4th and 30? Let's hope Jalen Reagor is better than Freddie MitchellRule specifics for the Eagles' proposed alternative to an onside kick that goes up for a vote tomorrow. I like it
It's not without (obvious) risks. Imagine getting a 15-yard penalty and having to go 4th and 30 from your own 10 yard line.
It would probably be half the distance to the goal though, not bring it back to the 10 yard line. So we'd be looking at a 12.5 yard penalty which would bring up 4th and 27. We could handle that!Rule specifics for the Eagles' proposed alternative to an onside kick that goes up for a vote tomorrow. I like it

Yep we officially made him an offer. That would mean bye bye Clement. Sad after that interview he gave on resigning with us, but for the better of the team.
I'd rather keep Clement if it was between him and Shady. Fact Andy made him a healthy scratch during the SB is writing on the wall. Plus given the stuff I've heard about Shady it'd be a step back from the culture we are trying to get back with the team on.
This is good then. Hopefully we get him on the cheap. I've always liked Freeman and I think a role with less touches will do him good.
TB makes so much sense for him over Philly. Gets to be the main guy, Goes to a team with better Super Bowl odds per Vegas, Warmer city, and gets to stay in the division and play Atlanta a couple revenge games.
Worse than Shady looked last year? Cause those are our two options.
I personally thought he looked worse than Shady. Shady lost his job and active status to Damien Williams. Freeman's main competition was Ito Smith, and Smith suffered a bad concussion in the latter stages of the season. I will admit to tuning out the last six weeks of Freeman's year last year, which IIRC, weren't too bad.
He didn't lose his active status to Damien Williams, he lost it to Darwin Thompson.
Yeah, he and Williams were splitting time as starters. Then he lost active status. He was replaceable with Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson there to fulfill his role. I'm well aware of what happened as I rostered him last year. You can find me in the threads about the KC backs.
As a 3rd/4th RB, in a vacuum, I'd probably agree. But the role they are likely looking for is someone who can step-in and carry the load if Sanders went down for an extended period of time. Not sure they see Clement as that kind of answer.
I agree but speaking on stand point of where they are at career wise a Healthy Clement at this point is a better option for that job then Shady at 100%. They should've went after Devonta Booker, Chris Thompson or Dion Lewis if this is what they want. At this point Id ask Lamar Miller to come here. If healthy thats a big reward there
Sorry man. Glad he’s gone.
I respect your right to this opinion, but whole-heartedly disagree. This might be the first time I've ever seen Malcolm referred to as a cancer not on Twitter.
“To think that everyone should have the same ideals as you is ridiculous.”- Malcolm Jenkins. He said this while criticizing Drew Brees for not having the same ideals as him.
I posted the full statement for context and bolded so you can see the beginning of the statement you are referring to. It's very propaganda like to cut up one sentence from an entire 4 minute statement and try to attack that line without any context.
I’ve watched his video at least 10x. The first part of your bolded has nothing to do with the second. One is very specific and only applies one way. His way. The second is a broad stroke of a brush to justify what he knows is a ridiculous statement. He caught himself there and you’ll see it in the video.
Again, I respect your opinion. I didn't format this, but know enough about English writing that if things are in the same paragraph together, they relate to one another. Feel free to continue to parse the words to fit whichever agenda you seem to want to align with. If you want to get yourself all worked up about this, go for it. You seem to be the only person in Eagles world (not on twitter) that seems to have beef with Malcolm. If you recall, we won a Super Bowl due to our culture, locker room and chemistry. To each their own, but you came out here with a single sentence trying to put meaning behind it without context, not the other way around. I'm done here with you Big Boy.
I’m not even close to being upset. Please stop deflecting.
Of Drew Brees video? The whole thing! The timing, the message, the tone deafness, the inability to "read the room" , using the military as some shield in his argument, despite never serving a day himself, instead leaning on his grandfather's service. Muddying the waters, showing poor leadership and judgement. I mean, its a long list buddy.
This. I don't think Brees really gave an "opinion", and I don't think Malcom was saying his was the only opinion to have. Brees was pretty insensitive to the current situation with his words and is going to/has already made enemies from this. You see the difference in ways that Carson vs Brees responded to his teammates' current pain?
So you’re telling me Wentz and Brees are two different people who handled situations differently? That’s not allowed now
Yes they handled those situations differently. Carson shows far more leadership here. I bet there's a lot of players right now (not saying they're right or wrong for it, but it's how they feel) who would rather play for a guy like Carson then Drew right now. I'm not even really debating what Drew said, but even if you believe in what Drew said, as a leader sometimes you gotta say the right things to the media.
"Is everything right with out country right now? No, it's not. We still have a long way to go." - Drew Brees
Why do you keep taking 1 line and trying to discuss single sentences when we are discussing the whole message. You seem to be the only one that really wants to do this.
You picked one good part out of what he said lol.
I’m honestly starting to lean towards you not listening to the Brees interview at all. This is why I asked which part you disagreed with. When you said everything I bailed.Terpman22 said:
So when he gave his reasons for what the anthem means to him, that made you angry?Deamon said:
Agreed. I need COVID gone and POS cops to stop killing people so I can have a summer lol
I maybe late here but I vehemently Disagree here. Maybe you don't agree with his beliefs or not (Thats for another thread in itself) but the Eagles have always been proactive in letting their players speak their mind in the locker room. Jenkins was one of the main leaders in that locker room. From people I know Jenkins was never an issue.
Brees comments were absolutely tone death on the situation at hand. Too many people have made it about support of a Flag. This Anthem stuff is cheap patriotism brainwashing that has been used across the world such as Nazi Germany, North Korea, Russia etc. The military thing is a different rabbit hole completely we could go down. I'll just put it this way and leave this topic at rest here. Using the Anthem is a cheap cop out and being tone deaf on the situation for lack of supporting military etc. These protestors being gassed and militarized by the police and our military occupying the street are you mad about it? if you are now you know how half the world feels about us when we "help them". Brees comments were nothing more then buzz words used by the right and Trump routinely to try and dehumanize the protests and social injustice in this country to minorities. Brees has been part of locker rooms with numerous monitory players over the yrs who have talked about their issues growing up.
Brees comments were bad but it was just a mistake (we've all made them). He's already apologized. I can't believe people are still making a big deal out of this. The guy has been a class act his entire career and one bad comment apparently changes everything.DJackson10 said:
