Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve

[phillychuck]

This seems like a hard schedule, yet my understanding is that it’s rated by far the easiest in the division.

[EastFallowfield]

People talking about how few 1 PM Sunday games there are, and seeing the Rams as one is weird too, you'd think with all the other time slots they'd put that one somewhere other than 1 too.

[EastFallowfield]

See that the Rams tied a record, set by the 2023 Buffalo Bills and 2025 Kansas City Chiefs, with a total of seven primetime games on the schedule in 2026.

So I suppose that's why the Eagles game vs them is a 1 o'clock one.

[phillychuck]

Early, early 53...this is what I hope they are forced to do by the performance of the young guys, not what will probably happen.

QB(3) -- Hurts, McKee, Dalton, Payton (one of these four will be traded or IRed or hidden off the roster)
RB(3) -- Barkley, Bigsby, Shipley
WR(5) -- Smith, Lemon, Wicks, H.Brown, Cooper
TE(4) -- Goedert, Stowers, Mundt, Wright
OL(11) -- Mailata, Dickerson, Jurgens, Steen, L.Johnson, Kendall, Morris, Williams, Bell, F.Johnson, Lampkin

DT(5) -- J.Carter, Ojomo, Davis, Young, Bernard
Edge(5) -- Greenard, N.Smith, Hunt, Ebiketie, Tyrion-Shoyinka
LB(6) -- Baun, J.Campbell, Trotter, Mondon, C.Campbell, Lawson
CB(5) -- Mitchell, DeJean, Woolen, B.Johnson, Jones (Ringo traded for a pick swap)
S(4) -- Mukuba, Epps, M.Carter, Wisniewski

Specialists(2) -- Eliot, Mann (LS hidden off the roster = Underwood)

You forget BG!

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

Do you think they should or will release Ty Robinson?

[phillychuck]

Should release if he doesn’t improve. Right now he’s behind Young and Hall according to the beat writers relayed comments from coaches.

BG will always be there, waiting for a roster spot to open. I wouldn’t sign him before mid-season to the 53...let him save his energy.

[dicemen99]

I don’t see any reason for Bernard to be on the 53. He is their IPP protected player- they do not risk losing him by putting him on the PS. It took 3 years before Mailata was ready to take a snap.

Robinson will make the team. Eagles don’t cut their draft picks, they give them a chance to develop and have a good track record of this. Bad teams don’t - that is how we ended up with Young, who is turning into a solid depth guy.

6 off ball LBs is too many. Subtract one (maybe 2 if they feel comfortable with PS yo-yo for one) and add a CB.

You don’t have a PR or a LS on the roster. They can PS elevate one for a couple of weeks, but I don’t think they will do two.

Roster cuts will be tough this year. Eagles have some quality depth. Fortunately, they will be able to PS a lot - you always lose less than the nervous Nellie’s online expectation to waivers.

[zambonir]

He is probably happy to be on the Suh plan. Stay in shape, don't have to go to camp, sign if and when needed

IPP players are subject to waivers if moved from the 90 (91) man off-season roster to the practice squad. Any NFL team wanting to claim him can do so, but must put him on their 53 -- he’s not waiver exempt. He gets an extra 17th practice squad spot if he makes it through waivers.

He will get through waivers.

[phillychuck]

What will stocks do tomorrow, oh infallible visionary?

We will know if the Eagles agree with you if they waive him. He’s been a huge story nationally. If I were a bottom feeding team (Cardinals, Dolphins, Jets...) or a team trying to stick it to the Eagles I’d certainly consider claiming him and making him inactive each week this season.

JMO. You could be right, the Eagles did spend a pick on him, although I think that was primarily a function of this draft which didn’t have a lot of Day 3 guys with draft able grades. But then again, none of those bottom feeder teams you mentioned thought that much of him to take a 7th round flyer in a weak draft.

He is very far away from being able to take a snap, further away thanfrom even Mailata given the fact that he has never been hit in his athletic career, which is no small factor.

Maybe he’s a prodigy and can develop enough to contribute on STs and warrant a developmental spot on the 53. If so, I’ll tip my cap. If that happens, the Eagles will have to have seen something from him that projects to NFL starter, otherwise you cut him and bring him back on the PS.

We will see in the preseason when the pads come on. I think year 2 will be the earliest year we are having this discussion.

Saquon and Jalix at AJ’s wedding:

[xogfog]

Nolan Smith arrested for being clocked at 135mph in a 70mph zone in Georgia. It's his second egregious speeding ticket, in 2022 he was arrested for driving 89mph in a 45mph zone with a suspended license. I think it's time for him to hire a chauffeur.

[zambonir]

For a Georgia player, it not being a DUI or accident is unfortunately progress.

[phillychuck]

I’m sort of shocked Nolan Smith had an incident of any kind. He was widely reported as an extremely mature young man. He was a high achieving academic, reported to be a family-oriented person (wears #3 to honor his Mom), speaks to youth groups about valuing academics, and does a LOT of charitable work. People with those credentials don’t usually drive 140 mph unless they are on a racetrack. I’m curious what prompted this particular violation. And his history with a friend dying in an auto accident should also have made him cautious. I’m pretty disappointed.

[zambonir]

Well he already had the first violation and a suspended license before the Eagles drafted him, in addition to the franchise not being at all deterred by that football program's culture of reckless driving (some 30 incidents just between 2022 and 2024). And you don't buy a Lamborghini to obey the speed limit.
