Priceless or "Pricey"? I think a bit of it takes years to know our playbook is way overblown. Obviously you don’t want a room full of rookies, But Vets that have been around, it doesn’t take long. What you don’t want is a room full of guys that are both learning the playbook and also getting acclimated to the position in the pros.

mayanfootball Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Key to the GAME: KC Chiefs Oline play. There will be some obvious advantages on the edge against the Chiefs, who've received inconsistent play from offensive tackles Orlando Brown and Andrew Wylie. It will be critical for the Eagles to exploit those matchups whenever possible. https://www.nfl.com/news/the-first-read-super-bowl-lvii-six-factors-that-could-determine-nfl-s-biggest-ga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just really hope that ankle is better and whatever bare bones WR core we have shows up like last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefs_5627 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 As much as I despise Wylie I don't think now's the time to mess with chemistry and the overall game plan being implemented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t mess with the continuity. Niang will be the primary backup OT as he has been since returning. Next year though is a different story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGold Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Niang has shown nothing up to this point. Why would we change now? Sure give him a chance next year, But honestly Wylie hasn’t been abysmal. Tbh you could say he has been one of the best value contacts on our team. Not that I want him starting next year though.

onejayhawk Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 That's not true. Niang has consistently beat out Wylie whenever he was healthy. He is also a wildcard in this situation. I doubt anyone on the Eagles will prep for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point in his career, (he doesn't really have one yet), I don't trust Niang to be anything more than emergency backup. And that's more trust than i'm really wanting to give him.

RedGold Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I mean I even like Niang quite a bit, but I’m pretty sure the Eagles could care less if Wylie or Niang is there and would gameplan the same for both. Dude has started 9 games in 3 years. Yes he has potential and I’m sure he will get the chance to lock down a spot next year. But there’s no reason to disrupt continuity, Wylie hasn’t been good.. but he also hasn’t been totally bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What in Andy Reid’s history would lead you to believe that he’d shuffle around the OL on the last game of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
