Between their secondary and now this they are toast.

Don’t forget Dallas G out for a month minimum.

Dean only started 4 games all year. They are already used to playing without him. He didn’t exactly elevate the D when he did play. It’s possible the Eagles have over-valued him

Don't do me like that, man. Which Dallas guard is out for a month, what did I miss? Oh, I see.

I can’t spell his stupid last name! Just glad his dad is a Cowboys fan! Haha

Was Dean really making a difference though?

Goeddert is the injury that will make a considerable difference IMO.

He had 61 snaps

Dean sucks in coverage. Linebackers are a weak link for them but they get by because of that front.

They're just out of bodies

Nice, I see what you did there

Not sure what your point is. Yes… He came into this season with expecting to be the starting LB and call the D plays. He got hurt early in the year and missed multiple games. When he returned, he didn’t exactly light it on fire.

I had hopes for him, but they were cautiously optimistic. There’s a reason he dropped in the draft. He played very well in Georgia surrounded by all those guys, but he’s undersized.

This injury is not like the Eagles losing Jalen Carter or Hasan Reddick on D…it’s not even close to being in the neighborhood. It does affect their depth, however… But nothing much more than that.

Y’all remember when everyone freaked out over the Eagles drafting him?

yeah was about to say this. they are so potent along the DL, most opposing OL can't hold up to allow the QB to expose their pass D.

Nope. Not at all. Gonna be interesting to see how they handle these next few games they have to see Josh, Purdy, Mahomes and Geno….Purdy and Geno need to fight for playoff berths but not optimistic lol.

Ditto with Rashad Evans, who eagles cut (per his request? ) ...before we picked him up.

Yep Evans is another one. You sign Evans for his tackling though not coverage skills.

He’ll be back for our rematch, though!

Not sure about that…. It’s possible, though
