Eagles Fired Tom Gamble

[MDS]

matthews in the 2nd wasnt even a good pick....hes milquetoast, replaceable. riley cooper would be putting up the same numbers if were in the slot facing linebackers and everyone's third best CB

chip was in love with him because he was a college grad, team captain, smoothie drinker. CULTURE

How do havas's nuts taste?

like crack juice

again we disagree much more of than we agree....just last night OG was talking up trey burton like he was the second coming.

[SD]

matthews is so good he couldnt beat kkkooper for a starting job and he couldnt leave the comfort of jason avant's slot position

hes a nice player....hes an nfl player....but he's not an elite or even a "great" player

He's better suited in the slot. You put Kkk in the slot and he doesn't post similar numbers. Matthews size and ability to use that size created mismatches in the middle of the field. Kkk is better outside because he has better open field speed. Really it's irrelevant because the Eagles don't use their slot receivers in a traditional sense.

matthews was never supposed to play anywhere but the slot so its not fair to say he couldn't beat out kkk

and trey burton will be a bust out player next season

anytime you can spend a 2nd round pick on a No. 3 wide out, its something you gotta do

and NO

How was he a #3 wide out? He was targeted more than Cooper. Just because you play the slot it doesn't mean you're not better than the guy playing wideout. Randall Cobb is the second best wr on the Packers yet he's mostly lined up in the slot. It's called creating mismatches.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yep - slot WR doesn't mean #3. This ain't Az Hakim and the Rams era anymore - he's in the slot because he matches up better there.

Roob reports that Howie got a $200k annual raise - so he's making $1.7m now and his deal runs through 2020

Cooper is one of the best blocking wr's in the league so that's irrelevant

[Rome]

He has to pleasure Lurie's ex-wife for the extra $200K, though.

Lurie guilt runs deep

[Sgt PSN]

I wish I could find a job where a demotion comes with 15% pay raise.

[Rome]

Polish Navy?

[Sgt PSN]

Perhaps. They have the submarines with screen doors, right?

[QB Eagles]

Hey, it's not a demotion. It's a promotion that just happens to be exactly like his old job, only with fewer responsibilities.
