God that'd be so chargers. I still cant believe they got him at 17. So much value, he'd be my 7th or 8th best player in the draft.

Eagles rest of the draft was really good. David Akers roasting the Dallas fans in their own building whilst announcing the pick of DALLAS Goedart, a pick before Dallas intended to take him and the day Witten decided to retire is like 4D chess of trolling.
Amazing.

Sweat is a steal later on and the two project tackles including the Aussie monster is a good haul... add in Sidney Jones, Jay Ajayi and Ronald Darby and that's quite a haul.

If god is indeed an eagles fan, they'll follow your lead and leave Collins at RT to go **** BBQ'd on the regular and put a guy lacking lateral quickness in the interior for Fletcher Cox to go to work on.

That'd suit me nicely.
They should absolutely switch that up if the Clapper knows what's good for him.

Also the Cowboys traded for Tavon Austin... that's their #1 guy.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Best of luck with your project, Dak.

Yep, ballsy by Akers. He was my #1 TE. So annoying. But i still like the Schultz pick. Pity he doesn't get to sit behind Wittz though.

Yeah a ballsy trade but a draft for a much needed defence - we may lost Bryant but the boys are now a running first team with Austin behind Hurns
as WR 1 - not a bad draft. Eagles he team to beat though, tickets cost $490US each at home in Dallas v Giants, can’t wait!!

By all accounts he nailed his interview and practice gig. I can totally see him having a similar 1st yr to Romo.

Wentz should be top 5 on any QB list.
Right now he's top 3
Next 5 years given his age, he's top 1
Next 10 years given his age, he's top 1

If he stays healthy, he's going to be the best QB in the league.

Some preliminary thoughts:

Firstly...
- Eagles 2nd string DL is Chris Long, Michael Bennett, Haloti Ngata and Destiny Veaeo...Best of luck with that.

Pre Season week 1:

- Firstly it's preseason so all with a grain of salt... for the eagles:
- Dallas Goedert looks the business. Gets open easily, fits seamlessly into the offence. A lot of Ertz about him.
- The back ups for the Eagles beyond Foles aren't very good. But the defence is going to be a problem, they dominated the first two series, and Fletcher Cox might be a DPOTY candidate.
- Aussie Mallia playing his first game of American football ever had some struggles early but i thought came into the game nicely and showed the athletic traits that have the Eagles very excited about his potential. The Eagles need to get this guy on the the PS and develop him for a year, he struggles with some of the moves good pass rushers can put on but when he gets his hands on you, he's tough to move. Lot of potential here.

Others things stood out to me based on limited condensed views and highlights:
- Barkley's first run for a 40 yard rip which showed EVERYTHING you want in a RB. Patience, agility, the cut and then break away speed. He's going to be good. Real good.
- Sticking in the division Guice looked pretty solid too before his injury, hopefully its not too serious.
- Prescott to Gallop looks like a connection that could develop into something, it'll need to as well.
- Moore for the Panthers looks like he's got the skills to be the real deal.
- the bears offence might actually be watchable this year, really liked the formations they used and creativity they showed
- Davante Adams is going to have a monster year
- Baker Mayfield looks like he moves well in the pocket and can throw darts. Calloway and Njoku for the browns looked VERY impressive, i think those three you can build an offence around
- Lamar Jackson flashed some of those gorgeous throws and incredible running talent he's got, but Joe Flacco looked LOCKED in. He might not see the field.

I was impressed with Jaylon Smith's speed. He looks lightening fast this yr. So, with Joe Thomas taking plenty of reps in this game and getting 2 picks, looks like our 4 LBs are going to be play makers.

Lenior looks a really dogged WR, that gets open, i hope we hold him.

Scarbrough will push for reps this yr at RB, but gonna be tough going with Zeke and Smith ahead of him.

Our 2ndry looks poor. Gotta sort that **** out ASAP

Brutal injury for the Washington professional football team.
They were going to make running Guice a feature of that offence and he was perfectly suited as a one cut runner behind it.

I dont, because australia arent really about that this, but you better believe i support those players
It's a damn shame the Dak is forced (and i mean forced, no one for one second believes he's about that no protest ****) into being an uncle tom because of his **** owner.

Jenkins said it best, as he always does. This is a dude who has spoken to congress about sentencing and bail reform. As intelligent and woke as any athlete.

"I think it's good that they are finally talking to players about it, but we'll see. While you have the NFL office trying to meet with the NFLPA, simultaneously you have Jerry Jones speaking about how not only is he going to ignore the policy of allowing players to go in [to the locker room during the anthem], that everybody has to come out,"
Jenkins said.

"I think it's unfortunate that you have owners like him that use his position to intimidate and intentionally thwart even the idea of his players thinking individually or having a voice about issues that affect their communities daily, which is unfortunate. But for them, hopefully you'll have guys challenge that and they'll have my full support."

The eagles proved last year you can have a social conscience and win a SB. Jerry Jones continues to prove he views his players the same way as plantation owners viewed slaves. Jerry Jones is ready to CUT dudes who kneel for racial inequality, but paid Greg **** Hardy 14 million dollars.

Dan **** Snyder is some how worse than him. **** them both. I hope they both die in a fire.
Lurie isnt perfect, you dont get to be billion without being a ****, but im glad to know the owner of my franchise isnt a racist ****.

the owner just came out and said if you protest racial inequality, you wont play for the Cowboys.


Whatever i thought, i'd kneel the **** out of that **** until they cut me... either you expose this **** for the Bull dog whistler he is, or he actually DOES cut you and you hit FA and get the money you deserve.

If im Dak, i 100000% kneel until the owner cuts my **** and i cash in some 50m gtd deal

Eagles had their QB, LT, top 2 WRs and top 3 RBs out
Also it seems the three takeaways from this game were:

1. Nick Foles has officially turned back into a pumpkin, thanks for the ring Big Dick, but lets get Carson back asap

2a. Myles Garrett is going to be a major problem for the NFL going forward
2b. Perhaps a little inflated due to the fact that Big V looks DREADFUL.

Come week 1 i think we'll see Jeffery, Agholar, Ajayi, Clement, Sproles, Peters and maybe even Wentz back... that's a totally different unit.

Yeah Garrett was out there wrecking shop, granted a lot of it came a Big V (Halapoulivaati Vaitai) who stepped in for Jason Peters last year and was **** LIGHTS out down the stretch at LT.

Much like Foles, he's looked horrible this pre season and Garrett absolutely man handled him. It was an ugly scene

Vaitai, got it. He is better than Chaz Green. Green gave up 6 sacks to Adrian Clayborn in one game last yr filling in for Smith. Losing your left tackle is never good :nooo

Along the same lines, looks like we have lost Friedrick long term, if not forever with a rare autoimmune disease. ****!
