While I think this season is a wash because of this virus stuff I still have been reading about the birds. Most, the vast majority of those I have read, feel the birds still need to address a vet RB and DE. They also point out every time that the birds need to roll over as much as they can into next year because they are AT THE BOTTOM as far as the cap goes next year. Caps have been manipulated since they came about so I just throw those articles into the 'whatever' category until we see where they are. But....... I really don't see the wisdom in putting much money into a vet RB. I think Sanders is certainly the workhorse int his crew and looks like a future Duce or Westbrook level back. Scott has show he is definitely an NFL caliber player that made things happen last year. Small maybe, and might not stand the punishment of 18 carries a game, but he is a good second. Clement has show the same thing although injuries have cost him so I am not sure you can depend on him but working as a #3-- eh I'd take the chance. Wish I knew the inside dope on his health projection. What intrigues me are the other three, Holyfield, Killens, and Warren. Between them I think one has to be able to fill the role of a bruiser to get a few carries when needed. I don;t think spending on a RB is a good idea.
The same can be said at DE. I really don't think spending money on Clowney is the way to go. First, he is a pos cheap shot guy. Second, the birds have some guys on the roster that should be ready to step up. If, after camp, it doesn't look like they have someone they can always get Curry back for another year. He won't cost much and knows the Eagles. And he should be able to take a few snaps without wearing down.
Anyway, I'm in the camp they need to see what they have this year.
