Bad news for the draft pick, good news for Chip as a talent evaluator

Probably just because Cortez Allen would normally be on the outside, but he's had success against Gronk in the past so for Week 1 it makes sense to put Allen in the slot.

Good point. I would be really shocked if Boykin was the 4th corner there the whole year.

I would still take him back too and maintain trading him was a mistake more so now than before based on what the Eagles depth chart looks like. And because Rowe should be delivering pizzas.

Boykin couldn't supplant Williams & Fletcher at CB last year.  Why is it surprising that he's not starting in Pittsburgh?  I can seen being mildly surprised that he's not slated to be the slot DB, but it's not like he's the best player in the history of the universe.



its only surprising to homer eagles fans who think every eagles player is amazing

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

The Laurel and Hardy Show has begun...

Homerzzzzz snarky comments and more homerzzz

QB Eagles

See who's in the slot Week 2 against SF before firing up the MOCK machine. Like I said, I'm pretty sure the Steelers are going with a special Gronk defense in the kickoff game. On a normal week Boykin has to be their best slot option.

That whole Steelers defense looks like shtein, so he may get opportunities as they shuffle things around.

he also has to learn the defense and he may not fully be there yet...learning the slot is not like being alone on the outside and manning up with whoever the outside wr is

plus i think he has to play 50% of the snaps for it to be a 4th rounder

i thought deion sanders jr would jump right in there and dominate
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

Rome

So he's not playing in Pittsburgh because he's unfamiliar with playing the slot?

Okey dokey.

ice grillin you

cause he may not have the system down pat dummy

have no idea why he's not playing I just know he'd be the best corner on the eagles right now

lol at homers having watched a guy play for three years and now thinking he sucks

this means one of two things you didn't really watch him or he got zesty overnite because he wears a different teams jersey

either way i love it

You think Boykin is better than Maxwell/Carroll? If that's true you have no right calling anyone a dummy.

Rome

I never said he sucks.  I said it was a mistake to trade him.   Settle down, Gladys.

hes a better slot guy than either of them are at corner....i mean carroll isnt very good at all....so thats not saying much...maxwell from what ive seen of him is good but not better than boykin...to be fair need to give maxwell a year as a starter...hes never really played full time....he deserves a shot to shine as a number one guy...so far hes been a good corner but he was playing in the shade of superstars all around him

lets see how he does covering the calvin johnsons and dez bryants of the world for 50 snaps a game on a weekly basis...he will have every opportunity to earn his money and then some

ok, just to be clear, pick 2 out of the 3: Boykin, Carroll, Maxwell

I disagree Carroll isn't very good. He's not a pro bowler by any means but he's a solid corner.

and yeah jury is still out on Maxwell and yeah he's got his work cut out for him. The need for a good safety is going to rear it's ugly head at some point because their schedule is chock full with elite WRs

ice grillin you

maxwell and boykin and its not even close....boykin you slam in the slot and have one of the best at that position in the nfl...mawell in theory has a ceiling still and played well on a sb winning defense

carroll is better than bradley fletcher (i think) which for the eagles right now is all that matters but hes a dime a dozen corner in the nfl...you can get a nolan carroll every single year in free agency and most years in the draft if you want...i actually like him probably more than most people do...for example i know a couple miami fans who say he blows...i dont think hes wack or anything but hes just another guy
