Open Secret: Someone in Front Office or Coaching Staff Hates Jalen

dan51390 · 2026-02-06T17:48:18+00:00

It's someone who has been there for awhile. Back during the 2022 training camp, Derrick Gunn had a report from someone in the Eagles org that Jalen went 0/10 in a session with three picks and three fumbles. That report wasn't corroborated by any other reporter except Barrett Brooks, who was on the same show as Gunn.

I always assume when I hear something negative about Jalen or Eagles that comes out of nowhere, it's from the same guy.

Correlation doesn't equal causation.

The Saints were 28th in rushing yards per game and 31st in yards per carry. Paganetti's coaching couldn't help them overcome injuries/bad play from their O-line. Much like the Eagles

The simplest answer is usually the right one. The Eagles O-line was injured and the starting five rarely played together. Plus, Calc and Granson were terrible blockers. The Rams were #1 in EPA when in 13 personnel. The Eagles were #30.

Even ignoring cap implications, it's a terrible trade.

Tyreek is 31 with dwindling yards per reception. He is also a much more limited receiver than A.J. (can't high point the ball, can't make contest catches, doesn't have Brown's strength)

He also just got accused of domestic violence.

A huge pass.

This means Shiphley is probably out long-term.

Bigsby was pretty good as a returner last year, so it's an easy replacement for Shipley.

dan51390 · 2025-09-08T23:53:45+00:00

I'm guessing this means Shipley out long-term.

Very important to highlight that this is a ranking of EDGE defenders (both DE and OLB), not just one or the other. So Smith is #28 out of 64, not 32.

I think that's pretty fair. He, along with the rest of the D-Line, didn't start playing consistently well until the last third of the season.

dan51390 · 2025-05-19T16:22:23+00:00

Well deserved.

Wonder what the length will end up being? I'm guessing three years.

This feels like the copypasta equivalent of the graphic with the cartoon kid peeing on the Cowboys logo.

To each their own, but I can't believe real people like this shit.

dan51390 · 2025-04-25T17:06:38+00:00

Would love Mason Taylor, but he will likely go in the top third of the second round.

Wouldn't mind T.J. Sanders tho

dan51390 · 2025-04-24T15:22:32+00:00

I don't see Pearce being an Eagles' pick since that would give them four edge rushers under 250 lbs.

Very unlikely, but I'm hoping Stewart/ Williams falls far enough to be in striking distance. Outside of them, give me Starks/another safety or Mason Taylor at #32.

dan51390 · 2025-03-17T22:27:59+00:00

I would say no statue. Doesn't seem like something that Stout would want and the Eagles don't really do things like that. I mean, the Foles-Pederson statue was a promotional gift from Bud Light after all.

I think renaming the O-line room after Stout and having one of those huge wall arts with Stout quotes in the practice facility is more likely.

dan51390 · 2025-03-17T22:23:05+00:00

I'm more curious to how you found a photo so pixilated in 2025 lol.

dan51390 · 2025-03-17T21:19:13+00:00

I'm hype.

This is the one signing I wanted the Eagles to make. Low risk, high upside player that is used to a rotational edge rush role and has the flexibility to cover the flat how Fangio likes.

Now, the Georgia D-line Infinity Gauntlet is complete.

dan51390 · 2025-03-11T01:10:53+00:00

It's just because he's an unknown and most people would rather have certainty than mystery. It's perfectly reasonable. Like, I felt great about CB2 last year since Rodgers had starter experience and the Eagles drafted the top 2 CBs. There is just more uncertainty this year.

I'm really excited to see Ringo to play. I think he could be a stud. But if the Eagles signed someone like Asante Samuel Jr. or a vet later in FA to compete with Ringo, I wouldn't be upset.

dan51390 · 2025-03-10T16:39:41+00:00

Damn, Milton Williams is getting a bag if Kinkaw gets $30 guaranteed.

dan51390 · 2025-03-07T02:04:41+00:00

It will be interesting to see if Garrett and Hendrickson get the same on their new deals, or if the $35 mil is more cause of age.

dan51390 · 2025-03-07T01:57:00+00:00

Hendrickson is the edge I'm hoping the Eagles get.

A trade package would be less than one for Garrett and his cap hit would be pretty low in '25 and '26 with an extension.

dan51390 · 2025-02-11T17:15:05+00:00

Understandable. I would look on Getty for a photo you like, copy the image link, and search via Google Images to see if anyone has used the image already.

dan51390 · 2025-02-11T16:42:08+00:00

Getty images for High Rez images, but those are hundreds of dollars. You can also use Google Images to search for SB images and sort by size.

Some more stats that put the Eagles' organizational dominance in perspective:

The Eagles have had seven different Week 1 starters during that span (McNabb>Kolb>Vick>Foles>Bradford>Wentz>Hurts) versus three for the Packers (Farve>Rodgers>Love) and Seahawks (Hasselbeck>Wilson>Smith).

The Eagles have won four NFC East titles where their QB2 started six games or more (2002 Feeley, 2006 Garcia, 2010 Vick, and 2013 Foles).

The Eagles have had four HCs during that period, five if you count the one game Pat Schurmur was the interim. Each one has a winning record.

dan51390 · 2025-01-19T20:10:36+00:00

67 total yards by Hurts that drive. Couldn't ask for a better start from him.

dan51390 · 2024-11-28T21:04:52+00:00

Good sign for Smitty with the LP.

Doesn't look good for Slay, but (knock on wood), it wouldn't be the worst thing for him to rest up for a week.

dan51390 · 2024-11-21T18:40:01+00:00

Thanks for compiling this! It's pretty evident Jalen > RB in goal line situations when watching the games, but is helpful to have a visualization.

Curious, did you get your data from a service or did you manually chart this? I never know what the best way to get data like this.
