Well at least he had the best highlight video of the draft.

Finally Peters replacement! Actually I don't mind the flyer, if they could have found a way to hold on to Al Villanueva they'd already be set with the bookends of the future.

As someone who played rugby I can attest to how difficult it would be to bring down that dude.  Holy moley he trucked some little Aussies.  Lol.

I love the pick.  A year on the practice squad and they might have something special.

not me....the last thing i want is real nfl players knee and head hunting him because hes a rugby player trying to get into their club and the eagles are using him to show them up

just use this season to learn how to play OT....i get the fun aspect of seeing him try it but he needs every practice rep that exists and it would be stupid to risk injury for him in such an important year...he should have one job and one job only this season...learn how to play football

First start of his career, plays better than anyone could reasonably hope.  Three years ago, had never touched an American football.  Now, he's at worst as serviceable back up LT in the NFL.  That's just nuts.

Post by: Diomedes on October 05, 2020, 08:08:55 AM
I'm gonna enjoy reading all week about Mailata's development.  What a coup for the Eagles to have turned an absolute neophyte into, at worst, a reserve NFL LT / Trade bait.

This year's Eagles are a bad team in a really boring way. At least this guy is interesting and has an upside. I'm glad he's out there and interested to see what he build from what he did last week, which was impressive.
Title: Re: Jordan Mailata, Philadelphia Eagle
Post by: Diomedes on October 09, 2020, 07:58:50 AM
It's already a pretty stunning success.  At 23 years old, with the performance and promise he's demonstrated already..at the least, he's tradeable for far, far more value than the draft capital invested in him.  Only question now is whether he's good enough to be too valuable to trade.
Title: Re: Jordan Mailata, Philadelphia Eagle

Time to buy your second Eagles jersey to replace the David Akers...
Title: Re: Jordan Mailata, Philadelphia Eagle
Post by: Diomedes on December 02, 2020, 05:00:28 PM
I didn't buy that one, it was a corporate freebee.  I did buy one Eagles jersey, a Tim Hauck replica.

I sent the Akers jersey to T-Hawk one year so he could rep midnight green at a game, and I sent the Hauck jersey as a gift to a guy I met when I visited Serbia.  What a farging strange time, reading and posting to :CF while on vacation in Serbia.  That was a great trip. 

I haven't spent a single dime on Eagles merch since that Hauck jersey. 
Title: Re: Jordan Mailata, Philadelphia Eagle

Post by: SD on December 02, 2020, 05:57:08 PM
He's really hit or miss. There's times he just completely dominated and took the defender out of the play, then there's times he looks lost trying to figure out the rushing schemes. He's definitely got it he just needs to refine his craft. I'm more encouraged by what I saw from him this season than what I saw from Dillard last year although in fairness Dillard didn't get consistent reps and was lined up on the right side which he's not used to.

Title: Re: Jordan Mailata, Philadelphia Eagle
Post by: QB Eagles on December 09, 2020, 11:41:05 AM
If the team is willing to force Wentz to earn his job back after they've committed to him contractually, it's a million times easier for them to ask the same of Dillard. Play the best guy, keep the other as depth unless he can learn to play at a starting level out of position.

Rare roster spot where at least theoretically the Eagles have multiple assets. [And Dillard may suck but imho we haven't seen enough of him at LT to write him off.]

keeping dillard and mailata are no brainers

one can be moved to guard or RT. seamalu could take over center.

i think dillard can play in the nfl, at some level, it just depends on how big of a puss he is. seems like he doesnt love football and isnt maniacal about crushing people. if thats the case hell be out the league like the fireman

im not even saying hes played bad but hes had one foot for out the retirement door for three offseasons now...center would be an issue cause hes not going to be on the team not because hes going to be zesty...

but it shouldnt really be an issue anyway...its such an easy position to fill in todays nfl...

theres maybe one or two great ones each season one or two zesty ones and 30 perfectly fine ones...protect your edges is all that really matters these days

tbf to them they did walk away from JP and only came crawling back when brooks and dillard got hurt. and of course they didnt need him...herbig and mailata are better and they had those guys in the building for over a year and didnt seem to know that.

they should just eat it all now and move on from lane, kelce, brooks. rip the band aid off. theyre gonna suck next year with or without them.

Second that!  Lane is quickly turning into the next JP, Kelce really want to be here?, Brooks is broken,  Move on to Mailata, Herbig, Driscoll, move Seamalu to C and pray Dillard can get it together.  And as Todd mentioned earlier, getting the "fireman" vibe from Dillard.

Post by: QB Eagles on December 29, 2020, 11:54:13 AM
I'd say it's illegal but dirty implies intent that might not have been there. Looks like he was bracing for a trucking that never came. Also just a bad play by both Smith (makes no attempt at Sanders) and Mailata (should have run through Smith instead of that stutter step). Also Pryor (egregious hold).

What do you think are the chances this play results in a fine for Smith?

He's got a better shot at being fined for his socks being at the incorrect height.

minimal...it only exists because mailata got hurt...also it was such a non descript play i imagine the eagles would have to have sent film to the league and complained about the shot and/or asked for a ruling on a fine

have they done that or is this beef just a guy on twitter who noticed it?...like is this a thing

I don't know the rules well enough to guess what will happen but I def. don't see Smith trying to lead with the shoulder.  I see a head shot, which I think is illegal.  Whether it's dirty, that's a whole nother level of "I don't know," because I can't see intent, and it's close enough to a football move that I'm not gonna judge.  It's not like he stomped on a down man's uncovered head or anything.

No idea.  I saw it and wanted to ask my football buddies on the fan site we use what they think.

I think he should be fined and since the refs like to call using the helmet to initiate contact it should have been flagged too.

its absolutely was not helmet to helmet...forward to the contact and pause...the crown of smiths helmet is almost facing the near sideline...it was a partial hit to the head but it was with the shoulder and smith goes out of way to make sure of that

If it's on one of half the starting quarterbacks that's actually good and also still healthy, they'd probably throw a flag. For a lineman, that's just another Sunday.

Think there's close to zero chance of a fine. Remember that Clowney was never fined for that Wentz hit. How often do you even see flags when a lineman and linebacker collide?

Wait!  This is wrong, correct?  The Eagles ran the ball in the second half?

Which reminds me - of all the positions people here have mentioned they'd like to see Mailata, I think he'd provide the biggest upgrade at play caller.

Officially not fined.

So now can we officially erase the Andre Dillard thread?
