Well, to me, it's all about the QB. I'd rather (a healthy) Bradford than Foles at QB. But i'd rather McCoy/Maclin than Murray and Agholor.
The reason is the Eagles play the Ravens in the preseason, and not the Patriots. The practices lead into the game.
This is still fresh, so when I have more to report, I will. But i'm not in the locker room every day like I am during the season.
I was surprised, too, Joe. Good for fans who get to watch them on the holiday.
Culture's a big deal in Philly, as you know. I think you can have both culture and talent, though.
If he's OK off the field, that will be a great pick. Gregory is a really promising player. Reminds me of Jevon Kearse.
No, it's not a signing. A tryout is for a spot at the rookie camp. A UDFA signing means he's on the 90-man roster. So it's totally different. The tryout players aren't on the roster...at least not yet.
I need to see Tebow throw, so it's still early. If he's improved, I can see it being him. Based on what I've seen in the past, I'd say Barkley.
The first-round pick -- that is incredibly valuable. I was surprised because the report said Belichick was not involved.
I think they can. Maybe not all those scores, but they have some good players on special teams. I can see them having one of the best units again.
I think the Cowboys offered a very appealing situation, to be honest. A starting spot on a good line and a likely chance to play tackle in Year 2.
Right now, I need to say the Cowboys. They're the defending champs, I like their draft, and I think they have good QB play.
I think the Cowboys will be able to run effectively with that line. Joseph Randle is a decent back. They can still add, too.
I'm higher on RG3 than others, but he did not look good last year. I'm one who thinks he needs his legs to be effective. And there's nothing wrong with that. If he's healthy, then I think he can be good good again.
Sure, in terms of injuries, talent, availability, position. Brees had more success in SD than Bradford had in St. Louis. But if Bradford is healthy, then the Eagles got good value.
When there is progress to monitor, which is the OTA/mini-camp. There's nothing that can be written about his progress at this point because they're just throwing, which he's able to do.
DeCosta isn't leaving Baltimore. And this is Chip's show. This isn't Lurie's decision. It's about working for/with Chip. Chip is in charge -- that limits the ability to get someone more established.
I think he believes you can take risk on injuries because you can't buy everybody low. He does have confidence in the sports science program. They also evaluate the specifics of the injury.
I think he said stronger arm -- that doesn't mean better QB.
Good question. I think offensive line had something to do with. You want them blocking down field. Kelce and Mathis are very good there. They also needed their RBs to help block some more. But I agree, they need to get Sproles more involved.
I think Alonso is a really good player, so I agree with you there. Curious how they handle the other spot. Graham needs to prove he's an every-down linebacker. I think this will be a good LB corps, though. Hard to compare to 4-3 groups, for obvious reasons.
