Quote from: Jclayton92 on May 21, 2024, 08:07:44 PMOtAs day 2 and I saw Ezeudu was taking snaps at LT and LG and it made me cringe. I have wanted them to just let the kid learn LG for a full offseason.
I think @Ed Vette has also been a huge advocate of letting the kid play LG for an entire offseason to see what we actually have and they just wont.
Quote from: PSUBeirut on May 21, 2024, 07:12:43 PMI think there's also a good number of folks in the fanbase that are still stung by Barkley essentially being right all along about his worth on the market and pretty much everyone else being wrong. Even the bitcoin thing he took so much slack for looks to have bounced back in a huge way (if he even stuck with it...who knows).
And Rich- I have an awful feeling that the hype train is not going to be the only thing to worry about when Barkley comes to town. My gut having watched him for many years is that he's going to want to ring it up against us because of all the silly fan vitriol that's been spewed his way (and I think the Eagles staff, being the a-holes they are, will absolutely work to accommodate this happening). So, that's definitely my bigger worry when he comes back to town.
As for me- no surprises here, I'm hoping he finally gets a creative OC and a solid OL to run behind- and, even if diminished by injury, gets back to that upper echelon of RB that he's worked so hard to be. Just not against us.
Quote from: Philosophers on May 21, 2024, 10:24:06 AMHe's not so special that if the OL only allows a very amount of time before a QB gets hit that he will be effective. NFL CBs can tie him early for a split second to screw up any effectiveness. It's about the OL.
Quote from: T200 on May 21, 2024, 02:52:52 PMHe was a good Giant and I bear no ill-will towards him. If he succeeds elsewhere, even with a rival, I'm happy for him.
If we can post every failure of Toney's and he was barely here, I can only imagine what we're going to see every time Barkley comes up short.

In a sense, we sort of have heard the police's side of the story. They released an official police report detailing their account of the incident, and they brought charges against Scheffler. To me that qualifies as their "side" of the story.
As far as people auto-assuming things that suit an agenda, I know where you're coming from there, and I try not to always auto-assume the worst about cops until I have enough information where I feel that view is firmly backed up by facts. What I would say though is Scheffler has a pretty pristine reputation and is universally considered a great guy, a family guy, a person of faith, etc. He is the last person anyone would consider a trouble maker. While none of that guarantees he did not step over the line in this incident, his reputation probably earns him the benefit of the doubt, which, quite frankly, everyone accused of a crime in this country is entitled to.
A man spends a lifetime building/earning a reputation and that reputation should mean something in times like this. To assume this man is guilty is just plain wrong.
