A step backwards

To say it is a step backwards implies that he is worse than Randall or Rollins, which I definitely disagree. Those two are both horrible. It doesn't take much to be better than them, at least the way they played last season.

NFL Network said it was 1 year at $3.5M. Didn't see how much is guaranteed. I'd have liked this done for less but that's just the way contracts are going this year. If he plays well, we get some much needed help at a position desperate for depth. If he doesn't, then it's not a huge sunk cost. Can't play much worse than our corners did last year. Still need more help at the position unless Randall and Rollins bounce back in a huge way (and I'm not keen to bank on that).

McCarthy must field a team with the players at Ted Thompson hires, remember that !

Also think Randall and Rollins will play better as well. As 2nd year players, they weren't ready to be thrust into the #1 and #2 spots. Let's not forget they were both pushed to play thru injuries that should have been given more time to heal.

I'm sure they will have to fight through injuries this upcoming season too, and we probably can't expect a rookie drafted at 29 to be ready to be the #1 CB. Hopefully they learned from their second year, but it was so bad, I wonder if they are simply busts, or nothing more than depth corners.

House is much better depth at where we need it than Hyde.

I watched his game against us in week 1; the guy was quite good in coverage. He can still play, he's coming back home with what he learned in Jax.

And Randall played WAY too well at times to be as bad as he was at times. I'm 100% certain his issues were injury related. Rollins may have regressed a touch.

Gunter; House; Randall; a #1/2 pick that will be a 2nd yr player when playoffs begin; leap of Dorleant, Hawkins, Rollins and Waters; Brice's leap allow Burnett to play the slot CB; will make us forget all about our 2010 CB group of Harris, Woodson, Williams, Shields, Bush, Lee. Ummm, okay, this group will at least make us forget about Goodson.

got to say Wow really liked the things he said ... after reading that cant wait to see his play in action. Wouldnt say the same thing about our previous corners - more often then not they made me cringe.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
