Berman keeps saying keep an eye on Jeremy Chinn as a trade at some point.

Baldy said today it's apparent on Jalen Hurts runs he can't turn the corner right now. Whether it's physical or deliberate to avoid injury, who knows.

I think we've all noticed that. It looks like he's laboring to get to the corner and he's not turning it at all. JAG DE shouldn't be getting the angle on him.

Opposing teams want to ban it not because it's ugly but because they don't have the personnel to run it or to stop it.

Yup, it's ridiculous, no one cares when Brady was  like 95% successful on QB sneaks.

It's ridiculous the negative attention it's created, instead of the media talking heads praising the eagles and hurts for being really good at a play.

I think it's more of a football play than any football play out there 

When I was in highschool we ran triple option but every game the first play of every game we would run QB sneak, the defense knew it was coming but it was a tone setter for our team and O line from first snap to exert their will and just mash off the ball and set that tone.

That's football.

When the eagles run it and convert it it's demoralizing for a defense, and it's a tone setter.

That anybody would have a problem with it Especially all these old heads is beyond belief as they're just hating on fundamental football at it's core.

His first game was at Kansas City in a game the Eagles lost. He missed a chip shot field goal from 30 yards at the end of the half, right after Zach Ertz caught a miracle deflected pass to seemingly gift the Eagles an easy three points going into halftime. Not a great debut.

But you're right that he's been pretty clutch throughout his career. I'm not sure I can recall a single miss in a game critical situation.

He missed a 53-yarder against the Rams in 2018 that would have iced the game.  We were up by 7 at the time.  We hung on to win.

That was the game where Avonte Maddox made several big plays at the end of the game at outside corner.

Ersson looks good as well.

From an aesthetics standpoint, Ersson looks like Boucher out there.

#33, the blacked out cage. Not many goalies go with a black/color cage and it's such a great look. Top photo is Boucher, bottom Ersson.

Sidenote...I hope the Flyers realize how plain the sleeve numbers look and out a black outline. It looks cheap and out of place.

Have you seen the pure garbage Nike is putting out there for these things?? They need to just stop. Enough with rolling out a new uniform every year. Please just give us road/away/alternate.

 

 

Yeah they’ve been bad. Frankly I’m assuming the sixers one will be bad. The only good one they did for the sixers was the spectrum ones. I do like the slight changes they made to the sixers normal unis. I’m shocked Nike after seeing how the Kelly green jerseys did, haven’t done the Allen iverson era black ones. They should definitely do it before they deal embiid because i feel like the fan base is less likely to just spend if the sixers go back to being irrelevant

I like the player and it would be nice to have him, but it would also be nice to have a long term solution there. He is in the final year of his deal and we know the Eagles aren't going to pay top dollar which Chinn will inevitably want. Also, who knows what kind of compensation the Panthers will want for him?

They need something this year though unless you want to write it off. We agree they need a long term answer and maybe he gives Brown and the other young CB time to grow.

37 minutes ago, BigEFly said:

Brown and Blakenship are the future and Chinn would be an expensive half season rental.  

Probably, but who knows how many more years Kelce, Johnson, BG, and Cox have. He's a rental, but one who could fill in at a few positions where they need help. We agree on the future, but I want to win this year. He may not be amazing at CB, nickle, and S, but he can play them all. With all the injuries that's exactly what they need.

These jazz city jerseys from Few years back  especially with the matching floor were one of the least ugly jazz jerseys ever, but yeah I agree these new " city" jerseys every year are awful.

The Spectrum Sixers uniforms are wonderful and should stay in the rotation. I feel like Nike thinks they worked around the AI throwback with the black jersey they did for the team. Agree, fans would be ALL OVER an Embid AI era uniform.

I see that Jobe came in for a lot of criticism here. I thought that for the most part, he played very well. Last week too. There were some breakdowns but they were not talent-related. By that I mean he can be coached out of the mistakes he makes.

What is Nakobe Dean's status? Can May he come back next week or is it the week after?

Assuming he's healthy, he can begin practicing next week and be activated when ready.

Chinn would be a good addition but I think it can be difficult to integrate someone into a system midseason.  I wonder if Quez Watkins is a possible trade candidate along with a draft pick.  He would give the Panthers a vertical threat on offense.  He's not likely to be a player that gets a lot playing time given how Zaccheus has played.

In that case, Lombardi's power sweep should have been banned in the early 60's.

One can't keep using this excuse, at some point the production needs to meet the talent.

Lots of players have the talent to excel or be good at their positions but for whatever reason that production  never meets the talent.

On the last TD of regulation jobe was playing obvious inside leverage and even though he had Inside help by two other defenders when the WR feigned inside Jobe bit on the inside that he had already lined up in and gave up an easy TD on the outside.

Part of playing good defense especially on the back seven is knowing where your help is and Jobe either had no idea or the coaches are coaching it wrong.

Absolutely no reason to take Inside leverage when two guys are there, had Jobe played outside leverage it would have forced the WR into double inside coverage or put him in position to make a play on the ball.

That has nothing to do with talent or physical ability and all to do with basic technique and football IQ, unless again the coaches are teaching it that way in which case that's idiotic.

I like Jobe I don't think he's ready mentally, I don't like moving bradberry to slot where he's he's not a fit as it weakens two positions.

Get a real  nickel  corner, move bradberry back outside where he plays his best and use Jobe on the outside in case bradberry or slay go down.

They saw jersey sales as a cash cow... they've killed it and jumped the shark.  

 

 

Immaculate basketball almost screwed me up because I kept trying to type Ron Artest in there.  I'm all for legally changing a person's name, but when the name change is to something stupid like World Peace -- that guy needs a punch in the head.

I think it was after seeing him play really really well at LG that the idea of not moving him gained traction, and then adding Jurgens was the icing on the cake.   Dickerson is huge for a center.  Really really huge.

Jurgens was specificly targeted in the draft to play C.  Kelce had scouted him out and gave his approval.  All that were AFTER the FO decided to keep Dickerson at G.  If the situation, e.g. injuries, calls for Dickerson to play C, he needs some practice reps to get ready.
