I agree with the Interchangeability issue I do not want to see reed Inman coverage at all. That said I do believe that he has intangible abilities that would make him a real asset if he can have limited responsibilities. Jenkins versatility meant McCloud didn't need to be. I think Adam intentionally focus on very objective parts of football to evaluate and that makes him great and consistent but also underrate certain players

You’d be amazed how many times people say my voice sounds like someone else lol

@@EaglesXsandOs how does that make you feel? lol

@@jakobcounts123good, like a familiar friend

Sincerely appreciate your kind words - stay tuned for offensive breakdowns starting next week!

Hopefully more tolerable than WIP talking points

@@EaglesXsandOs low bar to clear, lol

Much appreciated brotha, we promise to bring the heat when we get to the offensive side of the ball.

I'd agree if Breece Hall and Derrick Henry, who have had similar horrible OLs, bad QB play and overall lack of talent around him, didn't rank in the top 10 (often top 3) in all these same metrics. The reality is, Saquon has always been a superior athlete who beats people with his athleticism. They tend to be players that try to bounce runs outside or outrace defenders. The problem is, Saquon doesn't have the same burst & top end speed he used to have to do that. He's trying to outrun people instead of using pace and movement to set them up and he's getting caught more. He'll have to adjust his game as he ages.

@@PhillyFilmRoom good point

@@PhillyFilmRoomdo you think his supporting offensive weapons could have anything to do with that? He’s going to be on a loaded offense now(top 5 or 10 line, top 5 or 10 receiver duo, and a good QB)

That occasional would be nice…another level of weapon try to throw at offenses

Definitely someone who swarms to the ball and might cause a fumble or two

In all scenarios Brown over DeJean. DeJean has never played safety. The level of communication and understanding of EVERYONE'S job on the defense is night and day difference from playing corner. If you haven't seen the Blankenship video I did, I highlighted the little things the safeties have to do to make sure they're even lined up correctly. That stuff gets overlooked by most fans because it's easier to see which players are bigger, faster, more explosive, etc. but if you only watch the game on TV you'll miss the other stuff that matters so much at that position. And that's just the communication aspect, haven't even gotten into the fact that techniques, coverage roles and even seeing the field from that perspective is different. Maybe DeJean can come in right away and show he's able to handle all that. But he'd be an extreme outlier to switch to safety and play a lot as a rookie. I think DeJean plays nickel mostly this year, maybe some safety packages to get him matched up on a specific player or something. But the safety transition likely happens after this year if that's even the plan. The way the team is constructed, they don't need to force DeJean into a safety role.

To be fair, he missed a lot of tackles in college too. But Jessie Bates is a good example of a safety that missed a lot of tackles in college and early in his career and then improving. Sydney should be a good one and a fan favorite

¿Porque no los dos?

Reed is better at the moment

@@koop2.1.5 no he isnt

Definitely hurt everyone. Plus rookies always have a learning curve (plus he was gonna be asked to play a position he didn't play nearly as much throughout college

Luckily Big Nickel and Big Dime packages are becoming in vogue, and that would put Brown on the field in the box.

Yeah somebody is gonna be unhappy that's for sure. But injuries will surely happen and the depth will be great then. Competition should make for a much better unit next year regardless

His potential is pretty darn high -- it will be interesting to see how far good coaching can take him. We probably won't know for another couple years.

Agreed. Everyone is sleeping on him. If he didn’t get hurt I really think this year he’d be a stud, still think he will but now it’s very crowded

I got high hopes for him but tf we have multiple guys that run in the 4.3’s (Rodgers, ringo, Mitchell, etc)…my math says 4.47 isn’t the fastest on the team

The instinctiveness and physicality definitely reminds you of those kind of players!

I think you'll love the full pod, we really got into the weeds on what is asked of the safety position in Fangio's scheme and how that room might materialize in the future.

Bro what 😂 it was a minor ACL and he's probably ready by preseason

Most ACL tears aren't looked at that way anymore unless it's a compound injury like Teddy Bridgewater's or Nick Chubb's. You are right that they should have talked about it a bit more though. He tore his ACL 6 months ago, so he's still going to be rehabbing through the pre-season (which means he's not developing) and is due for a down year.

I'd be more concerned if it was an Achilles on there were multiple ligament tears, but its a fair criticism.

ACL injuries are a 6-9 month recovery. They've gotten pretty good at them. Kupp and AP are great examples of players that tore their ACL and came back better. Kupp was 1.5-2MPH faster on the GPS after which is crazy. Also helps that he's a younger player dealing with surgery than an older player. I'm not gonna pretend to be a doctor, but from previous injuries usually it's the guys that have other additional tearing to other parts of the knee that have a harder time recovering their form. He'll play in 2024.

Proud of that nickname 😎

@@EaglesXsandOs Oh, you should be; it's back-of-jersey level imo. Definitely a top tier one. But to incorporate a Sufi/Persian meditative practice into a Syd breakdown is really impressive.

Definitely an exciting player!
