    I am interested in hearing some other takes from people who know their OL play -- Baldinger can let his enthusiasm run way too far at times.
    Lane won't play at all this preseason, so we should see lots of Jordan
    We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

      I saw it the same way MM. I thought Pryor looked damned good too. Both holds were questionable. He's very quick and play both guard and tackle. Wiz could very well be that surprise cut that a couple of posters here have pointed out. Singleton also had a nice pop as a linebacker too even though he probably will be a numbers victim. I was real happy with all of the linebackers to tell you the truth. We're much better there than we first thought. I'm not wild about Gerry though. I really like our safeties. All 3 of them looked good (Sendejo, Cyprien and Countess) especially Sendejo. I don't know why Maddox was playing but he played great! I'm not too wild about our DEs though. They were all very inconsistent. Thorson wasn't quite as bad as we read about him. He did have a nice 4th down pass dropped and also a deep cross. He'll be OK as a PS QB, at least for awhile. Too bad that we had to trade Bates because he's going to be a good one. There's going to be some tough, tough cuts this year. What a great problem to have!!

        Bates was traded for a camp body, He played a ton of games in the Big 10, I too think he is going to be a decent RT

          Didn't Bates go to NYJ. If that is the case my guess is Douglas wanted him and he and Howie had a handshake deal. I don't think the guy the got has any rave reviews although I could be wrong. Bottom of the roster NYJ guys aren't on my radar or really any thing I have heard about

          Nevermind

            Bates to Buffalo for DE Eli Harold


            Eagles trade for Eli Harold, send Ryan Bates to Bills

            By Dave Zangaro August 09, 2019 6:39 PM

            It’s not the type of big move you’ve been waiting for, but Howie Roseman made a trade on Friday for a veteran defensive end.

            The Eagles acquired 25-year-old Eli Harold from Buffalo for undrafted offensive lineman Ryan Bates from Penn State.

            Harold (6-3, 243) was a third-round pick out of Virginia in 2015 and has played in 61 NFL games with 25 starts. He has nine career sacks.

            After spending his first three NFL seasons with the 49ers, Harold played last season with the Lions. He signed a one-year deal with the Bills this past April. In 13 games with the Lions last season, Harold had a career-high four sacks.

            This move will give the Eagles some more depth at defensive end, a position with questionable depth this season. After Brandon Graham and Derek Barnett, their top reserves are Vinny Curry and Josh Sweat. Despite a strong performance from Daeshon Hall on Thursday night, the Eagles are still trying to get deeper at the position.

            The Eagles have great depth at defensive tackle this season, but defensive end is a different story. Last year, they came into the season with Chris Long and Michael Bennett coming off the bench. This year, their top guys are Curry and Sweat. That’s a considerable drop-off and adding Harold likely won’t do much to change that. But he could help.

            There will be some question about how Harold fits in the Eagles’ 4-3 system. He’s primarily played in a 3-4 defense as an outside 'backer and the Eagles are listing him at 243 pounds. If that’s accurate, he’s easily their lightest defensive end. That’s important to note because DEs in this system are supposed to get after the quarterback, but they’re also supposed to stop the run on their way there.

            The Eagles likely saw that Bates, despite looking solid, wasn’t going to make their roster, so they were at least able to flip the undrafted rookie (and local product) for a player at a position of greater need. That doesn’t mean Harold will make the Eagles’ 53-man roster, but he’ll have a better shot than Bates did.

            After a few injuries, the Bills were desperate for O-line help. This seems like a depth for depth trade.
