Daboll was asked about resting starters today, he dodged the question and he said "He will do what's best for the franchise."

Barkley definitely shouldn’t be playing in this game. No reason to put on extra miles on him regardless as he’s a RB. They are locked into the 6 seed. Odds are they face Minnesota. They nearly knocked them off a couple weeks back in Minnesota. They can win that game but they aren’t doing with without Barkley and Daniel jones. I’m not a Daniel jones guy but they aren’t coming winning a playoff game if brightwell and tyrod Taylor are starting that game.

Frankly I’m not risking injury in a meaningless game to thibodeaux, Thomas and Lawrence either. if they get hurt in that game and it’s serious chance they miss a portion of next year. Can happen in a playoff game as well but at least it would have come at trying to advance in the playoffs as compared to nothing.

Gannon will be a HC next year. 

I think there's a chance that happens. I'm not saying we should draft like Gannon will be here forever, I'm just making a broader point about Gannon's scheme.

As soon as they go to coach speak (what is best for the team), you KNOW they are resting starters.  If they can't improve their position and are screwed without their critical pieces (almost a case of who wouldn't be, but for e.g., consider someone like dallas that has a 1A/1B running back situation when both are healthy), then they are going to rest them.

Thibodeaux also did this on the sideline. I’m surprised Saturday after the game didn’t run out there and take a swing at him

What an a-hole. I hope he gets a major injury.

Idk where you saw that but this is what he said 

 

This was yesterday after the game....his PC today was a completely different tune.

They are resting starters.

When was the last time the Eagles had a 16 sack pass rusher?  The wide-9 era?

We've been through this before.  Respond to what I wrote or don't respond at all.   This is your last chance with me.

It's obvious he didn't.  

 

"My last chance with you".  The ego on you.  You're irrelevant to me.

As I said earlier, I think they went to that well too many times.  Not only in this game but the last they threw alot of slants

Nick also said in his PC just now that Sweat wanted to get up and walk back but they carted him off as a precaution. Him and Cox were also talking while he was laid out so it didn’t seem like something they were overly concerned about. 

 

Curious what Eagles do with punter since they can’t elevate Kern anymore until the playoffs. Simple solution would have been just sign someone else to the PS and elevate him for the game but now that this game is meaningful, I wonder if they take that risk with the punter/holder.

I’d love to know the numbers yesterday when we threw against Lattimore and when we went elsewhere. Only reception i remember us having. Against Lattimore specifically was smith’s 3rd and long reception that picked up the first after two false starts

I never advocate a player having a bounty on his head... but if ever a player deserved it... its Thibodeaux for that display.   Classless doesn't begin to define it, especially given all the CTE stuff that's out.  Fortunately, Nick didn't have a concussion... just a rib injury, but that guy absolutely should have had an OL take him out at the knees.

He says he didn’t realize Foles was hurt.  Regardless, I wouldn’t mind seeing one of our guys put him on his butt next week.

Been thinking about this, my completely unsupported prediction is that Quinn contributes meaningful snaps in the playoffs....including 2-3 sacks.
