Yeah the only knock I read on him was that he ends up on the ground on like 75% of his plays and Im not really sure what that means

Haven't heard that, but seems like he would have given up more than 0 sacks and hits and 4 pressures if true?
Baldy (PTTD) also called him his favorite OL in the draft, and specifically highlighted his ability to get to the second level and stick with his blocks, a description that on the face of it, sounds pretty much antithetical to being on the ground a lot?

@dpbrugler: Have to admire #LSU LT La'el Collins for selling out on each snap. But he ends up on the ground 75% of the time, constantly off-balanceFWIW that was from October and I don't think he was being literal.Haven't heard that, but seems like he would have given up more than 0 sacks and hits and 4 pressures if true?

ya he's obviously good. No way to spin it that it wasn't a home run pick. Nothing we can do now though.Haven't heard that, but seems like he would have given up more than 0 sacks and hits and 4 pressures if true?

I'm assuming Chip will address it next year when it's really an issue, and probably take 2 OL in the first 3 rounds.

Hoping Watkins works out at safety. I think they prefer Rowe at CB, although they'll probably move him to safety if he struggles.

@caplannfl: Former #Bears associate director of pro personnel Dwayne Joseph is expected to join #Eagles as director of pro personnel, source said.
@caplannfl: Bears tried hard to keep him, but he chose to seek a better opportunity elsewhere.
@caplannfl: Joseph and Eagles VP of player personnel Ed Marynowitz worked with the #Dolphins together for one season (in 2007).

When you post something just for a reaction, or to rub something in someone's faces, that's what that is. If we had been the first to host Collins, would any of us go to a cowboys thread, and post "His first meeting is with the eagles (big smiley face)".Not trying to start an argument but I don't see what was so trollish about what he posted?Was, yes.

When someone posts that they hope bradys ban is dropped a game, obviously implying its so our division rivals won't get a free win that week, what is the point of coming into your opponents team thread to put "Why???? Lol
". He knows why, and it's not adding anything to the conversation whatsoever besides trying to get under eagles fans skin. Again, would any of you go to a cowboys thread and make that comment just to rile them up or rub it in? Probably not.If a cowboys fan comes here to discuss, ask, talk about things, that is one thing. But yes his last two posts with smiles and winks were jabs, added nothing to discussion, and were sarcastic questions. It's like we can't mention anything about our rivals in this thread, without him having to jump in and say something snarky about it. He can do what he wants, but yes, it's trollish and pointless.

i like that Chip is willing to take chances, but i am a little worried about his approach to avoiding all players with possible character issues. not spending a late pick on a guy like Collins is something i can't understand. low risk, high reward and would have been great value at a relatively cheap contract for a few years. i heard today on sports radio (i.e. there is likely no factual information with this) that Jerry promised Collins LT spot next year when they let Free walk, and that is why Collins signed there because what he really wanted is a chance to start at LT. Chip couldn't promise that with Peters still hereDeamon said:ya he's obviously good. No way to spin it that it wasn't a home run pick. Nothing we can do now though.Bob Magaw said:Haven't heard that, but seems like he would have given up more than 0 sacks and hits and 4 pressures if true?

My hope is he wants to build the expectation and the personality of the team on all strong character guys so he can bring in guys with character concerns in 2 years or so when the locker room will be established with a few leaders.

Ya, watching the presser ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66GPfWmfnhE) I don't think it was just a promise at starting at LT. Seems like there was quite the bondage between these guys, and Collins seemed hell bent on playing in Dallas, and Jones and Garrett seem to act like he is a godsend. No way it was ONLY about playing LT.I think I suggested something similar in the Collins thread.i like that Chip is willing to take chances, but i am a little worried about his approach to avoiding all players with possible character issues. not spending a late pick on a guy like Collins is something i can't understand. low risk, high reward and would have been great value at a relatively cheap contract for a few years. i heard today on sports radio (i.e. there is likely no factual information with this) that Jerry promised Collins LT spot next year when they let Free walk, and that is why Collins signed there because what he really wanted is a chance to start at LT.

I don't know if this means anything, but yesterday single game tickets went on sale and I was able to get 6 pairs of tickets for 4 different games (pair for the Saints (plus a SRO), pair for the Dolphins, 2 pair for the Cardinals, 2 pair for Washington) just by going on at 10am and then checking back a few time throughout the day. Granted, all upper levels and I didn't even try for the Dallas, NYG or Bills games because I knew they would be the popular ones.
But then I saw this article.
Maybe just not enough people knew they went on sale yesterday

I do know and like a few of the Eagles guys and have joked a bit before. I usually post during offeseason, Dallas/Philly week and when there is news relative to both teams or if I feel I can add insight when you guys discuss the Cowboys like where I shared that Collins was not likely to replace Free, but instead Leary at LG.
Look, I get it. I am a Cowboys, as rivals our teams don't like each other and the same for some fans. However, for me, I don't feel the need to instantly hate an Eagle fan just because of their team. I just personally don't feel the need to look for trouble or start some stupid internet shouting match. It's ridiculous. We have a few eagle regulars in the Cowboys threads too and I appreciate their different points of view as long as it is respectful and doesn't get personal. Heck, I even welcome the outside view as some of my breathern are short sighted sometimes.
I didn't think my post was off side. You (Deamons) have obviously taken a dislike to me, or the fact I like a blue and silver team or you are assuming I have an agenda by being here, which I don't. I re-looked at what i posted and I don't see the big deal, maybe you should put me on ignore then.....
I am not leaving, but I certainly will try to montior sarcasm.How about some Football talk huh?
1) I think the Giants had a great draft and could make some noise, do you guys seeing them challenging our two teams for the East?
and
2) How many wins are guys projecting for yourselves this year?
dhockster
Footballguy
The Giants are such an anomaly with Coughlin and Eli. Other than those 2 runs in the playoffs to win super bowls they really haven't been that great under Coughlin. But you can't dismiss those Super Bowl runs. If their Oline is improved they should be in most games with a guy like Beckham. I think they should be around .500 and if things break their way they could get into the playoffs as a wildcard. Then look out.Yes, my oh my goodness.

We have a few eagle regulars in the Cowboys threads too and I appreciate their different points of view as long as it is respectful and doesn't get personal. Heck, I even welcome the outside view as some of my breathern are short sighted sometimes.
I didn't think my post was off side. You (Deamons) have obviously taken a dislike to me, or the fact I like a blue and silver team or you are assuming I have an agenda by being here, which I don't.

How about some Football talk huh?
1) I think the Giants had a great draft and could make some noise, do you guys seeing them challenging our two teams for the East?
and
2) How many wins are guys projecting for yourselves this year?
As for the Eagles, so much will depend on their health. I really do think if Bradford plays a whole season that he will be sensational in this offense. Murray/Matthews/Sproles should give the Eagles a great run game to open up things for the young receivers. The defense should be solid with the FA additions as well as Alonso.
Eagles stay healthy (especially Bradford): 13-3
Bradford gets hurt: 8-8 to 10-6.

Could have been a deal breaker, hard to say, as we don't know what was or wasn't promised. All we know is he said he preferred to play OT. And it would be RT (Free), not LT (Tyron Smith).Ya, watching the presser ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66GPfWmfnhE) I don't think it was just a promise at starting at LT. Seems like there was quite the bondage between these guys, and Collins seemed hell bent on playing in Dallas, and Jones and Garrett seem to act like he is a godsend. No way it was ONLY about playing LT.I think I suggested something similar in the Collins thread.i like that Chip is willing to take chances, but i am a little worried about his approach to avoiding all players with possible character issues. not spending a late pick on a guy like Collins is something i can't understand. low risk, high reward and would have been great value at a relatively cheap contract for a few years. i heard today on sports radio (i.e. there is likely no factual information with this) that Jerry promised Collins LT spot next year when they let Free walk, and that is why Collins signed there because what he really wanted is a chance to start at LT. Chip couldn't promise that with Peters still hereDeamon said:ya he's obviously good. No way to spin it that it wasn't a home run pick. Nothing we can do now though.I'm assuming Chip will address it next year when it's really an issue, and probably take 2 OL in the first 3 rounds.Bob Magaw said:Haven't heard that, but seems like he would have given up more than 0 sacks and hits and 4 pressures if true?
Baldy (PTTD) also called him his favorite OL in the draft, and specifically highlighted his ability to get to the second level and stick with his blocks, a description that on the face of it, sounds pretty much antithetical to being on the ground a lot?
My hope is he wants to build the expectation and the personality of the team on all strong character guys so he can bring in guys with character concerns in 2 years or so when the locker room will be established with a few leaders.
But Free is the RT (Tyron Smith Pro Bowl LT).

What insight were you adding with the smiley face when mentioning collins' visit?

Really???I think you are being way too sensitive. But if that's how you feel, that's how you feel. He's a big boy and can defend his own comments, if he wants.Was, yes. His last couple posts prove otherwise. As was pointed out by others too.Don't bang on Bankerguy. He's one of the few decent Cowboy fans on this board. He has a good sense of humor and is not a troll. And I hope all the talented but Character-flawed new Cowboys melt down, and they go 4-12 this year. Just like he hopes all the talented but injury prone new Eagles all remain injury prone and the Eagles go 4-12 this year.Deamon said:You just had to post didn't you. You clearly know why.Why??? Lol
Almost fell for your whole "I wasn't trying to rub it in Eagles fans faces" post the other day. Go to your own thread already.
I do know and like a few of the Eagles guys and have joked a bit before. I usually post during offeseason, Dallas/Philly week and when there is news relative to both teams or if I feel I can add insight when you guys discuss the Cowboys like where I shared that Collins was not likely to replace Free, but instead Leary at LG.

I don't hate you because you're a cowboys fan. I don't hate you... I made a post that challenged you coming into an eagles forum to making a couple unnecessary jabs that appeared (to others who called you out as well) to be rubbing things in. Your comments on what position Collins may play is fine, though may better be suited for your own thread. Your winks and smiles and "haha you don't want brady to play against us", "haha he's coming to us first" were not adding anything. Anyways, time to move on, we clearly won't agree but it's just a forum it's not the end of the world.
EDIT:
1. Don't see the Giants pushing for the div... but perhaps an outside shot at a wild card spot.
Dallas 11-5 (12-4 if Brady's suspension is upheld)
Philly 11-5
NYG 8-8
Wash 4-12

I'm curious to see how the Dallas running game does. It was the reason that they were so good last year. I'm not sure they can plug and play anyone back there. If they swing a deal for ADP, I think they'll win the division again. If they have to rely on McFadden, they will come back to the pack.Deamon said:What insight were you adding with the smiley face when mentioning collins' visit?

Michael Irvin seems to agree with you. I do think the line will help them have a good running game but losing Murray still will show a weaker running game over all from last year.I'm curious to see how the Dallas running game does.

As far as the Giants go I have no clue what to expect. It all comes down to if the line can protect Eli enough, he was hit around pretty good last year. They've got good offensive weapons and probably a top 5 wideout super star in Beckham Jr. I can see them going anywhere from being contenders to the division to the basement.

Nice, that's exciting. Tra must have really gotten to him. Let's hope this turns into a Brandon Graham story and not a Danny Watkins story.

It's a step in the right direction and that's all you can ask for at this point. Barwin calling him one of the strongest on the D is nice to hear.

I think we all can agree that football is highly influenced by military thinking and I believe Chip (Navy Seals advisors, etc.) might take it to an even higher level. The Seals are not just physically gifted--they are also off the charts in brains, motivation and intangibles. This is a bit of a dramatic analogy but it's like he's assembling that perfect Spartan phalanx where if one soldier can't get his shield just right, the whole thing collapses. Think of the scene in the movie 300 with Lionidas and the hunchback.i like that Chip is willing to take chances, but i am a little worried about his approach to avoiding all players with possible character issues. not spending a late pick on a guy like Collins is something i can't understand. low risk, high reward and would have been great value at a relatively cheap contract for a few years. i heard today on sports radio (i.e. there is likely no factual information with this) that Jerry promised Collins LT spot next year when they let Free walk, and that is why Collins signed there because what he really wanted is a chance to start at LT. Chip couldn't promise that with Peters still hereya he's obviously good. No way to spin it that it wasn't a home run pick. Nothing we can do now though.I'm assuming Chip will address it next year when it's really an issue, and probably take 2 OL in the first 3 rounds.Haven't heard that, but seems like he would have given up more than 0 sacks and hits and 4 pressures if true?

My hope is he wants to build the expectation and the personality of the team on all strong character guys so he can bring in guys with character concerns in 2 years or so when the locker room will be established with a few leaders.
Chip is trying to build his perfect phalanx and character and intelligence are just as vital as pure physical skill.
Anyway...maybe I should't watch so many movies...

Link to the whole article: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000492994/article/barwin-on-marcus-smith-physically-he-looks-different
Really like our LB corps - Barwin/Graham at OLB Alonso/Kendrick/Ryans at ILB is the best LB group we've had a long while IMO. Two good pass rushers, some excellent coverage guys, and playing behind a superb DLine helps.
Strong front 7 and here's hoping Smith becomes a contributor.

What was interesting about it? Guy got screwed out of ten million and his only compensation was he got to pick where he wants to play. Chip chose Philadelphia over Cleveland. I'm sure most players have preferences of where they want to play. I know I would. Problem with a draft is players have little to no choice.Maggot Brain said:

The biggest knock on him came from Tra Thomas once the season ended and it was about his strength. Tra said Smith had the body of a QB and not a LBer
