Kenjon Barner with a 90+ Punt Runt Return TD. * Sigh

Was a damn good return, Philly special teams have been awesome last few years. Agholor also looking legit.

If Barner makes the squad does he count towards out comp pick formula?

 

No they cut him after we traded him so that's out of the picture now. He went to their PS last year after being unclaimed so he's theirs.

 

Edit: realized you're talking about comp picks and not the conditional 7th we traded him for... He never would've counted to the comp pick formula since he wasn't a free agent we traded him for a conditional 7th. Since they cut him we can't get that 7th. Doubt he even makes their squad anyways, they have many great returners above him.

 

Edit2: Actually he didn't even make their PS last year... They released him and signed him to a future/reserve contract after the season. Regardless, still doesn't affect us at all.

There was NO way Shula was ever going to use him right. Chip knows Barner from his college days and knows exactly how to use him. Don't read to much into it.

As for his punt TD, it was a good return, but I'd still rather have Ginn back there.

Oh please, stop ripping on Shula for no reason. Barner is not ever going to make any impact in the NFL at all. Extremely unlikely he even makes the Eagles' 53 man roster. If Chip knew how to use him so well, he wouldn't have cut him last year.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
