🦅 THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES THREAD 🦅 | Salute to Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox

[Upptempo]

Assuming Avonte is out for long or the season, are we putting Jobe there as the starter or Bradberry? They were talking about JB taking a lot of slot snaps since Maddox is so injury prone

I thought JB playing slot was more so to let him line up vs TEs given what kelce did

but otherwise, I’d hope we go with 1 of the young guys

Let Mario play the slot

The fact that fletch can still play at a high level is great. But he shouldn’t be playing more than 1/3 of the snaps; especially with Carter being the younger version of him

He is the person you want fresh down the stretch and while he’s on the way towards washed, he can still wreck a game from time to time

Swift looked amazing last night. He should be getting the bulk of snaps with Kenny getting the 2nd most and Penny getting the third most. Penny def showed a ton of rust in his first game in awhile. Swift was gliding through rushing lanes and Penny was running into walls

 

[IATT]

I put swift in the same boat as fletch

Dude should get solid snaps, but I want them both saved to a degree

No way in hell should it be the split of game 1

But swift should be around 150-170 carries with 40 catches range

Maddox with a torn pec. Out for the year. It’s every year with him…

Honestly surprised he was still even on the team.

 

[Upptempo]

Defense was decent without Maddox last season. Assuming Reed and JB can stay healthy once they're back I think secondary will be fine. When Slay was on Jefferson he was holding him to short completions so he clearly is still able to maintain his side

 

[amitt5504]

Bring back Sid for the dread energy

 

[extraordinary swag]

long as Josiah Scott isn't on the team anymore we should be ok but I'm done with Avonte he can go

You do realize Jobe is still on the roster

 

[Upptempo]

You do realize Jobe is still on the roster

Jobe isn't a lockdown corner by any means but he's serviceable if Slay and Reed are on the field

 

[District of Columbia]

What have you seen from Jobe to bash him already

Man’s just be hating for no reason

 

[k3stacks]

Teams went from selling out to stop the run to selling out to stop the pass.

Give it time we will get things sorted out while still winning.

Mac & Kirk threw for like 700 yards combined in LOSING efforts while we still sorting stuff out.

I expect more answers in these 10 days because we know for a fact Todd Bowles gonna do the same thing.

 

[k3stacks]

Gon head and let baker throw for 40+ attempts. Goodluck. Teams cant run on us no more

Last night lol

I’d rather Ricks be out there

 

[Upptempo]

If the O Line and RBs dominate the line of scrimmage, idc how the pass game looks. No team is gonna be able to lockdown the run game while simultaneously holding guys like D Smith, AJ, and Goedert. Only defenses that may be able to are SF and Dallas but if our defense shows up, we're still in those games

That's the one thing I've been surprised about on defense. I expected Reddick to have a stronger start but if teams gotta start focusing on Davis and Carter more, he's gonna get easier matchups

this why I don’t get the Barnett snaps

throw Nolan smith to the fire a bit, you see dude flying down there on kickoff coverage

He didnt get his 1st sack last year til week 3 against amitt5504 boy wince

That's a great point. Similar to how people were worried about DeVonta Smith after game 1 last year and dude balled out which is why I'm not worried about AJ and Dallas.

Yeah if we're giving Jalen a decent amount of opportunities to prove himself, I don't get the hesitation to at least throw Nolan out when we have a big lead like last night
