active roster spot.

As stated numerous times in here in the past 1 hour, all in this discussion are in agreement it is time to give Allen a shot at the job before elevating Covey to the 53. Also, Covey should have been given a shot at returning kicks. Not just punts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pointing out his hypocrisy of saying someone as ineffective in the PR game as Covey was most definitely someone that didn't at all think Ward was "just fine" at PR. They were both as ineffective returning punts. At least Ward didn't muff punts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has shown no flashes, nothing whatsoever in the preseason or in the regular season to at all suggest that he has anything to offer returning punts.

I doubt they let elevate Allen to return punts. For whatever reason they didn't really give him any chances to return punts in preseason. They should have been rotating all sorts of players through there until someone showed any hint of being able to do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that you don’t like the not very good Covey, but the not very good Ward is OK. I could be like you and make an assumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazletonEagle Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Off topic. In about 3 weeks, a new ISP is coming to install 1 gigabit fiber internet and is providing a 2 unit Eero Pro 6 system for the wifi. I currently have a modem, and nighthawk dual band router which covers the whole house well. I dont know what the hell wifi 6 is, other than it is supposed to be better. And I dont know what a mesh system is other than it is supposed to be better than my single router. BUT - Is a mesh system necessary in a small house? Do you need a bunch of those little units to have really strong signal, even in a small house? For instance, eventually (hopefully soon) we will have a TV, and maybe some ipads and a PS5 in the finished basement. 3 smart TVs on the 1st floor, as well as a PC, and typically where we are while using our phones on wifi. And there is a smart TV upstairs. Considering the size of the house (pretty small) cant this all be covered by 1 Eero? Or would we need 2, or even 3 (one for each floor?). Im trying to figure out if I need to buy a 3rd, or if 2 is plenty. Maybe with 2 I can get by with just one in the house, and one out in the detached garage when that gets built?

Ward let more punts roll than any other returner I can recall. He had terrible awareness of when to catch and when to let it roll. Had he even just fair caught those punts the Eagles field position would have been so much better in quite a few games. Covey hasn't impressed me at all but I wouldn't rather have Ward back there. I'd rather them cross train someone on the team instead of using a call up or roster spot on a guy that might play 5 snaps per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a post for VABeachEagle only, as I respect what he does. Humor attached. I had already reached out in the Tech thread regarding the issue. That was the serious aspect, in case it was Board-wide. Thanks for supervising. Anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
