Eagles release S Jarrad Page.

[West Philly Patriot]

Page is better than Brown. 38 not so special should not be playing significant minutes @ safety.

If memory serves Page likes to hit players too. I haven't see Brown show the same aptitude for laying the smackdown either.

The Patriots need to establish the middle of the field as a no go zone. I'm prepared to take a defenseless receiver penalty every now and then so teams get the memo.

Unfortunately we could argue Edelman is a better hitter than both Barrett and Brown.

 

[Ring 6]

You are missing the point, Bill stuck with them. The 85 Bears defense could be available but since Bill chose these guys they are better for our franchise.

Bill didn't choose to have Page so he would be a liability if he played here.

Thats ridiculous, but its kind of hard to get excited about a guy we could have kept and chose not, that went on to get cut by the next team.
Maybe he could be an upgrade, I just don't see much value in the guy.

I'm not sure we're proposing that Page should be starting Andy, more that Sergio Brown has shown significantly poor form that warrants an upgrade at the position.

 

[Ring 6]

I think the unfulfilled promise of Josh Barrett was one of the reasons BB let Merriweather and Sanders go.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I just don't see evidence of BB operating that way.
I don't see him cutting those 2 guys on the promise of someone else, yet keeping Ihedigbo and Brown. I think those guys were cut because they just weren't working out, not because they were pushed out.
There was cetrtainly room on the roster to keep them and Barrett too.

However giving the injury situation we have in the defensive Backfield makes Page a no brainer to bring back.

You may be right, but I don't see Page added much if any help. I'd love a quality safety, but one we let walk who got cut midseason by Philly doesnt seem like much of an answer to me.

I've heard reports that money was the main reason he didn't resign here.

I don't think that was the case, he signed very cheap in Philly.

But now that wouldn't be the case. He's at least familiar with the system and semantics. You might not think he's the "answer" to our Safety issues, but his certainly would be an improvement over what we have playing there now.

Maybe, maybe not. The guy we replace with him isnt going to be playing safety, he is going to be playing special teams. I don't recall Page being much of a special teamer.
I get the hate for Brown, I just think its misdirected at getting a reclamation project who has not played well since a severe injury just to vent that frustration.
If Page could play, I'd be 100% in favor.
I just think this is Good Idea, Wrong Player.

That is a fine idea, but I think this is the wrong player. Beating out Brownn puts him on special teams. Do you really think thats an upgrade?
Perhaps you think Page is a lot better player than I do.

 

[Aßßynormal]

I'm getting the feeling that there's something we don't know about him getting cut.

Perhaps, BB assumes he'll clear waivers to us and asked for him. In which case we will quietly owe something to Philly.

I bet they ask for Mallett (this is a joke ,,,,, although they could need him for next season).

I can remember page making some nice hits.

It's Brown's terrible awareness that really drives me nuts. I can live with him not being a big hitter if Moore/Chung is gonna be in there laying wood. But he falls asleep and forgets basic fundamentals it seems.

 

[Ring 6]

Page is better than Brown. 38 not so special should not be playing significant minutes @ safety.

He played zero minutes at safety last game with one starter inactive, another recently IR'd and a newly signed rookie playing 100% of the snaps.
I don't think we need a transaction to prevent Brown from playing significant minutes at safety.

Brown has been taking snaps @ safety as well as his ST's role this season. Page is a better player than Brown, thats all that matters.

It speaks more about my appraisal of Sergio Brown's performances than it does Page, let's put it that way.

I don't think BB will bring Page in anyway. I don't recall any such signings in recent history.

Neither do I honestly. I think Brown is the superior ST'er so that may keep him the job.

If you say so.
Brown pllayed zero snaps at safety last week, with a newly signed rookie playing instead.
He is, at this point a special teamer. I get the venom towards Brown, but just don't see what Page does for this team at this point. Thats all. You don't have to agree with me, but that is my opinion.

I see it as change for the sake of change.

There's a reason for that.

Tracy White is a ST'er who is adequate enough to see PT while Brown is not @ a thin position just like ILB is. We need guys who can give us something there imo. I like Brown on ST only but we don't have that luxury with safety being as thin as it is.

The best hit I've seen Brown deliver this season was on one of our own CBs as he was trying to make a tackle.

 

[jsull87]

Why wouldn't we look at him? He is a FS who has played in the system... all he has to do is beat out Moore or Ihedigbo and he would make this team better.

What would we have to lose?

The fact that BB thought Ventrone was a better option than Brown on Sunday is telling. Especially when he cuts Ventrone and keeps Brown. That tells me that Brown DOES have some value as a special teamer, but has no business being on the field in a regular D. At this point I'd much rather have Slater or Edelman thrown in there over Brown,

The addition of Page makes too much sense. He is familiar with the defensive schemes and semantics. He has good size at the position, something we sadly lack, and has proven to be a good guy in the box.

Certainly he doesn't solve our coverage issues at the position, but even with his obvious limitations he is an immediate improvement over what we currently have. We NEED to add another S, if not Page.....who?

Clearly Ventrone.. he hasn't been released enough yet.
