NFL 2020 “Preseason” Thread: Don’t Tear Your ACL, Don’t Catch The Rona

[Mertron]

his greatest career accomplishment was trolling the eagles fans when the draft was held in philly, only for the eagles to respond by winning the god damn super bowl that year

the eagles won the super bowl

[Weltall]

Some team is about to absolutely rob the Jags for Yannick Ngakoue. Reports are he is being traded for a 2nd round pick.

[Rhyis.]

sounds like a good deal for the jags considering they drafted him for a 3rd and never paid him. they're getting more draft capital then they spent

[Weltall]

lol no

[Gadritan]

its media writers that compare the advanced stats of all the players in the year and then vote, so you said what i said but used the word media instead


lineman have just as many stats as skill positions (pressures/hits/sacks/penalties/etc) so i'm rather confused what you're trying to say here.

OL?

one nfl insider i follow on twitter (lombardi) says the jets are one of the teams in the talks

[Weltall]

It is the Ravens. They are going to be so insane on D.

[Rhyis.]

lol no

they're getting more draft capital then they spent on a guy that doesn't even want to be there and will be a free agent next year... the fact they're getting anything is a miracle

OL?

all those stats i just said ol have. pressures allowed, hits allowed, sacks allowed, etc.

[Mertron]

lol no

i mean, he’s made it clear he’s not playing there when his deal is up, so getting something for him along with all the other picks they’ve stockpiled makes the most sense

im sure they’d rather have all the talent they’ve lost but they weren’t going to be able to pay all those defensive guys anyway after they paid super bowl mvp nick foles to lose his job to a mustache

just remembered that of all years, this is probably the shittiest year to stockpile draft picks

typical jags

[Rhyis.]

i'm reading iggles but dont they have the worst cap space next year and beyond? i think it would be hard for them to pay the guy

[Weltall]

Thank Jesus, there is still hope it isn't them.

Jets using the draft capital from the Adams trade to grab Ngakoue makes sense. Having said that, Gase forces him out in a year or two.

eagles have been rumored all offseason for him or clowney, they have money this year but next year are like 50m over the cap

the rumors have been so prevalent all year I don’t pay attention anymore

[Mertron]

yeah this confirms it

https://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space/

eagles do have 24m this year, but next year they’re already 51m over. some guys like djax will be gone and that will reduce it but eagles gonna have some work to do

[Rhyis.]

yeah i remembered hearing something about the iggles having bad cap issues for the future. gonna be some major cuts in the next off-season

Gase will be gone before Ngakoue is gone.

Not really. It's all new shit. They weren't tracking this stuff back in the 70s and 80s to decide who an all pro was. That was my point.

They're STILL coming up with metrics to accurately determine OL skill. Like what you listed there...passing plays are the only metrics to use? The run game can be/is more important depending on the team.

Can you imagine politicking your way out of the Jags only to land with the J E T S!

Lmao
