Miami Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Stud. if Hurts can learn to throw to the back in the flat or on the screen, this guy will do major damage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think he wouldn't. If he has a viable back that can catch he'll check down. He's done it with Gainwell who hasn't been the most reliable as a pass catcher. The Eagles haven't dialed up many screens to the RBs preferring to go with the TEs and WRs. Progressions rarely started with the RB last year. If you have an actual weapon at RB like Swift who is a great receiver as a RB, they'll actually draw up more plays for him to actually be 1st in the progressions. Especially in those empty sets that we like to run. More screens, texas routes, and wheel routes to the backs would be in play as well. We haven't had a RB like Swift that's an actual weapon as a receiver in years. https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/video/highlight-rb-kenneth-gainwell-s-precise-texas-route-nets-13-yard-td-grab 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do like this pickup. Swift is a guy who could get 1000 total rushing/receiving yards. Between all of their backs they have a great combo group. For the value of the player you can’t beat what they got. Now is this move AJ Brown level? No, but this kid will be productive and he will help this team win football games. Oh for sure it isn’t an AJ Brown type move but it’s a very good and logical move. We know behind this OL and with Hurts at QB that a RB on this team has a great chance to do some damage. Swift is the kind of player who can do a lot of damage for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so used to be a bit bummed after the draft, my favorite players ignored- other picks I don’t get.. Not this time. Just great picks that feel right. I honestly believe the first four picks will be starters and there is a lot of potential with every pick they made. A lot can happen, I get it. And all the praise is dangerous, rat poison and all.. It still feels good though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPIDER-MAN Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 So if Swift and Penny show a really strong one two combo, does the team resign one of them, both of them, neither of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procus Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 We're seeing a pattern with the Eagles - signing or trading for players on one year deals on the cheap. It's a great strategy. The rentals are tremendous value having every incentive to play hard, one or two latch on with second contracts, and the rest that leave to cash in on big deals net the team comp picks. Strategy makes sense from a talent, roster and cap standpoint, and mitigates loss of future assets through comp picks. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie mastered the cap game now he's mastered the prove it deal/comp game. If he starts hitting regularly on draft picks, it's game over. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the advantage the Eagles have now is that they're a desirable organization that all other things aside, players want to play with. Plus, if the player can latch on to a team that can advance in the playoffs, he has a better chance at hitting on a good second contract. So at least for now, Eagles are a step ahead of the rest of the league on that front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
