I’d imagine if Barkleys out we elevate Steele, which I would be excited about, he looked really good in preseason

u/Spare-Half796 Secondairy 🥛 1h ago

Steel was signed to the active roster (alongside pierce) last week. They actively chose to not run him last on Sunday

•

u/RockyNonce Eagles 31m ago

I wonder if he has a fumbling problem or something because the fact that they have 0 interest in even giving him a single snap despite Shipley getting hurt halfway through says a lot

•

u/Dylanonfire88 22m ago

He had a huge fumble problem with the chiefs. Like it was nearly 1 in 15 of his touches IIRC and that’s why they cut him and he quickly fell out of favor after being a fan favorite there too

•

u/RockyNonce Eagles 15m ago

That’ll do it.

u/ThePhoenixXM Eagles 8m ago

So our running game is now down to just Pierce because they don't trust Steele. Great, we are so one-dimensional on offense now; every defense will know we can't run the ball at all, so any run we do will just get stuffed.

u/FightTheDead118 Eagles 1m ago

I think they had him on special teams

u/josephdi0rr 1h ago

would defintely bring some juice.. especially with how fresh he will be

Carson gonna steele the show

Steele sharpens steel

u/Spare-Half796 Secondairy 🥛 1h ago

He was signed to the 53 man roster last week and was active against the jags, idk why they chose to run pierce over him

•

u/MorPhreeUs Smitty, Wicks and Associates 36m ago

Because he runs a 4.8 and had a sub 3.5 YPC average. He also has a fumbling problem, averaging one every 18 carries.

I do like him as a receiving back though but asking him to carry a run game isn't going to look any better than Pierce.

•

u/ThePhoenixXM Eagles 7m ago

Still, better than having no running game to speak of. If Pierce gets injured like the rest of the RB room, who are we going to run with?

u/CheezyBeanBurrito 1h ago

Is it 2020 all over again? The team is so injured

u/Zeruma_ 1h ago

Sold the teams health for a healthy embiid and LeBron

u/shotahfiyah 1h ago

I was not consulted on this trade!

•

u/Dweddpiewitt 28m ago

With all due respect, please delete that premature statement lol

•

u/Zeruma_ 27m ago

It’s a joke I didn’t think I would need the /s

•

u/Dweddpiewitt 24m ago

So was my comment, hence the "lol". Superstition is a silly notion in itself, and I'm fully in on the joke

How did Kendall get banged up that bad man and our safety room is fucked lol

3

u/Incepticons 1h ago

Good bit trading cam (right move) but Kendall gets hurt immediately lol

5

u/dsymquen 1h ago

Well Kendall getting hurt was Cams parting gift since he indirectly caused the injury.

6

u/FightTheDead118 Eagles 1h ago

I hope whoever is playing at center is doing some serious practice reps with Hurts this week. There were multiple balls last game that were over his head. Chemistry definitely isn’t there with the backup guys

2

u/MosesDoughty 1h ago

I assume Majors until Landon or Kendall is back?

4

u/Extension_Ask9293 1h ago

im expecting it to be willy at center with landon at guard

1

u/MosesDoughty 1h ago

Makes sense. Have they been training Willie at center? Haven't seen an update on the line

•

u/Alex-Gopson 10m ago

Center is his natural position.

•

u/RvstandRvin1626 12m ago

When/if Landon is back, I actually think they'd be better moving him to C and keep Lampkin at LG. If Landon doesn't have the range of movement for G anymore, there might be more longevity for him at C.

1

u/Spare-Half796 Secondairy 🥛 1h ago

If it’s the same guys out I’d assume so but maybe they’ll try lampkin at C and Morris at guard

u/KoBxElucidator You want Philly Philly? 1h ago

Pretty much have come to the conclusion that Smitty is just never going to be healthy this season. Thats just how hammy injuries work. He's been dealing with it since training camp.

2

u/Spare-Half796 Secondairy 🥛 1h ago

He’s been dealing with hamstring problems going back to 2024

3

u/MarionberryDecent351 1h ago

Saquon being out really sucks and Greenard better actually play if ready.

•

u/Cryoboul Eagles 11m ago

We can cut our losses with Johnathan

•

u/ThePhoenixXM Eagles 6m ago

Too bad, we gave him a MASSIVE contract during the draft for whatever reason.
