The Linc - Nick Foles to the Jaguars for Leonard Fournette?

Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...

2019 NFL Mock Draft: Jaguars trade Leonard Fournette for Nick Foles, Bengals replace Andy Dalton - CBS Sports One problem here: I don’t think the Jags are going to give up No. 7 overall in exchange for Nick Foles. You could work out a deal where the Jags send No. 7 and No. 69 to the Eagles for Foles, No. 26 and No. 54 (the trade value basically makes Foles worth the 28th overall pick, which is probably a reasonably fair swap), but Jacksonville is going to likely lose high-end, expensive talent to free agency as a result of salary-cap issues. Jacksonville would like to use the seventh pick to either replace the talent or to secure another young quarterback for the long haul. How about we make both front offices happy instead? The Jaguars can send Leonard Fournette -- their former top pick and a very talented player who has struggled with injuries and hasn’t meshed well with the front office -- to the Eagles for Foles and a throw-in pick down the road. There are some contractual issues here that might hold things up on both ends. Foles is either going to have his option picked up or will be given the franchise tag and traded. So he won’t be cheap. Fournette isn’t cheap either -- he has a top-10 salary over the next two years at the running back position. Philly might not be willing to spend at the position, but Fournette is a better pass catcher than he gets credit for, and he could excel in Doug Pederson’s scheme. The Eagles were at their best with LeGarrette Blount and Jay Ajayi running downhill.

2019 NFL Mock Draft Roundup: Eagles add interior pass rush - BGN Six out of nine picks are linemen. We all know the Eagles are not shy to invest premium resources in the trenches.

Offseason Talk - Iggles Blitz There is a feeling in the Tampa media that the Bucs could cut DE Vinny Curry and/or DT Beau Allen. Hmm. The Bucs are expected to play more of a 3-4 under Todd Bowles. That could make both guys expendable. If so, the Eagles could talk to one or both about coming back to add depth to the DL. While both players loved their time in Philly, price would be an issue. While neither player had a good season, they aren’t likely to come crawling back to the Eagles for peanuts. They’d want reasonable money. Keep an eye on this.

Projecting which Eagles player is next to make the Pro Bowl - NBCSP Alshon Jeffery: His last Pro Bowl appearance was in 2013 when he was still with the Bears, but Jeffery clearly has the talent of a Pro Bowler, although his numbers in his first two seasons with the Eagles have been modest. In the two years, he’s averaged 61 catches, 816 yards and 7.5 touchdowns per season. Another year like that and he won’t be a Pro Bowler. But he played through a torn rotator cuff in 2017 and then missed three games to start 2018 because of it. If he can stay healthy and play a full season with a healthy Carson Wentz, there’s a good chance he could take a spot in the annual All-Star showcase.

1-On-1: Joe Douglas - PE.com Vice President of Player Personnel Joe Douglas joins Fran Duffy at the Senior Bowl to discuss what he’s seen from some of the nation’s top college prospects and what he’s looking for from this year’s stellar crop of underclassmen.

10 Biggest Winners Of Senior Bowl Week - The Draft Network 1. Penny Hart, WR, Georgia State. Nobody went from as unknown to as intriguing as Penny Hart, who eviscerated defensive backs for three straight days during practices. I called him my biggest winner of the week on the Draft Dudes podcast, and nothing has changed even though he had a quieter Senior Bowl game — his roster was filled with slot receivers.

Best of Senior Bowl week: QB rankings, NFL draft risers, biggest takeaways, more - ESPN In$ider Which prospects’ draft stock rose the most this week? Montez Sweat, DE, Mississippi State. At 6-6 and 252 pounds, Sweat is an explosive speed rusher who is strong enough to go through offensive tackles and athletic enough to work the weave when they take away the edge. He is on the leaner and lighter side for a defensive end, yet he’s stout setting the edge against the run. He gets off the ball, he shoots his hands inside and he has the length (35⅝-inch arms) to keep blockers off his frame.

Bang for their Bucs: Wide Receiver, DeSean Jackson - Bucs Nation One could argue Jackson gave up on his team. There were times where it certainly appeared that way on the field, and on Instagram. However, looking at some of the usage numbers compared to the way other teams use receivers of similar talents, and maybe you can start to understand why he was so frustrated. Without stepping into the locker room, it’s hard to know exactly why his numbers became skewed in the way they did. No matter how you slice it, Jackson had more targets 20-yards or more downfield than he did 10-yards and less. For a receiver facing off coverage as much as Jackson does, those numbers shouldn’t be like that. Was it Winston? Was it Koetter? Was it Monken? We don’t know. I’d love to have Jackson on the Locked on Bucs podcast to discuss it - honestly and openly - but I don’t know that he feels there’s anything worth talking about. For now, we have the numbers and our perceptions.

Valentine’s Views: The Kansas City Plan sounds like a winner - Big Blue View I have suspected for a while that the New York Giants would like to emulate that plan, and a report Saturday evening by Paul Schwartz of the New York Post confirms that “More and more, this appears to be the scenario about to unfold for the Giants.” There is a lot to unpack from Schwartz’s report. The upshot, though, is that if Schwartz is correct — and as well-connected as the veteran Post writer is there is no reason to doubt his reporting at all — Manning will be back in 2019. A highly-drafted heir apparent could well be alongside him. If the Giants can find that guy.

Cowboys’ in-house OC search only shines brighter light on one of the biggest indictments of Jason Garrett’s tenure - SportsDay The addition of Jon Kitna means there have been 19 coaches to work under Garrett on the offensive side of the ball in his eight full seasons as head coach. Name the assistants who have left his staff to oversee the offense of another NFL team. None. Former wide receivers coach Derek Dooley is currently the coordinator at Missouri. Garrett’s brother, John, was the coordinator at Oregon State and Richmond before landing a job as the Lafayette head coach. But not one assistant has left the Cowboys offensive staff for a better job in the NFL since Garrett has been the head coach.

NFL owner’s superyacht catches the attention of a Presidential candidate - PFT When it comes to keeping up with the Joneses, Daniel Snyder continues to fall short. And the competition regarding which man has the biggest five-letter thing (yacht, or otherwise) has caught the attention of one of the umpteen candidates for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency in 2020. Elizabeth Warren has taken to Twitter to call out the Washington owner for his purchase of a very big boat. “This billionaire NFL owner just paid $100M for a ‘superyacht’ with its own iMax theater,” Warren said. “I’m pretty sure he can pay my new #UltraMillionaireTax to help the millions of yacht-less Americans struggling with student loan debt.”

8 ways Saints fans are overreacting hilariously to NFC Championship loss to Rams - The Falcoholic And hoo boy, are they ever mad. Harry Connick Jr. is boycotting the Super Bowl and shared the mad online letter he wrote to Roger Goodell on Instagram. And a church in New Orleans is offering the opportunity for disgruntled Saints fans to work through their frustration by throwing a penalty flag during services on Sunday. But these fine folks aren’t satisfied with tossing flags around and being mad online. They’re also doing a bunch of absurd things in real life in their quest for justice, and today seems like a great time to revel in it and laugh at all of this ridiculousness.

The Saints really didn’t need Sen. Bill Cassidy to argue on their behalf in Congress - SB Nation It was a Friday in Congress with no significant votes on the docket, just a discussion about sending money and weapons to the Middle East. The U.S. Government was in the midst of a shutdown — the announcement of our government’s temporary re-opening had yet to come. That made it the perfect possible time for one senator to ... pander to the home crowd with a little discussion about football. Yup. The growing wave of complaints of Saints fans cheated out of a Super Bowl 53 appearance crested to a logical escalation Friday. In the span of five days, New Orleans has leveled up from punched televisions to billboards to change.org petitions to class action lawsuits, and now, a debate on the floor of the United States Senate.

Gig Survey 2017

Top 10 shows of the year?

Tove Lo, Shepherds Bush Empire, London, 17th March

Lorde, Brighton Centre, 30th September

Kesha, Electric Brixton, 14th November

Lucy Rose, Electric Rooms, Southampton, 24th November

Blondie, Hyde Park, London, 30th June

Marmozets, The Haunt, Brighton, 22nd August

Sainte, Hoxton Square Bar & Grill, London, 11th August

Lucy Rose, Whelans, Dublin, 11th November

Billy Lunn, Prince Albert, Brighton, 16th August

Phil Collins, Hyde Park, London, 30th June

Total number of shows?

A scant 21, down eleven from the year before (and six down from 2015)

First show of the year?

Gabrielle Aplin, at the Haunt in Brighton on Valentine’s Day.

Last show of the year?

Lucy Rose, at a roller rink in Southampton on November 24th.

Most surprising show?

Blondie. I hoped they’d be good, I didn’t expect them to be that great!

Most disappointing?

Paramore at the Royal Albert Hall. It was stinking hot, and the new stuff didn’t grab me at all.

Farthest travelled?

Dublin! First show outside England since Garbage in Paris, May 2012. Dublin was around 700km away from home.

States attended shows in?

Cheerful, grateful, euphoric, terrified, bored, knackered.

Venue most visited?

The Haunt and Resident Records, both in Brighton, both visited twice. The Haunt would’ve had a third entry but Against The Current took on the mantel of the We Are The In Crowd curse and we had another funeral the day before.

Worst injury?

A digestive issue before the Lucy Rose instore at Pie & Vinyl, Southsea. Also the Gabrielle Aplin gig was two days after I ran a half marathon so my legs were protesting somewhat.

Most expensive ticket?

The Phil Collins/Blondie ticket was by far and away the most expensive.

Band seen the most?

Lucy Rose again, six times this year (up from four the last year, and down one from 2015).

Best new discovery?

Cheating a little bit, because my new discoveries this year have mostly been away from gigs, but Sigrid, Camilla Cabello, Julia Michaels, Kesha, Now Now, and Louisa Johnson all popped up on my radar this year.

Bands seen this year that also broke up this year?

None! Yet. Thankfully.

Friends made at shows?

I mostly went to gigs with Dana so didn’t really talk to anyone else. However, about a week after I handed in my notice at my job, I got talking to one of the new joiners and found out that our music tastes overlapped to the point where a Venn diagram of the two would be pretty much a circle, so that was nice.

Band members met?

Lucy Rose, but she doesn’t count. Billy Lunn, but he doesn’t count either. Chronologically - Rose Elinor Dougall, Oh Wonder, Tay Jardine, Lorde (veeery briefly), and Jamie and Becca from Anavae.

Best souvenir from a show?

More Lucy Rose tea, but that was more of a replenishing of my supply than anything else. My Sainte tee is lovely coloured, my Lorde tee fits me very well, and my Tove Lo long sleeve tee is comfy even though I can’t wear it because of the naughty word embroidered across the front.

Longest time in line?

An hour or so on a cold Brixton street before Kesha. An increasingly irritated hour outside Tove Lo afterwards subjected to the karaoke of her hits by her fans.

Shows seen from the barricade [front row]?

Billy at the Prince Albert, Rose in London and Lucy in Hove and Dublin.

Most shows in one month?

July, August and November had four apiece (not all of which were Lucy Rose!)

Most shows in one week?

Four in a week in July, and we also fit in a pub quiz, a cinema trip, and had some friends come down too! It helped that 3 out of the 4 gigs were in-stores, and 3 were in Brighton (2 in-stores and a post film concert) but that’s still good going for anti-social animals!

Biggest crowd?

Phil Collins and Blondie in Hyde Park was around 50,000.

Any drunk encounters?

I had beer at pretty much every gig that didn’t take place in a record shop, including the one at a vintage clothing shop, and the video shoot (I was a barman. I had to pour beer for the video. I didn’t want it to go to waste.) However I drank in moderation, so was not drunk at any of them.

Top 5 best 2017 concert moments:

1. Lucy Rose playing it super cool when Dana and I popped up in Ireland without warning (in fact, explicitly telling her we would only see her at one more tour date).

2. Before Kesha came on the (90% camp gay) crowd was warmed up by a Spotify playlist of 70s rock classics. When the opening riff to this blared out you could feel the crowd getting ready to sing along to the Destiny’s Child roll call, expecting Bootilicious. When Stevie Nicks’ vocals kicked in the disappointment was both palpable and hilarious!

3. Tove Lo’s “give no fucks” attitude. Both her gigs were great, but the London gig - on St Patrick’s Day, and at a venue I’ve had issues with shitty crowds at before - was a feedback loop of crowd and artist adoration.

4. A 20 year old New Zealander holding 4,500 people in the palm of her hand.

5. A 72 year old American showing the kids how it’s done at Hyde Park.

6. BONUS MOMENT Oh Wonder having trouble with Dana’s camera, resulting in this wonderful selfie.

Top 3 worst 2017 concert moments:

1. The atrocity that took place in Manchester in May, which (justifiably) prompted the cancellation of the Ariana Grande gig we had tickets to.

2. A dodgy pie resulting in a dash to the loo at one of the Lucy Rose in-stores, losing my front-row spot.

3. Dua Lipa’s headline gig. To relieve the experience, shuffle her album with half a dozen “generic stage banter” mp3s, to have a very similar effect.
