  1. Anybody know a good website for NFL draft rankings and good scouting reports that isn't behind a paywall? Combine coming up in 1 month. Need to get up to o speed how this year's underclassmen who just declared.
  2. CJ Anderson Cortrelle Javon (FAT CJ) The newest position in football... THE FAT BACK!!!
  3. I would love to see a Chiefs vs Rams Super Bowl. That Monday Night football game earlier in L.A. was epic. So many angles. Top 2 offences in the NFL. Could be historical and usher in a new era of NFL football. Old school offensive genius Andy Reid vs new school mastermind Sean McVay. In my opinion the 2 best offensive minds and most entertaining teams to watch in the NFL right now.
  4. Yeah I think they said on NFL Network he had only 3 drops the whole year on catchable targets.
  5. Hint of racism perhaps? Just last week they were talking on ESPN FC, how an African player for the Italian club Napoli was racially abused in Milan by the opposing fans. Think it was Kouoiibaly or something. So it does still go on. I can't believe that is acceptable at all in this day and age.
  6. Been a good fight. But injuries catching up 2 Eagles. Lost their Hall of Fame Left Tackle now and already without their pro bowl guard. Fletcher Cox also out. The fact this is still close is amazing.
  7. Off waivers after Detroit cut him. Pleasant surprise. Really scrappy and doesn't quit on any play even when beat.
  8. Only reason Saints are in game because of Eagles injuries. They got smacked in the mouth.
  9. What a boring playoffs so far. All blowouts or low scoring. Only interesting when the Eagles play.
  10. Bulletin Board Material for the Eagles. This might be true but not going down without a fight. I expect a very good hard fought game.
  11. Long term health and longevity wise in terms of career you go MLB. But he has to wait 2 years or more because he is a 5 tool player but is still a raw prospect that has to work his way through the minor league system first. Then he has to establish himself in the MLB before he gets a big free agent deal. As long as he is a 1st round pick in the NFL he gets more money guaranteed up front than his baseball signing bonus and what he would make his first few years in his baseball career while he toils in the minors. If I was him I go to the NFL and use the success of short QBs like Russel Wilson and Baker Mayfield as a reference point into what a possible successful career path looks like. With his baseball background he could be a small version of Patrick Mahomes. They both are mobile and have excellent velocity on their passes. Kyler Murray's biggest issue might be navigating the trees in the pocket obscuring his view because of his lack of height. One way to combat this is to get on your tippy toes like Drew Brees does so effectively. This is a very weak qb class. He could easily be QB1 if he crushes the NFL scouting combine in a month or so.
  12. Kyler Murray is going to the NFL!!! Is he the next Russel Wilson? How high dies he get drafted? Which team or scheme would he fit best? Or should he just stick to baseball and avoid a potential serious injury due to his small size.
  13. Probably a significant pay bump and more responsibility. I'm thinking associate HC. He has made there defence very good from mediocre at best very quickly. Pete Carroll coaching tree. Could do well one day. You need a good qb though. Every HC that failed was in large part because the qb didn't develop or play well enough.
  14. I don't see anybody picking the Eagles to beat the Saints. 4 keys to how Eagles can win. 1) Get off to a fast start and score early and hope the Saints offence is rusty off a bye week and having not played as a full unit in 3 weeks. 2) Mix up the coverages with Brees and try to mix in more tight press man coverage at the line to disrupt Brees' timing. Don't play DBs 5 yards off all game and let him nickel and dime you down the field and then double move you when you try to get agressive and break on a route. 3) D Line has to dominate and play a great game because the Saints banged up OL who are coming off injuries and will not all be at 100%. 4) Target Eli Apple and PJ Williams in coverage. Try to get the shifty Sproles matched up against the Saints bigger LBs. 5) Run enough to stay balanced and keep Brees off the field so he can't get in rhythm. Thoughts?
  15. They are probably hoping he is the next Mike Tomlin. Young black position coach with a fiery personality to be a leader of men. Dolphins GM IIRC correctly is the only current black GM, Chris Grier, with the retirement of Ozzie Newsome in Baltimore. They gotta find a franchise qb first. His scuess hinges on that. Maybe draft Kyler Murray? The history of Patriots assistants from the Belichick tree is terrible though. Last year the hot $&!# was the rocket scientist Matt Patricia. Pretty sure McDaniels is the only one who night have a modicum of success.
  16. I have to disagree with you as much as hate to say this. I really think the Cowboys might actually beat the Rams now that they have a legit defence. He got shutdown by the Eagles OL and TE's helping. They had a great gameplan for him. Damn now Saints will win for sure?! Have to backup the coach or Payton looks like a huge idiot if they choke now somehow. Fack. Let's see if Roseman can convince Gruden to trade both for Foles!!
  17. It was Trevon Hester, a backup DT they got off waivers. Amazing how this team continues to fight with so many starters and key players out. More impressive than last season IMO, where they still had a strong 3 headed RB rotation with Blount,Ajayi, and Clement to lean on. How do they upset the Saints who are favored by 9 points, already at home, where they haven't lost a playoff game in over 25 years? If Foles pulls this off he can never be questioned as the greatest backup qb of all time. But he already has proven a ton regardless and is a legend. Can he write another chapter in this magical story? Have to remember the Eagles are without their 2 best RBs and haven't had a strong running game at all the whole year. Playing with 4 backups in the secondary and depleted on the DL with injuries to depth pieces. Also they have been trying to create big plays without a true deep threat speed wide receiver all year. I really hope Mike Wallace can play this week. He could be the Eagles secret weapon against the Saints. They need all the bodies they can get. Solid summary of today's games. Trubisky reminds me a little of Alex Smith. Any thoughts on how Eagles can pull the huge upset over the Saints, who just don't lose at home in the playoffs?
  18. There were other plays like the big 2 point conversion miss and the missed opportunities on both sides I'm sure. Reminds me of last year vs the Falcons except even more dramatic.
  19. An ACT OF GOD. Bless St. Nick Foles. Double double doink off both posts. I can't believe it. Thought it was over when they didn't convert the 2 point conversion.
  20. Eagles achilles heels are those double moves last 2 seasons. Huge uphill climb to come back now.
  21. Wasn't this the guy caught cheating on his wife banging a high class underage prostitute?
  22. Finally a TD. Only took till midway in the 3rd quarter. Let's go.
  23. My only concern is the Bears start running more with Howard in the 2nd half to wear down the Eagles pass rush. Eagles have no run game which hurts Foles being able to play action pass and take some shots downfield.
  24. The Bears are supposed to have the best defence in the NFL by advanced metrics. They produce the most turnovers. Eagles got to be the happier team. Still in this thing with 2 turnovers. Half time adjustments are key though.
