CrazedDogs Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Can't believe he's already over 30. Had a good early half of his career. Hope he's done now though, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK-Giantsfan Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 way past his prime ....and on the decline at 32 .....hopefully ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 A solid pick up. The guy is a seasoned vet who can still get the job done, had a good year by 3-4 DE standards. Time flies though, I still feel like he was drafted last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I remember Howie at the end of his career, and now I've seen his son's career. Damn, I feel old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BronxEagle Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Welcome aboard chap! Yup. We need cornerbacks, no? Are the Eagles gonna wait for the draft for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 You guys thinking its going to be a quick turnaround? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxEagle Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 You guys thinking its going to be a quick turnaround? I'm not thinking that. I guess it depends on Carson's development. Giving him Alshon to throw to makes a world of difference this season. I have to think another season of Carson's development before we even think turnaround... but I could be wrong.

Blindgreed1 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Yup. We need cornerbacks, no? Are the Eagles gonna wait for the draft for this? I think so, but there's still a few head scratchers. Kendricks for one. Pederson says he's planning on him being here, but he's a cap hit if he stays and he struggled. Agholar is looking like he's 2nd in line behind Smallwood for special teams returns? We are also looking at 3 different RB's in the draft with McKaffrey in the lead. There's a lot of secondary talent in this draft in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got tired of seeing them get toasted every 5 plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BronxEagle Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 whoa, I missed that. Nice fit. They also got Tory Smith, who can still stretch the field for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Well, they needed a WR overhaul, so good on them. I kind of joked about Peterson, but he's better than Chip Gimmick Kelly. He's had a level headed tenure so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindgreed1 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 They also got Tory Smith, who can still stretch the field for you. I'm actually more hyped for Smith than Jefferies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Those signings got some really bad marks in the analytics crowd, but I'm not sure I understand why, not like they were ridiculous contracts or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindgreed1 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 That Jernigan trade is a great one for you Indeed. Dude's a beast. Across the board for a 3rd round pick at 74 is a smoking deal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 It's not even for the pick. You're getting their compensatory pick so you're just dropping your third 25 spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindgreed1 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 It's not even for the pick. You're getting their compensatory pick so you're just dropping your third 25 spots 74 to 99 works for me. Score mobile said it was a trade for the pick. I like the truth better.

Herc Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Yeah even if you don't sign him you could make the case it's still worth one season out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldEagleFan Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yeah even if you don't sign him you could make the case it's still worth one season out of him Agree 100%. It should take some double teams off of Cox who by my observations did not have a great year expected from a guy who just signed a $100M contract. Film watchers say Cox graded out well but I was expecting big stats also. The new guy should provide enough push up the middle to give Curry enough time to get there from the edge. Eagles have a lot of money invested in Cox and Curry but did not get the return for their dollar last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
