Reid is not going to relent on this. Unless Smith's head gets taken off- he's not coming in barring a locked playoff spot. Maybe that's my own rigidity speaking, but Alex Smith ain't Brock Osweiler, Glennon, Chad Henne, or Tom Savage. Smith getting injured at some point is something that could happen though. I would LOVE for it to be realistic- but I think the longterm dividends favor sitting him for the year. Ultimately is the right call- Mahomes has done decently in PS, but he's not there yet, imo.
Maybe so. I am ok with it if everyone is healthy though in all honesty. Been frustrating to see the last two years have key guys go down are hampered. Front 7 was a hot mess last year- the lack of a healthy Justin Houston was very obvious. Went from a strong passrush to 31st in sackrate.
Not reconcilable with the first two sentences. Not one bit.
And Jaye Howard, and Allen Bailey, Justin March, Dee Ford Hammy, and Poe's ongoing back problems. I could be wrong without double checking, but the Chiefs lost maybe the most snaps in their front 7 in the NFL last year. And yeah, in NE Houston was running around with a compromised ACL. Don't think it really matters though, the DL being pocket pushers was a bigger problem in my opinion. Chris Jones was drafted in large part because of that game, imo.
Early in last seasons draft I was calling for Dallas to draft Wentz in the 2nd round, as he climbed I thought maybe trade up late into the first round, when he started hitting the top 15 I quit looking at him in Dallas. I liked him but not at 4. I'm quite happy with Zeke and Dak over Wentz.
.
So basically like last season.
Wentz is over hyped and frankly, hasn't shown anything on the field that resembles a superstar.
They would have went 10-6 last year if Wentz didn't play like a scrub for nine of the last 11 games.Maybe some of you should double back and change some of those pre season predictions you made about the NFC East?
Wentz has weapons around him now, a semi revamped Oline then you factor in the front 7 of the Eagles defense and young and aggressive secondary.... 10-6 write it down!
Writing is on the wall:
Redskins: Please the only good thing coming out of DC this season will be Cousins will finally get out of there and play for a team that really wants him
Gmen:
Cowboys: They can't field a team with all these suspensions, Hell the only thing that scares me about this team is which week Dez Bryant comes out on national TV crying that Dak "isn't his QB"!
