Carmen Cygni Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 This is the second trade in recent years in which the Eagles fleeced the Dolphins. Miami is being Tannenbombed and duped by Gase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not call it what it is, a good trade for both sides. Not true. Maxwell is awful (and now gone), Alonso is a below average liability on defense, and so far Tunsil is struggling mightily at tackle (though that could be pinpointed to the Dolphins screwing around by putting him at guard his rookie year to appease Albert). The only reason Maxwell appeared to play well toward the end of '16 was b/c of the other glaring weaknesses along Miami's DB's so many teams chose weaker targets to pic on. We should have stayed with our top 10 pick in '16 or have gotten better value elsewhere for the #8 selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also add in the fact the Dolphins traded up for Dion Jordan so we wouldn't take him, which most likely we would have. Instead we got Lane Johnson.

Ajayi in Miami had to gain most of his yardage after contact which speaks to the struggles of the o-line. Anyways, I think this trade works out for both sides. You get a mid round pick for a guy you likely weren't keeping after next year and we get a guy who can at least give us a boost while we are in win now mode.

If so that would make our backups better than our starters.. they've been forced to start Jake Brendel, Jesse Davis, Sam Young at OL this past week. I don't think that's the case. 16 minutes ago, TheRealMcCoy said: Anyways, I think this trade works out for both sides.

The benefit to the Eagles is much more apparent. Even if the rumors about his knee are true (any Eagles fans notice his gait?), if he bolsters a SB run.. even a short-term rental (hypothetical) makes it worth it.

Eagles $5$ Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Well the Miami O-Line coach was on coke for the most part that Ajayi was there so you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle21121 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Ajayi' been great in limited carries. Hes fitting in well with a dynamic offense. I really do like Drake. He's not a lead back but he'll fit in nice I'm not sold on Williams but maybe he can be that other guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams is meh, but he's good depth. The Dolphins will draft a RB for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphins will draft a RB for sure. Drake is explosive like Williams / Ajayi are not; however it's obvious the coaches don't trust him. Williams is as vanilla of a RB that exists but it's his 4th year on the team, he's familiar with his assignments and is a reasonable blocker; he seems much more effective at catching the ball out of the backfield than running between the tackles to be honest (his big run this week was a massive hole which is a rarity in and of itself). He also plays about half the special teams snaps (so does Drake for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's the case. To be fair it's entirely possible. The Eagles started Isaac Seumalo at LG to begin the year. He was worse than his immediate backup, Chance Warmack. And Chance Warmack was worse than his backup, Stefan Wisniewski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lone star Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I wonder how much Kenyan Drake would be able to fetch now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
