[@D-V-C-N]

Hunter Renfrow would be a great slot for this team. Kellen could use him similar to how they used Beasley

[@happyliltre3721]

Renfrow would be so underrated you’re definitely onto something

[@shawndavis7884]

I can speak to the Pickett glove issue, having watched him at Pitt. It's not that he needs them, he threw it pretty well without them, but his OC at Pitt, Mark Whipple, asked him how he felt with them after a bad weather day one time because he noticed he had better control of the ball with them on. Pickett said he liked it, so he started wearing them full-time time during his Jr. year. It does look odd, but it's just a comfort thing for him at this point.

[@davidcollier2603]

I’m a physical therapist, a lot of people now feel like there should be a hard nine month minimum for ACL return to sport, some people are freaky, athletic and heal quickly and do really well with earlier return, I don’t see why Sydney would not be a feasible shoe in for at least late September.

[@rigamortizx]

Rubin had to hit bruh with that pause lmao

[@happyliltre3721]

“Yeah, I’m not there yet,” after one OTA with Dave reminding him we’re one day in here is classic Eagle Eye😂 man I love these guys🦅 GO BIRDS

[@1jaredsantizo1]

Darius Slay slader is definitely uncalled for. He's never been terrible maybe a couple bad games here and there but for the most part extremely reliable

[@ryan10491]

The last 6 games from this year and last year were horrible. Go back and look

[@Eazy_is_hizname88]

No way we actually signed John Ross 😂

[@FoxizLBoogie]

😂😂

[@zanemanning3985]

The overreacting is real lol

[@Eazy_is_hizname88]

@@zanemanning3985I’m not saying it’s a good signing I just can’t believe it 😅

[@tylerbraswell4476]

Annnnnnd we signed john Ross lmaoooo

[@brrr8963]

Calm down Nancy, it's barely May 🤡

[@ADtheOG]

“His butt was in the sky” 😂😂😂

[@JTamarin]

Just missed the John Ross signing 😂😂

[@happyliltre3721]

Classic

[@dannigibbins4641]

Acl is a side to side injury. Straight lines are generally fine after swelling goes down

[@acovcar]

Maybe it was me but neither Dave or Roob seemed excited to do this pod.

[@dandrummond9154]

What Roob is trying to say is that runningbacks have a tendency to Bradberry. I don't think it is underappreciation. Slay hasn't been 100% like 90% of the time. Its hard not to be disappointed when somebody as good as he is isn't crushing it. No shade, though. He was still our best corner with one knee.

[@D-V-C-N]

Darius Slay is one of the most overrated players the league has ever seen

[@wisconsineaglesfan7925]

enjoyed it.

[@wiseguy2374]

I can’t wait to see this offense

[@85flyers]

Let’s not forget that jalen Carter had a back injury. He did have an MRI. That could be why his play fell off midseason.

[@stickshiftt9127]

@18:00 let the young guys grow. Give them a chance. We have enough great players to allow our young guys to grow

[@davidlee7074]

Good podcasts. Bradbury no excuse as he did not put effort and avoided contact during games.

[@HHH-ye1ro]

17:31 guys, these are WR3. You want Rice or Moss out there? We will be fine. Lots of WR3 talent in that room.

[@Aaron_Davis]

I think Sweat has just as much reason to be there as Bradberry. He NEEDS to be there with that terrible year he had

[@LukeDurland]

I’m convinced Reub will only be happy if the birds sign prime Calvin Johnson as WR3….then he’ll complain we don’t have a WR4

[@Jhoffa22_]

Exactly dude just say's dumb sh*t most of the time and thinks his sh*t don't stink, he thinks knows everything when in reality he don't know sh*t....💯

[@Luchi3848]

Oh yeah

[@HHH-ye1ro]

The Eagles sign Saquon Barkley to the largest contract for a running back in team history. Before the ink is even dry, on the first day of OTA, Ruben says “I don’t know, man, he could be shot. He could fall off the cliff tomorrow. You never know?“ Way to stay positive, my friend.😮

[@ryancampbell1847]

If he was 30 or even 29 I doubt they make that deal and I'd be worried to but he 26 and still has juice in those legs so I'm not that worried about it and also dude is a locker room warrior so we know he in great shape...

[@SouthPhilly1113]

He's always negative

[@thebarryman]

If anything Roob is too positive about the signing. Easily the worst move Howie made all offseason.

[@KingKenzo215]

Rube is a wet blanket

[@KingKenzo215]

Like they are going full speed at OTA’s 🤦🏻‍♂️ I think it’s time for rube to retire

[@ltcol2005]

Roob it's called a business. people move on and new ones replace them. get over it!

[@SouthPhilly1113]

Facts

[@Msc762]

Please dont run out of gas ❤ we have AIM for the world series ,,, marathon

[@davidblalock9577]

Can I get and eagles jersey with some auto lol

[@thebarryman]

I'm hearing a lot of the same talk about Barkley we heard last year with Swift. "You know he's gonna get the ball in the passing game. One thing we know about the passing game is they're gonna involve the RB way more this year." Come to think of it, we heard the same about the Gainwell draft pick. Here's an idea, how about we get a guy who can actually run the ball? Barkley isn't that guy. You can't just blame his OL when his backups have had higher rush success % than he did in 4 of his 6 years with the Giants. I've said for years he's the most overrated player in the NFL and I'm not gonna change my tune all of a sudden just because he's an Eagle now. In my mind, he will always be the face of the NYG franchise (one of the worst teams in the league over the past decade), gonna find it really hard to root for the guy.

[@kingorsenio7224]

Is it just me or does Ruben look 10yrs older?

[@Jhoffa22_]

He look's 10 year's older every pod...😂😢😂

[@Tmindful182]

Butts up

[@jaredhatfield2806]

You lost all credibility when you compared Blount to Saquon. They ain't even close to similar😂😭

[@SouthPhilly1113]

Facts

[@thebarryman]

Blount is much better.

[@kevinconklin124]

Kenny blows

[@lgiii9923]

Why i dont like to watch these podcasts it all means literally nothing getting excited and upset way too early before season 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ltcol2005]

there goes Dave with his injury jinx on players. SHUT UP DAVE!

[@D-V-C-N]

Dave always makes things awkward. He’s like that dork who doesn’t know how to converse so he tries to make it seem like you said something weird

[@kharijohnson7656]

😂😂😂

[@justwait9822]

That's actually a great description

[@ugiswrong]

That’s how he would relate to you, because you and him have no connection, whereas these two just make fun of each other but in a positive way, maybe study it to reflect as a person you nitwit/dope

[@FarmerJ12]

100% lol

[@madkarma3424]

hate to say it but eagles will never win a superbowl with Hurts at QB

[@jonpoetical]

Ok

[@Jhoffa22_]

You sound d*mb as f**k We we're literally the better team that super bowl given a few turnovers and us getting a** r*ped with no Vaseline by the ref's, Jalen definitely outplayed Patty that night and had one of the greatest performances in a super bowl are you kidding me, take your nut a** on somewhere goofball...🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
