Yup right now.

Not sure when he'll be back but I'll take him over OZ.

OZ offers nothing, at least defenses have to respect Quez deep speed.

Quez was a late draft pick, but he really looked intriguing for a couple preseasons there, so some expectations built up.  And he’s got a knack for being involved in bad plays.  Some of that is on him, while some is genuine bad luck.  
 

So unlike OZ, Quez (with the fans), has a lot of bad frustrations to overcome.  I absolutely think the Eagles are better off with Quez on the field than OZ, who is just a slightly quicker version of Greg Ward.

Boston Market used to have really good mac n cheese and cornbread.

Are they still a thing?

There's still one here in Charlotte on Independence Blvd.  I don't think anyone has actually gone it to eat there in at least the last 3 months, and I've never seen any cars in the parking lot, but I'd still go.  Their sides were amazing!!

A lot more ball movement under Nick Nurse.  Maxey looks great.  And they are sitting on a chest of assets now to make a deal along with a ton of expiring contracts.  They have a chance to really put a team together next season.  In the time being though it's fun to watch Maxey taking that All Star step and this team doing so under a new HC.  Plus you know the reigning MVP in his prime.  

I've been a huge Maxey fan, but this year is gonna be a rocket up his arse to stardom. So so fun to watch play in transition.

Brandon Graham had around 8 sacks this time last year. I wonder why he only has a half sack so far this season.
I find it strange that nobody has mentioned it in the media. I can only imagine it is because of his age.
Is this LE Graham's last season?

I'd say yes, this is it for BG.

why?

3rd snap he stumbled back because he tripped over Kelces leg. 4th snap he passes someone off. Picks up his next assignment. Gets punched but immediately anchors in. 

Don't feed the troll.

Looked pretty good to me.  Even did a good job picking up stunts.

They have Osa Odiggy (kid from UCLA) who’s slippery but light, Hankins/Mazi were brought in to stop the Eagles running game but based on ARZ game I don’t think they have that locked down. 4th guy can’t remember.  This isn’t a good interior match up for the cowboys run or pass, although I prefer to wear them down first as Osa is a decent player.

I think this a game where the Eagles should focus on running the ball.  It doesn't need to be run option but 12 personnel pin and pull running.  They should try to bully their front 7.  

Last step of protocol.

That’s been the formula - I also like sucking the Cowboys defense in and having AJ do his thing.

Would like to see what Albert O looks like in those limited snaps

So excited for Penny to be active and get 0 snaps while Gainwell churns out 2ypc.

Calcaterra had concussion issues in college. Was nervous when they said he got another one, but hopefully it isn’t bad.

Twist, they elevate Lew Nichols just so they can deactivate Penny

It's funny how every eagle fan conveniently forgets Quez 2021 season where he had over 600 yards and would have had over 200+ yards against the bucs in the playoffs if hurts had been able to get him the ball 

He was primed for a big season as a starter opposite Smitty then the trade for AJ and Siri says the offense was going to run through AJ Smitty and goedert and Watkins became an after thought who went from being an upcoming starter to a decoy who gets a pity target a game.

And fans wonder why the heck he struggled last year and looked disinterested🤷‍♂️

Fast forward to this year coaches said he had a really good camp and he said he was ready to put last year behind him and play better and he gets hurt right away then tries to play through it then goes on IR.

It s what it is, I'll maintain what I've said in the past.

When watkins is right, the eagles are a better team.

Hopefully he can get right and contribute.

He'll probably be cleared tomorrow

Yup if eagles go one dimensional it'll allow the cowboys pass rush which is really good to win their ears back and get after a not as mobile hurts.

They need to stay balanced to keep the cowboys pass rush at bay and protect hurts.

Watkins did not play well last season and it ended up impacting his total targets.  He had 55 targets and would have had more if he could catch and run routes over the middle of the field.  He wasn't disinterested.  He just did not perform.  I think that's why he was a 6th round pick.  He's an elite athlete but not an elite WR.

I mean its good for him, but relatively meaning less if he plays or not

He's not a safe pair of hands and adverse to contact. 

He's blown his lines recently 

Dak concerns me given his previous success against the defense, but I’m curious what they do without Kellen Moore there anymore. McCarthy puts an emphasis on the run game, which may work in the Eagles’ favor given it looks like Davis and Carter are good to go. On average they like to keep Dak at around 30 pass attempts.

Although they've probably seen Howell go for nearly 400 yards and think Dak can go for 500

Tyler Steen… can he be an upgrade in the run game as well. While we are confident in our running attack, it has been inconsistent since Jurgens got hurt.

He seems to have concentration issues.  Call it what you will, but to me, that's an element of disinterest.

Whats Travis Fulgham up to these days?

Quez and Oz both blow.  They are what they are, 4th or 5th receivers.  Not sure why some are so enamored with them.
