It is called the Hegelian dialectic. Divide and conquer.

Also ... with Redtails ... what do we call the cheerleaders?? And aren't we just getting over some seriously awful harassment stuff there?

Probably best to just get rid of cheerleaders altogether

I mean when you think about it the whole concept of cheerleaders is a little cringey and dated

Yeah its cool in highschool then it is kind of corny.
My parents are Eagles fans. Had season tickets for years. I remember back in the 80’s the cheerleaders started wearing pants. Man you never heard booing like you did at the vet when they came out in pants. Lol

They won't go to another RED name I bet..

Scalper, I think you may be underestimating Charles. I think he is starter material, assuming that his injury problems are behind him now. Remember how the coaching staff plugged him in at LG last season just as soon as he was physically ready to go? Admittedly, I have no NFL history to go on but I still think (with my fingers crossed) he can be be a quality starter on the left side in 2021.

I'm going back and forth on Scherff but at the end of the day I think I'd let him walk rather than make him the highest paid guard in the league. He's a top 5 guard no doubt, and someone is going to pay him, it just doesn't have to be us. You can find guards in the mid to later rounds that are more than serviceable.

What, drafting OL? Have we had a big problem in that area? Last year we started 3 guys that we drafted.

For the teams that routinely win Super Bowls, I would suspect, it's not because they have heavily invested in their guards.

I agree, I think you save that $$ and keep building good depth all around

I guess I’m confused because all I read on these boards is that we need to develop and keep our players and when the good ones come up, we always say “let them go”....since we are in decent shape cap wise, I think at this moment in time with Ron being new here it’s important that we resign a guy known for being a pretty good players as well as leader. I think the message this sends to other guys we want to keep down the road is worth a couple million a year at this point because I think it sends the right message. Even if it means paying a guard 15 million a year instead of 12. Just my opinion.
