I have no idea if the Patriots will be good, but I am positive the Eagles will be horribly bad. Race to the bottom with Houston. This is not a well-conceived team.
And worse, he’s the exact opposite player from Hurts. You have to completely change your offense when he comes in. The blocking, the timing, everything. What are the Eagles doing?
The Pats are going tight end heavy set power running all season, they’re gonna play keep away and trust their defense to win games. They will be annoying to play against (especially for number 49).
Agree the future is now. Disagree about the roster decision. Trust your coaches to make Neal and Kumerow “top end gunners” and don’t ever cut bait on a premium position young prospect like DJ who’s still ascending. You cannot cut Darryl Johnson to keep Taiwan Jones no matter what your 2021 goals are - it’s a mistake. Don’t forget this team will have to start finding gems ASAP to balance out Allen’s impending cap hit.
You may well be right. And it's hard to find fault overall with McBeane's approach. But cutting a promising young pass rusher like DJ - whom they've invested in and developed - in order to keep Taiwan Jones, one of the most replaceable players at one of the most replaceable positions - would be a highly frustrating event.
They will be kept for a couple more weeks because the Bills need players at those positions for practice reps. But they’ll be gone at final cutdown for sure.
