TheRealMcCoy Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Dillard for his own sake should be on another roster starting, but the question is are the Eagles really comfortable with their back-up tackles without him? I’m curious what round pick would get Howie to pull the trigger? I’m not sure he would do it for less than a 2nd, but I could be wrong.

If you aren’t getting something significant you just keep him and get that comp pick later. Tackle depth is too valuable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjapirate Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 So Cam Jurgens is really good at football. Dillard also looks like he has come around into a really good player. But if the colts don't want to send us a second for him just keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folesadelphia Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I'm glad the Eagles are smart enough not to play their starters very much in the preseason. They get plenty of reps during joint practices. No reason to risk a key player's health. Also, It's always so funny to hear people overreact (whether good or bad) to preseason performances.

Jeezla Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Could Jalen Hurts have made Sinnett's TD throw to Allen? 60 air yards on the dot, and not a ton of arc. Now I want to see Sinnett and Strong have a deep ball competition. (obviously I personally don't think Hurts could have made that throw. I'd say 7 out of every 8 starting QB's can make that throw.) I think Sinnett could have thrown it through the goal posts from his own 40 if he wanted to show off his arm. That was impressive timing to hit a guy that fast in stride. I don't think I ever saw D Jax get to catch a ball like that while running that fast, he always had to slow down at least a tiny bit. I'm hoping Hurts can be that accurate when he does his 45 yard versions to Slim Reaper, AJ, Goedert, and Quez.

Not what you said. 39 minutes ago, Jeezla said: I'd say 7 out of every 8 starting QB's can make that throw.) Simple math with 32 teams leaves only 3 other potential QB with Hurts. If you're analysis was actually correct. Which it's not. https://www.inquirer.com/eagles/eagles-jalen-hurts-nfl-draft-class-stats-speed-tracking-senior-bowl-20200511.html Quote Jalen Hurts The most surprising data on Hurts comes with the ball-tracking figures recorded. Among all quarterbacks at the Senior Bowl, Hurts had the best average initial air speed, which measures the speed of the ball coming out of his hands on the first two days of practice. He also had the highest average ball speed, average distance, and recorded the longest pass during the week. Most scouting reports suggest Hurts’ arm strength is adequate, but few would suggest the Oklahoma quarterback’s arm talent is elite. Still, his 47.5 mph average was the fastest recorded at the Senior Bowl in the last two years when tracking was available. Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert, often praised for his arm strength, was clocked at 43.1 mph. Edited August 23, 2022 by Nabbs4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jroc04 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 2 hours ago, Broadway Joe said: Why are you so fixed into defending Hurts? It’s his hill. He will defend it until he dies. Everyone wants Hurts to succeed. Nabbs has been watching football a long damn time. If he can’t see that Hurts’ arm is, in the very least, below average, than I don’t know if he can trust his eyes anymore. All of Hurts’ deficiencies can be led back to arm strength. If you can’t trust your arm then you can’t make the throws NFL QBs routinely make to further field position and ultimately win ball games. It’s simple. Hurts will continue to abandon the pocket early, hold onto the ball too long and settle for 2 yard scrambles instead of pushing ball upfield because he can’t or won’t make the throws that are potentially dangerous. Good QBs make those throws and succeed because they have the ability and the confidence. Hurts lacks one, the other or both. He hasn’t shown that yet. He will this year or be on another team in 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
