Eagles chat with Zach Berman

3rd & 7 37yd

When I look at our secondary this past season, it was bend but don’t break. The pass yardage we gave up was unacceptable. Was that due to sub packages, personnel, or poor technique?

by Shaq 3/6/2018 5:40:42 PM
I think a big part of it was they were ahead in games, so teams had to pass. It looks different when you're playing from behind. But the personnel can get better -- Sidney Jones will be a big addition.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:41:17 PM
I really think we need a playmaker on offense, that should be our number one need

by Jimmy 3/6/2018 5:41:21 PM
I'd say they have their fair share, but they'll continue to add. However, between Jeffery, Ajayi, Agholor, Ertz -- I don't think you can complain much.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:41:47 PM
Based on what you heard in Indy, what percentage do you put on foles being traded?

by Jimmy 3/6/2018 5:41:50 PM
I've thought all along he'd be traded. I'd say 60-40 he's traded. All depends on the offer.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:42:10 PM
does it make sense to move Rasul Douglas and/or maybe even Jalen Mills to safety?

by kevin77772002 3/6/2018 5:42:15 PM
Not yet. I'd add a young safety in the draft.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:42:46 PM
Will birds use transition tag on Bradham or Robinson?

by Miles 3/6/2018 5:42:56 PM
Nope -- I don't think they can make that type of financial commitment right now.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:43:07 PM
Do you think foles is traded?

by Anthony 3/6/2018 5:43:08 PM
I do, and I think he should be. He's a No. 2 QB on the last year of his deal. If you can get a valuable pick for him, you'd be foolish not to take it.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:43:32 PM
Patrick Robinson played well but I don’t think he should be overplayed. It’s other options in the draft and possibly Roby-Coleman in FA. Are Eagles making him a priority?

by Raheem 3/6/2018 5:45:19 PM
If the Eagles don't trade a cornerback, I'd go into the year with Mills, Darby, Jones, and Douglas as my top four -- assuming one can play nickel. If not, that's an issue.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:45:46 PM
I feel like the eagles need to work the trade market very well this offseason in order to keep adding to this really good roster with young talent

by Anthony 3/6/2018 5:45:50 PM
They need more picks. I'd be surprised if they only drafted six players.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:46:20 PM
Would the Eagles have won the SB with Wentz as QB? He is accurate, but not Foles-in-the-SB accurate... heck, mostly Foles isn't Foles-in-the SB accurate

by Dave 3/6/2018 5:46:31 PM
Yes, I think they would have won. But I don't know if Wentz would have played better than Foles.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:46:52 PM
I think our biggest draft need is defensive end and safety. They have some older players there who make a lot of money, eventually we need to add some cheaper talent

by Tim 3/6/2018 5:46:59 PM
Those are two areas I see them addressing. I'd say d-line overall, but I think DL, OL, S, RB, TE are all areas they address.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:47:30 PM
Considering you think foles will be traded, what do you ultimately think he gets traded for, and any prediction as to where?

by Danny 3/6/2018 5:47:35 PM
I'd say either a second-round pick or a swap of first-round picks.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:47:44 PM
Maybe that's not enough for them. It would be enough for me.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:47:59 PM
Do you think the eagles will make an impactful move this offseason?

by Ken 3/6/2018 5:48:57 PM
Sure -- but I don't think a huge splash. But I think they're more active than some think.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:49:13 PM
Do you think the browns would take a trade of Foles, jay train for the 1pick and select Barkley.... possibly sweeten deal and add 32 pick

by Barry Zink 3/6/2018 5:51:51 PM
No, I don't. I don't think Browns are trading No. 1 for that type of package.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:52:20 PM
Anything eagles could offer to get to 1

by Barry Zink 3/6/2018 5:53:47 PM
Not when they're picking at No. 32. Unless they traded Carson Wentz, of course, which isn't happening.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:54:06 PM
I don't see Wentz being ready to start the season after only 9 months of recovery time. The Eagles were very careful with Sidney Jones so for sure they'll be even more cautious with Wentz...given this, they must keep Foles unless they get a huge offer of picks. Foles starts for the first games. Agree?

by kevin 3/6/2018 5:55:50 PM
I don't have a sense of Wentz's recovery yet. S. Jones was a different situation -- different injury, different timetable, different player. If the backup must play a month, it obviously makes sense to keep Foles. But I think Wentz could be back Week 1.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:56:42 PM
Do you think they look at Allen Robinson in free agency after they make their cuts?

by 856 3/6/2018 5:56:47 PM
I don't think they'll be able to afford Robinson in free agency.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:57:03 PM
With limited picks. I think we have to hit on all 6 picks and the UDFAs. Hopefully, we can find another Clement.

by Jordan 3/6/2018 5:57:05 PM
They won't hit on all six picks. If the expectation is they hit on all Day 3 picks, then you'll be upset. But they need to draft and develop well. UDFAs are part of it.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:58:09 PM
Last question Foles, jay train, Darby and curry and 32 for #1? Barkley is a beast and we would be unstoppable!!!

by Barry Zink 3/6/2018 5:58:11 PM
No, that won't get you No. 1.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:58:24 PM
j heard no less than a 1st round pick for Foles?

by bob 3/6/2018 5:58:26 PM
All homes have an asking price, too. You never know what a negotiation will bring.

by Zach Berman 3/6/2018 5:58:53 PM
Thank you for all the questions. Let's talk next week.
