Good special teams player but didnt seem to take a step forward to trust as a starting corner. No matter who we lined up outside, given JB's year it's going to be a downgrade. I'm not suggesting Zech would be some stud, but he had very little reps playing outside really because of that Duo. Both Slay and JB raved about him numerous times. Howie is always about drafting in the trenches DL/OL. Unless we trade for a CB, I doubt Howie takes one at #10. Unless it's the unquestioned BPA. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jroc04 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Read some comments JB made about weighing options about his next contract and he did say playing for a contender and a playoff resume is important to him. He doesn’t want to play for cheap but it’s important to him. Maybe Howie can put something together for him that’s reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still highly unlikely. It is Howie though so who knows? 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 If we could somehow keep JB I'd feel a hell of a lot better about our defense going forward, regardless of who becomes DC. I think keeping him is a distinct possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think keeping him is a distinct possibility. Would just be nice to not have to worry about so much. Pass rush and both CBs would be very good. Then we could focus on improving the middle on up with our resources along with a little depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I'm guessing there are at least 3 XFL punters that are better than our NFL punter. Just sign one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sometimes they come in and play well, but not as much as you’d like year one. Though it’s better than the past I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but doubtful JB is looking for something we can wiggle out of in one year. He’s only 29? Hes getting a long term deal from someone. I mean at this rate, the rookie could replace Slay in two years. JB could be the 3-4 year guy. Problem would be that he’s buried on the depth chart. He’d only get real looks in dime packages.

He’d only get real looks in dime packages. Just looked at Slay’s contract, that’ll get a rework or he’ll get the post June 1st. Would be a 12 mil swing this year. They could actually just get JB in by working in unison on Slay’s. But I’m sure Hargrave would probably be higher on their list for that money. Depends what scheme we are doing I suppose. Penetrating DT and strong boundary corners are flux positions, CB less so. But like Schwartz wasn’t as big on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Schedule is definitely tough next year, but outside of @ KC, none of the other away games are against particularly tough opponents. All the hard games are at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I could see them doing that as the 3rd thanksgiving game if Kelce is back. Milk that Kelce bowl stuff again. Then we’d play Thursday in Philly the week before or after.

All the hard games are at home. Every year we analyze the schedule and almost every year we’re wrong. Schedule doesn’t matter in February. If the Eagles can fill the holes on defense and stay healthy, they win 11-12 games next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
