2024 Eagles Thread

[s1uggo72]

I don't think Brown is ready. If I recall correctly, the bomb that Mahomes threw late in the Super Bowl (I think it was to Worthy), it was McCollum and Brown that were covering him, and neither of them did a good job on that. Both played a good bit on special teams in the Super Bowl, but I think each of them only played 2 snaps in the secondary -- I suspect that play brought an end to their playing.

the play in question...


I give Brown a pass on this play but not McCollum. It is also the first clean pocket Mahomes had that day, imo

if you watch this play, might want to bench #27 as well (tic) letting him run an out on the G/L!

Yeah, this one caught me by surprise as well. CJGJ wasn't perfect, but he was better than what they had on the roster. Unless they add somebody, the options on the roster to replace him are:

- Sydney Brown
- Tristin McCollum
- Lewis Cine

Neither Brown nor McCollum had done anything to show that they are close to being able to compete at CJGJ's level.

He was on a 3-year deal, so you wouldn't need to worry about re-signing him until after the 2025 season.

On the flip side, they let him him leave one time, and now have traded him. It makes one wonder if there is something going on behind the scenes/in the locker room that causes them to feel they are better off without him.

On the other side of the trade, Kenyon Green had a lot of potential coming out of college, but he's not been too impressive in the NFL. He missed 2023 due to a shoulder injury. He got benched half-way through season this past season.

I guess we'll learn more in the future, but this is a move I didn't see coming.

For me it's going to be reminding myself that Howie said at the beginning of the off season asking fans to be patient. They have a plan but it will take time to complete. Howie has been on a roll lately and I will trust what he is doing. Just have to sit back and wait... This may not be done until that start of camp in July.

Yeah, you only worry about the end of the race, not the start of it. Still, all the subtractions from the team do have the fans concerned (WIP is a mess to listen to).

1 thing I don't miss about living in PA is listening to WIP (don't stream it either) and all the negative Nellie's....

I swear in a game I watched, during the game, the moved Juice from C to his OG spot and brought in another C. Of all the people they could get for CJGJ you would think you could get better or at least a need say at LBer.

If Stoutland can work his magic again it will be incredible with what he did with Becton. That is a big IF I am very interested to see how he molds him....

Don’t know the salary number but this is the first one I really don’t like at all on the face of it
