Howe: No Parker for Sunday

[BadMoFo]

Makes sense to use more TEs anyway. The Eagles managed to keep their top CB group together, but they lost both starting ILBs and both starting safeties in free agency.

The players spent more time in training camp getting hurt than practicing, it seems.

 

[StrawHatPatriot]

Yikes.

I hate to beat a dead horse on the whole DHop thing, but... some of our receivers are already injury prone. Parker, Thornton, etc. And that's not including JuJu's knee. So still don't see why we couldn't give a simple 2 year deal to DHop

 

[Brick27]

Hopefully more opportunity for Bourne to be involved

 

[PaulNEPats]

Should’ve used the money on DHop.

 

[slash83]

Damn couldn’t even make it to week 1 without missing a game. Shouldn’t have got cheap with Hopkins.

I have a hunch we're going to be surprised with solid production from Bourne, Boutte and Douglas this season.

We hopes so. Is solid enough?

 

[Tunescribe]

From those three? Yes.

 

[PatsFan2]

Parker and injuries are pretty synonymous. Really hope Bourne steps up tomorrow with one or two of our Rookies.

 

[Wozzy]

Juju, Bourne, Douglas, Boutte.

Use the TE's.

Use Marcus Jones, use Ty Montgomery.

Bring Thyrick Pitts back.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Time to unleash Pop Douglas.

I think the Dhop thing was a bit of a ruse. I dont know how serious they really were bc it felt like they only wanted him on their terms (I think they said BB had to be talked into it or something).

 

[TinhWoodhead]

dhop secretly wanted more bacons

 

[PP2]

Time to unleash Pop Douglas.

He's gonna pop.

Agreed, the Eagles will be weaker in the middle of the field. The TEs and slot receivers should see more targets.

 

[Patsgofor4]

It’s fine. The Eagles are vulnerable in the middle of the field (safety and LB are the weak spots on D). This is a get the ball put of Mac’s hands quickly to Pop, Bourne, Gesicki and Ty Monty between the hashes game.

 

[patsinthesnow]

We are going to learn quickly if douglas can play. Both deep threats out of the game in parker & thornton isn't ideal.

 

[Triumph]

Cant wait to see Thornton play.
