EagleVA Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 There were a lot of great additions to the roster thus far and I think Nicholas Morrow should be considered one of them. I can't recall any Eagles LB that's impressed my as much as Morrow, dude can do it all, sideline to sideline run stopper, excellent pass coverage, excellent blitzer, and a hitter, I think he solidified the defense. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brkmsn Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I'll have to wait and see how he performs in our defense. I really expect him to perform pretty similar to they way White did last season. If so, it will be money well spent. But there should be some fun battles in TC / preseason for that starting spot. Elliss supposedly has been impressive to date and had some work with the first team. Bradley sounds like he's really confident and Taylor has great athleticism if he can put it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, White was pretty much invisible as far as I'm concerned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opa-opa Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I know its just the OTAs but seems like Ellis has flashed more than either Dean or Morrow. Im getting a bit worried about Dean. Maybe he will end up as a great leader on defense but not a great playmaker on his own? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochis_Calhoun Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I've looked at I don't know how many 2023 Free Agent ranking lists, all of them are packed with linebackers, all of them include the two linebackers we lost in free agency this year and Singleton in their top 100, not a one of them includes Morrow. PFF has him at 199. Linebacker is the one spot that I think we took a hit on this year, Edwards was a ton better than he was given credit for, Dean better hit the ground running. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brkmsn Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Just to put things in perspective, Morrow is better in every part of the game than Nate Gerry and it's not even close. In our current defense, Morrow will be asked to take over for the departed White. There should not be a noticeable drop off at the position. He and White are very similar and both players arrived here with ample starting experience. There will still be competition for the starting spot. If any of the less experienced guys actually beat out Morrow, then they will be exciting prospects themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right, but the people that actually do this for a living don't seem to think he's that great as evidenced by his 1 year $1.1 million contract. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricAllenPick6 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I asked Google Bard to write a post why Nicholas Morrow will be a pro bowler, and here's what it said: Quote Nicholas Morrow is a young, talented linebacker who has the potential to be a Pro Bowler in 2023. He is coming off a season in which he recorded 105 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and an interception. He is also a very good coverage linebacker, and he has the ability to make plays all over the field. If he can stay healthy and continue to improve, he should be a Pro Bowler in 2023. Here are some of the reasons why Morrow should be a Pro Bowler in 2023: He is a very good all-around linebacker. He is good against the run, he can rush the passer, and he is also a good coverage linebacker. He is still young and has room to improve. He is only 25 years old, and he has only been in the NFL for three seasons. He is playing for a good team. The Philadelphia Eagles are a playoff contender, and they should be giving Morrow plenty of opportunities to make plays. If Morrow can stay healthy and continue to improve, he should be a Pro Bowler in 2023. He has all the tools to be a great linebacker, and he is playing for a team that is going to give him the opportunity to succeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a contributing factor to why Edwards is being paid almost 7 times more money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he has signed with the Eagles, the Eagles D hasn't allowed a single TD, FG, or even a single yard has been gained against them. So... yes... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opa-opa Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Heres a really dumb question. Does Reddick play LB on this team? I know he is listed as a LB but he is never mentioned as one of our LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portyansky Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 The potential is there. But aside from Reddick, all our LBs are a question mark this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
