@@marinasands4319Mitchell is a first round pick his spot is solidified even if he doesn’t start this year. So is Dejean’s. Ringo and Rodgers are essentially battling it out for a future starting spot once slay leaves.
I absolutely hoped that Ringo might grow into a starter. Slay is still the man this year. Next year, when he's a year older, we can feel pretty good about the other guys on the roster. I believed Slay and Rodgers would be the starters this year, and nothing I've yet heard makes me think otherwise. We'll see how camp and the pre-season goes. The pecking orders of many positions are definitely yet to be determined.
wellll i’d rather have reddick on the Eagles and happy. had we not signed bradberry maybe there’s more money to pay reddick and keep him on the team and not holding out. avoiding the drama is nice, but we also want reddick to play and play very well to increase the return on the trade. just because the jets are totally incompetent doesn’t mean howie did everything right.
@@jtk534 I mean you're right that it doesn't necessarily mean Howie is a genius but we saw how Has and Nick got into it on the sidelines, he was obviously not happy w the coaching. I doubt he would have been happy under Nick this year
Eagles have some very tough WR matchups this year...that much inexperience would be more of a liability than anything else. CJ with 5 years would be the most experienced, and we're just hoping he can stay healthy for the whole season
Ringo had 🔥🔥🔥moments last year and he has great size and he is really determined you can see it in his face and hear it in his voice. He built like a saftey too
I’m sooo ready to move on from Slay .. I’m going with Ringo and Rodger’s outside DeJean in the slot and Blankenship CJG at S with Mitchell coming in at some point. We’re so stacked in the secondary keeping Slay just doesn’t make sense especially everyone is learning a new defense. And before anyone says it’s the same scheme just stop because Desai was and is still an amateur
Uhh.. Slay’s been struggling since the 2nd half of the Super Bowl season. It’s widely ignored because of how bad Bradbury’s play has been. Slay is top notch in the locker room and in the community but if Ringo and Q is ready to go, it’s time to make some business decisions.
Talk about jumping the gun ... hes talking about sitting a Perennial pro bowler on the bench because Ringo looks good at practice. (Insert AI practice quote here)
I was wondering this! If the corners have been as good as advertised then Slay’s job should be in jeopardy as well. He’s been good but he’s clearly on the decline. I think he’ll keep his job though.
Y’all keep putting DeJean ahead of the other true cornerbacks is crazy this guy gonna get toasted when season get under way. Y’all jumping the trailer class ahead of safety too, he getting this treatment cause he bright right
It's scary how much better Ringo is than Mitchell right now. In retrospect, this team didn't need to roll the dice on CB from Paducah State in round one, but who knew the kid would be this good this early?
It won't be Rogers, he'll be trade bait by mid-season. Fangio scheme calls for long, tackling corners. Rogers is short but long armed....but we won't know his tackling willingness until the pads come on at camp Slay is NOT a willing tackler but I bet he starts bc he's an OG...He'll be rotated out during the flow of the game and be gone at the end of season
@thomasmottshow I'm not looking at the Haasan situation with the same set of eyes. I don't feel that this hurts the Eagles; because I rather receive something than nothing at all. After this season Haasan could have just walked . Why would you want someone who is clearly not happy about his contract to remain on the team? That could have possibly caused division, and dissension within the locker room. We now have everyone signed, and we can just focus on football, without additional distractions. As long as Howie is the GM, I know he will be able to flip that 3rd round pick (if that's what it ends up being) into something magical. Either way I feel that it was a win win for the Eagles.
Shouldn't be too suprising. Ringo came on at the end of last year and the Eagles saw something in Rogers. Add Mitchell and Cooper and the Eagles have a good problem.
Most likely, it's going to end up being slay and Isiah Rodgers/ on the outside, Tyler hall at the nickel and cj and they going to pic up a safety, like end up getting Simmons to be the other starter
I’ve said it before: I love slay but it’s the best business move for the team to trade him in favor of opening up that roster spot for one of the young cbs. A move not popular now but in the event that whoever is cut in favor of slay balling out for a decade for another team while we had one or two more good years of slay, I say they should. I understand it’s all based on hypotheticals but hoping slay can continue to play at his elite level at his age is also hypothetical so there trading slay gives the eagles the best return on investment but will they do it? I doubt it but I’ve been surprised before especially considering that trading slay now returns even better prospects than if we wait a year or two when he might be valued less than he is today
Let’s play defenders that will actually tackle. When Sydney Brown got hurt in the last week of the regular season there were a lot of the secondary thinking how they didn’t want to be rehabbing in the offseason.
I kind of want them to move Maddox to safety to free up another spot for corners. Maddox gets injured every year I don’t want to lose a great young prospect because we don’t have room on our roster.
Been saying since the draft trade slay and get the best value because we need to play these younger cbs and get them on the field . Don’t want to waste years of young better corner back play just to release them and have them go off and be starters for every other team . We have too many young solid corners to be holding on to the last . I love slay but he got ate up all year last season and it’s getting older and more injury prone every year
Isaiah Rogers is the best corner on the team, I think we start the year out with him and slay, but slay will come down with his seasonal injury and I don’t see Ringo giving that spot back up.
I can’t believe Ringo is the youngest CB! Can’t help but think those picks motivated him to be even better and try to earn the spot. Man slay seems like he’s going to have to earn HIS spot. Still super interesting what’s going to happen. Really glad we have slay to mentor these really young players. I was really leaning rodgers slay but we’ll see. It really all depends on what happens during training camp maybe preseason but lots of options and lots of tools for fangio to figure out in this secondary.
Getting at least a 3rd possibly a 2nd for a player holding out for a bigger contract who doesn’t fit Fangio’s scheme is a great move by Howie, now let’s follow that up with a Bradbury release

Ringo + Mitchell on the outside with Cooper in the nickel is an awesome CB room for the future
YUP
Ringo and Rodgers with Cooper
Rodgers is a baller.

Ringo can’t cover
I’d like to see a legends edition of madden with kelce and Aaron Donald since both retired

Howie Roseman working his magic like always…especially with the Hassan Reddick drama! Go birds!🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Literally
He traded a 3rd for Kenny Pickett and gutted the defense last year. Let's not act like Howie is some golden boy and doesn't make dumb fucking moves.
@@weedasaurusrexbro it was a late round pick he used to trade for picket
@@bradycoughlin5 It was a 3rd from this years draft
Are we done questioning Roseman? Lol the Reddick thing got Howie smelling like roses fr

I agree, getting at least a 3rd possibly a 2nd for a player holding out for a bigger contract who doesn’t fit Fangio’s scheme is a great move
Nah he’s had some bad drafts too not everything is a hit
Ringo + Mitchell outside Rodgers nickel, CJ + Dejean safeties
I'm not starting 2 rookies at the ost important position on the the defense.
Love it slay and bardberry got to go taking up slots for the young guys and slay HATES to tackle man get him gone
Eagles have some very tough WR matchups this year...that much inexperience would be more of a liability than anything else. CJ with 5 years would be the most experienced, and we're just hoping he can stay healthy for the whole season
This is the formula for success.
Rodgers better than ringo outside
Ringo had 🔥🔥🔥moments last year and he has great size and he is really determined you can see it in his face and hear it in his voice. He built like a saftey too
Mitchell and Dejean don't start
Madden hates eagles I think Jason Kelce should have been 25 madden cover
Cooper is not beating out Rodgers or Maddox for that slot spot next season. Yall tripping
I’m sooo ready to move on from Slay ..
I’m going with Ringo and Rodger’s outside DeJean in the slot and Blankenship CJG at S with Mitchell coming in at some point.
We’re so stacked in the secondary keeping Slay just doesn’t make sense especially everyone is learning a new defense. And before anyone says it’s the same scheme just stop because Desai was and is still an amateur
SAME HERE...TRADE SLAY AND LET HIM TALK ABOUT THAT!!!!
Dejean is behind Maddox and Hall at slot and our safety room is weak
It looks like the Eagles fans and media are trying to give Cooper DeJean the Caitlin Clark treatment because he’s bright lite🤔🤔
I agree 💯 not feeling it.. we all know why.... FLY EAGLES FLY
DaJean should play safety him and Sydney brown pair would b wild
Ringo and Mitchell at the outside still gone b nuts
Slay’s job is definitely not in jeopardy. They are keeping Slay, a veteran presence is needed in the secondary. Now next year who knows?
Uhh.. Slay’s been struggling since the 2nd half of the Super Bowl season. It’s widely ignored because of how bad Bradbury’s play has been. Slay is top notch in the locker room and in the community but if Ringo and Q is ready to go, it’s time to make some business decisions.
Who stood out the most to YOU during Minicamp?
The Defense flashing if the d can be any better we are in for amazing year.
not a standout due to injury but Im still very high on sydney, I think his ball skill is inhuman its just his technique that needs some work.
Devon White and Ringo
Mad hyped about Keeley Ringo looking as good as he has so far! I can't wait to see him at training camp!
Talk about jumping the gun ... hes talking about sitting a Perennial pro bowler on the bench because Ringo looks good at practice. (Insert AI practice quote here)
I was wondering this! If the corners have been as good as advertised then Slay’s job should be in jeopardy as well. He’s been good but he’s clearly on the decline. I think he’ll keep his job though.
Philadelphia inquirer isn’t a reputable source for anything
they have a picture of me in a Santa costume up there so I back them now
Why not?
😂😂😂😂
@@Greatguy11237😂😂😂😂
Who is anymore
Y’all keep putting DeJean ahead of the other true cornerbacks is crazy this guy gonna get toasted when season get under way. Y’all jumping the trailer class ahead of safety too, he getting this treatment cause he bright right
Dang they missed the chance for a TE & Center combo cover with the Kelce brother's after the Superbowl...if only they had Taylor earlier
The Corners are so hard to predict now but i definitely see our starters from last being pushed out this year at some point.
I think Aj brow or barkley bc they will go off this season.
Slay has missed games in the last few seasons. Father time is undefeated.
Remember the person who said that Reddick wasn't worth the money? Hey, wait -- that was me!
And you was wrong then
I'm looking forward to watching our secondary put in work, anything is a upgrade from last year 👍👍👍👍
It's scary how much better Ringo is than Mitchell right now. In retrospect, this team didn't need to roll the dice on CB from Paducah State in round one, but who knew the kid would be this good this early?
Also bringing in that CB from Paducah State really upped the mindset of all the others. I think that’s why the competition is so fierce.
@@joshprout1726 Ringo saw films of the Bowling Green game and knew he had to kick his game into another gear!
What a great problem to have With the DBs
You sounding crazy. Ringo hasnt proved anything nothing lol. Plzzz.😮😮😮
We should have got a Kelce and Donald cover.
Rodgers and Ringo/Mitchell outside, Cooper DeJean in the slot. Blankenship and Cjbj until cjbj goes out hurt,then Maddox
It won't be Rogers, he'll be trade bait by mid-season.
Fangio scheme calls for long, tackling corners. Rogers is short but long armed....but we won't know his tackling willingness until the pads come on at camp
Slay is NOT a willing tackler but I bet he starts bc he's an OG...He'll be rotated out during the flow of the game and be gone at the end of season
Calling it now... Isaiah Rodgers or Devin White getting comeback player of the year 🦅🦅🦅 Go birds!!!
After Geno won it over BG, I lost faith in the voters. What did Geno come back from?

Reddick was locker room blight. Good riddance. 3rd or 2nd round picksare still nothing to snuff at.
Shouldn't be too suprising. Ringo came on at the end of last year and the Eagles saw something in Rogers. Add Mitchell and Cooper and the Eagles have a good problem.
Saquon will be on next years Madden cover
Mitchell and ringo outside rodgers Nickle reed and cj safety , dejean backs up all positions and can be used as Swiss Army knife
Camp will be combative. The Cherokee reservation guy
What would be the hiccup in going back to the Kelly Green full time? Like what are the rules surrounding that?
Most likely, it's going to end up being slay and Isiah Rodgers/ on the outside, Tyler hall at the nickel and cj and they going to pic up a safety, like end up getting Simmons to be the other starter

To answer if u had to chose a madden athlete from the eagles who’s not hurts I’d prolly say Jalen Carter dude has Arron Donald type potential
keep the madden curse away from us we good! LMAO😂😂
Let’s play defenders that will actually tackle. When Sydney Brown got hurt in the last week of the regular season there were a lot of the secondary thinking how they didn’t want to be rehabbing in the offseason.
Slay got maybe 2 years being elite then we have Ringo in bradberry spot and Q in Slays spot with Cooper in the nickel
Going into the season with that much inexperience at CB would not be a good thing, you'd be foolish to think otherwise.
Ringo Dejean Mitchell starting 2025
Slay stays because he's good and you need veterans presence with all of the young DBs.
I'm sorry I don't know where they get Slay had a good year last season. He was getting beat a lot. No one paid attention because Bradberry was so bad.
I kind of want them to move Maddox to safety to free up another spot for corners. Maddox gets injured every year I don’t want to lose a great young prospect because we don’t have room on our roster.
I've been saying this all off season. If Howie roseman can get something for slay then he's getting traded.
Arod is coming for another MVP. Or Jalen if he learns the offense fast enough cause our O is loaded!
Do we really need a 2nd round draft pick.. it was priceless to avoid this holdout!!!
Been saying since the draft trade slay and get the best value because we need to play these younger cbs and get them on the field . Don’t want to waste years of young better corner back play just to release them and have them go off and be starters for every other team . We have too many young solid corners to be holding on to the last . I love slay but he got ate up all year last season and it’s getting older and more injury prone every year
the last madden 25 had two running backs...
Something tells me that Reddick wouldn't have held out here.
I want quinyon and slay then rodgers in slot depending on how coop plays and reed and cjgj
Isaiah Rogers is the best corner on the team, I think we start the year out with him and slay, but slay will come down with his seasonal injury and I don’t see Ringo giving that spot back up.
Smitty will be an all-pro this year! I just love his attitude and they way he plays within our system!
Nah. We don’t need that Madden curse. Leave that for the whiners.
Slay and his mouth need to be traded. His ass will definitely be on the bench.
Don’t want eagles on madden I believe in the curse 😭😭
Slay has been acting a lil funny since we got all these new corners… he doesn’t feel at home anymore he feels the pressure
Slay is going to have to tackle better or he may get benched.
I can’t believe Ringo is the youngest CB! Can’t help but think those picks motivated him to be even better and try to earn the spot. Man slay seems like he’s going to have to earn HIS spot. Still super interesting what’s going to happen. Really glad we have slay to mentor these really young players. I was really leaning rodgers slay but we’ll see. It really all depends on what happens during training camp maybe preseason but lots of options and lots of tools for fangio to figure out in this secondary.
Should be Jason and Travis for the 25 Madden cover
Love the content, thanks for the timestamps :)
I feel like a Steelers running back made it on the cover
Doesn’t madden 25 cover have rb?
Next Year Madden cover - Thomas Mott
Why are we covering Hassan reddick
Slay and Rodgers or Rodger and Ringo to start the season
Saquon Barkley on Madden 26.
I dont see Slay struggling.
Ringo and Q future bright
Jalen carter cover of madden next year!
Put Howie roseman on the cover
Not a fan of Kelly green 🤷🏻♂️
Rodgers and slay probably
I think I-Rodg is gonna be a good edition. Our secondary was soft last yr. Hopefully we can be top 10 at least. And have some hitters
Competition just brings the dawg out of players. Ringo probably wouldnt be making this leap if the eagles didnt draft two potential starting CB's
Kelce for madden 26 cover
Why is Slay making sh*t up 😂
Kelce for the cover
Saquan for the cover, making the Giants hate themselves. Also with Ringo’s size and speed he could be super dominate as a safety imo.
Let’s all welcome Mcaffrey to the Madden curse!!!
Don’t wish that on him
AJ Brown Madden Cover
Ap was on madden 25 cover
Getting at least a 3rd possibly a 2nd for a player holding out for a bigger contract who doesn’t fit Fangio’s scheme is a great move by Howie, now let’s follow that up with a Bradbury release
Thomas all it means that it's not our problem no more but we love hem... Go birds 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Slay, and Rogers
AJ Brown
It must be difficult keeping us interested in the Eagles because of these non stories and faux drama
Non story?
There is always a chance of injuries before the season starts. Depth a corner is a great problem to have. 🏈
Very good point
Did you forget Marshall Faulk was on the madden cover as well for running backs
I think he's talking about white rbs
Slay & Rodgers
big Dom on the cover
Aj brown or smitty
