Some Iggles' Camp Stuff That Might Interest Cowboy Fans

[Jarntt]

Juan Castillo was my neighbor for seven years when I lived in Mt. Laurel. Four years of playing D1 football at Rutgers also introduced me to quite a few coaches and players. I coached Jeremiah Trotter and Jon Runyan's kids when they were young. I do know a lot of people from the area. A VP in the organization was coaching little league with me. Hell, I was born in Philly. I saw Erik Williams play when he was in high school.

I think my point went over your head

Let's focus more on the "born in Philly" part and I think you might get there...

I remember when Igglephans, Extremeskins, and CowboysZone were THE places to talk NFC East football.

Can’t pick the place of your birth. If it was three years sooner it would have been Sicily.

Roseman doesn't usually leave gaping holes on his starting roster unlike some other teams within the division...
He'll make a move to fill the hole before the season starts. IMO
Hopefully with a JAG.

Yes Washington and NY do a bad job at that.

2025 Stat Comparison. AJ was definitely more productive (more receptions, yards, TDs and YAC), but both had relatively similar yards per reception and average YAC per catch.

Stat	A.J. Brown (2025)	Hollywood Brown (2025)
Games Played	15	16
Targets	121	74
Receptions	78	49
Receiving Yards	1,003	587
Touchdowns	7	5
Yards Per Reception	12.9	12.0
Yards After Catch (YAC)	268	190
Avg. YAC Per Catch	3.4	3.9

Roles were different, though. A.J. was the Eagles' go-to guy, so he was drawing the best corner, the doubles, etc. Hollywood is a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver at most. A lot for Philly is going to come down to whether Davonte Smith can be a No. 1. He's got to draw the other team's top corner and beat him in order to force safety help.

Can't you tell?

Welcome!
You've increased the I.Q. level of this place.
Bot, what is a recipe for lemon-infused apple pie?
And what makes me so handsome?

its going to be a long season for them.

Hope so, and I could see it. Couldn't happen to a nicer team lol.

Hey remember when the Zeppellin crashed in New Jersey? That was cool too.

Sounds vaguely familiar, IIRC that was right around the last time the cowboys were in the NFCCG

I'm an Iggles fan, but I believe in sharing information.

Figured that not everybody would click the 'Ignore' button, and it's time I give back.

1. Don't look for key contributions from top draft picks Makai Lemon or Eli Stowers any time soon. Lemon missed both the spring practices and most of the current camp with an ouchy hammy. Regardless, I don't think they drafted him as a WR 2. Both he and TE Stowers (who's too light to block like a TE) are more chess pieces that can be effectively schemed by a creative OC. Jury's out on whether the Eagles have one.

2. Edge Jonathan Greenard has been similarly absent from practice. The Birds have decent depth at rush end, but, if they're gonna rack up huge sack #'s it's gonna have to be a team effort featuring the DT's, LB's and extended coverage by the CB's.

3. The Birds flat-out don't have a WR #2. They have several good WR 3's. But nobody who's gonna make a good D have to account for any of them.

4. Just don't know if Landon Dickerson is gonna make it through the year healthy. Been in and out of practice and considered retirement in the offseason. I honestly think the Tush Push took a toll on some of the OL's.

5. While Jihaad Campbell is a different type of player than Nakobe Dean, he looks poised to take Dean's spot and quite possibly outperform what Dean did last year.

6. The Birds almost certainly will trade either Tanner McKee or Andy Dalton before the season. They drafted a clipboard guy this year, and don't need both of them.

Thanks for the update!
