I imagine a lot of Swift split out, so maybe that’s the reason for the limited WRs. A little worried we don’t have a RB that can eat carries that has some durability. The defense is mostly ok. I think it’s smart of Howie to cut Siposs so we can keep a fringe guy for the time being. There’s always 2-3 guys laying around that can punt as good as Siposs. No harm really cutting him. I expect some movement in the next week. Trade or signings. Nothing big though. That’s my two cents. You guys can breath now. The only thing I see here is that they use Big O and Calcaterra as big WR's initially. I mean, they'll line up as TE's, but those will be mostly receiving situations. "O" clearly can't block and that's why he was cut. "C" will be in there to catch and block in the screen game. This probably won't last more than three weeks before teams recognize personnel and formations. A cut or a trade probably happens then. Or, maybe "O" goes to Stoutland U for an advanced degree. Can you imagine if he could block? He's bigger than Stoll. Worth a risk. It is nice to have the luxury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperX22 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I mean 4 TE's seems weird, but we'll just have to wait and see what additional moves are made and how guys are deployed on game day. Wait and see time. Obviously moves need to be made when we don't have a punter or punt returner currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folesadelphia Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 A couple of things to keep in mind. One, just because they are carrying X amount of players in to the first 53 man roster does not mean they will keep it that way. There is still the waiver wire period where some moves could be made. Second, I'm pretty sure they view Albert as a "big slot" and not so much as a true tight end. He could possibly be who they want to fill Pascal's old role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Morrow was our starting LB Greedy was our no. 3 CB and who exactly was the starting S that we cut? K'Von Wallace? That entire premise is asinine. Greedy Williams and Nick Morrow (who were guaranteed $650k combined) didn't make the team? My God, what an indictment on the Eagles front office. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think you could do that with any other position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperX22 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Is this really where we are as a fan base? Do we really need to beat Howie up because he signed a couple guys near league minimum in hopes they might be cheap contributors didn't make the team? Or giving up on a mid-late Rd pick? There are about 30 teams and the league that would love to consider those their worst failures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaglesFlySBChampsHigh Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 @downundermikelooks like he did smash to me. Mostly everyone's pumped. The fact you're still grumpy is hilarious. Football season is here be happy 😂. If you just wanna argue for the 40th time just go on Twitter (X) or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
