I’d be surprised if Coop was returning punts this year.

zero chance unless its emergency. Methinks he's going to be on the field on defense quite a lot this year.

He was on the field quite a lot last season. Once he was inserted as the starting nickel corner he was on the field for most of the defensive snaps. DeJean from week 5 on was on the field more than Darius Slay. Here were his snap counts (% of plays):

Week 5 (CLE): 52 (91.2%)
Week 6 (@NYG): 42 (72.4%)
Week 7 (@CIN): 47 (81.0%)
Week 8 (JAX): 52 (96.3%)
Week 9 (@DAL): 52 (86.7%)
Week 10 (WAS): 64 (97.0%)
Week 11 (@LAR): 62 (96.9%)
Week 12 (@bal): 56 (77.8%)
Week 13 (CAR): 61 (85.9%)
Week 14 (PIT): 29 (67.4%)
Week 15 (@WAS): 63 (92.6%)
Week 16 (DAL): 39 (62.9%)

Per Tim McManus

Joe Douglas is returning to the Eagles in a senior scouting role, a league source confirms @Jeff_McLane.

Douglas helped build a Super Bowl roster in Philly before taking over as GM of the Jets.

For those interested week of the draft or prior Todd McShay pod did a pretty great interview with Joe about what takes place prior and during and after the draft, as well as talking to him about life etc. fun interview for those interested

The Eagles announce they have reached a contract extension with Nick Sirianni, who was set to enter the final year of his contract in 2025.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Only 1 head coach in the Super Bowl Era has this on his resume after his first 4 seasons:

-- 4 playoff appearances
-- 2 Super Bowl berths
-- Super Bowl championship

Nick Sirianni

7 less playoff wins despite being in the NFL 27 years longer.

How dare you.

:reported:

Welcome home you two

Wait, this isn’t the Cowboys thread? I just assumed because it’s all you guys talk about. It’s in every single thread title.

*Spoiler Alert*

'Tis not in every thread title.

But Micah Parsons sure is chirping a lot about the matchup. He must be a closet fan, right

Parsons is just an idiot at this point. Half his teammates question if he’s still concerned about football or more motivated about Podcasting. He sounds like one of the clowns on TV making hot takes for clicks and ratings

Admit it- you’da loved it if he signed with Philly this off-season.

You mean a guy who admitted last offseason to skipping pre draft interviews with both us and Steelers so he didn’t have to play in PA? A guy who hazed a teammate with sexual assault in college. A guy who’s former teammate accused him of spending too much time on social media. A guy who uses his podcast to to trash his own team? A guy who goes MIA in big games? Yeah definately sounds like the type of guy Howie wants in his locker room.

 

[DJackson10]

Feels like I am spamming this in the Shark Pool, but what's the word on Ainias Smith? Does he have a future or is he a dynasty cut for me coming up?

Practice squad but given they signed only journeymen WRs and outside of Johnny Wilson who they drafted and the two UDFA guys he could replace Covey as WR5. He’s got some Deebo type traits to him but is a developmental guy who’s best asset is speed and has return ability

Looking at the schedule, no consecutive home games doesn't really bother me. BUt the way the division games are scheduled is a joke. Washington twice in last three weeks? Second Dallas game in week 12? Both Giants games in October? Dumb

There’s a legit chance we play Washington 3 times in 4 weeks, if the wild card round of the playoffs shake out a few different ways.

Nah. People forget how many close games washington won last year. They might not even make the playoffs.

Kind of where I'm at. They did improve though overall from last year in my opinion. But they still might end up with a similar record if things bounce 50/50 this year instead of 75/25 like it seemed to on the luck factor last year. Whether it was Hail Mary wins or getting to play Kenny Pickett, to having the game winning FG bounce and doink OVER the crossbar to eliminate TB in the wild card game, a whole lot of things went their way last year. We all play a really tough schedule I just don't see them being too big of a threat this year.

Don't know how good Washington will be, but I do know progression isn't always linear.

The Eagles made some interesting adjustments to contain Daniels with only 4 linemen. I'd expect many teams to do the same.

A lot of teams are going to start imitating what we do, it was pretty evident with the way teams drafted this year. But you gotta have the players and you gotta have the coaching.

Nick Sirianni

A raise and a contract extension seems very appropriate at this point in his tenure. Well deserved at the least. All-in-all, just an average head coach doing his average best in the NFL.


As to threats within the division this season? Washington is the biggest threat today. I think they still will be by the time we play them. Dallas could surprise but, I do not find it likely. New York I expect to struggle all year. I agree, the Commanders are likely to regress a bit, record wise, as are we. Team health will play a large part later in the season.

These guys will have had months to figure out tendencies and take away what they’re good at. We see it year in and year out. The expectations will be really high in Washington now as well. Can they overcome the adjustments and handle the pressure? We’ll see. Like another poster said above, if they don’t make the playoffs and end up line 9-8 I won’t be shocked.

BTW, two teams playing each other 3 times in 4 weeks has never happened, as far as I can tell. At least not naturally, as in 1943 Washington and NYG played 3 consecutive weeks, but only because a make-up game from earlier in the season between the 2 teams was re-scheduled between the final week and the playoffs, where they were also playing each other.

Kenny picket did enough to win in Washington. Our defense failed us in the end.

You need sensibility too. Like you can’t fit square pegs in round holes. Teams were already changing their ways when most said thanks but no thanks to Lamar Jackson. They knew signing him they’d have to change their entire offensive scheme and most orgs weren’t in a position to do that roster wise or financially. No one should’ve been surprised especially given how mediocre he’s been in playoff runs.

Yrs ago yeah Lamar goes somewhere else and this off-season people are talking about more was X team signing Lamar a mistake?

So teams are getting smarter in that sense

I just keep thinking that yeah they just had their best season this century. Whens the last time they had 2 good years in a row? I dont recall them ever doing that. Joe gibbs era i guess

 

[DJackson10]

NFL owners vote 32-0 to allow NFL players to participate in Olympic Flag Football which will start with the next Sunmer Olympics. This means guys like Jordan Malaita and Arryn Siposs can play for team Australia, And other players can play for their countries of origin. Guys like Hurts, Dejean, Mitchell, Smith could play for Team usa.

Old patterns don’t really mean much with them now that the Snyder System of Suckage has moved on.

 

[Hurl Bruce]

Who is the projected backup QB this year? McKee? McCord?

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Mckee will be QB2, McCord’ll be QB3 and DTR will be cut
