LBs and DTs solid starters, solid bench. Tor the future.

That was a great preseason loss. No injuries. Got to see a few players who are fighting for starting roster spots. Too many penalties on offense. A bit expected to some degree in a preseason game but still too many. Saw some good things too.
Plenty of work to do.

I’m bored and gonna write my take on how the team looks after 2 preseason games, which no one will read.
This team is not going to be as dominant as last year. The schedule is tougher and they’ve lost some really solid players. But, if they don’t have an injury regression back to the mean (big if) they should repeat as NFCE champs and go deep in the playoffs.
Offense: The Offense should be as dominant as last year. Almost all the starters are back. Patullo has been involved in the Offense since Nick’s been here, so even though “NeW C0oRdiN4t0r for Jalen”, things should look very similar.
QBs: Jalen’s not a top 10 QB.
OK, sure, rank him where you want, dude is a baller. And a winner. Tanner McKee is already getting fitted for a gold jacket. McCord will be QB3 and get a chance to develop in the QB factory.
RB: Say-KWAAAAN! They can’t and won’t feed Say-2k as much as last year. Funky stats showing a huge drop-off after a season like he had last year. If he stays healthy (big if) he’ll still be a huge part if the game. AJ Dillon is a great back-up, will feature late in games when they are running clock. Shipley is a talented, electric back that makes big plays in spite of his lack of speed.
WRs: AJ, DeVonta and Dotson are great. Johnny Wilson looks better in preseason, actually fighting for balls and playing big, finally. Great blocker. Darius Cooper, the undrafted rookie has shown out in camp. He will make the team, and be WR3 next year when Dotson’s gone. Ainias Smith has scored 2 TDs in pre-season. I think he’ll make the team because of ST play, if they decide to keep 6 WRs.
TEs: Goedert and a bunch of guys. Calcaterra is a lock, but still can’t block. My favorite at TE3 is EJ Jenkins, but I think Bryant will be the guy they keep.
OL: I’m gonna lump them all together, because what needs to be said? They’re arguably the best Oline in football. Steen will be ok, but is the weakest link. Biggest issue is depth, especially with Lane being older, Landon always missing time and having junkyard knees and Jurgy’s back issues. Backups are a mess of cast-offs and re-treads. A couple injuries here would be disastrous.
Defense: This unit is gonna fall off quite a bit. You can’t lose as many quality starters as they did and be as dominant as they were. The question is: Are they still top 10? top 15?
DT: Dominant. JC continues to devlop as one of the best in the league. Jordan Davis is in ‘best shape of his life szn’, should stay on the field more as a 3-down guy. Moro Ojomo will be a household name after this season. Ty Robinson looks very promising as a oass rusher. Gabe Hall is a quality guy who will rotate in. BY has shown some good things.
EDGE: I’m nervous about this unit. I love Nolan Smith. However, he is still young and developing. Can he continue the amazing production he showed late season and dominating the playoffs. I think so, but it’s early to annoint him.
re: Jalyx, take everything about Nolan and multiply by 100. He looked great late, but he is so raw. Does he hold up with a huge snap count? The rest of the guys are JAGs and question marks. Uche, Ojulari, Patrick Johnson probably make the team. Okoronkwo and Mathis? who knows. No depth, and some question marks.
ILBs: Dominant. Zach Baun should only be better 2nd year in the system. Jihaad looks like a steal. Back from injury early, playing very well in camp. Trotter Jr. has great instincts and Monden looks like an awesome prospect. Nice to see strong LBs in midnight green.
Safety: Reed is solid. Losing CJGJ hurts, don’t love his personality, but loved his game. Sidney Brown is not a starter. He is great at pinning his ears back and running downhill, but he is undisciplined and not very good in coverage. Mukuba could be solid. I hope he has a DeJean like development arc this season. The 2 turnovers this week against CLE definitely gave him an edge to start. Or at least levelled the field after the injury time missed.
CB: Q is a bona fide stud shutdown CB. Reports out of camp are he is even better than last year. Talk of him travelling with team’s best WRs. Coop is aalso a bona fide stud. I hope they don’t get too cute using him as a Swiss Army knife, and take away how damn good he is at slot CB. Mac McWilliams looks really good in limited reps, and has some versatility. I see him with an expanded role late in the season.
CB2 is a mess.
Kelee Ringo is too inconsistent. Great plays, followed by mind-blowingly bad decisions and crappy tackling. Tight hips and poor change of direction.
Adoree Jackson is who he has been the last several years. He looked decent in TEN early in his career, but especially now, he is JAG. Should not be a starter and if he makes the team, it says more about lack of confidence in Ringo.
Jakorian Bennett will probably be the starter. Athletic freak with amazing speed. Unfortunately, I think he is a smaller version of Ringo. Tight hips, poor change of direction, and occassional poor decision-making. He had a decent PBU against CLE, but 2 poor plays right before that.
I don’t know if any really decent FA CBs are available. Gilmore? Asante Jr? Maybe Jak Bennett will turn into a decent enough CB. But, if the pass rush isn’t absolutely smothering this year, I could see a lot of Jonathan Gannon-level frustration with middling QBs tearing up the secondary.
Overall, I have a lot of faith in Vic. If the Birds avoid injury, they will go deep again this year.
TL;DR The Eagles should be good, barring injuries. But there are some question marks with depth and the secondary will struggle.

Why?

Pelissero saying they traded TE Harrison Bryant and swapped back their original picks from the CJGJ trade.

Kick Returns?
DJackson10

Because Dotson and the others suck. We got rid of Harrison Bryant Hou needed a TE after Brev ajordan teared his ACL last week
Terpman22
Footballguy
Everything I was hearing he was a guy that could do it all, just is a depth guy not a starter. Behind him it’s EJ Jenkins for TE3.
Still don’t get the move unless they felt they were cutting Bryant anyway and just wanted to still get value.

So, with Metchie coming here, the current roster would likely be: AJ, Devonta, Dotson, Metchie, Wilson and one of A Smith or Cooper, if they keep 6. Neither Ainias or Cooper will clear waivers and make Practice Squad.
2 scenarios make the most sense:
1. AJs hammy is more serious than we thought. Which, honestly, seems more unlikely. You lose AJ, Metchie is not the answer.
2. Another team asked about one of the WRs on the roster. Howie’s cooking up a trade of Dotson or Wilson for another player. In this order: CB, Swing G or Swing T. Maybe Safety, but I think they’ll roll with Mukuba.

Because you just moved down a round in the draft for a guy who if he's lucky will see MAYBE 10-15 targets all year. He's also on the last year of his rookie deal so there isn't even the possibility of a controlled asset when Dotson leaves. Metchie was going to get cut by the Texans, he's not some savior in the slot, and I don't think he's better than Dotson. I don't see what benefit he brings.
Terpman22
Footballguy
Yeah I'm not on board w the Metchie move I hope there is not more to this as in AJB might not be ready etc, but trading for lol John Metchie at the same time does nothing to help resolve helping replace AJB. I'm sure its just more over tinkering to a degree by Howie

From Vic’s presser today:
Coop is gonna get reps at CB2 today.
Rotating in at NB: Mac, Parry Nickerson and Brandon Johnson.
He downplayed how disappointed he is in the fact that nobody has really separated themselves as CB2. Vic’s usually pretty straightforward about how he feels on stuff, so maybe the situation isn’t as bad as it looks from the outside. I sure hope so, because it looks dismal to me.
I think Howie is working behind the scenes hard to get Oline depth and a better CB2.

Seems something is about to happen, just not sure what. I think in the end we keep Jackson at CB2, but we shall see, maybe Mac can pick up slot play asap, but I do not trust it right now.
Deamon
Footballguy
Lucky to see 1 target per game? He had 33 last year, I think 33 this year is definitely possible.
Also it is not a full round move down. Expecting our pick to be a very low 5th for a mid round 6th. In the 6th round, that is nothing. Not expecting him to be a world beater but obviously Howie saw some potential in him. Dude just beat cancer and is working his way back, I think it was extremely small risk.
Dez Bryant approved today:
You clearly don’t know football.. Metchie been in unfortunate situations that had nothing to do with his play.. health issues and emerging WRs in Houston..Eagles clearly got a steal…he’s familiar with Hurts and Smith…Eagles really out here playing MUT in real life…
Terpman22
Footballguy
I'm sure they have a long term plan plus they have so many picks in 2026....
My guess is Dotson is looking good/decent in the system a full offseason in, going into his 2nd season. From what I can tell from camp reports, he looks really really good. Is he going to get 60+ catches or 800+ yards? No, that is not how this offense runs, but maybe they will involve the slot more with KP running the offense. With that said, the chemistry between Dotson and Hurts seems to be "there" now and they are probably projecting him moving on after 2025 and could view Metchie as an "in house" guy now to do the same thing going into 2026, assuming this is all the plan. Metchie is definitely easier to keep and has more to prove so I could see this being a thing they are trying to set up and let the battle for WR4+ keep churning until one of these young/lotto ticket guys like Wilson/Smith/Cooper hit in a decent way.

The Texans threw the ball nearly 130 times more than the Eagles did last season. Even with the three guys ahead of him missing multiple games (Diggs missed over half the season), he only saw 37 targets. Unless you're projecting a rash of injuries at the WR position and the Eagles to suddenly go from a run-first team to a pass heavy team, I'll stick with my 10-15 target range.
Also, since when is Dez Bryant an authority on NFL players. He actually said he preferred Quinn Ewers over Tua and said Ewers was "Dan Marino 2.0." Thanks, Dez, you're opinion isn't really needed here.

You said 10-15 MAYBE, if he's LUCKY.
So how many targets do you project for him then... 5-10?

Honestly, if A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson stay healthy, I don't even expect him to dress most weeks? He's just doesn't bring anything to the table that the Eagles don't already have. 15 targets MAX if everyone stays healthy.
