Sproles, Peters, Foles, Long, McCloed. Money wouldn't be the issue. Him being a Prima Donna head ache would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, the depth takes a hit but I don't think it hurts much unless another starter gets hurt. He hasn’t stunk this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAConrad Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Why do people think we can just "move Mills to safety"? As if its so easy as just snapping your fingers and moving him to an entirely new position with different responsibilities. McLeod has been the recipient of a lot of (mostly) unwarranted hate from Eagles fans on here and everywhere. No clue why. Hes no Jenkins, but hes a very good player at his position and hes been a staple of that secondary. Losing him is going to really hurt. Itll show on the field often. I give it about a week until theres a panic thread about who we can get at safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoUpTwoDown Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Why is he "out for the year"? Isn't MCL only like a 4 week injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we asked about McLeod before he got hurt, I'm sure many would be like "he sucks" or is "below average." This is a good lesson... the grass ain't always greener. Sometimes you need average players who do their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlesthought Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 So they had Maddox playing safety ahead of Deiondre Hall and possibly Douglas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham filled in for McLeod yesterday. And for all of you who constantly bashed McLeod this past year plus.....I point to this game and sadly walk away. McLeod being out hurt us a ton. Tennessee took advantage of a slower, older Graham yesterday and it resulted directly in at a lot of the big or crucial plays we gave up. I always found it insane that Id see posters on here clamoring for Howie to cut McLeod. Hes a 26 or so year old safety who is reliable and above average for the most part, sometimes even great. Evidence of how McLeod is quietly a crucial player on our D is yesterdays game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phire Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Some in the media are stroking Maddox. Yeah, he had the pick (that Mariota threw right to him) but aside from that, he wasn't that good, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrelated, What is the point of Rasul Douglas? Why is he on the team? We play Maddox over this guy at safety. He can't overtake Mills at cb. What exactly is the point of a Rasul Douglas?

He seems to not do bad whenever he plays. He even looks good occasionally. And he's usually on a #1 wr when he gets his 4 snaps. Yet, he never plays... I don't get it. Mills and Maddox must let Schwartz bang their gf's or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
