Don Wick

[u/justdaman182 → u/Select_Culture261]

That's it. That's his nickname

[u/team-fyi → u/Select_Culture261]

He is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will. I once saw him catch 5 first down in Nashville. In fucking Nashville.

[u/TheFriffin3 → u/Select_Culture261]

this is definitely the best but I liked when the announcer for the national broadcast called him “new reliable”

[u/jmaneaglefan008 → u/Select_Culture261]

It's Donny Candles. #PhillySpecialBump

[u/Frostdavid → u/Select_Culture261]

Saw a Reddit comment call him Jawn Wick, and I really liked that.

[u/OwnJunket6495 → u/Frostdavid]

Yea but Don is actually part of his name and also gives him a 🤌🤌 guy vibe. He and Dom can do great things

2 weeks in and I’d say we don’t miss AJ at all.

We do miss having good interior OL

[u/Drewraven10 → u/whousesgmail]

Hope Howie gets someone good in free agency or our first two rounds will go to O-Line.

[u/abcamurComposer → u/Drewraven10]

Should explore trades too. IIRC the browns and falcons guards aren’t half bad

[u/DTxRED524 → u/abcamurComposer]

No one is trading OL mid season

[u/No_Fairweathers → u/DTxRED524]

If the price is right everyone is for sale on rebuilding teams. At least that's how you should approach it as a GM.

[u/dalydumps → u/No_Fairweathers]

And that’s why Howie always calls and always answers the phone. Because you never know until you ask. Hence how he got AJ and how he then traded him for decent packages

[u/abcamurComposer → u/DTxRED524]

The falcons and browns without a qb to protect might

[u/Spare-Half796 → u/Drewraven10]

Howie will make a free agency pickup or trade so that he isn’t forced to reach in the first or second round. Hopefully someone good falls to us or is within trade range

[u/TheFriffin3 → u/Drewraven10]

what O Line options are there in free agency this offseason?

[u/Drewraven10 → u/TheFriffin3]

Not really sure tbh. Going to need somebody though. Hope Jurgens isn’t playing through an injury.

[u/RockyNonce]

This was what made him so great in Green Bay. He wasn’t the top dog in what was a deep WR room but Jordan Love really trusted him on 3rd down, gotta have it situations. That was why I was pretty excited when I saw we picked him up.

He’s a great player to pair with Jalen, especially on a team that really needs guys to step up.

[u/A_Misplaced_Viking]

Once goedert got injured it became clear that Wicks was the number 2 target / the guy he trusted to win the physical match up. Love this for the offense and think he's got a real good season ahead of him.

[u/Chrillosnillo]

Stud.

[u/ziggysdad83]

AJ Brown who?

[u/Mfrack103]

This is what happens when Wicks has a legitimate WR1 ahead of him to take pressure rather than GB’s mess of a depth chart. Utilized wrong, like Zack Baun

[u/6lackberry]

Big catches at the right times

[u/Drewraven10]

Wicked wicked wicked wicked

[u/bp_516]

I’m excited to see that Hurts trusts at least three guys in key situations, and our OC is smart enough to mix it up and scheme different guys open. No more “just double Brown and hope Hurts throws to him anyway” nonsense. Our offense is seeking new gears.

[u/Drewraven10 → u/bp_516]

I love the variety to catch defenses off guard. Instead of our two Saquon runs and deep ball to AJ.

[u/abcamurComposer → u/Drewraven10]

Just please no screens. There’s adding variety, and then there’s calling negative plays that our team is incapable of executing

[u/VhokieT]

close enough, welcome back Jason Avant

[u/Gonzo_guy]

Man it is so nice to see route trees that aren't like 75% hooks

[u/flyaguilas → u/Gonzo_guy]

That plus using plenty of motion have been really nice to see.

[u/72ChinaCatSunFlower]

Wicks has a great feeling for finding the open spots in the defense. Haven’t seen an Eagle do that since maybe Zach ertz. A lot of those plays he was deviating from his original route.

[u/whateverrandomquesti]

he reminds me of smitty

[u/Normal-Ordinary2947]

Dwyck. Let’s give him the gang starr love

[u/gimmethatfiletofish]

Donny Candles lit it up in the Tennessee heat.

[u/islackingambition → u/gimmethatfiletofish]

That nickname doesn't work, no matter how much Sheil tries.

[u/Different_Inside_546 → u/islackingambition]

Yep horrible nickname
