I'd love a monsoon game as a viewer but that probably wouldn't help us tonight, so hopefully drizzle.

 

    What is the difference? Do we play better in a light rain, as opposed to a down pour? Do the Iggles play well in said down pour? I mean, that is quite the statement. Just wondering what you based it on?

Monsoon football is fun to watch is my guess.

   It can be fun to watch. IMO, we are built to play like that. Hog Mollies on the line. Big bruising back, with CmC flitting around. Big WRs who can muddle down the field. Seems like we would play well in the rain. 

 

    We also have a down hill attacking Defense. I mean, dang. Rain? Monsoon? Bring it on mfers.

 

    But @thomas96 stated that is would not be good for us. I just wondered what that was supposed to mean?

I think more wet conditions favor the run game rather than the passing game and amazingly this year right now our passing game is the strength and our run game weaker, while the Eagles have a strong run defense and weaker pass defense. Ultimately though it's a negligible impact for the most part but if the two teams really are as evenly matched as some think, then it could matter (I honestly think we're much better than them so that it won't matter but who knows).

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
