Patrick Queen is also 6’0 and 229 pounds so complaining about trotter height and weight is straight BS. Dre Geeenlaw is also 6’0. I think trotter will be just fine and will ball out.
Again...I believe the kid is talented. And although he is undeniably undersized, as mentioned here, that in itself doesn't necessarily mean he won't have a great career. The actual point of contention for the Eagles is that we ALREADY have another undersized linebacker who's often been injured and is in a third make- or- break season. Maybe complaining about one guy who's undersized could be BS...but having TWO with one often injured could be limiting your actual personell flexibility with regards to match-ups. It's why you don't need to draft a SECOND similar player IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Listening to his interviews, Trotter, Jr. has the right mindset. Looking at his measureables and production, it is pretty surprising he went undrafted for as long as he did. Fangio's defense needs rangy LBs who can play coverage. Trotter can do those things, and he has impressive read-and-react skills on top of that - and he's very aggressive when attacking the play once he has diagnosed it. He has every chance to prove he belongs in the NFL, and given where he was drafted, if he doesn't, it's not a huge loss. We'll see. But until he has a chance to show what he can do, anyone complaining about the pick, please stop... you're embarrassing yourselves.
That LSU Safety is going to make the roster for one simple reason. He is not afraid to tackle. Outside of Sidney Brown the rest of the secondary is being put on notice. It is no coincidence that all of the DBs they have accumulated hit with a passion. That Mr. Softy defense is gone.
I think McCallen Castles, TE Tennessee is the most interesting to me. He looks like he has the tools and the track record to develop into a valuable weapon for the Birds. We know all to well how important solid TE’s are to the success of a high powered offense in both the run game and the passing game.
@@KamdenSteele_Football I'm speaking as someone who actually watches college football not someone listening to people on the TV saying if someone is good or not
Trotter Jr in the 5th is solid value. Some people had him as a projected 3rd. There was really only 1 guy that didn't have huge question marks in this LB class and that's Edgerrin Cooper, and we gave up the chance to get him after going up for DeJean, which I'm 100% ok with.
Man hearing Jeffrey lurie talking to jr made me tear up a bit. It sounds like a proud uncle moment Seeing him grow up and now playing for your team. That’s special
Some people must have forgotten a linebacker from Carolina named Sam Mills....undersized but offensive players didn't want to run into him. Trotter could end being the same (in time). Go Eagles! 🦅🦅
We can hope, but that was a different era. Sam Mills was short, but he played at a slightly higher weight than Trotter does now. I hope Trotter Jr. can be more than the sum of his parts. It's tough in a league in which everyone is a world class athlete.
@@montymontgomery8328 Like Mills, he was more short than undersized. He played 20lbs heavier than Trotter Jr. Zach Thomas will be brought up, too, and he was 30lbs heavier.
Dude spent a 5th round pick… and we can use a LB… it’s a good story, if his last name was any other and had the same production at Clemson, it wouldn’t be a story.
@@Byronic19134 not in a negative way, no… No one would question the pick is his last name was new to the City. It’d be a story for the player, not a storyline for the team.
Yo, Howie, my great grandfather played two games for the Iggles many decades ago. So now that I meet the political requirement, where's my contract to be the back-up long snapper?
Congrats on your upcoming wedding my man, hope it's the best day of your life, it was for me!! I've been subbed since the beginning but I'm hoping you reach your goal as it's well deserved and I think this channel is underrated!! Go Birds
Good luck on your wedding hope it goes well! Just remember to live in the moment cause before you know it that special day will fly by! So enjoy every second!
Some must have forgot about an undersized center they said would never make it by the name of Jason Kelcee. It's not the size of a player that matters but the heart, drive and talent of a player that matters.
On the Trotter topic, I'm not sure why people keep saying he's "undersized" for the position but were excited about a 5'11 235 Dean🤔 Look at some of the best in the league today, Oluokon - 6'2 230, Z. Franklin - 6' 235 just to name a couple. It's the direction the league is going in and guys his size ARE producing
Hey Thomas, All the Best for your upcoming nuptials. Wishing you and the soon to be Mrs. Mott Good Health, Wealth and Happiness for you and your Family.
" HATING, " the pick of TROTTER JR is ridiculous. It was CLEAR VALUE at a POSITION OF NEED at a point in the draft where it's nearly always a backup - cut player within first few years. TROTTER JR is a 3rd or beginning of 4th ROUND TALENT. Could say THIS was the 3rd STEAL of the EAGLES draft.
* Now hear me out, hear me out! * In my own opinion, if the Eagles can somehow bring back Agent Zero “D’Andre Swift,” the Birds could have a powerful dynasty for years to come! Saquon Barkley (RB1), Kenneth Gainwell (RB2/3), D’Andre Swift (RB2/3), and newly drafted Will Shipley (practice squad-awaiting elevated status). Tell me I’m wrong!
Half the draft was ass and half was excellent. Trotter=ass, Shipley=👎🏽, Hunt=WTF! Yall should keep it real. I call balls and strikes like an umpire and I don't know what Howie was thinking in those 3 picks.
with what we have at linebacker, there is absolutely NO reason not to bring him in. So he is undersized, he was also a quality linebacker. We have HOT TRASH at that position.
Trot will be a starter in 2nd season. Run stopping machine. 2 down linebacker, like most in today's NFL. Loved all the picks, wait until the fans see shipley. He may just be more fun to watch then Barkley.
Anyone who talks negatively of Trotter, Jr., is on drugs ... He is an outstanding athlete, and that's what Fangio wants ... He was a very formidable LB at Clemson, not some division III school ... The game today is a game of speed ... Also, with the 2 new DB's, and Trotter, all 3 of them love to hit ... I'm tired of Eagle's defenders who do not like to smash someone ... That's why I can't wait to see Bradberry and Slay go ... I don't care how good they are or were ... They put fear in no one ... PS: A very good running back room would be Barkley, Gainwell, Shipley, and Milton ...
G enjoy your wedding! Congratulations!!! Please enjoy and be in the moment, we’ll be fine without you for a while, as you enjoy this once in a lifetime moment!
I think some of you fans that think they just drafted becuase hes Jeremiah Trotters son and is a huge stretch. To be able to be taught growing from the legendary Jeremiah Trotter all thay needs to be said. Now hes an Eagle just like his father. Wild!! His father was a freaking beast during his career. Hes easily my favorite Eagles LB/DE of all time.
Yeahhh we def need some taller linebackers bc they're gonna get picked off by TDs all day, unlessss they're quick enough and have an eye on the ball I guess?
1st of all congrats on your wedding and I love the Trotter pick I believe he’s going to do as good or better then his dad . Mitchell is my favorite pick still though and will be buying his Jersey n Trotter’s as well can’t wait .
Man this is my first time ever commenting about coach but man... I wish he sounded a little more pumped for the guys and talked a little better on the phone like some of the other coaches. He just sounds like some guy on the phone lol
People that don’t like Trotter never watch him play! As Clemson fan I watch every game he played in college. He was the leader of top ranking defense. He made all the adjustments at the line of scrimmage. He a very smart football player. That I know will transition to the nfl. People worried about his size and athleticism. When I watch him at Clemson I never once thought he was slow or couldn’t move! He played fast and big when he got engaged with OL and when tackling running back. I can’t even remember last time he missed a tackle! I think we got a future starter at least maybe even an all pro!
Trotter getting drafted by us is destiny nothing more nothing less, jr earned his opportunity to be here, dont let the media turn this moment sour with thier nonsense
Do you have a favorite UDFA signing yet?
Congratulations on your wedding coming up
happy wedding days brodi appreciate all the eagles coverage 🎉
I really like Gabe Hall and Andre Sam they look like real players who have a real shot at making the roster!
I don't have a favorite udfa yet. congrats on your wedding almost here
You pronounced it wrong, it’s DeJawn not Dejean
Patrick Queen is also 6’0 and 229 pounds so complaining about trotter height and weight is straight BS. Dre Geeenlaw is also 6’0. I think trotter will be just fine and will ball out.
Good point but his lack of speed is what I’m worried about
I agree❤
@@jeremyglasser-hyman2846what do you mean slow? He’s faster than you think.

He can't cover at all. He's a 1st & 2nd down LB at best.

I read we signed John Ross to tryout contract .
Congrats on the wedding happy for you and your fiance
we shoulda got braelon allen -.-
I wanna win jersey

Agreed! 1000% Bradberry last yr was tough to watch u had defense players in the playoffs playing flag football and refusing to tackle anyone
Cj not afraid to hit
I think McCallen Castles, TE Tennessee is the most interesting to me. He looks like he has the tools and the track record to develop into a valuable weapon for the Birds. We know all to well how important solid TE’s are to the success of a high powered offense in both the run game and the passing game.
Gotta love when even defenders like Cooper Dejean pull up that Jalen Hurts is the first person followed by Nick to greet them at the Nova Care.
He’s 6 foot 229 lb he’s not that small he can put on some muscle pretty quickly if needed
most rookies generally lose weight their first year due to training camp. He'll lose weight before he gains any during the season.
Jeffrey Laurie > Jerry Jones
Jerry don't play that $hit. He will let you know what It is if you don't produce. Jerry just cares about the lime light
Trotter in the fifth? STEAL
Nah I don't think so but we'll see
More like his projection
@@roadrunner7441 Trotter may not me that good but he was projected late 2nd to mid 3rd. And in the fifth.
@@roadrunner7441 he produced at a high level at an SEC school... ofc its too early to know but im betting he'll be fine in the NFL

"Could" be... may not work.
A major component in NFL success is a family feel and strong locker room. Love the Birds!
Dude spent a 5th round pick… and we can use a LB… it’s a good story, if his last name was any other and had the same production at Clemson, it wouldn’t be a story.
Drafting the leading tackler in SEC who also had 5.5 sacks and 2 pick 6’s as a LB in the 5th wouldn’t be a story?
@@Byronic19134He didn't play in the SEC.
@@Byronic19134 not in a negative way, no… No one would question the pick is his last name was new to the City. It’d be a story for the player, not a storyline for the team.
I don’t think people give enough credit to how good of a human being Jeffrey Laurie is… I thinks that’s why so many players want to play here
Great show Day 2 of asking Thomas to give me tickets to a game
Yo, Howie, my great grandfather played two games for the Iggles many decades ago. So now that I meet the political requirement, where's my contract to be the back-up long snapper?
Congrats on your upcoming wedding my man, hope it's the best day of your life, it was for me!! I've been subbed since the beginning but I'm hoping you reach your goal as it's well deserved and I think this channel is underrated!! Go Birds

I really did not think we could draft a player worse then Dean at linebacker, but we did. Trotter Jr. is garbage, stop the stupidity.
Some must have forgot about an undersized center they said would never make it by the name of Jason Kelcee. It's not the size of a player that matters but the heart, drive and talent of a player that matters.
There’s no phrase in sports more overused than *”AT THE END OF THE DAY”* - FYI: it doesn’t make you sound intelligent, but I still love my *HOWIE* !!!
Congratulations on getting married Thomas!
Fangios defense is perfect for Trotter skill set NFL is full of undersized LBs league not the same no more.
I'm a big fan of eagles 2024 season better 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 Eagles draft good A I lost my family member
Lol anyone critiquing the eagles right now is corny as fuck. The dan sileo's of this world. This draft was excellent.
Congratulations in advance on your upcoming Wedding!
I love the Trotter pick!
Vic Fangio Is Going To Have Fun With This Eagles Defense
Dam Jeffrey and Howie were showing some true emotions talking with Trot jr
I think Trotter Jr ends up as a cover backer and special team gunner and helps the team out.
On the Trotter topic, I'm not sure why people keep saying he's "undersized" for the position but were excited about a 5'11 235 Dean🤔
Look at some of the best in the league today, Oluokon - 6'2 230, Z. Franklin - 6' 235 just to name a couple. It's the direction the league is going in and guys his size ARE producing
Congratulations Thomas!
We got Trotter in the 5th lol it was a great pick up
Second fastest****
Eagles - players with Dream Chasers tattoos on their Bicep 🤝
John Ross 🦅🤔🦅 wanted him like 5 yrs ago lol 👀
man, I'd love a Jersey!!
Fantastic work, really enjoyed. Congrats on your wedding. Wife and I celebrate 54 years this years.
Fasted WR literally got Drafted. SO idk how we brough in the FASTEST WR
UDFA Anim Dankwah will make this team. He's a BEAST regardless of going to a HBCU
Anim Dankwah… Future RT of the Philadelphia eagles. Stoutland University is about to strike again
Hey Thomas, All the Best for your upcoming nuptials. Wishing you and the soon to be Mrs. Mott Good Health, Wealth and Happiness for you and your Family.
We got him in the 5th round!! That’s perfectly fine. I question the 3rd round pick.
Hey Thomas, I’ve been with u since u we’re with the other platform, I’ll take a Cooper Dejean 2x black 😁
What’s wrong with picking someone for the fans? Shouldn’t you do the things the teams fans want?
I think Stoutland can work similar magic with Dankwah like he did with Mailata . Good UDFA move.
in HOWIE we trust, FLY EAGLES FLY, GO BIRDS!!!!!!!

Thanks for always bringing the content Thomas. And hope your wedding is great man. Go Birds
* Now hear me out, hear me out! *
In my own opinion, if the Eagles can somehow bring back Agent Zero “D’Andre Swift,” the Birds could have a powerful dynasty for years to come!
Saquon Barkley (RB1), Kenneth Gainwell (RB2/3), D’Andre Swift (RB2/3), and newly drafted Will Shipley (practice squad-awaiting elevated status).
Tell me I’m wrong!
Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ he is our only hope, just repent and have child like humble faith God bless!!!!!!!!!
I am only sold on Trotter and Mitchell...I personally think Shipley could of been either Bucky Irving or Cody Shrader but we shall see
in HOWIE we trust, FLY EAGLES FLY, GO BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!
Half the draft was ass and half was excellent. Trotter=ass, Shipley=👎🏽, Hunt=WTF! Yall should keep it real. I call balls and strikes like an umpire and I don't know what Howie was thinking in those 3 picks.
with what we have at linebacker, there is absolutely NO reason not to bring him in. So he is undersized, he was also a quality linebacker. We have HOT TRASH at that position.
Do a raffle for the ones who’ve been subed!!!! Please a dual raffle would be cool congrats on getting married!!!
Trot will be a starter in 2nd season. Run stopping machine. 2 down linebacker, like most in today's NFL. Loved all the picks, wait until the fans see shipley. He may just be more fun to watch then Barkley.
If you are disappointed with the Trotter pick, explain what you expect from a 5th round pick.
Anyone who talks negatively of Trotter, Jr., is on drugs ... He is an outstanding athlete, and that's what Fangio wants ...

PS: A very good running back room would be Barkley, Gainwell, Shipley, and Milton ...
Why do people keep forgetting in London Fletcher was undersize but he was a great tackling let's go Jeremiah trotter Junior
I wanted them to pickup Ross last year. I got 200+ yards from the slot with Ross running slants.
Jeffrey lurie and Howie are legends
Good luck to you and your wife. I've been married for almost 26 years and hopefully you will be too.
Isn't Ross like an older Quez though? Legs like a gazelle, but hands of stone? Speed isn't much without separation and being able to catch the ball.
G enjoy your wedding! Congratulations!!! Please enjoy and be in the moment, we’ll be fine without you for a while, as you enjoy this once in a lifetime moment!
They got some BIG bodies added to the oline group. We’ll see if they can graduate Stoutland U
Philly is tough to play in... if he doesn't live up to some seriously big expectations this city will rip him apart!!!
I think some of you fans that think they just drafted becuase hes Jeremiah Trotters son and is a huge stretch.
To be able to be taught growing from the legendary Jeremiah Trotter all thay needs to be said. Now hes an Eagle just like his father. Wild!! His father was a freaking beast during his career. Hes easily my favorite Eagles LB/DE of all time.
I think ross should transition to CB...make use of his speed there...coz he doesn't catch the ball well and does not run routes well..
Yeahhh we def need some taller linebackers bc they're gonna get picked off by TDs all day, unlessss they're quick enough and have an eye on the ball I guess?
1st of all congrats on your wedding and I love the Trotter pick I believe he’s going to do as good or better then his dad . Mitchell is my favorite pick still though and will be buying his Jersey n Trotter’s as well can’t wait .
Keep John Ross AWAY FROM KANSAS CITY! BY ANY MEANS!!
People need to relax. Even if part of the Trott pick is legacy, the draft position makes it just fine. It's not like he wasn't a force on the field.
I need a new Mitchell jersey for sure! Birds are gonna dominate!!!
Who picked that Disney channel ass song for DeJawn?
Man this is my first time ever commenting about coach but man... I wish he sounded a little more pumped for the guys and talked a little better on the phone like some of the other coaches. He just sounds like some guy on the phone lol
It seems like Jeffrey was about to break down when he mentioned Trotter Jr. Mom😢
Philly needed to bring in S beau brade from maryland dude can hit but ravens picked him up
He was ranked in the top 100 by most sources and a top 3 ILB so people hating just to hate
I’ve been subscribed for a long time and I want that jersey
5th round picks hardly ever make the roster . Who cares we used a 5 on him why is anybody mad . Its not like we used a 2 or 3 on him
Trotter jr is a great pick and the steal of the draft go watch his game film I had him number two behind cooper go birds 🦅
Thomas your days of freedom are numbered! LOL! In all seriousness congratulations on your new journey together!
Congrats on your upcoming wedding and best wishes! Go Birds!
I’m glad to see our new rookies can actually tackle.🤘🏻
Y’all still on the Justin Simmons train or over it since the draft?
People that don’t like Trotter never watch him play! As Clemson fan I watch every game he played in college. He was the leader of top ranking defense.

Go birds!
Did that coach just slap Howies ass in the beginning ???
please get john ross out of philly, no need to have a guy who will only hurt our lockeroom we dont need it
I love trotter but gives me a little dean feels but I hope I am wrong .
Make it a custom DEJAWN jersey
Just imagine Howie’s wife out there in pads gettin her Ray Lewis on lol
Trotter getting drafted by us is destiny nothing more nothing less, jr earned his opportunity to be here, dont let the media turn this moment sour with thier nonsense
fastest WR ever is Xavier Worthy stop false advertising
