Hopefully he can give us something. Could be just another guy who is a shell of his former self and ends up being more of a liability than an asset. But, any player who is still available at this point is available for a reason.  Pickings are slim.  And who knows when Davis will actually be able to return.

starting to get the feeling that the D line is our weakest link now and just full of old average players.

BG 34

Cox 31

Quinn 32

Joseph 34

Hargrave 29

 

Not great reading is it

All of them are Free Agents after the season. Eagles will have draft capitol and money to replace them with younger talent.

 

Plus Jordan Davis, Sweat, Reddick. The Eagles are in a tremendous position for the future.

If he's good against the run then it kind of makes sense. The Eagles don't have a DT right now who's good against the run. Cox is showing his age, Hargrave is really good at rushing the passer but not so good at run stuffing and Davis is still a few weeks ago presumably.

Well considering the Texans and the commanders ran all over them and still some bigger names at rbs on the schedule  and also with Davis and now Marlon T on IR we def needed some help at DT. I don't think it's panic. It's just needed.

Hargrave is definitely the best of the bunch, rest are washed. Cox was washed 2 years ago, no one told Howie apparently...

I like Graham and he's been efficient while he's played but he barely plays 

Looks like quin is washed...☹️

Joseph is fat is about all I can say about him.

Need to hope the Saints keep sucking so that pick stays in the top 5. Either Jalen Carter or Will Anderson could really boost the DLine.

Hopefully he can help against the run and help keep teams from converting 3rd downs. The run wasn't the issue last game. The issue was that Washington kept converting 3rd downs. We couldn't get off the field on 3rd down. Washington's rushing efficiency wasn't great.

Heading into this draft, a lot of fans wanted them to draft a DE and DT, both positions were supposedly deep.  So they traded up from 15 to 13 to get Davis and gave up a 4th and two 5ths.  But didn't take a DE until Kyron Johnson in the 6th.

They could have kept their picks and drafted more defensive help.  

Hopefully Davis recovers from injury and improves his conditioning to handle more snaps and being a FT starter next year.  And Cox needs to step up because he's not doing much.

Didn't hear of any injury to the USC DT.  He sucks so glad they stashed him on IR.  Probably the last we see of him this year.  Then he gets one more training camp after we draft 1 or 2 DTs and hopefully then he's gone.  No Pac 12 players please.  It's boys vs men.  They all suck

Any reason why they didn’t sign him after losing Jordan Davis?

Maybe they thought they could get by till Davis came back.

Quite possibly but they were kidding themselves. Run D has been pretty poor all year especially without Davis.

Hopefully he has something left in the tank unlike Quinn who seems to be done.

Anyone could see that after that video of him trying to walk to the novacare on his first day. Dude needed at least a walking stick

What do you mean "panic signing?" It's a we-need-a-run-stuffer-after-losing-two-big-pieces-of-our-rotation-in-the-last-three-weeks move.
