Nothing matters until the pads go on in training camp.
After four decades of following the Eagles, I've learned to dismiss every "feel good" story that comes out of practices in shorts.

This team is a legit super bowl contender on paper.
It is imperative they get a bye. They are very tough to beat at home and have been under Doug.

Heard that this morning. Was dying. Can’t get enough of the Pope. I also listen to podcasts at 2x speed and it makes him sound like that much more of a lunatic.
Btw the Sean Avery interview on Boomer’s Show was pretty good.

I hate this team
Look at what my work email just got that I could buy. Christ, if I lived in the States, I could sell these to you all! Out of curiosity, what would a t-shirt like this go for in Philly?
Looks like a $5 shirt you'd buy outside tye stadium that won't fit and the logo will be gone after like three watches.Look at what my work email just got that I could buy.

I do like it and have bought many of those $5 shirts.

Well that did not take long! The offer was for $5. You know your shirts!

Looks like the favorite to start with Bradham at LB. I don't know anything about him apart from what's on his page: Zach Brown Stats | Pro-Football-Reference.com

He was downright excellent in 2018 and the first half of 2016, just good in 2017 and the second half of '16. Very good in coverage for an ILB. Great tackler, but it took him time to get there. Same with his run fits, which are now a strength. If you like physicality, well:

It make zero sense that this guy just signed a 1x3.
He’s a legitimate starting LB. Hicks just got paid out the ass and Brown is sitting around waiting for a job.

I wonder if Howie, will get more guys
Ndcemdieche of cardinals is also declined for a 5th yr. OT Iefedi is also being declined by seattle.
we might be able to get more talent at a value rate.
Also I noticed this coaching staff is very good at fixing players flaws and getting them going again.

Aren’t the 5th year options for next year?
Also, if the rumors are true about the NFL having an uncapped year, there would be no point to carry over any space
Makes me think there will be a cap because then Howie would have spent more I would assume?

It's basically Howie's signature move.
If you think about the importance of drafting mid-late round guys it's basically to have cheap depth. Howie instead uses those picks in trades and offsets the impact by rolling in cheap vet depth. There's the risk that it won't really work like with Ngata, but it worked with Long and Robinson etc. It's at least comforting to know that he has a system for a addressing the lack of depth picks. Just need to continuously hit in the first 3 rounds to find the bulk of your starters.

Yep. They have a clear plan of attack as to where they need bodies versus starters and approach them completely differently. It's one of the reasons I was so surprised they screwed up with their Safety depth last year, but that was probably a misevaluation of Corey Graham more than systemic failure. They don't draft positions to have bodies anymore, which was a huge step in the right direction.
When you take that approach, it does tend to lead you down safer early paths once you get outside of the top 7-10 players, which is not my favored approach until the mid 20s or so, but I do understand it.
It's become a big talking point as to which positions are worth paying, but the real meat of the issue here to me is which units are better evaluated by the worth of their best players versus their worst? Offensive Line and the Secondary are the clearest cases of worst mattering most, two areas where they've relentlessly built systemic depth in the last 2 years. They're on top of these trends.
