E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!! Birds - Rams '25 Game Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Being tired of missing so many games by living here in Panther land, I broke down and subscribed to Sunday Ticket this morning. By halftime I was wishing for a refund. By the end I was celebrating my purchase as one of the smartest things I’ve done lately. 
2 big things that to me really help switch the flow of the game yesterday ... besides the Eagles waking up at halftime. The Eagles putting Fred Johnson in at RT for Pryor. Pryor was brutal and looked like he was on an island. Verse was just schooling him. Keep him at OG period going forward. Johnson played very well and really slowed down the Rams pass rush. The other was when Rams OG Dotson went out hurt. That opened up for Davis and Carter to really start getting penetration into the Rams backfield both on run plays and passing downs.
Good take, thanks. (Other than the skill players, I rarely track who’s in and who’s out.)
We also need to thank and remember it was Howie who made the move to bring Fred back as insurance and was basically an afterthought sending a low round draft pick to the Jaguars for Fred at the time. Man did that move pay off big time yesterday. Also good to see Lane Johnson said it was a stinger and he should be fine to play this week. Another reason why Howie Roseman is one of the best if not the best GM in the NFL.
Pryor has had success at guard. He has value there, IMO. Howie wouldn’t have traded to bring Big Fred back if this wasn’t a known weak point.
The real question is why they want to Pryor at RT first?
That was pretty much my question. Pryor is known to be much better at OG. Should be a question asked to Sirianni and Stout. The only thing that could possibly be I would think is he was traded to the Eagles on August 25 and either there were maybe some questions about knowing the playbook or conditioning? Even that is a big reach. Maybe he hadn't worked his way past Pryor on the depth chart yet? Or possibly he was dinged up and Eagles had concern about playing him?
