I draft a few FFPC superflex leagues and got him once in the 3rd and once in the 4th. Freaking STOKED about that. Considering how high the first couple guys go in those types of leagues.
See my response to Insein. National online leagues he’s a steal right now. Local home leagues it’ll likely be a different story.
What's that message? We're desperate? Don't make us have to pay you that much? This is all we can find without you.
It'll be interesting to see how they circumvent the cap. I give props for drafting most of there good players but keeping that OL, Zeke, Lawrence, Dak, and Cooper under one roof is going to be challenging. They also have Vander Esche to consider.
they sent him a message by putting Jon Kitna on the staff. If Prescott doesn't like the contract, they will just just replace his spot with Kitna.
Finally. He can be an effective guard for another 2-3 years.Jason Peters says he's open to playing guard to help extend his career. Peters at LG and Dillard LT
“Yeah, I’m going to play as long as I can,” Peters said via Philly Voice. “As long as I can do it, I’m going to go. Whether that’s tackle or guard, I can play all the way across the board.”
Time flies. Doesn't feel that long since he went through that awful draft day mess.
What a team guyJason Peters says he's open to playing guard to help extend his career. Peters at LG and Dillard LT
“Yeah, I’m going to play as long as I can,” Peters said via Philly Voice. “As long as I can do it, I’m going to go. Whether that’s tackle or guard, I can play all the way across the board.”
We're talking the best LT the game has since in many yrs. I'm not sold on our LG so if he can plug a hole then fine.
Peters "I'm going to play as long as I can"... DJax: "What a team guy"
Sproles "I'm going to play as long as I can"... DJax: "What a bum. He should retire already, he's hurting the team"
Too bad we have an awful coach and GM who won't see it as well as you do, and he might make the team for no reason. Damn.
I just think people are too scared to call the guy out. One of the few things I;ll get on Doug and Howie for is their infatuation with a 36 yrs old RB who's been hurt almost every year the last few years. I bet some of the same people defending Sproles are the ones saying Wentz is injury prone and we shouldve kept Foles. I wouldn't be going hard on the guy if he hadn't already said 3 yrs ago it was his last year only to keep saying it the last 3 yrs. If he wants to keep playing just say hey I changed my mind.
Again had this not come out I would've said I think he should retire but hey thats on him when he should but he's literally toyed with it for 2 yrs already. Pretty soon we're gonna have Brett Favre level on is he gonna retire after this year. Nah I'll come back and sign in July again after OTAs and Mini camp
The guy is not Favre. Or Wentz/Foles. We're talking about our 4th RB here. Smallwood or Adams is not the future of Philly and won't contribute to the team any more than Sproles will. At a 4th RB position, like someone mentioned before, he ticks all the boxes and will be great for that group of backs. Not sure why you're going off on the guy, let him change his mind for whatever reason he wants. If Howie and Doug see great value on him being on the team, then I'm all for it. I wouldn't lose sleep over a 4th RB like you are... the guy he beats out will have been nothing for our team in the future.
You’re making this read like they don’t make mistakes and they do.
But if at the end of the game he's 3rd or 4th in RB touches and snaps, what is he?
I'm sure they make mistakes. But I have full confidence that if he makes the team, he made the team for a reason.
I doubt that happens considering how the Eagles don't trust a guy after fumbling. First few times Sanders fumbles Sproles is taking his snaps just like he's done the last few yrs with Ajayi, Clement, Adams etc
His usage over Sanders (a rookie) will be higher than you think.The Noid said:
As it stands today I’ll be shocked if he didn’t make the team.Deamon said:
We really go with veterans over younger guys. Over the years we only play the young guys when there’s been injuries. Didn’t matter how good some have looked with their time either.DJackson10 said:
I agree what you are saying I'm just basing this on the fact that like Billichik Doug preaches ball security and Sanders has a history in college not protecting the ball (30% more fumbles then anyone else in the RB class) and given what happened to Josh Adams last year after some security issues I wouldn't be surprised Sproles taking Sanders snaps away. Its one of the reasons I said I'm surprised the Eagles drafted Miles Sanders because of his ball security issues.
Djax's "This guy sucks, he will be hurt or playing bad very soon like I told everyone" post in 3... 2.... 1....
Do they really need 3 on the active roster? If Wentz does go down again, I would think they'd sign a veteran backup and not rely on those two guys, unless they magically turn it on in the preseason games. Assuming they could stash one or both on the practice squad if they want them.
Most teams operate with 3 QBs especially if the starter has an injury history. I expect them to have 3 and at least Kessler has NFL experience.
My money is on them only keeping 2 QBs on the 53, and if they do 3 it's to protect Thorson (or some other QB they poach), not keep Kessler. Too many other positions where they need to carry depth for game days. Thorson (maybe fortunately) doesn't seem to be a threat to get snapped up if they try and put him on the PS and if something were to happen to Wentz, I think they are at peace with Sudfeld taking over and then making a move to find a back-up to him. There will be plenty of Cody Kessler-level replacement QBs to choose from.
Yep. Go with 5 RBs and 2QBs is my vote. Keep all the 'sproles sucks' people happy and let smallwood on the roster haha.
It's still camp. I remember a quite a few young players the beat guys have hyped up over the years here during Camp only for them to look like they should never have been signed to a team once the games are played. I still hold to my original statement. I thought the guy was completely overhyped coming out of college riding the coattails of people thinking because Marcus Peters did there and his success he'd do it too. Then the Hammy injury which is no joke in the NFL. Even if he does become an all pro I'll still say the move to make at the time was go after someone else. My initial anger on the pick is it was made in the 2nd round where guys in the 2nd should be on the field playing pretty impactful snaps by the end of year 1 or by year 2. If Jones had fallen further down the board to the 4th or 5th round I had always said I wouldn't mind taking him at that time. 2nd round was just too risky then for me. They past on JuJu and Kamara for the guy too as well as Dion Dawkins and Cooper Kupp. Plus they had no 3rd rounder that year. I honestly would've traded to maybe the back of the 2nd if I could have gotten a 3rd or some extra picks and snuck into the later of the 3rd.
From what I got out of my co workers son without him saying it, it sounded like that was who they really wanted.
