BornGreen Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Having to watch most of my games on my phone while at work I havent been able to actually scan the field during plays to see who's playing in the rotations. Have we seen anything of Dean yet? The defense seems to be a little different each game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBirds2020 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 He’s sitting behind the others because, at long last, we don’t have complete dogsheet across the linebacker corps. It’s a nice luxury to have. His time will come, either when we lose TJ or Kyzir in the off-season or if we get hit with injuries. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerolithe_Lion Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I think I’ve counted 3 snaps all season, he plays mostly just special teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RememberTheKoy Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 We have good starters this year. He's a player too that will only get better the more knowledge at this level that he takes on like a sponge. I have high hopes for him next year r and beyond. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUEagle Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Needs to add some muscle and have some quality players ahead of him, finally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 The LBs are actually playing well - can't believe we can finally say that! That plus him coming off injury & being a 3rd round pick it makes sense to take time to develop him. Hoping he becomes an impact player. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I’ve seen him on special teams. He’s doing his part for the team and waiting his turn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggs Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Yeah, can you imagine we are starting this well and that we can let a player like this learn and bulk up to be ready for his second year - plus we have an extra quality first round draft pick and an extra second the next year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 He's sat behind White who has played well (although not as much the last couple of ri weeks) and Edwards who is having a really good year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxeaglesfanxx Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I’ve seen him a few times but not much. But they’ve got some decent linebackers right now so he’s just learning this year I think. He’ll probably be playing next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman#12 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I"d like to see Dean come in on obvious passing situations.......I think it would benefit the eagles to get him more playing time as the year goes on......As they approach the playoffs, that experience could really come into play.

FranklinFldEBUpper Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 He looked really slow chasing that Cowboys return man. I’m not getting the vibe that he’s some super duper athlete whose only knock was his size and injury concerns. He just might not be all that fast either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude will make anyone look slow AF 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always in the right spot and a pretty good blitzer for a LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwestbrook36 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Not only does Dean show amazing speed getting to the quarterback, but he often shows the ability to get in the backfield untouched. He understands the holes in the blocking scheme relative to the blitz his team is about to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to watching him grow and he can be a huge asset against more mobile QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy to get him in the 3rd round, but I have some concerns about him ever being a good starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
