I'm not concerned at all about Chandler Jones. He's not perfect but he's the best non-McGinest pass rusher Belichick has had here. He can play DE, DT, OLB, drop into coverage, cover kicks, play on the field goal unit.

You don't need a line when you have nimble feet Foles.
Id love to see Dion on this team and it had been rumored for a while but now with Suh on board they probably want to see what Dion can do.
Ninkovich played the most snaps in the NFL because Belichick loves him. I don't see someone coming in taking any significant snaps from him if he's healthy.
You could put me as defensive end with my bad ankle and I'd still get 6 sacks with Suh in the middle. Dion stats will go up guaranteed.
Naming districts after posters would be easier than tracking individuals around.
This would be the Lunchbox District, with Lunchbox driving his dad's boat:
speed 2 recreation ?
really? injury prone, gets bullied occasionally, targeted in the run game, and really hasn't flashed. maybe it's just the lack of consistency with the different injuries, but I've been disappointed after his quick start.

We are going to misuse his talents and waste him just like all the others!

"Free agent shocker: Frank Gore reconsiders potential/pending deal with the #Eagles, Im told." - @RapSheet
Say what you will, but Gotor's leadership has kept this thread from going the way of the NBA and soccer threads
I just need the Cotls to sign Dre. I have no idea why he would go to GB to be a WR3 unless he really is just desperate to play with a good QB for once in his life

He's not injury-prone. Players are allowed to suffer injuries without being "prone" to it. He played basically 99% of snaps the year before, give him a break. And he hasn't flashed? I just don't agree. He's gotten better as a pass rusher every year before his development was stunted this season. He's targeted in the run game because Ninkovich is the best run stuffing 4-3 end in football. You can choose to go at Ninkovich, at the 600 pounds of Wilfork and Siliga, or at Jones. It happens.

No idea why the Eagles went after him anyways, but that is kinda embarrassing
Wonder if there's a chance SF upped their offer to him to kinda stem the fan anger. Probably not.
Probably has more to do with the Eagles not knowing what the fuck they're doing right now.
Nah.
Probably has more to do with the Colts outbidding the Eagles after the Eagles already had a deal. Whatever

Iupati coming, awwwww yeah, Keim doing work behind the scenes! We can afford one guy to be lousy at pass protect when all the others are solid to great at it (assuming we upgrade C which I'm pretty sure we will). We DESPERATELY needed better run blocking and RG was a top 3 need coming into this off season. Iupati is just what the doctor ordered! I'm curious to see the years and numbers but not too many guards break the bank. Yes, I know he plays LG but so does Cooper. One of the two will be moving over and either way it will be well addressed.
3 of his last 4 years he missed chunks oft time due to injury. hopefully hes just been unlucky. he also suffered a torn labrum in the hip this year which can crop up again so hopefully it doesnt have long term effects.
i dont mean hes never flashed more that he hasnt quite lived to my expectations, which were probably unfairly high. that being said hes not the gamechanging pass rusher i had hoped he would become. hopefully he takes a step fprward this season.
also of course every chain has a weakest link, however chandlers weakness was glaring, enough so that his value as a pass rusher was offset. he reminded me of osi on that giants line.
C'mon, dude. Jones has only played in 3 seasons. He played 14 games in 2012, 16 games in 2013 (playing 1,124 of 1,148 snaps, 98%- an NFL high on the DL), and 10 games in 2014. You're just flat out wrong, there's no other way around it.
You can think what you want. I don't know what to tell you. The Patriots are not going to find a better pass rusher than Chandler Jones in the draft or free agency. If you don't see the value that he brings to the team, that's a shame.
I prefer the 3.5% ghost of Revie.
i see the value hes not a high end pass rusher.
also you.don't count injuries in college?

great run blocker, below average in pass protection!
I hope not. The right move is to let him go.
Seems like a high guarantee for someone who has yet to get a full season of snaps but he had great production in the time he played. Very versatile with 38 quarterback hits last year. Allen had 32 all year in a starting role. McPhee is only 26.

Below average all around, but looked worse than he probably was playing next to one of the worst guards in the league

my only beef is we might have lost maclin and mccourty because of Gore... at least when it comes to the garunteed. either way I dont care about Gore but Having garunteed tied up to him him might have screwed us elsewhere

Is it draft yet

Chip doing work.So now the Eagles don't have a back either.
No desean, no maclin, no mccoy, no solid QB.
I'd still take Foles over Wilson, but whatever. We aren't going to have him either by the start of the regular season.

Yeah, I was referring to him when I said one lousy guy at pass protection. It doesn't matter with all the other guys we have and the guy we had playing the position last year was complete trash anyway. This is a huge upgrade and our weakness was run blocking not pass. 31st in rushing last year, yikes! We get a stud RB which I think is in the cards whether we trade for AP or draft Gordon, we're in business to be scary!
Who's talking about Wilson?
You said we have no solid QB. I'd consider Wilson a solid QB, and Foles better than him at the same time.
Lmao

Wait....what? Are you the same guy that said he'd take Stafford over Tannehill? Are we in some bizzaro world!?
Heh I suppose, you're entitled to your opinion of course my brother.
I wonder if others in Eagles GAF believe this as well
Its 2 different things, stafford and tannehill is debatable despite his regression. wilson is significantly better than foles.
