Peters-Seumalo-Kelce-Pryor-Johnson is probably our best 5 anyways tbh. It hurts from a depth perspective, but this isn't as huge of a blow as some will make it out to be.

Howie, please give someone else the drafting power lol It's too early to say that, plus our early returns from this draft look pretty good. Not to mention Dillard was also on Joe Douglas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, only a depth thing for me. The starting 5 got better from this imo. Now watch the media blow it out of proportion. It's a biceps tear, not exactly something to be concerned about moving forward. Though he does need all the reps he can get. Overall makes us better this year, but a slight concern moving forward, nothing crazy though, he'll be back same as ever.

Knew Dillard would take his lumps, but would've liked to see him improve as the season went along and build some confidence and be ready to be rock solid in year 3, so this still sucks. Hopefully he comes back like a man on a mission next year as JJAW did this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Dillard isn't a bust cause he got injured lol. It is an unfortunate loss and will really hurt our depth when Peters inevitably gets hurt, but this is far from sky is falling territory. Our offense will survive as long as our young weapons can show up and make plays for Carson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oland11 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Didn't JP play through a torn bicep a couple years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oland11 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Also everyone is saying this is a bust. Dude had an unforeseen injury that should not cause him issues down the line like a knee injury would for example. You are all so quick to pull the plug on a player. I liked what I saw of him at LT last year. We all knew he had to work on certain things because of his weight/size coming out of college. From everything seen from camp it appears he was working on those things. Once again you all seem to forget we have been spoiled at LT since Tra Thomas came into the league. We aren't going to see an all pro LT over night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 You guys give up on players way too easily. This kid deserves his shot next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBreezy Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 It was definitely a reactive statement, but c'mon. We moved up to pick this kid, and two years in he still hasn't really seen the field. You're correct Nabbs in that you can't predict injuries - it's really unfortunate what happened. I feel bad for Dillard. It's just frusturating that we still don't know what he can bring to the table. It'll be year three next year and he'll be coming off a serious injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a head, shoulder, back, neck, hip, foot, or knee then I'd be concerned. Any major joint stuff I wouldn't mess with. A tear of a muscle belly? Nothing long term or recurring there. He'll be 100% so far before OTAs and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Dillard really seems like a bust to me based on TC reports and his 2019 play, so not that disappointed in terms of how much this hurts our 2020 (but it will extend process of confirming bust, which is not ideal). Old man JP will do a better job back at LT. Throw Pryor in there, see what we’ve got/any improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
