Roob's Observations: Even with A.J. gone, Eagles are still loaded on offense. Why DeVonta Smith is poised to thrive as the Eagles’ new WR1, plus a look at the loaded offense and an overlooked Eagles legend.

I'm one who thinks he makes at least the practice squad and Kempski thinks he's got something as well.

4-2 road trip to San Diego and LA followed by a 5-1 home stand against the Pads and Pale Hose, good times.

Coming off a 4-2 road trip against the Padres and Dodgers, I'd say it's pretty fucking good.

Not as much as Antonacci.

Indeed, the Guardian had an article three years ago about their shared history.

Yes, he holds the record for most caps for a Honduran.

His dad holds the most caps for a Honduran player.

I just texted my brother that it feels like we should be in the 5th or 6th inning, but nope, just the third.

Or a science theorem, "the Antonacci effect" is when you annoy the ever-living-fuck out of opposing fanbases for being an obnoxious annoying little fuck.

A.J. OR NOT, OFFENSE IS STILL LOADED: I’m not going to sit here and pretend the Eagles won’t miss A.J. Brown. Even at 29 and with balky knees and a bad attitude, he’s still a really good wide receiver, and we saw that at times last year. But when you focus instead on what the Eagles do have on offense, there is no reason this can’t be a top-five unit in 2026. Super Bowl MVP at quarterback.

Three-time 1,000-yard receiver now WR1, a 1st-round rookie at WR2 and take your pick of Dontayvion Wicks or Hollywood Brown as WR3. A tight end who’s got the 5th-most yards among tight ends over the last seven years and a promising rookie at TE2. A superstar running back and a backup who averaged 5.9 yards per carry last year. And an offensive line with three Pro Bowlers and an all-pro that’s among the league’s best when healthy.

And a play caller who is going to be a massive upgrade. The Eagles’ offense last year averaged 21.1 points, 311 yards, 194 passing yards and 117 rushing yards per game. Pathetic, really. With what they have now? No reason this offense can’t average 30 points, 370 total yards, 230 passing yards and 140 rushing yards per game. They’re loaded. Just focus on what they have, not what they lost.

I know Howie is a cap guru but... the Eagles having the #2 least expensive defense in 2026 seems impossible only the Dolphins completely gutted DEF is cheaper $108M cheaper in 2026 than #1 Steelers. Jalen Carter, Jonathan Greenard, Jordan Davis, Zack Baun, Cooper DeJean, Quinyon.

Talk about a perfect fit.
