I'm here, ready to chat. Thank you, as always, for coming. The Eagles begin OTAs this week, so there's much to discuss. I get to watch practice and talk to Chip Kelly and players on Thursday, so stay tuned throughout the week/weekend for up-to-the-minute coverage. Let's get going on the chat...

A top 10? That's a hard list to crack. Rodgers, Brady, Manning, Brees, Luck, Wilson, Ryan, Rivers, Roethlisberger, Newton. That's 10 right there, and doesn't even get into Romo, Stafford, Eli, Kaepernick, Flacco. So I wouldn't say top 10. But he has talent to be a really good QB.

So, I see Wolff is being plugged as the most likely starting Safety opposite Jenkins. What has Wolff done to show he can stay helthy, play through pain, or play ST's for a full 16? Why do the coaches now see him as so improved that they can float his name out there as a starting candidate?
-
Valid questions. He's entering his third year and has every opportunity to enter the lineup. The coaches didn't think he looked right last year, which is why Wolff went on IR. If he's fully healthy, he'll be a better player than how he appeared last year. Or at least that's what they hope. But he must prove he is healthy and can stay healthy.

Hard for me to answer because I've never seen Mudiay other than highlight clips. I'd caution anyone from evaluating a player based on highlight clips. Russell has the chance be a very productive player. I'm intrigued by what I've heard about Mudiay, but I'd need to defer to the people who've seen him. But I don't think you can go wrong with Russell.

I think they need to hope for health. Many teams can say that, but I don't think the Eagles have enough depth this season to withstand injuries at that spot. I thought they'd try to upgrade some of the backup spots, but they're relying on player development. They let a starter leave and didn't add a starting-caliber player to the mix. Long-term, I think it's more of a concern than short term. If they stay healthy this year, they'll be fine.
