Klein is a MLB and a liability at OLB, Glanton played well last year , but hasn't been called up. Eagles speed on offense is a concern. So do they find ways to use Colin Jones to compensate for lack of speed and coverage ability with Klein. Bad time to lose Shaq. Will they mix up the defensive schemes to have our fastest and best coverage guys on the field or stay with Klein at OLB?

Depends what package we are in.  Eagle don't ground and pound so we likely won't have 3 LBs on the field all game even if Shaq was healthy.

Eagles run a lot of formations that would require us to bring in a DB anyway.

We'll just run more nickel.  May see some of the buffalo nickel too.

expecting more from the safeties doesn't sound like a good idea.   I think true nickel is the way to go.

Also, Roman Harper was already on every teams radar.  Dude is gonna be THE  game plan for teams until we make a change IMO.   Philly has some TEs that can run too.

So the Ertz/Matthews matchups are big.

We'll play with Colin Jones in the buffalo nickel package. Extra safety/linebacker. He's one of the fastest, maybe the fastest on the team.

Yep.  Same defense we played down the stretch last year.  We'll be alright.  Just thankful Shaq's injury wasn't season ending

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
