Eagles Twitter Q&A
We did a Twitter Q&A Saturday afternoon on all things Eagles, so as long as we put in an hour or so of answering questions, we may as well also get a blog post out of it. Here is a sampling of the most common (or best) questions and answers from that Q&A. If you're not a Twitter user, please note that my answers come before the questions.
Eagles wanted longer deal to begin with. RT @peters_dylan Maclin in season extension chances? If he proves healthy of course.
Draft is loaded w/ good WRs. If they get one at 22, think Brandin Cooks is great fit. RT @kevinskele who will the eagles pursue for WR
BPA. Great chance BPA is WR. RT @Coach_Staley Do eagles address WR in first round or go with defense in first round and WR second round?
In case you're unaware, "BPA" means "best player available."
Yep. They didn't trust Ertz early in seaosn. They will this year. RT @NHLFlyersHockey think Eagles go with more two TE sets this year?
DeSean will not be replaced easily, in my opinion, no. RT @Frankie_Junior is replacing 80 catches and 1300 yards THIS season realistic?
Nope, only players whose contracts have expired. RT @roscoesrock can eagles get a compensatory pick next offseason for desean?
Statistically? Don't bet on it. RT @bleedgreen0617 Do you think Jeremy Maclin can duplicate DeSean's '13?
1 Watkins 2 Evans 3 Lee 4 Cooks 5 Beckham RT @WolfPackFray your favorite receiver in the draft?
Don't forget Greg Lewis. RT @schmohawk05 I can't live in a world where Matt schaub and Carson palmer can be traded and Desean can't jimmy.
The Noodle Legs are a ruthless bunch. RT @fakefbnerd Are there any fears/hope that Alex Henery has any gang affiliations? If so, what gangs?
Legal disclaimer: There is no hard evidence that Alex Henery is involved in gang-related activities.
Not a clue. I think it could take a while. I don't think a team will sign him quickly. RT @Thunder_Lips handicap Jackson landing spots?
50-750-8. RT @Avalonbryan look into your crystal ball. Catches/yds/tds for Ertz
Note: Upon re-reading the above Ertz projection, he'd be going for 15 yards per catch, which isn't out of the question, but definitely unlikely. So let's amend that to 50-700-8. We'll shave a yard per catch off his total. 14 would still be a very high YPC for a TE.
OLB, but really good WR more likely to be available. RT @xtiandc Bigger draft need: WR or outside pass rusher?
Polar bear jammies. RT @benjabad What are you wearing?
Not happening. RT @kevinskele could the eagles trade for wallace
They'll have to improve significantly just to get back to 10. RT @RiseOfFoles I still believe they'll end up with more wins this year
Write that McCoy is next! RT @evansilva How do you plan to get revenge on all of your haters?
Only have 6 picks, so it's unlikely, but interesting he's visiting. RT @RayBanMerchant do the eagles trade up and get mike evans?
30-35% or so, I think. RT @abmoyer7102 What % of snaps do you think Sproles will play on offense?
Doubt that. Don't think Mathis will be a a headache. RT @aChrisHoward what do you think will happen next w/ Mathis? Camp holdout?
Yep. RT @Cody011 are the eagles still the NFC east favorites post DJack?
Barkley. RT @JoeB_OandBP who do you think breaks camp as #2 starter? Barkley or Sanchez?
Could be stuck unless they move back. Teams will guard picks like gold. RT @pmeredith77 Will the Eagles get more picks or be stuck at 6?
4406 as a team last year, so yes, if he stays healthy. RT @PhillyBoyInTN Foles to be the Eagles first 4,000 passer this year or nah?
Fair point. RT @Jonzee72 I don't want to draft anyone called Watkins in the first again. Ever.
They'll have interest, IMO. And yes, great fit. MT @exdude329 have the eagles exhibited interest in Brandin Cooks? Is he a good fit there?
Not sure what grounds he'd have, if he did. RT @SReeceGreenberg will 10 file a grievance?
Chip didn't want him on the team anymore. That's all the grounds they need. RT @SReeceGreenberg What grounds did Eagles have in firing him?
Ha, yep. I'd be very surprised if Andy reunites. RT @ArrowheadPride Been connected to Chiefs too. We'll never escape the Eagles connection
Everybody. RT @DFWsportsfan Hypothetical: division is on the line in Dec & Weeden vs Sanchez. Who wins?
