Danger Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Couple of things of note (not official BUT it is something) Greg Ward still starting over Fulgham Jordan Howard listed as #2 RB Milton Williams at DT Sweat/Barnett Co-Starters Rodney McLeod still injured. K'Von Wallace listed as the starter in his place. Zech McPherson the next man up at CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Curios to see if the playtime will reflect what's shown there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Love seeing a GDT, love seeing Zech as CB3. Fulgham needs to be with the 1's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadway Joe Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Always thought Safety was a way bigger need that it was made out. Didn´t think McLeod was going to be ready for the season and it very well may be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looked good moving around out there even though he's not practicing with the team yet. Sucks we lost K'Von for a bit to an injury. I'd like to have better depth at safety, but it is what it is at this point. Kinda wish we took one late (Stevens we selected to be a LB) or picked up one of the top ones that went undrafted.

Ugh, this team is going to suck so much this year. Wish we would be a normal team that values all positions, not just trenches, QBs and WR. The neglect of S and LB under Howie should be a fireable offense alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they are the least valuable positions, but yeah shouldn't neglect any position in the draft. Should at least try at some point earlier in the draft though. He hasn't really ignored safety though overall considering he brought in Jenkins and McLeod. I thought Anthony Harris was a solid cheaper 1 year add too. In the draft he did address safety early on in his tenure. His first 2 years he took a safety in round 2. Problem is he missed on both Nate Allen and Jaiquawn Jarrett.

EaglesPeteC Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I actually think Wilson and Singleton will be a reasonably good LB duo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can be okay, but idk about good. Just being average at least would be better than last year when we were playing Nate Gerry and Duke Riley a good amount lol. Quote 29. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES The Eagles' linebackers were historically bad last season, seemingly attacked and exposed in coverage on a weekly basis. Passes targeting Philadelphia linebackers generated a 113.9 passer rating and were open targets 66.1% of the time — both far from ideal figures. The team brought in Eric Wilson from the Vikings and returns T.J. Edwards, the best-graded member of the starters last year. This group could still use some help, but it likely won’t be coming until next offseason. This is where PFF had them us in an article last week.

EagleBlueDon Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 National types are really down on just about every unit on the team it seems. Little too much group-think and following imo but we'll see. I think we're more talented than being given credit for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the combination of the system and the upgrade of Wilson will make it a pretty decent pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson graded out lower for PFF than Duke Riley, TJ Edwards and Alex Singleton last year FWIW. Only Eagles LB he graded out better than last year was Nate Gerry. He does bring pass coverage chops that our unit was missing. TJ and Alex aren't gonna be that guy really. Their strength is playing the run. We'll see I guess. What is this about system that makes you think it will improve the LBs? We don't even know much about what Gannon is running. I could see it more if you said corner cause I think Gannon isn't gonna leave corners on islands like Schwartz did.

Could our unit be a little better than 29th like say 25th or something? I could see that maybe, but I don't think they are gonna be top 20 or anything.
