Eagles sign veteran LBs Myles Jack, Zach Cunningham

Zach Cunningham used to be good… until he was suddenly not good. He’s good at making tackle after a seven yard gain or giving up a 13 yard reception. 

Last I remember, he never made any good plays - but he also made routine plays and didn’t necessarily give up big plays.

Myles Jack Nakobe Dean Haason Reddick

Is such a boom/bust trio that either sounds amazing or trash. Three first round prospects with fan clubs that either started slow or fell off fast... but imagine if they all played up to potential behind that crazy DL.

Cunningham is washed.  Jack probably is, but I didn't have to watch as much of him recently.

Jack was terrible last year.    Made zero splash plays last year.   Mediocre at best in every phase.

Might bounce back a bit, but he is a mid tier backup based on last year.   He was worse than Spillane, and he is meh too.

he flashed in a few games right after we acquired him midseason in 2021, but then was extremely bad (when he wasn’t injured) for all of 2022. seems washed

Has Jack made any splash plays in his entire NFL career?

 

 

He had one.  But he was incorrectly ruled down.  Other than that though...???

He was always more hype than an actual good player.   Talent was there to be better than he turned out, but never really manifested.    He had a couple decent years in Jacksonville, but seems like his career is tailspinning.    

If he cant find success in Philly with the talent they will have around him, he should probably just retire.

To be fair, Reddick has already played up to his potential the past few seasons. 

Yes it would be awesome if the other two could step up as well.

As a Jaguars fan, i am acutely aware of that.

 

The guy had his "best years" as basically the "3rd wheel" LBer.  He was never as good as Telvin Smith and Poz in their respective roles.  He was fine playing that shifting SAM/MLB role behind one of the most dominant DLines in recent years.  But never special whatsoever.  Rarely ever made splash plays or a serious impact.  He was just "fine" in an absolutely perfect situation.  People got way overhyped on that.
