WELCOME TANK BIGSBY TO THE PARTY! Some quick thoughts on his overall all role, a little deeper dive in to what I think Za'Darius Smith's usage might look like, and I am doubling down on seeing Cooper DeJean at CB2 as early as this week vs KC.

I think Jalen Carter is gonna get suspended, I am warming up to the idea of Cooper DeJean at CB2, and I am JACKED about what I saw from Jalen Hurts in Week 1 vs Dallas.

The Eagles have so many WRs, a backup QB that won't play a 2nd preseason game, and no one that can really play CB2. Don't you think Howie is trying to get a deal done with Tanner right now? I do. That's my biggest takeaway as Eagles training camp comes to an end.

I don't think John Metchie being here automatically means there is a corresponding move, but I would be lying to you if I didn't at least think about what that would look like without Dotson here. PLUS, Drew Mukuba gives me new life and a lot less worry about CB2 heading into the season.

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.
