Said no one, ever…..
Said the pro bowl voters. Dickerson got more votes than Smith. Dickerson has never not made the probowl. He's clearly better. Smith is pretty good though...just a bit soft. Not a mean SOB like LD


Besides...question was "who would start for the eagles". Meaning...who would their coaches insert as starters in their scheme and team. Question isn't who YOU think is better. Gotta think at a little higher level than you are....if possible

The super bowl is a critical game for him. It's the last hurdle he can't seem to clear.
To be fair he was amazing in the SB and took the lead the last time he was on the field, against the best in the game. Hard to ask for more than that. Although the fumble was a killer I think that was returned for a TD if I recall.

Smith had to cover for Guyton most of the year( impossible task) while playing two positions. Dickerson blocked for Barkley.
That makes zero sense, OG’s don’t cover for OT’s. Tackles are either on an island or they may get a TE or RB chip to help in pass protection. In the run game combo blocks occur with the C way more often than the T.

Um. Yes they do. When the LT wiffs, goes the wrong way, holds etc.., it affects the left side of the line. Tyler covered a lot of that, not all, but a lot. Did you not watch any Cowboy games this year?

That has zero impact on how the OG grades out. And an OG isn’t changing his assignment mid play because the OT got beat or went the wrong way. You are focused on your assignment, you don’t freelance.

Played line in college and did some coaching, never did I ever worry about what the guy next to me was doing. **** happens way too fast for that, you execute your assignment and assume your teammates are doing the same.

I believe Lamb would thrive on the Eagles as the slot receiver. AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith would be the outside WRs.
Cee Dee would be that rarity--a 1,000 yard slot receiver in that offense. How in the hell are you going to cover Cee Dee, Smith, Brown, and still keep a check on Barkley and running Hurts? That's a potential GOAT offense, and probably a GOAT receiving group.

Dak, Tyler Smith, CeeDee, Ferguson on Offense
It's a different defense, but trying to matchup both as a 4-3: Micah, Tank, Overshown, one or two CBs, possibly one of our crappy safeties over Blankenship?

Ferguson isn't starting over Goedart.

We beat them just one year ago handily. So a lot can change in one offseason.
Yeah this eagle talks getting old people keep leaving out the fact that they just played our backups Washington and Philly both got to play the Dallas practice squad mostly all backups not all I know it doesn't sound like in nothing but an excuse but that's the truth we had the most injuries in the entire NFL and they were a lot to keep players at one position or another it was almost completely destroyed playing with practice squad players as starters it's tough to win in this league especially against a team loaded like the eagles but Washington struggled to beat us so the gaps are not as big as people wanna make because the injuries matter yes they matter they may not be an excuse to some but they are real factual reasons there was an appearance that the eagles were more dominant I'm sorry but I've seen healthy Cowboys versus healthy eagles and it's typically a split the rest of the NFC can't even compete with Dallas when they're fully healthy...

Excuses, excuses. Compare Cowboys starters head to head against Eagles starters. Who on the OL would make the Eagles team (maybe T. Smith). Skill positions only CeeDee could make an argument, but he and AJ Brown are similar enough and DeVonta Smith is a different player. On the DL not one Cowboy beats the Eagles except Parsons at Edge. In the defensive backfield no Cowboy player is an upgrade over the Eagles. A healthy Overshown could play, potentially over Nakobe Dean but not Baun. That's it.

That’s the Super Bowl he choked in the fourth quarter
How did he choke. In the 4th quarter he was down 8, drove them down the field and scored while also running in a 2 point conversion to tie the game. How is that choking?
