GREENBEAN Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Sorry can’t post the article for some reason. Probably my age. This article has to be talking about someone else but if the Eagles feel the same about Leo as the author does, I would seriously consider this trade. Leo is giving us nothing that the younger guys can’t. He is as pedestrian as could be. Sucks. I wanted to like him and for him to succeed but it’s obvious that he will most likely never be what we had hoped. Get it done joe! https://section215.com/2019/09/17/philadelphia-eagles-williams-trade/ Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilhermezmc Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I think 3rd round at best is what we can get for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturalscience Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Gonna jump on this while it is just a discussion and not a maccagnan screwed us for all eternity thread. I'm thinking I agree with you on this. I really want to like Leo. He appears to be a good teammate, etc. However the production just isn't there. Especially considering the price tag. I think if you could squeeze a second and say a fourth or fifth, do it. Shoot, maybe even a third, if we're not gonna sign him anyway. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 The author looks to be 12 years old and he also wrote this line: No, having essentially two Fletcher Coxes (Coxii?) in the trenches would change the way opposing coaches play the Eagles for a full 60 minutes. 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungaman Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 It would work for me. I had high hopes for Leo when he was drafted, but resigning him would be a mistake. If they could get a serviceable OL, WR or CB and a mid level draft pick in the next year or two, I'd be for it. After all, Q. Williams will eventually supplant him at a lower price, and I see him exceeding the low ceiling Leo has hit. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Leo and really had high expectations but I can’t help but to agree at this point. Trade deadline stays open until week 7. They need to gameplan around him as much as they can to build up some interest in him, a 5th rounder after giving him 14 million this year would just be awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think a good fat 2nd would be appropriate if the author has any say. You nailed it. Leo is seemingly a good guy who everyone likes. Good mentorish type who has been healthy fir the most part. But 7 tackles in two weeks when the team absolutely needed someone to step up is atrocious. Fatukasi can give the same production and a svelt looking McClendon looked markedly better last night. I even saw Leo take a bad angle on one of the rare plays he penetrated. I was like come on man!!! He just can’t do it. Or at least can’t do it here. I take the 2nd for sure she would consider a 3rd.

Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app I'm negotiating on the premise that losing him in free agency gets a third round comp pick. So I'm saying to the eagles if you want to get past Brady and Brown this year you're going to want some more push up the middle. Give us a 3 and a 5 and you won't have to wait till next year to maybe get him free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Watching the past two games, the entire line to me looks very pedestrian...a bunch of JAGS. Decent stopping the run...getting to the QB? No push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if that will be the case. I really hope it gets done. The Leo experiment is pretty much over. 5 seasons of truly subpar performance and last night showed that he is incapable of stepping up to Lead the D when they need him to. Bummer.

choon328 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 It's almost as if the people who were screaming for him to be traded before and after the draft were right. And the, "he gets doubled all of the time" and "he'll be a beast with Greg Williams" crowds were wrong.

bealeb319 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Lets apply logic.

Bomberjet Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 This thread is nothing but a witch hunt, plain and simple - yes lets blame it all on Williams - he was the reason why the Jets gave up all those points to the Browns - never mind that the Jets lost 2 QB's - 2 starters on defense , another stater out for the season, a starting TE for the 1st 4 games - can we find some more players? to unload - yes Jet fans have such colorful imaginations , I'm sure they can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYallDay Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I’ve been a Leo defender for years. I’m done. He’s average on his best downs. Basham showed more power, aggression, drive than Leo has maybe ever. Jenkins is a better pass rusher, and Leo is great at taking up blocks, but is blocked out of the play 95% of them. It’s a tough watch and even tougher to admit, but he’s a JAG. If he came back for like 2m a year (I know crazy low) he could be a back up. Not a starter on a good team and an average player on a bad team Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
