John reacts to Howie kicking off his annual August trade party by stealing Jakorian Bennett from the Raiders. We dive into what this means for the CB2 battle, why Cooper DeJean is absolutely not just a slot corner, and how the Eagles are already setting up life after Reed Blankenship. Plus, crack a beer, tailgate season is here.

You might not like what I have to say about Cooper DeJean upfront, but by the end I think you can at least see where I am coming from. Vic Fangio is a genius, and has the best supporting cast in the league.

As if this week wasn't dumb enough both Sean McVay and Sean McDermott both showed their cards about why they think the Tush Push needs to go. The real reasoning? They just don't like it. That's it. That's the wwhhhhhholllllle argument. What a bunch of losers.

Can you come up with 24 teams that would want to ban the Tush Push? I couldn't. But I do think you could convince at least 5 teams to say yes! Also, how would you feel about trading Jahan Dotson to the Packers? Let's get it into it.

I've been deep in the Pepe Silvia mode, chain-smoking and piecing together where the Eagles mail's is going. Grab your coffee and tinfoil hats, because we're diving into the Eagles' NBA-style offseason strategy. 11 trade partners, mainly in the AFC and a reminder that the future RT tackle of the Eagle might be on the roster already.
