    Watching GMFB and they are talking about Eli, I might just be getting caught up in the excitement but man I think we got a player. I wanted Skattebo last season, looks like we got our version this year. That might be a more fair comp than the CMC ones they are making but if he lives up to those, hell that would be great.


    On an aside, they move onto highlighting Uar Bernard a DL the Eagle picked, holy **** this guy is sculpted from granite. Feel bad for anyone that gets hit by that.

    Bernard is 6' 4" 306 lbs, ran a 4.63 40-yard dash, had a 39 in vertical, and a broad jump of 10'-10".

    To put this dude into perspective, he weighs 40 lbs more than Myles Garrett and is faster than him. He is an absolute physical freak.

    Letting Porter get away would be incredibly stupid.

    Scott is a much better player than Everette and both would fill needs. I'm not suggesting they could play Scott outside. I was thinking slot corner, which has been a huge weakness for years. Echols had decent moments, but go back and watch the losses to the Chargers and Texans if you think he is the answer. Scott could also have ended up at safety, which is a huge need. They have Brisker and a bunch of band aids at safety right now.

    I'm still not even convinced that he will stay at running back. Heidenreich might be better as a slot receiver who can move to the backfield in certain passing situations.

    His comp based on combine measurables is a faster Tony Pollard.

    Certainly possible, he’ll be a Swiss Army knife for them or maybe thats Swiss Navy knife.
