Eagles sign LeGarret Blount

[Sydla]

No they haven't, Their OL looked like garbage when LJ was suspended because they didn't have a good RT replacement and their interior sucked after releasing Mathis.

They had to start a rookie at RT who got better as the year went on. They also added some OG depth this offseason.

If you don't think they have improved their OL, you are just blind.

Cowboys Dline will have to bulk up!

Your not going to get much of a unbiased viewpoint on here with a patriots or Eagles player, but I will give it to you.

Blount is a good RB. But he is the type of guy that has to have holes. So I dont think he will do very well in Philly. But behind a line like Dallas, he would be a wrecking ball. I would kick McChicken and all of our RB's to the curb and take Blount as a backup. But you would need a back that could play 3rd down as the 3rd guy as he is not so great on passing downs.

ZEKE is Man

Between those two he had to make one guy miss. On both the front 7 was dominated at the los. Second one the line sold out to cut off the edge and overpursued . The weakside LB had a chance but he neglected to take on Brady to get to the ball and stopped.

Given the lack of talent on the Eagles interior line since they let Mathis go, I don't see him getting those same looks. If our front gets pushed around like that they deserve to get run on.

That's a fair point

So glad Claiborne and Wilcox walked away.

Wilcox took some crazy angles. Annoyed me watching him sometimes. He would have some good hits once and awhile

I think he'll take a step back not being with the Patriots. He has a role as a clock killing back used late with a lead--perfect for a team led by Brady.

His numbers won't be duplicated. What did he have, 16 or so TDs? Check him out before going to the Patriots. About 6 TDs and 600 yards a season. And now he's only older.

Same here, LP.
The guy could lay the wood at times, but his spacial awareness could be pretty comical.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

I'd love to have him on the Cowboys.

You mean to keep Gregory company? It certainly wouldn't be to take Zeke off the field.

 

[Chuck 54]

Blount had Tom "Holy Grail" Brady getting him into and out of the right running plays every down.

Now he has a second year Wentz.

He would have a role on this team. Zeke's not getting 100% of the snaps.

It would be naïve to not admit that Blount makes them better and fills a need they have. Fact is, their offense has more talent on it today than it did last year.

Of course that's not what I'm saying, but you appear to have taken the bait.
