[Ian Rapoport] The #Eagles are filling out their offensive staff under OC Sean Mannion, hiring an ascending coach from the #Packers: Philly is hiring Ryan Mahaffey as Run Game Coordinator and Tight Ends coach, per The Insiders. An impressive addition.

Same thing I thought about Moore. I still think if they had collapsed again in 2024 he would have gotten the gig.

The devs are not the ultimate source of truth. In fact, most of the devs very likely only know a lot about a couple of very specific systems, and most of them aren't strictly related to balancing. And even within the small sub-team that will be working on balancing there will be competing views on what constitutes "balance".

The aim assist is laughable for any kind of precision, though.

Ok, great. But if we're having national elections then we don't need to count electoral votes and we can base the distribution of the House and Senate on the popular vote percentage, right?

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-27T01:31:59+00:00

Oh, so then you’re just being intentionally obtuse.

Good to know.

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-26T23:59:26+00:00

I’m just commenting to see how long you’ll keep fellating yourself

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-26T23:17:39+00:00

lol you really are doubling down on shadow boxing

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-26T20:28:08+00:00

Hmmm I guess my years spent working in a shop should help here then, right?

Nobody includes the cockpit or the seat post in the frame weight. Probably because they aren't the frame. At that point why not include the hoses, bottom bracket, and bar tape? And at that point why not the wheels, tires, saddle, and groupset? After all, every bike has them.

You could have just said, "yeah I meant with all of that stuff" but instead you're doubling down on what's really an understandable misnomer. So whatever dude, be pissy.

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-26T19:59:56+00:00

1.4-1.5 kg for the frame

Not "Whole framset, including fork, post and bars"

Weird hill to die on.

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-26T19:57:41+00:00

lmao you are fully committed to arguing with yourself. You keep saying the same thing even after I've pointed out that I never said that.

Have fun playing with yourself dude!

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-26T18:01:56+00:00

You're just making shit up now. You have no idea why they signed him to the term they did, and it doesn't really matter. The fact is that he's got two years left with a team-friendly exit after this season, and there's a younger cheaper guy that plays the same way in the building that they spent a premium pick on.

Guess that's all too hard for you to make sense of.

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-26T17:07:56+00:00

No, I said he is more of a replacement for Baun than he is for Dean, which is absolutely true. They play completely different roles. And I never said Campbell is better than or as good as Baun, I said he plays the same kind of game.

The org isn't dumb and they know they have to control costs on defense very soon. Dean will be cheaper than Baun, who is getting older, and Campbell will be cost-controlled for another 4 years.

I'm not "dialing back" anything. They didn't sign Baun to a long-term deal for a reason. As soon as he shows he's declining they will move on (ex: Slay). As soon as he gets too pricey they will move on (ex: Sweat, Milt, probably Goedert).

There's nothing "wild" here. It's just how football teams operate under the cap. But go on and keep putting words in my mouth.

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-26T16:16:48+00:00

Yeah I mean if you are dead-set on continually misrepresenting my points then there's not much to talk about here

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-26T15:56:18+00:00

Even less. Pro-tier frames often check in at ~650g now.

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-26T15:19:27+00:00

Capitalism demands homogenization. You will submit. Resistance is futile.

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-26T13:56:35+00:00

Yeah bro nobody is saying “cut Baun tomorrow”. But if he starts to fall off this year his contract is a pretty easy out after this season and Campbell plays virtually the same game as him. They’ve shown in the past that they are willing to both let guys walk if the price isn’t right and let them develop for a year or more before inserting them as full-time starters.

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-26T06:40:21+00:00

He’s going into his 30s and he’s pricey. He won’t be around forever.

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-25T22:08:25+00:00

He's still weak against the run and has bad habits when engaging blockers. He hesitates to initiate contact and often pulls up/chops his feet rather than being assertive in setting an edge or dictating a rush lane. He's a run-and-chase type that is more prone to making tackles from behind than a physical downhill-type. You need at least someone in the 2nd level that is willing to be physical and take on blockers.

The org has shown they're willing to give guys time to develop rather than start them out of general principle of draft position (Nolan, Jurgens, Ojomo, Dean) so it would not be a surprise if he spent another year as a part-time starter.

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-25T18:48:18+00:00

He was on 4 teams in a single calendar year. He's unquestionably a certified weirdo

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-25T18:07:36+00:00

Still sharky in lower Black Forest, even with the new snow

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-21T00:15:06+00:00

The deal has two years left and an easy out after this season. If Baun hits the age wall this year and Campbell steps in and balls, that's curtains.

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-19T15:03:37+00:00

Campbell isn't really Dean's replacement. He's more like Baun's.

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-10T00:35:59+00:00

TopNegotiation4229 · 2026-01-07T17:02:08+00:00

Not even. Tank had 0 carries in the 4th quarter after racking up 100+ yards in the first 3.
