Najee Goode (LB, 2013-17) Special teams regular scored two TDs off opponent miscues: vs Giants in 2013, and Patriots in 2015. Helped snuff out the Pats last-ditch kickoff return in Super Bowl LII.

Just made this video, see what Hurts tendencies are at times. No this isn’t a troll post lol

Something we’ve heard for months now is that this upcoming season is a prove it year for Jalen Hurts. My initial response to that is…"Of course it is. Every single season in the NFL is a prove it year for every single player. With the average NFL career only lasting about 3-4 years. Easy come, easy go and "Not For Long" is a very real mantra." Beyond the overarching nature of every player having to prove their worth every single season. When it comes to Hurts specifically, I’m noticing the discourse around him keeps failing to mention why Hurts himself has very likely been in no rush to enter contract negotiations.

To date, Hurts has 111.5 million in career earnings after 6 seasons in the league. With another 51.5 million fully guaranteed for the upcoming 26/27 season. And another 22 million of his 51.5 million earnings for the 27/28 fully guaranteed. Which means Hurts has 185 million in guaranteed career earnings going into Spring 2027. That also doesn’t include his NIL earnings from college and his endorsement earnings over the years. In short, he is already set for life and has generational money.

When it comes to why Hurts himself is very likely in no rush to enter contract negotiations, folks need to zoom out and look at the broader QB market. All the constant noise around this being a prove it year for Hurts ignores that he still has 3 years remaining on his current deal. With his contract set to expire after the 28/29 season. You know what other QB’s currently have their contracts expiring after the 28/29 season? Dak Prescott, Jordan Love, Jared Goff, Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Bo Nix, Malik Williams, and Michael Penix Jr. The piece that’s constantly missing around Hurts, and hence the title of my post, is he’s currently set to hit free agency when a bunch of other prominent QB’s are as well. And we all know how contracts work in the league, particularly with QB’s. Hurts has no incentive at this point to be the first QB in that current free agency class to re-set the market. Because his comparative earnings to his QB peers will very quickly look much smaller with the inevitable escalation of earnings.

Gonna miss Ojomo after this year, one of the best late round picks we’ve had in the last few years, hope he has a Milton-esque year and gets the 💰

Zack Baun (LB, 2024- ) Proved to be the Eagles’ best do-it-all linebacker since Seth Joyner. Tackle machine punctuated brilliant debut year with an AP1 and Super Bowl LIX INT of Patrick Mahomes.

Hugh Douglas (DE, 1998-2002, 2004) 54.5 sacks as an Eagle always prompted exultant cheer of “HUUUUGH” from the Philly faithful. Three time Pro Bowler earned AP1 honors in 2000.

I know that we will be seeing some Shanny Style Wide zone. And I am gladly expecting an uptick in Duo as well. But boy o boy, please don't forget that we have strong personnel for mid zone. We run it right or left, under center, from Gun, and Pistol all well. On half of these, Dickerson could barely move and it was still effective. Steen was surprisingly effective on this play also. And if teams decide to slant on early downs to take the run away, it just bounces outside nicely.

Thanks for Viewing. Go Birds!!!! I can almost taste the season.

PS: 1) Oops the 4th Raiders play is actually WZ and 2) I know that on the Shotgun examples it looks like Barkley is on a downhill A gap path. But that's just to throw the D off. It's Mid zone all the way and 3) the last Bears example might be a form of duo, which they also run well and we will likely see more of in the new offense. I made a Duo Packers post several weeks ago here: Duo may be coming to town

Has anyone received any info on our “gift” this year? Trying to make sure I haven’t missed the email. I feel like it’s usually out by now for pickup dates in August.

> PHILADELPHIA — Nick Sirianni discovered ChatGPT this offseason.

> It’s his sixth season as the Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach, now longer than any stop in his NFL coaching career, and the stories are beginning to repeat themselves. How many times can he preach his “tough, detailed, together” mantra before it feels like a rock star playing the greatest hits on tour?

> That’s why Sirianni logged into the artificial intelligence chatbot on a Monday in June — a program he knew so little about that he couldn’t get the name right — and began his research with a prompt: “Give me a great relentless effort true sports story.”

> This rabbit hole is how Sirianni learned about Anthony Robles, an Arizona State wrestler born with one leg who won a national championship in 2011. Sirianni planned to incorporate the anecdote into a speech to the team, a way to tell an old message in a new way.

> There’s still room for the greatest hits. During his first year with the team, he shared a story about Emil Zatopek, a Czech long-distance runner who won three gold medals at the 1952 Olympics. Only seven players remain in the locker room from that day. He can also reframe other lessons he espouses. Sirianni passed along a story from Tony Dungy about how Franco Harris’ positioning for the “Immaculate Reception” came because of Harris’ habit of swarming to the ball — and he explained that Eagles No. 2 running back Tank Bigsby plays the same way.

> But there’s something else Sirianni realized in conversing with the chatbot. Five years of winning football, including a Lombardi Trophy and postseason bids each season, offered an extensive database within itself. He can discuss an Arizona State wrestler for inspiration. He can also point to something the Eagles achieved or overcame on runs to two Super Bowls to illustrate a lesson on a given day.

> “We’ve created stories, things that people are looking up on ChatGP — fill me in on the letters,” Sirianni said in June during a roundtable interview. “What keeps it more fresh than what we’ve done?”

In an extended interview session with Eagles beat reporters last month, the Eagles head coach talked up Sean Mannion and discussed the team's ability to navigate big changes.

I was reading about the the Indian Premier League Cricket and I thought it was an interesting concept that they can only keep a couple players from their previous years roster and the rest go into a yearly redraft.

So, I thought it would be a fun thought experiment on these slow offseason days to see who we would keep.

Hypothetically we can tag 3 players from our 2025 roster to remain on the Eagles and the rest of the team goes into a league wide redraft. Here are my thoughts.

1. Jalen Hurts - Say what you want about him, but he's an above average starting QB and you're not guaranteed to land that in a redraft.
2. Quinyon Mitchell - I'd want a stud CB or Edge rusher to build the defense around and we don't really have a superstar Edge player, so I'd be keeping our lockdown cornerback.
3. Jordan Mailata - While I think Lane Johnson is probably better, Jordan plays LT and will be critical to any offense we put together.

What do you guys think?

Edit: Since it was brought up and it does play into who you keep, assume we have pick #23 in the redraft.
