Random Eagles Information Still Not Worthy of a New Thread

[Diomedes]

Jeffery was cleared for contact

*sigh of relief"

[ice grillin you]

rodney mcleod out for the year at arguably their weakest position in terms of depth.....not good

[Diomedes]

So what to do?  Graham fills behind him?  Move Mills or Douglas to safety?  Maddox to slot?  Sidney Jones outside?

[ice grillin you]

gotta be graham this week as i cant imagine any corner would be prepared for a position change in that short of time if anyone on the roster could ever qualify to make that move

if theres anyone it seems like mills has some of that skill set...but what he or really anyone else wont be able to replace is mcleods tackling and overall physicality...graham cant cover and mills aint scaring anyone

no matter what happens its a big loss

i think the way you replace mcleoud is with pts....get alshon back and the offense clicking like it did last year with carson and you can offset the pts you are going to give up by losing rodney by outscoring people

[QB Eagles]

In the short term it's likely Graham backed up by Sullivan, but they could sign a guy. Quintin Demps and Nate Allen are available.

[MDS]

wouldnt be surprised if bradham plays more snaps

graham will pretty much have to be a CF now

rodney mcleod out for the year at arguably their weakest position in terms of depth.....not good

That really blows. I was wondering why they were talking about trading for Earl Thomas on the radio.

Losing McLeod sucks

Reid signed with Carolina today too which I was hoping they'd take a shot at him

[QB Eagles]

How 21st century teams fared on their first attempt to start a dynasty:

2000 Rams - 10-6, lost Wild Card game (Vermeil retired)
2001 Ravens - 10-6, lost Divisional game
2002 Patriots - 8-8, missed playoffs
2003 Bucs - 7-9, missed playoffs
2006 Steelers - 8-8, missed playoffs
2007 Colts - 13-3, lost Divisional game
2008 Giants - 12-4, lost Divisional game
2010 Saints - 11-5, lost Wild Card game
2011 Packers - 15-1, lost Divisional game
2013 Ravens - 8-8, missed playoffs
2014 Seahawks - 12-4, lost Super Bowl
2016 Broncos - 9-7, missed playoffs (Manning retired)

If you count the Patriots dynasties separately then their second attempt to start a dynasty (2015) ended 12-4 and with a loss in the AFCCG. The Steelers and Giants also failed to make the playoffs after their second Super Bowl wins with Roethlisberger and Manning.

Only the Packers, Colts, and Seahawks won their first one and immediately stayed a dominant force in their conference. Two of those teams had like a top 3 all-time QB at the height of his powers. The Seahawks played in what was a very weak conference, where Aaron Rodgers was basically the only threat to prevent them from going back to the SB.

this is quite the stat

Eagles secondary over the last six road games has allowed 2,111 Yds with 17 TDs and 3 INTs.

[Don Ho]

Holy shtein!

Jim Schwartz?  What's going on there?   Defense has become so blah.  How many times did he blitz yesterday?  Yes we all know the secondary is awful but they're going to get burned anyway so might as will send the house more than a few times a game.  MM carried the Titans yesterday, their offense sucks.  He was basically playing with half an arm.  Schwartz needed to send people and get in his face.

[Diomedes]

How many times did he blitz yesterday

I don't know, seemed to me more than he usually does, and at all the wrong times/places.  The coaches were stumped yesterday.

[Don Ho]

Yep he blitzed on that last play, third down, MM has to go the end zone, anything short Titans have to haul ass the FG team out there.  Schwartz should have had a 3 man rush max, spy to prevent MM from taking off and everyone else at the goal line & end zone.

AND did anyone else see the block from behind on Lewis' fourth down play?  Think it was #19 who threw it.

[Diomedes]

On Hicks, yeah.  But I'm not going to be caught bitching about refs in a game that the Eagles could have put away any number of times and didn't. 

[Don Ho]

True, this thing should have been put away in 3Q.  3 fourth down conversions on the same drive IN OT and MM's scramble on 3 & 19! There's the farging problem.
