Heading into the offseason, remember one thing

[CowboyoWales]

Oh I read ya, bro. We need a lot.

But you don't have to be complete team to contend these days.

Agree, but when you don't have secure fundamentals it impacts pretty much everything, both sides of the ball.

Yes

Yes, it is amazing how good your Defense becomes when you rush for 3,000+ yards.

Their offense did nothing yesterday, and yet here we are today. I do agree that it certanly 100% helps when you have a rushing game, but Filthy has built a world class defense (including DC), and went out to fill the void on offense. All this despite question marks at HC and OC. If you are doubting that they do not have an elite D then you haven't watched them play football or watched what others see. I will flip this around and say if it wasn't for their elite D, they would not have the rushing success that they have. Like it or hate it like I do, the Eagles are loaded...but if they lose in the playoffs it won't be on their D

Yes. The skill positions have been allowed to atrophy. What's worse than making Dak Prescott the highest paid QB in the league? Surrounding him with mediocre talent.

They need multiple upgrades in the skill positions. More than two.

I doubt our crack front office will agree. They think we are stacked and only injuries held us back this year.

This has been a problem since Coop left and Gallup fell off the map. Lamb and no one else. Pollard was still injured half the year last season as well.

So you pony up the money for Dak and you give him Tolbert and Brooks and Zeke? Lol

 

[Creeper]

Philly has a strong team all over. Their weakest position if probably QB.

But make no mistake, the Eagles take their offensive and defensive lines very seriously and that is why they are at the top statistically in offense and defense. It is clear the Eagles focus on these areas. They draft for it, they sign players for it and they seem to know what they need before they will need it.

Of course it doesn't hurt that the may some trades to acquire addition first round picks. Dallas has allow the talent on both lines to deteriorate over the year and the result if what we saw this season. But they also tried to get away with cheap RBs, cheap TEs and cheap WRs, with the exception of CeeDee.

I should note that even though the Eagles signed Jalen Hurts he is never more than a $47 million CAP hit until the first voidable year in his contract. I suspect the EAgles will find a way out of that before his deal is done. In the meantime, from now until the end of his deal, Daks is never less than a $61 million CAP hit in any year of his contract. He if $90 million this year! That's almost double the highest impact of Hurts's deal.

The absurdity of Dak's contract is going to haunt them until he is gone.

If you don't understand complimentary football I can't help you.

Someone's hacked Chasing6's account. That's way too sensible a comment to come from him.

Wow, you must still think Trance is a Phenom.

and as with all your replies to me or most on here, you don't understand what you are referencing. I did in fact state that rushing/defense are inter related, you are the one who stated having 3,000 yards rushing helps, without explaining how a team gets to have that success.

 

[Chasing6]

But that still requires a good run blocking O-line, which we don't have as yet.

Jerry has neglected the trenches on both sides of the ball. Trenches don't typically sell jerseys, but the win Championships.

Correction: It's going to haunt us until he's gone.
