Eagles sign LeGarret Blount

[sideon]

It's not as good as the Pats, but Lane Johnson is no slouch. They were markedly better when he returned from his PEDS suspension last season.

But still, you're right Sideon

Lane Johnson is very good as is Peters, it's everyone else on the line that sucks. Shady McCoy had to do a lot of dancing in the backfield while he was there.

McCoy played in Philly over 2 years ago. They've improved their interior OL. Do they have Zach Martin and Frederick? No. But they don't have chopped liver up the middle anymore.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

their biggest problem is they have 1 year deals at their skill positions behind below avg OL. Zero continuity.

It's actually because they don't have a decent quality QB

 

[cowboy_ron]

I'd actually be scared of the Eagles if they had a QB

They may think the same thing after this season when all he looks to be is Blake Bortles 2.0.........remember how they were when they signed Chip Kelly thinking he was going to reinvent the NFL with his little gimmick 5 play playbook along with flyswatters and boom boxes at TC......whew, do they ever know talent in Philly..lol

Andy Reid Jr still won't run the ball. Sproles will get more snaps on offense.

Eagles ranked 10th in the NFL in rushing attempts last season. Their problem was not having receivers. Looks like they've addressed both areas...more threats outside and a much better short yardage attack.

 

[Proof]

Philly sucks.

 

[cowboy_ron]

This makes that eagle offense much more effective. Let's not pretend it doesnt. I'd love to have him on the Cowboys.

lol, for what? I wouldn't trade DMac or Morris for him.

lol, They will always blame the receivers instead of Wentz throughout his career.....including the passes that sail 20 yards over their heads or the worm beaters 5 yards short.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

If eagles only had a QB they would be set on offense

That should get a rise out of Risen Star aka President of the Carson Wentz Fan Club

Per NFL.com.
Cowboys Dline will have to bulk up!

That is not good But not the end of the world--they still go down to the Cowboys.

 

[dallasdave]

he'll be a dud now that hes not on the pats

I sure hope so

 

[CowboyStar88]

Well the Steelers spend a second on Bell the same year so you would think they wanted Bell to be the guy.

Bell and Blount got caught smoking pot and Blount was cut shortly after.

Sounds like a Jay and silent bob, blunt man and Chronic movie.

"Bell and Blount got caught smoking pot in Blunt's burg"

Interesting. Too bad he ended up in the NFCE....why did the Patriots not want to keep him...wrong side of 30? Anyway, the Eagles will find a way to lose...thats always comforting.

 

[speedkilz88]

well the pats get a comp pick now

Free agent signings at this point to not count for or against.

Blount needs to beef up his receiving skills quickly so Captain Flat-pass can get him involved.

Always glad he left the stealers and stuck it to them in the playoffs

 

[alicetooljam]

Blount was terrible when he was picked up as a FA by the steelers. He has only been good with the patriots. I am not overly concerned with him on the Eagles.

Agreed, hes only shown any kind of motivation with one team in his career...not scared...

 

[Bullflop]

Sorry to say Blount is a threat to provide a significant lift to the Philly offense.

Here's hoping that their OL won't prove as helpful to him as the Pat's OL was.

If so, our front seven would be fairly challenged to contain their ground game.

 

[Satchel89]

They'll have to change that team song to "High Eagles, High!"

As far as I'm concerned, a fat, 30 year old RB on the field and Sproles off it is a good thing.

Exactly
