As far as RB goes it's also a question of money investment.  The #10 overall pick is paid just over $5M per season as per the draft pay scale.  The Eagles let Sanders walk, and he signed for $6.35M AAV elsewhere.

They could pay Robinson $5M+ per season by drafting him at #10, or they could draft a RB at #94 and pay him about $1.1M per season for 4 years.

Oh crap. What happened? Base running, fielding, hit by a pitch in the knee, etc?

It was reported, but regardless, whether it was true or not, if he's going to deviate from OL or DL, he'd go CB before he'd go RB. His philosophy on what he spends at those positions is evidence enough of that. Howie just doesn't value RB much. As little as anyone in the league.

Not sure why the narrative has changed and people believing otherwise all of a sudden. I guess the Robinson draft visit, but you're always going to meet with top prospects and do due diligence. We go through this song and dance every year though. Teams think Eagles will take a RB high and they never do. I think it's more likely they don't take a RB in the draft at all than take one in round 1.

This is the year Howie drafts a LB in the first.  My guess his Robinson is part smoke screen, part intel gathering and part interest.  I don't think Howie will take him at 10.  I wouldn't be surprised if Sirianni wouldn't push for Robinson at 30.

Not to be insensitive ... but why is he giving ground on that?  Most 1B come in and take that on the high bounce, or short-hop at worst.

Usually people are more racist on this board than insensitive 🙂

Lol I tried posting the article but it wouldn’t embed. If they weren’t a division rival, I’d feel sad about how far the Washington franchise has fallen. It’s crazy

Anyone know who some of these posters are so I can mock them endlessly?  

Nah, it's all good. I just have a whole lot going on at the moment and having every video that I post to to try to promote the board get 'protest' comments, just kind of ticked me off. Had it happened at any other time, I'd have just ignored it and set comments to be off.

But you know when you have one of those moments where something just gets under your skin and you react? That was my moment yesterday lol.

You don't need to justify it to me

Can you just delete the comments instead of disabling comments?

Traffic is going to be very high on here if Howie drafts a LB in the first lol

The most frustrating thing about the Eagles scoreboard is given it's size, 1/2 of it is used for ads.  Funny, I posted about that yesterday on uniwatch after the same graphic was used for MLB and the Phillies/Mets new scoreboards. 

The Eagles teased us with this

What we got is this.

 

 

The same thing is going to happen to the Phillies scoreboard.  If you look at it, the new space just takes up the old physical ad space.

An off the ball linebacker or a pass rusher such as Nolan Smith?
