Someone has to release the secret audio of Pittsburgh's call to Lemon. The guy is quite the character, wonder how his career plays out in Philly, lol.

Yeah he's.... different. It will definitely be interesting to follow how he blends in with the Eagles especially with AJ being the complete opposite lol.

Watched some of Lemon's interviews and cringed. Don't know if he has social anxiety, is just awkward in his own way, or if he's entering the NFL already enrolled in it's substance abuse program.

To be fair maybe he's just a quirky guy.

The Cowboys likely had no idea nor cared honestly. That wasn't the point.

Philly most likely wanted Lemon, called Dallas, Dallas offered to trade, that was it.

Pittsburgh assumed Dallas didn't want Lemon so they called him thinking they were getting him and then Philly traded up and picked him.

No one was out to get Pittsburgh.

It's just funny that the first team McCarthy goes to after the Cowboys is the one this happened to .. while on the phone with the guy they thought they were getting.

Jerry's team is getting some top end dynamics done this time.

I agree. Unless the Eagles just beat the Steelers to the punch there's a lot of assumptions here. The Cowboys could have been calling a lot of teams offering pick 20 and the Eagles jumped in late; possibly giving the Steelers no time to counter offer.

If Pittsburgh was on the phone to Lemon ahead of time, they had no idea Dallas was getting offers so I'm sure they didn't give one themselves so we should have tipped them off with an offer.

oh I think everyone knew Pittsburgh wanted a WR badly. Eagles jumped Pitt on purpose and deliberately. it is business at the end of the day. If it was Dallas that got jumped, you blame Dallas hence that is why we paid two 5ths to move up one spot from 12 to 11 with Miami so as to prevent that happening to us to get Downs. It happened couple times before and one of those teams that did it to us was Philly. Sorry Pittsburgh, you should of moved up with Dallas

Exactly. If the Steelers want to be mad at anyone, be mad at Philly. The Eagles wanted a WR, knew the Steelers at 21 wanted one, and simply jumped over them. It's what teams do all the time.

Like you said, Dallas moved up one spot for Downs before any other team got on the phone with Miami at 11 to get him.

You snooze, you lose, Steelers.

Lemon looks like a good player but man is he about as socially awkward as can be. It’s hard to tell what is going on but whatever it is, it’s weird.

Perhaps the Eagles figured getting a receiver that can’t read might be beneficial.

No they got Rico buckle up..lol
 
The Steelers should have just done what Dallas did. Just give us a fourth to move up one spot and get their guy.:huh:
 
Such a dumb view. Like the Cowboys would help the Eagles just for 2 fourths and a gig at the Steelers? They would’ve been on the phone to Pittsburgh and made them offer more than 2 fourths.

Pittsburgh was on the phone with Lemon telling him they were drafting him when Philly called with the news :D

While on the phone with the Steelers, he asks, "Why is Philly calling me?"

I guess the Steelers never heard the old phrase:" Never count your chickens before they hatch."
