Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): THIS IS BRAZIL (Start Of 2024 Regular Season)

[Kermit the Prog]

There's maneuvering that'll have to happen - no doubt.

I wouldn't be shocked if Slay, Bradberry, Elliot, Huff, or Goedert are cut/moved to free up space (Garrett or no Garrett).

It's doable, but really my biggest question would be what draft picks it would take to make it happen.

No

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Oh, then there's no issue here for the Birds in the short term if they want Myles. Wonderful.



Certainly won't be an easy one, but I have lots of faith in Howard - so hey we'll see!

We have a need for him and he wants a Lombardi, so ::

Yeah, I doubt they end up winning the bidding, but there a 100% chance they're involved. It's a position he wants to pay and the guy is a universally recognized gamechanger. They're in on some level.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

No

I don't want to, but he's at that magic 30 number where you start eyeing up money vs. contribution and they don't utilize him probably as much as they should considering what he's paid. Plus he gets injured a bit...ehhh.

I could absolutely see him as a casualty, even if I myself don't want him to be.

Sounds like a complete nightmare.

Yep. 6.3 is what they could get it down to. The Eagles are a team that will cut that check.

Found a couple articles from last month, mostly just wishing

Can Eagles Land $125 Million 6-Time Pro Bowler?

The Philadelphia Eagles should be watching the Cleveland Browns very closely this offseason. Philadelphia is heading into the National Football League playoffs

I can't see it happening next year as I don't think Calcaterra is a #1 TE and bringing in a #1 FA would be cost-prohibitive. I think the players you already mentioned should be enough. I am not going to do the salary cap math, but it looks close enough.

The Pope's Saints hashtags make a little more sense now.

Emails detail Saints' aid to archdiocese in scandal

Emails detail the efforts made by Saints team officials to assist New Orleans church leaders in handling the fallout from a sexual abuse crisis within the archdiocese.

Someone needs to recut that and put The Godfather's theme music from WWF.

 

[philly_28]

No but he didn't run tempo, he ran turbo. That's what I was more wondering

1st & 10: incomplete pass
2nd & 10: -2 yard rush attempt
3rd & 12: 7 yard gain on a checkdown by Bradford

All done in 40 seconds.

All these years later I'm still a little pissy about this madness, haha.

I think if anyone on that Eagles defense had murdered Chip Kelly they could have pled self-defense.

Tampa could use a guy like Myles

If there is an Australian game, I would imagine it's either bookended by a Bye or they go Thurs --> Australia --> Sun night or Monday.


Chip found his groove again at UCLA. He’s gotten to a varied and complex run game. The wacky twists are back. 2025 Chip and Stoutland would make angels sing on the ground.

Since it came up, no he doesn't go at Mach 1 anymore. That advantage disappeared due to rule changes and defensive adaptations.

I would have to think that game is followed by their bye.

 

[DancingPanther]

Doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy considering the passing game associated with the passing game coordinator is pretty....well you know

 

[JojoTheWhale]

If Sweat and Graham are gone (probably are), they will badly need some size on the Edge. Mid round not small guy seems like a solid possibility.

Tag @DancingPanther, you coward.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

P.S.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Well, let's see if the Commanders want to win big or not with that Kupp news

 

[Chinatown88]

Tag @DancingPanther, you coward.

Cooper Kupp sucks and is old @DancingPanther

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Kupp can probably start practicing his Texan accent now.

@JojoTheWhale you mentioned awhile back the MOF being an issue for us on defense. Curious how you think Vic might try to address that?

And off of that, what worries you more, their O vs our D, or vice versa?

I'm not smart enough to guess what two absolute masters like Vic and Andy are going to have in their pockets as counterpunches.

In general, just remember that Fangio's whole philosophy is that it's easier to come forward than it is to have to play while retreating. So there are going to be short passes open in basically every game. Part of the philosophy is that you have to tackle well to limit those gains. Obviously that's one thing that has improved immensely from last year.

And off of that, what worries you more, their O vs our D, or vice versa?

Yes.

I guess if you made me pick, it would be KC Defense vs Eagles Offense because that side of the ball has a lower floor to me. Spags could just wreck the whole game. He's so good at breaking protection rules. Saquon has been a monster blocker recently. That's going to need to stay true.

Appreciate the response. And I would probably agree, because Hurts/Moore are clearly the weakest duo of that group. I have no idea what to expect in this one. I feel like this year's team is better overall than our last meeting, but that was also Hurts' best year. Gonna be a butt clencher. Hopefully Barkley goes ham.
