ianlewis16 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'm a lot more comfortable with letting Bradham go now than I was 2 months ago. As others have said Peters is a HOF tackle still playing at that level. I don't see why we cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if this is a future hot take, I just don't see it. Nobody respects Big V, I've been the only one who's supported him strong.

Far more often than not players come back from knee injuries as good as they were before. The fact his body is 36 years old has nothing to do with it. Everyones different and he looked like a 26 year old last year so I have no reason to suspect he wont again. If he sucks then we've got big V. Great situation.

Daimonas Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I feel like people forget how many times Jason Peters has come back from a major injury just as good or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMH I think Big V has garnered respect. He certainly improved in year 2, but his balance may always be an issue. Like he gets bull rushed back into the QB a lot and still will have trouble against speed rushers. Also, look at this Cosell quote I posted on the first page of this thread.

But, they were able to with their scheme and their tactics to camouflage that a bit." - Greg Cosell on the Eagles Eye In The Sky Podcast with Fran Duffy I'm not sure how much help we gave Vaitai, but we definitely simplified reads with Foles a bit and he therefore got the ball out quicker. Our o-line with Peters could give Wentz a ton of time back there. Not sure that's the case with Big V. Don't get me wrong I'm still a fan of Vaitai, but think of him more as our swing tackle which is an important depth piece as we saw this year. Not many teams have two competent tackles.... let alone three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, dude is a freak. I'm not doubting him. I also think he deserves a chance to come back after all the years he's done for our team. Would be pretty mad if we kicked him to the curb before letting him get closer to fully healed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Unless Peters retires, cutting or trading opens up very little cap room, so no real incentive to get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Peters should be our starter going into camp until he proves he has fallen off. Dude was the best OT in the NFL when he got hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The London game is gonna be Jaguars and Eagles. What a great match-up for all the British Eagles fans to go see. Will be Ajayi's 3rd game back home in London as a pro in 4 seasons. He previously played there as a rookie against the Jets as a rookie and last year against the Saints. Not looking forward to having to wake up super early as someone on the west coast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjapirate Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I wonder if Howie will be looking for in the draft guys that can contribute in some capacity right away(seemed like this was the case last year) or would he do the andy reid thing and try to fill future needs. If Peters comes back and Vaitai is your swing guy I don't think it makes any sense for a team trying to win it all again to take an OL in the first round.

I mean look at your defense both ends were getting chipped regularly all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
