nlesthought Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 9 hours ago, WindyCity said: I am not sure, but it has never been his strong suit. The numbers for his first 2 years are a little misleading. Our offense was horrible, our team was brutal. Jordan Howard is a very good outside zone runner. John Fox for his first 2 years ran outside zone left, outside zone right, outside zone over and over again. There was a game where we threw 7 passes. Howard's numbers were big and we scored 14 points a game and went 8-24 with the least creative and dynamic offense ever. I have faith in him being a value for the Eagles, because you gave up little, and Pederson has shown he can really us a RBBC approach and limit a guy like Howard's exposure in situations he won't be successful. I’m sure he can run our many variations of trap. Straight downhill. The fact he was sent to a playoff team for peanuts he will likely have a little extrea encouragement this season. Add contract year. Barring injury (knock MF knock) I expect a good season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cohen was obviously your splash play back which maybe contributed him to being just a 2 down RB but the few times I actually watched him he was very underwhelming. But, as I said, if he’s just an average back (4.2 ypc), he’ll be fine in this offense. Howie needs to get us a dynamic 3rd down back still. yeah a solid chance we'll end up with the 3rd, two 4's and a 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianlewis16 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I refuse to get excited over this. We don't pound the rock 35 times a game, 20-25 with one player, which is as far as I'm aware, when Howard had his success. I'm sitting over here cautiously optimistic, hoping to be pleasantly surprised. I see this as most likely another 1 year rental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishHooligan00 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Yall think we get 1 or 2 years out of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's perfect for the ajayi/blount role. Bears fans are being alil rough on the kid. He reminds me of what most of us want in a RB.

I only real hope is that Wiz gets a decent contact from someone. Otherwise, looks like the other guys will just get one year, prove it deals. Ajayi, Wallace, Jernigan. Still, would like to bring Timmy back and draft a DT 1st or 2nd round. That would set the middle up extremely well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also though he was 2 years older lol, 24 Years old, makes it an even better steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 24 years old is sweet. Could end up here longterm or maybe get a good comp pick for him if he plays well and leaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastercheddaar Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 People blasting this trade, it was for a 6th round pick. Most 6th rounders do not make the squad. I'm sure Howard will be at least in the RB rotation. It was a good deal. Go Birds Master "The Haul" Cheddaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles18 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 im book marking this thread for all of your ungrateful reactions to this amazing trade.Total yards he's 3rd in the past three years behind zeke and gurley and we got him for a conditional 6th!

eagles18 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I bet we still take a running back.. this is to clear any smoke screens with josh jacobs. We run a RBBC. everyone getting touches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles18 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 regardless of his decline (can 3 seasons of consecutive 900 yard seasons be considered a decline?), the man has talent to succeed in the NFL Quote The Bears might miss Howard, who set the franchise's rookie rushing record with 1,313 yards in 2016. The back also reached 2,000 rushing yards faster (24 games) than Walter Payton and Gale Sayers. Since entering the league, Howard has the third-most rushing yards of any running back in the league (3,370), just behind Ezekiel Elliott (4,048) and Todd Gurley (3,441).

TwoUpTwoDown Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Yeah we basically gave up nothing so there is literally no downside. Might get a comp pick for him equivalent to what we gave up best case scenario. Solid trade for us. Our rotation was below average last season for sure.
