I don’t know about you guys but the more I think about it the more I believe this is the most talented roster the eagles have put together in my years of being a fan. IF Wentz can stay healthy sky’s the limit.
I know it’s not directly related to this years draft but I think Djax is going to open up the field a ton for a the rest of the offense and Goeddert will be an unstoppable force with he and Ertz on the field.
Possibly on O, but the D is looking like a dumpster fire EVERY day. Look at some of the recent signings the past few days. When you see a "Ashantay Brown" coming in to possibly be a starting LB, not good. Folks are concerned about "Matt Leblanc" - a guy off the street last year - being healthy for God's sake. We better hope the O can avg. 30+ a week.
I was listening to WIP this morning and I think it was Sign Man John calling in. you could hear the optimism coming through the phone. I feel the same way. However, another huge feeling I have as we head into the season is RELIEF.
I am still so fucking grateful for that super bowl win. It's like the pressure is off for the rest of my life and I can just now focus on the positives and not worry about the 'what ifs'. Just enjoy the eagles and what should be an excellent season. I seriously think this team could win it all. You know Wentz wants it so bad.

How do you figure? Didn’t WE win the Super Bowl with Darnell elerbee at LB? My point is these guys don’t need pro bowlers at LB to have a competitive defense. I don’t think gruger-hill makes or breaks the defense. The line is going to be tops in the league if barnette returns to form and there’s better depth in the secondary. I can agree that the D probably isn’t as good as the 2004 super bowl year and I understand the concern but I think to say it’s a dumpster fire is a stretch.
I can just enjoy the seasons now,,I thought Linebacker was a point of need during the Draft, and we did very little to address that...Maybe we get a cap casualty vet@ the end of camp. But "cough" we could do better there"

IMO Westbrook was much better than Howard. But the 04 team had nothing behind Westbrook at RB and wasn't balanced. This team has a very good RB committee and a better interior OL, especially if Brooks is healthy. I expect them to actually be able to run the ball against good teams, something FF teams never did.
I think this team is better on paper. They have more legit receiving threats than can be on the field at the same time. They won't, however, benefit from the NFC being as pitiful as it was in 04.

John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.
