I mean Imdoubt they are any worse than Bradley. Plus Edmunds is great in the box so is really almost a LB/S hybrid, which is really what Morrow was. I think this is overblown. In truth the team has 3 1/2 off ball LBs and three OLBs that can play SAM. I really think that we need to stop thinking 3/4 or 4/3 as a "base”. I think the base is now situational and can be just about anything. It started with Nick and Gannon but I am excited that Desai is going to take it forward even further. I just look at them as edge vs off-ball LBs. Reddick certainly won’t play off ball. Smith dabbled in it and could play there in a pinch. I’m not confident Johnson could survive without getting picked on relentlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEFly Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 @FranklinFldEBUpper A few STs questions for you. Any chance at some point we see OZ as the returner? I know you liked where Covey was going last year but OZ didn’t look bad when we saw him catching punts. If Covey isn’t the returner, could you see them activating Kyron Johnson, Allen or VanSumeren for coverage teams at some point? Who do you see as the gunners? Is Ringo a possibility? How about Brown? He was dynamic in smart blocking on that long return by Allen. Frankly, I see how they play in the up man position and in blocking on returns as a huge piece of whether it is Calcaterra or Albert O that is an inactive. Eagles lost a lot of STs players this offseason from a group that wasn’t particularly strong last year. So that may not be a bad thing. McPhearson, Bradley, Wallace are gone. Jurgens is a starter as are Dean and Blakenship. Overlooked sometimes is that Clay is the last one to get his starters with 10 days to prepare. Whoever aren’t starters but active are candidates for STs. Any new players you project on teams as potential upgrades based on PS? (Mine is Brown.) Do you think the new kickoff rule will have much of an impact? Appreciate an insight or thoughts you may have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling Desai wants more disguises, so i expect all three will drop plus Sweat. Not a lot but on occasion. Of course, at this point it is all speculation on what we see from this new defensive side of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever seen the first two episodes of the series, which I enjoyed, so I have very little knowledge. Friends have raved though. I thought all 3 seasons were just plain fantastic...

He has great balance and is pretty jacked at 203. Same weight as Blankenship. Heavier than all CBs except Bradberry and Ringo (the latter is slimmer but 6” taller). Heavier than all active WRs not named Brown. Scott is pretty good at pass pro too. He is heavier than Gainwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
