"Why is Younghoe Koo playing defense? Oh well, I'm throwing at him. Set, hike." 

Arthur smith really trying to get a leg up on the josh Allen and the bills offense 

I had planned to watch the game tonight but stuff has come up so I need to go in tomorrow to sort stuff out in the place of business, after I had the day off. Ah well it’s the browns in preseason and I can watch it tomorrow night slightly drunk which may help. 

Probably put a pin in it, will wear a cast for a handful of weeks and then get the cast off. Shouldn't be a big deal, happens often especially with linemen,.

And I’m probably gettitng too caught up in the hype but I’m really looking forward to the eagles offense slicing and dicing defences.

Too expensive given the cap space.  But as a side note, holder is an important part of the P role at this point and time on this team.  Never will forget the cowpads losing a playoff game on a failed hold.  That’s why I suggested bringing in competition to replace Zentner this week.  One more PS game after this and cut down is 8/29 from the 90 man roster so if they are going to make a change at P competitor it almost has to be tomorrow.

The DB room does seem to embrace Ghost.  I don’t think it is racist amongst teammates that seem to get along.

As a society we need to stop searching for racism, yes it exists, but if you search for it, even where it doesn't really exist, you will find it.   

We also need to not be such sensitive beings. Ghost/milk/cracker- it doesn't matter- who cares?  it's exhuasting watching everyone turn everything into a race issue. 

we need to stop dividing ourselves and work the common ground- we are humans........

So is this sort of a @HazletonEagle type request for us not to spoil the game suspense by posting about it.  Bold move but we probably need the preseason prep for HE’s requests later this season, so thanks.

Our stupid Sunday youth football coverage supposedly is no longer mandatory. I have not signed up for any of that crap, and hoping they keep their word and dont force it on me. 

With Cox likely leaving and Davis & Carter being on rookie deals, will they prioritize re-signing Milton?

Oh no it’s not. I was thinking out loud and I was more wondering if drink will help make an eagles pre season game and especially the browns as the opponents as watchable as a regular season game. I’m happy to do it for science.

I’d get it in writing.

No. Smith and Dickerson will be the priorities. Milton probably has to play out his deal and we'll see where he's at then. 

Anybody else lose their local Fox station due to a contract dispute? I have ATT Uverse cable/internet bundle.

They better figure it out before Week 1 dammit!

I think Cox will hang around as long as the Eagles allow him to and if he keeps producing 5 or more sacks in a season then he’s definitely worth keeping around.

They should 

I can't imagine he would break the bank unless he breaks out this year and has a 10 sack season,( not likely)

But he's a good player, can play all along  the line and does a lot of things in the run and pass game well.

If not, just subscribe to Youtube TV for a free trial on gameday and use that for a couple weeks. And if they still don't settle, just switch to it permanently.

Well, we all need to grow some calluses, that is for sure.  

I remember when Kerry Collins used the "n” word.  My impression was that here was a young male listening to rap and his Black teammates and it wasn’t meant out of racism but rather more as a teammate, a brother in arms, so to speak.  IIRC his Black teammates rallied around him.  He immediately understood why he couldn’t use the term quite the same way as some of his teammates did. Amongst the team, it was pretty much water under the bridge immediately but the media ran with it. Context matters. 

Wonder if the secondary feels fans are racist by embracing the Ghost moniker.  After all, we are more like Collins, embracing the team (after all, fans see themselves as part of the team).  We don’t see Black or White, we see Green (albeit Midnight or Kelly).

Got a good storm coming our way in Baja California Sur.  Glad I already had plans to leave.  Putting the boats on the trailers and protection on the windows today.  Hoping for the best

They took the 49ers approach to fixing their OL after losing two QB cost them in the playoffs. Punter wasn't why they lost the SB but it sure didn't help. You'd think someone in FA could have been available to upgrade.

I feel like there’s been way more fights in the joint practices this year as compared to previous years. Craziest amount of fights in 30 years.

That’s alright, I am sure the kids will free that time with Sunday soccer games of their own for you.

I like Williams and think he's going to have a break out type season.  I also think he might not be worth re-signing if they think it costs them the ability to extend Davis or Carter. They also have to think about extensions for Devonte and potentially Gainwell and Jurgens.  He might be a sort of cap casualty to keep some of the other talent.

In 2025 when his deal is up?
