Help Put Our Starting Team for 2023 Together

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Help me fill in only those positions that we already have a solid starter we should be keeping.

Tell me one by one if a player/starter should not be starting for us and needs to be released or traded for whatever reason, salary, cap, don't need, not good enough to start, should be a backup, or whatever.

Positions that end up empty will be all those our new GM needs to address this year or next via draft, FA, or however. I will fill in as we go 1 player at a time.

QB - Kyler Murray
RB1 - James Conner, Keaontay Ingram
RB2 -
WR -

WR - Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch

WLB - Myjai Sanders
LILB - Zaven Collins

Hopkins, Anderson, and Brown, WR

From previous discussions I will consider them dispensable due to their high salaries and/& declining abilities, if not this year then next. Anyone disagree?

Rondale Moore, when healthy, will be a starter and keeper for us for now, and Dortch will be a good sub. Sound right?

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Ertz & McBride

Now for TE - Ertz will be good for only another year maybe. McBride will be our starter there after/with him. So for now, TE isn't a need yet, is it?

 

[Buckybird]

Cam Thomas
Myjai Sanders
Zaven Collins
Jalen Thompson

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

LT - Is Humphries our man? We good there?

RG - What about Pugh? Good also?

Cam Thomas
Myjai Sanders
Zaven Collins
Jalen Thompson

So we need to replace Simmons at RILB?

 

[BritCard]

Josh Jones will start at RT. He has too if he wants to get paid next year.

Either that or he's a trade candidate.

 

[BritCard]

So we need to replace Simmons at RILB?

I don't think so. He has to make that move. I don't see how he can forge a career being a sub package gadget player.

I think it's possible he's traded. I think he's a Will in a 4-3 so will depend on base defense.

Before you can put together a team you have to know, as Brit says, whether you're a 3-4 or 4-3 team. JG was a 4-3 team in Philly so I guess we'll be a 4-3, but will wait until it becomes official.

And Eagle players are still complaining about the condition of the field in Glendale. And cite that as the reason for zero sacks. And you can't claim sour grapes, since Andy Reid said the field was terrible after the season opener.

Wasn't it a new field for the SB? Some new hybrid grass put in by the NFL?

It was

 

[Garthshort]

Then just a coincidence? Or possibly it has to do with moving the grass from outside to inside the stadium. I have no idea.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Wasn't it a new field for the SB? Some new hybrid grass put in by the NFL?

Yes. Over watered and didn't root deep enough, so it was slick footing.

The field at the start of the year was not the same field at the super bowl. The NFL replaced the entire thing.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

The problem at the start of the season is the stupid decision to have training camp in the stadium. This was never an issue when we practiced in Flagstaff.

 

[Zalixar]

Yes. Over watered and didn't root deep enough, so it was slick footing.

Paint. Don't forget lots of paint, even over the green grass. Gotta look pretty on the TV screen. We all know less than favorable field conditions favors the offense.

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Josh Jones will start at RT. He has too if he wants to get paid next year.

Either that or he's a trade candidate.

Do we agree? Is Jones our starting RT?

 

[cardcrazy]

Isaiah Simmons!…if not someone else will make him a star.

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Isaiah Simmons!…if not someone else will make him a star.

So we are going to plug him in as our starting RILB?

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Do we have anyone who we will starting along the DLine? either DE, or NT, or if we go to a 4 front anyone else? How many new guys do we need for our D front?

Lawrence

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Lawrence

So we will start Lawrence and won't need to take NT if we play a 3/4, is that what you mean, Brit? What about if we go to a 4/3? Will Lawrence still be starting and we still need to draft another inside DT?

And if we are going to play 3/4, someone like Carter wouldn't be someone we need for NT?

 

[Snakester]

Ertz & McBride

Now for TE - Ertz will be good for only another year maybe. McBride will be our starter there after/with him. So for now, TE isn't a need yet, is it?

I agree I think we’re strong at TE.

 

[Snakester]

LT - Is Humphries our man? We good there?

RG - What about Pugh? Good also?

Humphries is good. Josh Jones the other tackle.
RG- Will Hernandez proved himself and should be given a contact.
LG I’m hoping we sign the best one we can find.
I think Pugh will retire.

 

[Snakester]

So we need to replace Simmons at RILB?

I personally would move Simmons to OLB to take advantage of his athletic skill set. Also stop him from covering wide receivers which I think was very stupid of VJ.
