side note: Josh Dobbs is the oldest 28 year old I've ever seen in my life. He makes Robert Quinn look spry. 

They traded Dobbs and cut Kellen Mond. They going with 2 QBs? Is there someone I'm forgetting?

My point is Queen will cost significantly more to trade for and then they have to pay him like Taylor. They don't need to make that kind of move but they do need one.

No, they don't need to make a move, and the Ravens aren't trading Queen.  They did get Trenton Simpson,  but apparently he's not ready to start.

The Eagles are fine at LB.  Dean is one who I'd want to be a good green dot ILB who plays every down.  Cunningham is a good choice in running situations.  Some suggest that Sydney Brown might replace Cunningham on pass downs.  All of that seems fine. 

Nolan Smith doesn't have a great path to a lot of snaps at OLB this year.  Reddick is great and plays a lot.  Even if Nolan takes all of Patrick Johnsons snaps,  that's only 25% or so.  I'd want to see Nolan Smith more than that, and I wouldn't want to take snaps from Reddick.  So, Nolan Smith could get ILB instead of Cunningham.  

And then, traditionally,  you have a lot of LBs who don't play defense but play special teams.   Elliss, who could get snaps instead of Cunningham,  VanSumeren.  Shaun Bradley is hurt, out for the season.  I'm not sure what's up with K Johnson.  If Elliss is playing LB, h e's not going to be playing as much ST.  He can get some snaps here and there though.

This all seems fine. Elliss and VanSumeren are ST LBs, and maybe K Johnson too.  There were 4 last year.  Last year it was Dean, Elliss, Bradley and K Johnson.

They pulled Mond back from waivers

With the new 3rd QB rule... they decided they don't even need a 3rd guy around.   Makes sense.  

 

Browns doing Browns things.  Cardinals doing Cardinals things.   All things in the universe are as they always have been.

They aren’t cutting Mond. They pulled him off waivers before the deadline after the trade which is a thing you can do I guess

Go Birds.

Want to see Tyler Steen, Fred Johnson and Justin Evans straight-up win backup jobs.

FYI, appears the game is ONLY on Amazon. Not on FOX here like listed.

Good news is that the Colts seem to be playing their starters, so it will be a true tough test for the guys that are playing for the Eagles.

Best way to evaluate backups is against starters. I do expect to see some guys fall off a bit (ex: Eli Ricks, Janarius Robinson).

I’m not as convinced. I like Dean, but he’s still an unknown. After that I like Cunningham, but age/injuries make me wonder how much he has left in the tank. Then it’s some JAGs.

Understood.  Track record is definitely sparse and/or suspect.  I personally don’t see Elliss as a JAG, but until there is evidence to determine one way or the other, he will be either an unknown or a projection or both.

His technique is terrible.

That said, he’s got just the coach to fix that. He’s huge and has pretty good feet. Right now the game is too fast for him but when it slows down we may have something. Those flailing arms make crazy, though.

Notwithstanding Howie’s weakness for Florida players, where Johnson was a RG and RT, he has had 8 starts in the NFL (all with Cincinnati).  In the NFL, he came in as a UDFA with Pittsburgh, on waivers picked up by Cincinnati and then when waived by Tampa.  He’s had four years in the NFL with NFL coaching including over half a season on the Eagles PS.  Stoutland is awesome as a coach but he has had time with Johnson.  Seems if fixable, he should be showing signs of progress.

Weird. We generally get everything that's on in Philly. Fox here is an hour long special about Britney Spears divorce. Who the hell is going to devote an hour of their life let alone 1 minute to that?

Godzilla is coming.  Japan is pumping treated radioactive water from Fushima into the Pacific for the next 30 years.

Cool I love Godzilla?

Devon Allen sighting!   :lol: 

Good return by Devon Allen 

That's world-class speed.

I both hated and loved that Allen return.

Allen won't give you jack as s WR and not sure he can PR but that was a nice return.

Biggest hurdle for Allen seems to be catching the ball.   :ph34r: 

That was PI easy

First view it looked like a tackle before the ball.

Second view hell yeah!
