I'd probably take the Eagles, as Ertz is a top 3ish tight end in the league, and there's actually chatter out of Eagles camp this year that Goedert, who is just in his 2nd year, is better. Ertz isn't a great blocker, but Goedert is getting a lot of praise for his blocking, as well as being a threat in the passing game. Edit: Sticking with my pick, as I think the Eagles duo is more dynamic and explosive, though we're splitting hairs at this point as they're both great units, but did not realize Ebron had 13 TD's last year. That's impressive. I had Ebron on my fantasy football team last year and really benefited. With Doyle being healthy again, I don’t think that his production will be anywhere near last years. Still like Ebron, but wouldn’t pick him this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said...no way he's hitting same production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 We'll see if it means anything in about 7 months but interesting that Brady put his home up for sale. The way I read his contract extension it also allows him to free agent after this season. I know his wife is the primary income earner in the household but maybe they are starting the process of exiting Boston?? Or maybe not. Just a thought.

He could just be hedging his bets and preparing for life after football. I would guess that Gisele spends a lot of time in NYC and it has been reported that they may be looking to buy in Greenwich, CT. With his bank account he could easily commute from there, their kids would still be excellent schools and she would closer to NYC. As you said though, he is basically on 1-year contracts, so he could be preparing his exit. I've read that the rookie QB they drafted, Jarrett Stidham, is impressing people. I wouldn't put it past Belichick to move on from Brady after the season, especially if there's a deterioration of his skills, which will happen at some point.

Not the I disagree with anything you said...but it does seem that the Pats have a history of building their back-up QBs up for trade bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Not sure if it's the media or the Pats though, but yes guys like Cassell, Brisett and Garoppolo have all been hyped up and never really did much.

rico Posted August 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Per NBC sports... Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has been out of practice with what the team has described as a calf injury. But now Colts owner Jim Irsay has chimed in with a different diagnosis. Irsay said on SiriusXM NFL Radio that Luck is dealing with an issue to a “small little bone.” The calf is a muscle, not a bone. Irsay’s comment suggests that Luck actually has two injuries, the calf injury that the team had previously disclosed, and a bone injury that hadn’t been reported until Irsay mentioned it. Irsay did not specify what part of the body this “little bone” injury is in. Irsay did say, “I really feel very confident that he’s going to find his way through this thing,” but then again Irsay was confident that Luck wouldn’t miss any regular-season games after his 2017 shoulder surgery, and Luck ended up missing the entire season. There’s no reason to think Luck’s current injury is that serious, but there are also increasing reasons to think the current injury is more serious than the Colts let on. He now appears unlikely to play at all in the preseason. Time will tell if he’s ready to go for the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Ballard on conference call tonight said high ankle issue. I'm going to give it another 10 days but the word nervous is officially entering the building. Panic is later. Probably a reason Jacoby Brissett was kept around.

Guys on the radio looked up what Irsay thought it was and it can be cause by an impact injury. It sounds like it is a calcification of the bone caused by the calf injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to panic over something you have no control over. If he plays he plays and if he doesn't then the next man step up. What I really hate is how the media and some fans think they are entitled to know every little detail of what is going on with a players injury. I get so tired of our local radio guys talking about how the Colts can't be trusted or they have lied like they are entitled to this info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one person has handled the lack of information. That's Andrew Luck. Not the Colts, not Ballard,etc....this is all on Andrew Luck. With HIPPA and a few other things he's the only one that can clear up the story. In terms of Colts. JB is capable back up. He has a better line, better receivers, and better coaches around him now. With that said...Colts need Luck or it's maybe a 6-7 win team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
