Jay Ajayi trade to eagles **merged**

[Alexander]

Ugh.

 

[wilfred]

I hate the Eagles so much, I feel like the Eagles train is pulling away from the pack. I don't care who beats them, I just want them beat!!!!!

 

[Hardline]

I don't care what moves they make. They're still the eagles and will not win a super bowl. Let them load up. Just sweeter when they lose in the playoffs.

I'm guessing his knees are shot, he already had knee issues coming out of college and you can't have a year like he had last year and it not take a toll on them.

The defense wasn't the reason we went 13-3

The Cowboys were the #1 defense vs. the run last year. That was absolutely a part of their success.

 

[Gaede]

Oh dis bad

 

[xwalker]

Bro, no offence but you are consistently thinking the Eagles are better than they are. Remember these gems from 2015 (when they went 7-9)? Every year, man.

 

[Risen Star]

It could have been us. They're rewarded for their faith in him.

 

[bayeslife]

Well at least they won’t have any draft picks next year. Just have to voodoo magic them into blowin their shot at the superbowl

 

[Risen Star]

For a 4th round pick. Unreal.

Meanwhile our idiot front office just spins in their chairs pretending to be football guys.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Stupid Eagles...out here trying to get better. What are they thinking?

As I said, it’s not a bad trade but he is far from a proven commodity. He is Julius Jones going into his sophomore year to me.

I see your point, but I feel he is a good back. Not a complete 3 down type of guy, but a good runner who if has a small crease can get his legs churning and is a tough guy to get down once he is moving. Those games he rushed for over 200 yards the defense knew what was going to happen but couldn't stop it. The Pittsburgh game IIRC, was the first game the O-line had Pouncey, as his backup Steen was overwhelmed quickly and the line was relatively healthy.

Him and Gase clashed last year before week 1. So, I think Gase just wanted to make a statement that it's his team.

Meh, he was a beast for about 2 games. Was pedestrian the rest. He's being rated for those two games more than the majority of them.

Maybe, but the offensive line in front of him has either been injured or just out muscled. Tunsil last year got injured showering. Albert also missed time as well. Pouncey can't stay healthy and they have Bushrod at RG, who wanted to retire but came back. So, IMO, while some may overrate him for those games, other games there was just nothing he could of done. Zeke would of struggled in some of those games where he couldn't get going.

Sounds like you know the Fins a bit.
Who will start for them now? Drake or Williams?
I ask because I'm in a 20 team fantasy league... so always looking under rocks for help.

I'm assuming Drake, but he has had issues staying healthy. Drake they drafted last year in the 3rd round and IIRC got more snaps to end the Ravens game. Williams had a bigger role last year, but it seems they are trying to get Drake more involved this year.
That being said, I can't see either being productive.

 

[Risen Star]

I'm in football hell.

 

[Sydla]

Would you rather have our 2016 club this year or last year?

Tough question.

What I wanted was a 2017 team that was better and improved over the 2016 one. They didn't do that. And there is the source of my frustration.

 

[viman96]

So the birds can now roll ajay and a blount

 

[KingintheNorth]

Don't worry guys..when Ajayi scores a TD against us, Stephen Jones will come sprinting on the field yelling "we're fiscally conservative". The Ref's will review it and wave off the TD.

[THEHEREAFTER]

All this philly love is an absolute embarrassment. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Honestly. This move guarantees nothing for them. You lace up. Play football and see how it all unfolds. This is an all time low here at CZ and that's saying a lot.

 

[Silverstar]

Geez...sky sure is falling in this thread it seems.

Am I supposed to embrace the ledge or what?

 

[Denim Chicken]

So we lose our RB for 6 games and we're done.

Philly losses their LT & best LB for the year and they have the league on lock.

OK.....

 

[mugsybows]

"We like our guys"

every year. talking about how jeff heath has reached the next level
