"We Let Foles Go... But We Still Hit The Jaccpot Cuz" 2019 Philadelphia Eagles Off/Pre-Season Thread

Dont count on that, altho with Curry the eagles run defense just got better.

You like Okereke from Stanford at all?

He's a later round guy that could be pretty good as a run defender I think with potential to develop for later on.

Haven't had a real downhill guy like him in a while.

I was always get excited about these late round guys that have probably a .1% of getting drafted by us lol

I havent watched him but i read about him a week ago, i remember the scouting report was generally positive but the knock was his tackling angles can be poor at times and his coverage ability is soso but he has good instincts and plays fast

I just dont see them drafting a linebacker this year...i think the new kid LJ Fort will get some burn and he may takeover Nigel role next season since Nigel will be a cap casualty

curry a pass rusher that's it he sucks at playing the run. if they let Nigel walk besides the dline we will not be a physical defense at all. with Barnett and curry coming back i think that will fill the void of Bennett leaving. the NFC is about to be filled with good running backs when guice comes back for Washington we better be ready.

Curry was really good against the run his last year in Philly.

That's the main reason they signed him. He's far more of a run defender than a pass rusher

thats 100% false. Curry was drafted as a situational pass rusher and he was good at that role but didnt see the field bc he was bad against the run, overtime he honed his skills and was one of the highest graded run defenders when the eagles won the SB..the problem is he isnt that great at rushing the passer now. Nigel will be on the team in 2019 but there is a chance they cut him next year because he will count around 9 million against the cap...they could restructure his deal or LJ Fort could be an insurance policy. He played ILB very well last year for the Steelers when he got chances to start when Shazier got hurt

A 2020 6th round pick? What kinda finesse is that

We finally got a legit 1000 yd back

He's not a 3 down back but we don't need him to be

I guess Ajayi is officially gone... looked like he would get resigned for a moment there...

cant be mad at this move, i wanted the eagles to draft him originally.

Why the bears give up on him tho for a 2020 conditional pick.?

Eagles would still be wise to still draft a RB high tho

From my bears brehs, he doesn't fit the scheme that nagy is running and towards the end of the season Cohen was getting equal to somewhat more touches


But da gawd does it again
