Any veteran Oline available should be called.  That Oline last night was horrible. Luck is gonna get destroyed again this year. 

 

Albeit our offensive line didn't look good, the Eagles front seven has been strong all preseason. They're really good upfront on both sides of the ball.

 

Their starters beat the snot out of Tampa Bay and then blanked Pittsburgh for the entire game. 

 

We have a lot to clean up, but it is only one preseason game.

Even with the good news on Jack I'd try to swing a trade for Ronald Leary or Anthony Davis. Good is not yet ready to be a starter, I like Haeg better  but who knows when he'll be back.

I like those trade options.  Maybe we could use Tolzien to pry Leary away.  I don't see Jerry going with a rookie QB even if he is having a good preseason.  I think Good is getting better every game.  He is switching positions too.  I think he has huge upside and has earned the starting RG spot.  Haag has a great future with us as well.

We started 2 rookies and a 2nd year guy that's changing position and Castonzo played like it was preseason. Did you expect a big game from the secondary too? How about we see how things go vs Detriot before we do much That being said Grig's is always watching just ask the Skins.

Didn't someone just post that AC was a top LT in the game in another thread?  He sucks.    I have never thought he was very good. Just better than the rest of the scrubs. Left side of line we all thought was solid.   Now the right side has caught up and we have a legit OC which exposes AC for what he is.  A below average to average LT at best 

 

we need help at all positions except OC right now 

 

Mewhort is another average guy. But probably still the second best online talent   Shows how bad this online is

We could always trade AC for cap room. Hope for the best with Haeg at LT. Move Good back to RT. Move Thorton back to RG. Let Reitz be the 6th man. Prolly sign Vazquez, he's got more position flex.

That certainly isn't happening

With Mewhort gone our OLINE looks like it will once again struggle. What do we have have to lose to offer these 2 veterans incentive laden contracts?  

 

Nothing & it should be a major priority IMHO . Me need veteran help now in the past I remember hearing Grigson say it takes a couple of years for O-linemen to get up to speed these guys might be what it takes to bridge the learning curve ..

Everyone had a rough one last night dude. I wouldn't pin it on Castonzo. Kelly has been pretty good this preseason and he was schooled hardcore as well. Eagles defense is night and day better than last season.

I want help as much as the next person, but those guys aren't going to help us at all. They've been on their couches and we're a few days from live action.

They may be better once they get off their couches then our pro starters we have now.

I don't think luck can last year's while the line goes through ongoing learning curves.

While it may not have been clear I mentioned we need veteran help now & that these guys might be what it takes I was referring to Vasquez & Long bringing them in would help the young guys get past the learning curve . 

 

Sorry I was not more clear ..

I'll give you that one. Let's hope they can sort (some of) the problems out before Detroit.

 

I'd definitely look into any options, I just think those type guys (old, injured, unsigned) won't be of any assistance two weeks before the season.

Kelly is a rookie, we expect him to take some lumps.  Castonzo has looked good much of the preseason.  Small sample size, but has to regain form.

Eagles got pressure on 54.5% of Lucks drop backs last night and has gotten pressured on 40.6% of his drop backs this preseason.

 

I'm watching the Jax vs Cincy game so I'm not going to check right now but I thought Castonzo also gave up a sack vs Eagles to? PFF only has Castonzo as giving up 1 hurry vs Eagles

I thought AC gave up 2 sacks.

      I hope we keep Toppin, I didn't think we would. Paul George went to Philly for 4 years/212 Mill, so now we have them to deal with as well besides Boston, NY, and Milwaukee. I thought we were better than Philly before the George deal, not sure now.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By TheNewGuy · Posted

      Thank you for your response and thank you for enlightening myself regarding Partridge. I recall his signing but didn't know much about him until I joined this forum and read several of your posts speaking highly of him. Thank you!  I have researched him since then and have to agree with you, it is likely that his fingerprints were on this signing.    Davis' contract is such that there is no guaranteed money in his 2nd year, with a cap savings of nearly 6.5 million, so there is an out if needed. https://overthecap.com/player/raekwon-davis/8796    I have to think that his main responsibility is as Grover's back up...we all saw how much he was missed last season. Though, this is where Partridge comes in, there may be additional duties. One thing that struck me was when Partridge said (paraphrased) "that he could get Grover some more sacks.". Does that mean he plans to alter the DL scheme, and if so, could the same benefit apply to Davis? Not to mention @Douzer's thoughts of using both Davis and Grover on 3rd and short plus goal line situations...like you said, I am looking forward to watching it play out as well.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.
