My First Glimpse At The Eagles 2021 Rookie Class

On Friday afternoon, the Eagles rookies worked out for the first time with head coach Nick Sirianni and the Birds assistant coaches overseeing the workout. As a member of the media, we were able to check them out for only twenty minutes, but it gave me a chance to get a quick picture of a number of the draft picks.

Eagles first round draft pick DeVonta Smith was showing off his soft hands prior to the workout.  He caught pass after pass as it was thrown over his left shoulder then his right shoulder.  It was easy to see, why he catches everything in sight.  He works on it. I couldn’t help but notice his ultra-skinny legs.  If I were Smith I would wear either sweatpants or the football pants with the pads in them. Once he starts doing damage to opposing defenses nobody will be talking about his skinny legs, but up until then, you can’t help but notice them.

Second round pick Landon Dickerson is a big physical guy, who participated in the workout.  I was amazed that he was working out with the team because he had a ACL tear just three months ago.  He definitely looked stiff to me.  His lack of flexibility has probably played a role in his injuries.  The Eagles training staff needs to work with him on his flexibility because a stiff guy is going to have more problems with his knees and ankles because of his lack of flexibility.

I took a look at fourth round draft pick, Zeck McPhearson, but I don’t think I was looking at an outside cornerback.  From the quick look I got, I didn’t see the type of quickness you need on the corner in the NFL.  I got only a quick glimpse at him, so I could be wrong, but I didn’t think I saw NFL cornerback quickness.

The Eagles fifth round draft pick,  Kenneth Gainwell is bigger than I thought he would be.  He’s not a little guy, like Darren Sproles.  He’s bigger, so that will help him as he competes with NFL linebackers, safeties and cornerbacks.   He’s definitely big enough to play running back on the NFL level, because he’s got the the muscle in his shoulders and upper body.  The upper body muscles will help him take the hits on the NFL level.   I definitely get the thumbs up to the size of fourth round pick.

It was hard to tell much more than that because we only watched them do warm-ups and then do some individual drills.

A NIce Signed for an experienced Pass-Rusher to give 15-20 Quality Snaps a Game similar to what Chris Long and Vinny Curry provided the last few Season

The fire howie crowd are sheep … ridiculous! He built the championship roster. Like all GMs he tried to keep the window open…by doing that he traded sone picks and paid money… it’s what he had to do. Now faced with sone older players and limited cash he had a nice draft, signed a couple of free agents…. the guy knows what he’s doing

#1 Seed means Zippo in the meaningless Regular NBA Season
What Counts begins next Week and the
76ers better Hope they don’t Face the Heat or Knicks in the 1st Round or
or may be be a long Summer for 76ers Fans and the Team

#1 SEED MEANS SIXERS ARE IN A CAKE WALK TO EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS AGAINST DOGSHIT TEAMS WHILE BUCKS AND NETS GET REAL TESTS. IF SIXERS DONT MAKE ECF THEN EMBIID, DOC, BEN, MOREY, BRAND AND EVeRY PERSON INVOLVED IN THE ORG SUCKS.

WE CAKE WALK TO ECF PERIOD

Cake-Mix in your Face You Stunaad!!
76ers have no idea what just him them in this First Half and we’re DOMINATED on their own Floor giving Up 70 + Points 8”in 24 Minutes
HWks run a Quick Tempo with too many Shooters and Trae Young is killing
At this Pace/Tempo, Embiid’s impact is lessened and the 76ers will have to go to a smaller, more athletic lineup in order to compete .. Will they do this or keep trading 2 Points and time off the Clock for 3 Pt Shots by the Hawks..
Loving it and a Fun Brand of School Yard Basketball to Watch… For 76ers, this in a unsustainable, for the Hawks, this is how they Play ..
An Easy Walk for the 76ers!!!
Ha you really know Basketball don’t you Fool!!

76ers/Wizards Start series today a 1pm
Should be a competitive Series that 76ers Win
In 6 Games, maybe 5 if they start at Home with 2 Wins but Westbrook/Beal are a strong Tandem who will compete and keep the Wizards in Games but they have no answer slowing down Embiid who should dominate this Series..
Who else steps up and plays well this series on both sides of the Ball, T Harris, Simmons, Milton, Kormaz, Green or Seth Curry, Maxey and even D Howard and G Hill can contribute off the Bench with nice Games

I was at the game today. My observations…. the wizards aren’t going to push the sixers. Beal got his but they don’t have enough to stop Embiid. 2. Simmons is frustrating to watch, 15 boards, 15 assists, 6 points 0-6 from the line tremendous defense he shoots worse than the 6th man on a decent high school team but is amazing everywhere else…puzzling. The sixers keeping the ball out of his hands in crunch time is going to haunt them, Harris is over criticized cuz fans are jealous of his money, Maxey has a future I hope he isn’t trade bait, Howard is a tremendous pick up.
So nice to be in a loud arena even if we had to wear masks,
