The biggest thing for the schedule release is Fans planning their schedule for Road trips for the season, people notifying their jobs for days off as those decisions have to be made by mid summer.. Airline & hotel reservations -ECT those things are a big deal.
It's nonsensical to think Devante Contested Catch/Zero Separation Parker is going to make it over a player who a draft pick was used on; a player with freak traits. A player who also wouldn't clear waivers because of those traits.
My thing is, who’s the guy who suppose to develop our young talent at WR? We know Coach Stout so well because of what he’s done with the development of our o-lineman for years! Just like Fangio looks at Jalyx Hunt as a “project”, someone in our offense room should be eyeing Johnny Wilson the same! He can be a very reliable 3rd down/red zone threat
Zack Baun is probably a freebie for you guys when you make your final 53 man roster predictions. He is 100% making this roster with they way they never stop talking about him
FYI the birds signed a bunch of players off other practice squads this year because the COVID / NIL rules made this draft class particularly shallow, hollowing out the UDFA market. Think it was an interesting and forward-looking move.
Do they not realize he was a top returner last year, or do they think the team values that so little theyd be willing to cut him? The constant questioning of covey roster worthiness is baffling.
I think Maddox has a shot on the roster over ricks because he can back-up anyone in the secondary, and still play nickel at a very high level. He's just too injury prone to be a starter, and too good/versatile to be cut entirely. I also see Ricks as a better trade asset too
I disagree about numbers! But I've played sports my whole life. My number is 27 . The sport I'm still playing is baseball. I love how 27 looks on a baseball uniform. My favorite single digits numbers are 9, 7, 3 . For me I personally think certain numbers look better to the eyes. For hockey 77 . 97. 88. 66. 99. 27. 37. 33 are all pretty good hockey numbers
Guys JOHNNY WILSON is 1000% making the team. How many times do I have to say this. They found something at the end of the season with Julio in the slot getting all his TD’s on those crossing routes. Johnny Wilson is a better player than Davante Parker is right now. Johnny Wilson will make the team and will get snaps in the slot this year.
Yup my philosophy was we're gonna be the first team to remix the position, instead of using a small speedy/shifty guy we use a big dude with height and long stride's to break that mold and kill for us for a season or 3 till everybody follows suit but until then he kills it in that position because NOBODY can guard him without taking a double away from somebody else in a crucial situation, We're both on to something and everybody is blind for some reason thinking inside the box and in old school X's and O's terms... *FlyEaglesFly* *BirdGangTillIDie*
Johnny Wilson cancels out Parker... directly. He needs to work on his hands some, but he's big and strong enough that the only way you stop him is if he drops the ball. Give me the unicorn over the jump ball merchant who has literally had ONE noteworthy season.
As someone who went to fsu and watched every game, the kid can play. He is faster than people think, can run some nice routes, and Honestly a lot of his drops seem to be because the college ball was small for his hands
The Exaggeration of Birds Fall (Writer Lateef Merritt) Let’s really take a look at this so called “birds collapse”. I think people are forgetting that the Eagles were on a 5 game win streak of facing Miami, Washington, Dallas, Kansas City, and buffalo; the matchup against San Fran they were rested coming off a mini bye week and pissed off at their previous loss to the birds…and they whooped our butts…slay and Bradberry actually played very well our linebackers not so much granted they were coming from the practice squad….then going into the Dallas game Dallas was also coming off a mini bye week and pissed at their previous loss to the eagles so they wanted it more and also whooped our butts…the next game was the Seattle game which they won by 3 with a walk off TD the Eagles then go and beats their divisional opponent the giants next game they lose to Arizona by 4 to a TD with 32 secs left next game the Eagles rested their starters against that same divisional opponent they just beat two weeks prior and lost that game following week round one playoffs they lose the game not being able to generate any offense with AJ brown not playing. I say that to say yes the collapse was disappointing to say the least but let’s not exaggerate over this so called collapse..in my honest opinion i believe the inexperienced coordinators is what hampered the birds after 12 weeks there’s lots of film on you and if you don’t adjust you will get beat…the changing of the guard mid-shift didn’t do them any good either but here we are 2024 with experienced coordinators and more talent these birds are about to takeoff no questions about it NFC/NFC East easy schedule you heard it here first.

Lol Dave was on point today... Well done fellas I literally look forward to these. Dave is the only person who can deal with reub lol
i would not waste any roster spot on McPherson. he is toast!
why
i have more confidence in Pickett needing to play a game than Mariota.

Exactly!!! I can’t wait to fly somewhere nice with my new wife and watch my Eagle’s win on the road!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@EricGibson-d3b now that the schedule is out... week 3 trip to NOLA is a winner, a great road trip !
It's nonsensical to think Devante Contested Catch/Zero Separation Parker is going to make it over a player who a draft pick was used on; a player with freak traits. A player who also wouldn't clear waivers because of those traits.
Yeah, if his hands improve I see him sharing the slot with Ainias Smith or maybe Paris Campbell.
Keep the Nuggets coming Rube, We appreciate you

Just like Fangio looks at Jalyx Hunt as a “project”, someone in our offense room should be eyeing Johnny Wilson the same! He can be a very reliable 3rd down/red zone threat
I'd prob risk keeping Johnny Wilson and putting Calcaterra on the practice squad. Same "type" player to me. Grant has proven to have injury history.
Need to keep Wilson in rotation to give the defense different looks
Good Stuff guys. Keep up the good work
Johnny Wilson to not make the 53 would be ignorance
Agreed!
You hurt Roob, Dave between the players numbers and the Slack comment. Poor guy.
Zack Baun is probably a freebie for you guys when you make your final 53 man roster predictions. He is 100% making this roster with they way they never stop talking about him
They went out and signed all bigger WRs…. Covey up outta here bruh
great nuggets and an OJ story but the timeline is kind of important lol
FYI the birds signed a bunch of players off other practice squads this year because the COVID / NIL rules made this draft class particularly shallow, hollowing out the UDFA market. Think it was an interesting and forward-looking move.
We're assuming we have better returners than covey but they are question marks. Covey was one of the best punt returners last year
Do they not realize he was a top returner last year, or do they think the team values that so little theyd be willing to cut him? The constant questioning of covey roster worthiness is baffling.
Covey will be on the practice squad. Back up PR game day elevation type guy
Roob with the audacity to complain of catching strays after both he and Dave murdered Noah ToGoah's entire career the first 15 min. 😆 love this pod
RooB: "long pause" Is there such a thing as Cooked Sewage?
Dave: SMFH
Saquon will get 20+ carries a game. more depending on how the read options play out
I’m keeping Johnny Wilson over Covey all day. We drafted better returners than him.
Johnny Wilson over Covey. 1 trick pony, nice kid, but come on.
Slay, Mitchell, Dejean, ringo, ricks, Rodgers…if you really wanna take a 7th Maddox or hall. Everyone else is outta here just being realistic at CB
I think Maddox has a shot on the roster over ricks because he can back-up anyone in the secondary, and still play nickel at a very high level. He's just too injury prone to be a starter, and too good/versatile to be cut entirely. I also see Ricks as a better trade asset too
they play in maryland ROOB
why waste a roster spot on covey? easily replaced, Campbell is better.
Covey was top 3 returner last season
Eagles will carry 2 RBs and 6 recievers, I believe.
AJ
Smitty
Paris
Anis Smith
Wilson
Covey

Carey Spear aka Murderleg! LOL
They are looking for a safety in one of those cornerbacks.

Practice squad. Might play.
1000% lol
Why not keep a productive traitsy guy vs these 3rd/4th year DBs, even Maddox. Y’all need to think younger over older where able.
Mariota is a ? Pickett??? The Steelers didn't like something. I'll take experience over youth here.
Keep an undrafted over a draft pick u have control over for years to come
Pickett and Hurts’ contract kind of align. Hurts continues to slide, you have quality depth on the roster

When we understand the league runs a scripted "game" then we can understand more the real money maker is the gambling behind this charade.
Dave numbers are irrelevant.
Of all the dumb things to make an event out of.
