Bruh its infuriating to see. Ertz is going to be taken out of every game until we get a real threat or DeSean comes back, granted we make the playoffs. So I'm all the way on board with goerdert and Sanders being the next reads. We SHOULD be able to have an effective running game but it seems our scheme undermines our talent.
Alshon can get his once his defender gets bored of not getting any action.
Who do you have your eyes on come next April? Given our current draft position.
EDIT: and I hate seeing Clowney balling out. Hate seeing Jalen balling. Hate seeing minkah balling. Fuuuuck.
I started "scouting" but honestly when I did..I didnt put alot of emphasis on skilled guys, it was mostly corners, safeties, DT and OG.
I really like Ashtyn Davis from Cal...solid free safety- was a track star (hurdler) that walked on and made a name for himself- he needs to bulk up a little.
Mustafa Johnson- DT from Colorado- crazy fast get off and is a threat as a pass rusher- like him alot
Sleeper CB-Kindle Vildor- can play man and zone- good close in speed-
I am super high on Shane Lemieux from Oregon at OG- good pass pro and run blocking / pulling- i also like Ben Bredeson and Ben Cleveland but not sure how "athletic" they are for our scheme but they are mean muhfukkas
there aren't alot of speed demons in this coming draft- there is the kid from TCU forget his name.

What about that WR from Penn State?

I dont see him leaving yet.....I think he comes out next year. There is one kid from ASU,Brandon Aiyuk- good long speed and super shifty to....would love to see him in Philly
Meh, our defensive line is fine. It's the corners that suck ass. Clowney wouldn't have helped that.Clowney supposed to be a Eagle... dominating MNF
I didn't see last night's game. How was Josh Gordon? Because I will never understand why they didn't make a move for him, when he couldn't be any worse than these bums they have at receiver now.
didnt get much snaps until lockett got hurt in the 4th. then he got 2 game changing first downs in the 4th/OT. im still laughing at how this team really thought they were too good to give gordon a shot.

They will regret it once Clowney and/or Gordon help to beat the brakes off of us in two weeks. Two players we should have had but the Eagles only want "high" character individuals.
how the mighty have fallen
if theres 1 game left on the schedule that i feel we would get embarrassed the most... its the seahawks game

even when we were streaking and on point we couldnt beat this gotdamn team...we havent beaten the seahawks since mcnabb was QB....this game was a L in my initial predictions of this season...nothing has changed
I just don't understand their approach to the receiver position in general:
Taking Alshon 2.0 in JJAW in the draft. I was fine with it at the time. And it would have made sense if they were planning to move on from Alshon after this year, since he's approaching 30-years old and is due a lot of money. But then Howie goes and guarantees Alshon's contract for the next year. So next year they'll have a 30-year old Alshon, who may already be on the decline but they can't move on from and they're paying a lot of money to, and a 2nd-round rookie who's not going to see the field ahead of him.
And there's the lack of any move to add a speed receiver when it became clear as far back as Week 5, against the Vikings, just how dependent the passing game was on the ability of DeSean Jackson. They had to know around that same time that DJax's injury was more serious than was initially believed to be, and that he wasn't going to be 100% when he came back. But they still decided to depend entirely on his return. Now Carson has no one to throw to but a rookie running back and the tight ends because Alshon, Agholor, and Hollins are terrible.
For that matter, there's also Doug and Groh's weird ass decision not to play JJAW as the WR2 and see what they have in him even when it's become clear how much of a liability Mack Hollins is. Might as well see if Whiteside can surprise at this point.
And then Josh Gordon becomes available and actually makes it to them, and they pass? I get that Gordon hasn't been great this year. But he's still better than Mack Hollins and could at least theoretically give them what their offense needs (a deep threat). If he doesn't work for whatever reason, they could move on with very little cost. But now he walks right to Seattle and will be ripping the Eagles secondary to shreds soon.
Finally, taking Jordan Matthews when what they need is a deep threat. I'll grant that Matthews might be better than Agholor, but he still won't help anything because a slot receiver isn't the problem. The lack of speed is. Matthews won't help that.
