Read an article today about Zack Ertz’s comments about the eagles’ loss yesterday and it mentioned he had a very tradable contract and a down year due to injury. I know he’s a little older than Olsen was, but Ertz was once one of the elite TEs in the game and has only been in the league 7 years so he’s not THAT old. If we could get him on the cheap thanks to a down year, we should be able to get at least one good contract out of him and sure up our one skill position weak spot.  Anyone have info that would contradict this idea?

Ertz has slowed down a ton. Not sure what his contract looks like but I wouldn’t go out of my way to target him. If it’s a relatively cheap contract and cheap to acquire could be worth a shot but I wouldn’t expect much even if we did get him.

If our offense continues not to value the TE as an offensive weapon aside from blocking...don't see the need to get a big name TE.

This is likely because we don't have any that are deemed worthy of being valued as an offensive weapon.

If we are trading for a Philly TE, I'd take Dallas Goedert.  Really was wanting to draft him in 2018...badly.  He's still on the uptick where Ertz is winding down.

Ding ding ding. Our tight ends suck. Why would you choose them over CMC/Davis, Moore, Anderson and Samuel? We watched Ian get smashed by corners half his size preventing him from making a first down. I would avoid them at all costs as well.

He’s the only one worth drafting.

He (Pitts) is the best for sure. 

I would not use a 2nd on Freiermuth or Jordan as they are projected.

However, I would use a projected 4th on Charlie Kolar. He is  6'6" 255 lbs. with a big wing span, runs good routes, has good hands, and is a willing blocker.

If you want to wait until later I completely agree. I just mean rounds 1-2.

There wasn't much to offer value from there. Honestly just a bunch of JAGs that could find bench space on another team and we wouldn't miss them. 

Ertz might be worth a flier...

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
