Yep - I sure though he was gone after this season based on those.

But it goes to show sometimes its game reps where guys make or break themselves.

Guilty as charged.

Truly though...can you think of a more improbable story?  It's amazing.

I feel like it's good karma payback for ally villanueva and I never feel like that about any of my teams

The real crime is them not trying him at TE or as a goal line runner, but I guess having a left tackle that might hold his spot for a decade could be nice instead.

The man. The myth. The legend.

My thoughts regarding Mailata and luck run darker: I feel like any day now I'm gonna open :CF in the morning to learn he was killed overnight by a drunk driver.

It's just too good to be true.

What I want to see is ten years of Eagles halfbacks sailing through gaping canyons plowed clear by Mailata knocking down men who are not accustomed to being bullied around, and a generation of DEs and OLBs frustrated by snap after snap of facing a monster who swallows them up and smothers them all game long. 

I don't need to see him with the ball.

seems really tame for a football play....in fact it appears that smith goes out of his way to turn so that his shoulder leads and not his helmet

QB Eagles

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).

Diomedes

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.
