brkmsn Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I don't think some people really understand why rookie contracts are structured like they are. Most players need to be developed. With a guy like Ringo, he was drafted because of his physical traits. If he responds to NFL coaching and puts it all together, he could be a special player in time. Personally, I think he left college a year too early. Fans always want instant impact and tend to give up on some players way too early. I'm pretty sure the Eagles' expectations are more long term as they currently have starters locked up on the outside. They need Ringo to be ready likely in his 3rd season. Right now he just needs to help on special teams however he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately some players don't pan out. I still think it takes about 3 years to know for sure. Some guys take even longer. We've seen a couple guys like Rasul Douglas and K'Von Wallace take even longer and have some success after the Eagles gave up on them. How many years was Brandon Graham a "bust?" People were even worried about Jordan Davis this offseason because his rookie year wasn't dominating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brkmsn Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 His worst game of the season for sure. He's played better than expected for most of the season. I know it's not popular to go against the negadelphian mob, but we sure missed Dean yesterday. Morrow has more experience and has been better for most of this year in coverage, but Dean has still been the best tackler and has better speed. You can't really expect a LB to "cover" Samuel, but there were opportunities to limit the YAC very early and Morrow just isn't as consistent a tackler as Dean and had his worst game at a bad time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwinavega Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 So, looking at that, this is about coaching. Why TF would you have a linebacker in coverage against those receivers? No wonder they killed us while making Purdy look like Joe Montana. That´s just terrible planning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochis_Calhoun Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Morrow was god awful Yesterday, but the worst 'tackle' was Roby on a Purdy run, the commentators tried to excuse it by saying he expected Purdy to slide, but he had a chance to absolutely level him and instead didn't hit him hard or wrap him up, Purdy ended up getting more extra yards than the penalty would have been for hitting a QB that's given himself up. I know for damn sure if the 49ers had Hurts in that position, they would have knocked 7 bells out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road to Victory Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 This post gets my vote for the worst post of the year. One more game and we’ll never see Morrow play in the NFL again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
