He couldn't beat out Andre Johnson in training camp...a guy the team invested a 2nd round pick in.

Andre Johnson might be a hall of famer though.

Wait, are you really citing a wide receiver that had terrible motivation issues with the Eagles and only found true success after leaving Philadelphia? Oh god, even your fantasies are fucking terrible.

hahahahahaha

 

[FloydtheFathead]

The Eagles getting incredibly desperate before the season even begins?

I like this a lot too

I think DGB just didn't really apply himself.

Again story of his life

I'm glad the Eagles have enough depth on the line to make a trade like this and get weapons for a franchise QB like Bradford.

Adam Gase says Dolphins DL vets are "fired up" to get out there vs. Dallas offensive line.

Oh can't wait until they get embarrassed....

 

[JABEE]

I like the move.

 

[MechDX]

I like the move.

Im reality it isnt a bad move at all. DGB is actually younger than Wentz and you got him for a back up o lineman. Only thing I question is why not reinforce the o line? Just my opinion but you should always build up your o line first and foremost.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Can we stop practicing with these cunty Bears? Dude's are straight up japping all practice and just leveled Jules in a non contact practice.

This is their super bowl probably.

You can't trade a shit o-line for a better o-line. The only way to back it up is to trade another position or sign a free agent. I imagine the Eagles are going to make Will Beatty an offer at this point.

The Eagles just have to hope they get lucky on the waiver wires. It has been their destiny for awhile. Kelly probably would have been cut anyway.

It's going to be a rough line without Lane Johnson.

Well the Eagles do have two free roster spots, so I think the plan is to pick up some depth after teams make training camp cuts. Obviously those guys aren't gonna be starters, but it's something. As for building up the line, I agree. That was Reid's philosophy, if you don't know what to draft, draft in the trenches. I think he imparted that to Doug too, since we've brought in 3 O linemen since March, compared to only Lane Johnson in Kelly's 3 years. I think next years draft we'll use the 2nd on a RB/WR, but in the 3rd grab more OL depth

DGB should have never been drafted that high. Teams put too much value in his physical stats thinking he'd be the next Megatron when it was easy to see he didn't have the drive or character to succeed it in the NFL.

Correct you are.. He should have dropped after his issues at Mizzou and his declaring for the draft after being on Sooners scout team for a year should have probably given some people pause

There will be eight official crews this week. Fewer missed calls or accidentally bumping into players running routes?

 

[squicken]

Wow. Interesting trade. Kinda risky giving up depth from our already paper thin offensive line. But Green-Beckham instantly becomes the most physically gifted WR on our roster. Worth taking a gamble on him.

Kelly is worthless, imo. He's a bad backup. DGB has the talent to be good, but his issue (on the field) is that he doesn't give a fuck

Yeah I don't think people understand how bad Dennis Kelly is. He's a street free agent talent. Totally replaceable. If they cut DGB in three weeks I wouldn't care. I'd rather the Eagles churn the waiver wire than let Kelly try and block in a regular season game

Yeah, the more I think about the move, the more I like it. I forgot how bad Kelly was last year, I think I blocked much of last season out of my mind, lol. They can sign one of these veteran FA o-lineman or grab someone off the wire during post-camp cuts and they'd be just as good or better than Kelly. They've essentially given up nothing for a guy with first round talent.

Yep. Here's a video of every target DGB had last season.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-CwGEu6fqQ

He can catch and he can out leap/leverage DBs. It's worth taking a chance on him.

Exactly, there's zero downside here. Kelly was terrible and shouldn't be on the field. Worst case, DGB continues to be what he has been and never reaches his full potential. He gets cut and the Eagles are only out a lineman that should've been cut anyway. But there's the chance that he develops and gets his shit straight. But even if DGB flames out I'm still good with this trade

Please visit our city so we can afford the new stadium.

You know why the Walking Dead was shot here? Because there&#8217;s very little to do to much of the city to get it into zombie apocalypse mode. The Falcons&#8217; most notable accomplishment was ruining the utterly beautiful 1998 Vikings season with one of the most horseshit finishes in NFC Championship history. They followed that up by having their NFL Man of the Year safety get arrested for soliciting a prostitute the night before the Super Bowl.

The city of Atlanta hasn&#8217;t had a championship parade since 1995. Now that Cleveland won one with the Cavs, we are next. We are the most tortured sports town in America. Yay.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, then does it make a sound? If the Falcons complete a fourth-quarter two-minute drill comeback in the final seconds of the game, then would anyone notice? The stadium is usually empty by that point. (Twice my best friend has wanted to leave before last-second field goals to win the game.)

In 2013, the Falcons hosted a Monday Night game against the Jets. The guys behind us were REALLY drunk, but I tried to be polite to them anyway. During the third quarter, my buddy went to the restroom. The guys behind us could barely stand. I stood up to watch the game, and one of them fell into me, causing me to fall two rows ahead and plow into an old man.

&#8220;I&#8217;m SO sorry!&#8221; I said to the old guy.

&#8220;Leave now or I&#8217;m calling the cops,&#8221; he said.

I was a little buzzed myself and I said, &#8220;I&#8217;m leaving.&#8221; I grabbed by buddy and we bolted, afraid our season tickets would be revoked.

When I got home, I turned on the TV. The Braves were knocked out of the playoffs. Minutes later, I watched the Falcons lose on a last-second drive to Geno goddamn Smith. And just for good measure, the Hawks also lost in a preseason game that night. I cried into my Atlanta Thrashers and Flames jerseys because I am a manchild.

At the next game, the season ticketholders who sit near us said those drunk fans eventually fell into the old man again, and they were all arrested.

This team didn&#8217;t have back-to-back winning seasons till 2008 and 2009, and no back-to-back playoff appearances till 2011 and 2012. We were founded in 1966, the same year as the Miami Dolphins.

Our team managed to blow a 21-0 lead in London to the goddamn Detroit Lions in one of the most fucked-up calls in NFL history.

The most high-stakes game the Georgia Dome hosts every season is the fucking Peach Bowl.

I would make a joke about idiotic our fan base is. But let&#8217;s be honest: We&#8217;re constantly outnumbered by opposing fans. And I guarantee you it&#8217;s rarely people flying in from out of town. The opposing fans usually live in Gwinnett or Cobb counties. We&#8217;re not fairweather, we&#8217;re just a transplant city.

One of the elephants in the room that no one wants to admit is that race still plays a big factor in Atlanta, the birthplace of the modern-day KKK (at Stone Mountain, which itself is the world&#8217;s largest bas relief carving in the world and a memorial to Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson, and Robert E. Lee). The self-proclaimed &#8216;city too busy to hate&#8217; has a lot of racial problems &#8212; The Braves moving to Kobb Kounty, where Leo Frank was lynched; the Hawks&#8217; e-mails showing the ownership wanted a &#8220;less urban&#8221; environment; segregated proms (that aren&#8217;t school-sponsored but still); Confederate flags, etc.

Fuck Atlanta.

The last decent hit made by someone from Atlanta was on an Outkast album.
