June 16, 20205 yr Ummm, how the F... I feel bad for the guy. Sign Peters, put him on that side. He was willing to do that before. I guess that's all we can do off the top of my head.
June 16, 20205 yr Injuries happen. I'd like to thank the Ravens for drafting Ben Bredeson 2 spots ahead of the Eagles in the 4th round.
June 16, 20205 yr Literally sold our souls to win a Championship. I’d love to see data if there’s a team in ANY sport that has sustained more injuries in a 3-4 year period (to super Key people).

June 16, 20205 yr Saw a video of him doing some sort of martial art workout which looked quite intense..maybe over did it

And he's an injury waiting to happen also. https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/2019/07/30/jason-peters-says-hes-open-to-playing-guard-to-help-extend-his-career/ Quote "Yeah, I’m going to play as long as I can,” Peters said via Philly Voice. "As long as I can do it, I’m going to go. Whether that’s tackle or guard, I can play all the way across the board.”
June 16, 20205 yr 3 hours ago, Traveler Vic said: This is a serious injury and at his age...he might be done. Sad. He's had this injury before and bounced back just fine. He will just turned 31 in August . Peter's tore his Achilles twice and came back fine and he was older and at a position that requires even more movement

June 16, 20205 yr 8 hours ago, JP HOF said: Peters at RG. Doubtful. Guessing Pryor will get first opportunity to start. He's done pretty well filling in at guard.

June 16, 20205 yr 6 hours ago, Traveler Vic said: This is a serious injury and at his age...he might be done. Sad. He'll be back. JP had something similiar and he came back and played well. Matt Pryor can fill in. Hes not Brooks but give him reps in TC and he'll be ready.

Hes not Brooks but give him reps in TC and he'll be ready. Hopefully someone (Driscoll, Opeta, Herbig) will beat out Pryor in TC because he's just not that good. But if the worst-case scenario is that we have to play him, he should be at least somewhat okay. This thread does a really good job of highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of Pryor.
June 16, 20205 yr 15 hours ago, JSEagle said: For those wondering, Jason Peters does nothing to help with this. He's already washed and has never played guard. Please stop suggesting him. Agreed. But they could sign him and move the Pac 12 snow flake to LG
June 16, 20205 yr 7 minutes ago, weko said: Agreed. But they could sign him and move the Pac 12 snow flake to LG This would be a great idea if Dillard were a typical tackle, but he isn't. Tackles typically get moved to guard because they lack the athleticism to play outside. In Dillard's case, his problem is that he isn't strong enough to handle power rushes by bigger defensive ends. So moving him to guard would neutralize all his best attributes and accentuate his worst one. Peters would be fine at guard. The only questions are whether he would want to play there, whether the Eagles want to pay him to play there and whether it is worth the risk of replacing one guy who seems to get injured all the time with another guy who seems to get injured all the time.
