Maddox injury shows his impact to our defense, easily one of our best all around players

[@shawnbyers6291]

He is but man he’s gotta find a way to stay on the field

[@truthbtold7923]

I can’t see the impact because he hasn’t played much in two seasons. We need to get rid of him! 🦅🦅🦅

[@udaymittal5598]

Fr same thing happened last year when he got hurt and ceedee torched us in the slot

[@becomingnursechyna]

YEP!

[@semwenseou]

Yes Maddox is one of the most underrated player if not the most on our team, before he got hurt last year against cowboys Dak and the offense were so uncomfortable then he got hurt while sacking Dak then it was party time for Dallas the moment he exited and we inserted Josiah Scott then ceedee was free. This year same thing we still can’t cover in the slot, and all teams keep abusing us in the middle of that field, now we have our hope on Roby to save us. I’m just hoping we can get Maddox back late in the year and for the playoffs.

Bruh, aside from the TANGIBLE difference Maddox being out makes on our secondary, seeing him ask if Dallas is in the locker room and if he can go be with him and then seeing him RUN to see his friend made me emotional. That’s brotherhood.

Gosh that 2018 draft class by Philly is one of the best in recent memory…..small class with no 1st,3rd or 5th rounder but still came away with Goedert in the 2nd, Maddox and Sweat in the 4th and Mailata in the 7th.

[@KimbaLoveAdams]

Hey Avontee and Dallas I live in Voorhees! I know ur both gone but it’s cool you used to live here 😊 I’m really sorry ur both hurt. In regards to ur injury Dallas it really sucks because it seemed like to me it was a dirty hit. It seemed like dude twisted ur arm as he went down with his weight on ur arm. 🤬 I was so upset. The look on your face after it happened broke my heart. I broke into tears for you. I knew immediately it was broken. Here’s to you guy’s healing fast. Dallas we need you back before the playoffs. Come back for the Dallas game! Revenge game!!!!

Injuries are such a random thing in football. I never understand the hate people can lump on someone for just being unlucky. When Maddox is healthy he is a top 10 slot DB. Goedert looks like he’ll be back sooner than I thought. Both of these guys are hilarious and straight up dawgs on the field. Go Birds.

Really interesting how the script got flipped for Dallas but glad he progressing well. Hope his thumb strength / ROM comes back quick but demonstrates was a serious injury (to ligaments besides the fracture). Avonte seems like he's progressing very well. As rehab dictates with light weights but hope he could return for the playoffs.

[@butchtommasino]

I bet at least one of these two players gets into coaching like Duce, Sproles, Celek, Barwin, or DeMeco for recent examples of former Eagles players turned cream-of-the-crop talent developers, consultants, & positional/head coaches. I can't think of another team in any sport that just recycles former players into elite-level FO/coaches like this and gets as much value and continuity from it. To me, there was never a QB factory here like Howie and them said, it's simply a leadership seminar everyday these guys are in the building together. So many great minds and selfless helpers. Eagles have been one of the most successful sports organizations since the late 90s off what those guys pioneered, you can give Andy, Buddy, and JJ and their coaching trees a lot of credit too but Lurie just knows how to run a well oiled machine and keep people happy. It didn't take Lurie long to figure it out and get the ball rolling and he's especially been great at the 'upkeep' side of things, knowing who to hire and what not when in a pinch like the rapid half-season rebuilds leading to our two recent SB appearances. When the Eagles became one of the 'template' teams that everyone else copycats is when I knew this wasn't just a phase or a short window of sustained success I think this is kinda like an elevated franchise now. Similar to when Pats could sign any team's mediocre depth and have that system turn them into above-average starters eventually. The difference is Philly is more about freedom and giving players that choice to be great for each other, while NE is more about coercing and pressuring their players with the threat of punishments and consequences if they make mistakes. Everyone knows the rest of the league is wary of giving ex-Patriots players a shot if they didn't succeed there, so it's kinda where a lot of careers just die for a myriad of reasons that don't always point to anything that player did/didn't do. Eagles can walk their dogs without a leash and as soon as the Pats stopped going deep in the postseason every year they no longer have the incentive structure to keep their system running. Their dogs get loose and get euthanized at the pound. Nobody wants to put their body and mind through what those coaches up there do. That loser Chip Kelly tried the Belichick method and our entire team was dead in the water in less than 2 full seasons, and in a SB within 2 seasons of having a first time NFL HC in Pederson and a backup QB (Foles) that got treated like he was a POS by every other org he played for.
