Eagles Made Huge Mistake Signing Byron Young? | Chalk It Up Sports

I want to address the signing of 23y old and former 2023 third round pick defensive tackle Byron young now the story goes as such the Philadelphia Eagles decided to claim Byron young off of waivers and he spent his first year of his career with the Las Vegas Raiders now the Raiders they decided to move on from him after only playing in six games as rookie he accumulated 99 snaps on defense and 14 snaps on special teams he really didn't get too much NFL action in his rookie year so it was kind of hard to really judge this brother right again Byron young he's only 23 years old he's 6 foot three 292 pounds he played his college career at Alabama where he put up eight sacks and 22 and a half tackles for loss over the course of Four Seasons now you may ask yourself you may ask yourself why the why would the Raiders move on or just give up on a guy that's so early in his career why would you give up on a guy that you just drafted last year and quite frankly when I hear that and when I see that the first thing thing I say to myself is come on it's the Raiders how much stock can we put into the Las Vegas Raiders decisionmaking have the Raiders built up any Equity over the past I don't know 30 years let's be honest about this how much stock can we put into the Raiders front office how much stock can we put into their coaching staff their evaluators they're how how much stock can we put into those guys right and quite frankly once again there's never much Rhyme or Reason to the Raiders Madness and to add context the Raiders they're currently or they've experienced a new regime change they're experiencing a front office turnover like no other they were they're experiencing a coaching turnover like no other they fired Josh McDaniel or uh yeah Josh McDaniel in the middle of the season they fired him before they fired him before December they fired their the damn near the whole coaching staff before December elevated Antonio Pierce and then and then they decided to commit to him long term or at least for the next three or four years and then you went from the John Gruden Mike mayot group and now you and now you're in the the telesco front office right and there was a front office in between the May group in the telesco group I'm not well versed on Raiders knowledge in the front office but over the course of the past I want to say over the past what five six years they've gone through three wholesale front office and coaching changes how can I put stock in guys that move that way how can I put stock in the words or the evaluation of an organization that has a owner with a ball cut I'm just saying so I think the Byron young Edition a lot of you guys called it by the way a lot of you guys spoke on Byron young being released and a lot of you guys spoke on the Philadelphia Eagles potentially making a move for him and I said it on Twitter Eagles fans you called it you called it you you you had it you had the foresight knowing har Roseman would would make the move to further solidify that defensive line another argument somebody may make one argument another person could make about this move that the Eagles made and the Raiders made is if he's such a good player then why would they release him if he had so much talent why would they release him if they didn't know what they had or if they knew what they had why would they release them right teams don't release good players teams don't cut or trade good players it happens all the time teams cut good players all the time teams release and wave good players all the time teams trade good players all the time we've seen players leave the Philadelphia Eagles Allah Russel Douglas and carve out a solid career for themselves elsewhere we've seen it so I'm not going to sit here and jump out the window and say oh oh my God the Philadelphia Eagles are jumping the gun it's overcorrection this kids a bust they let them go for a reason life isn't always that simple like I said how much stock are we really willing to put into the Las Vegas Raiders when it comes to their front office decisions when it comes to their coaching and I like Antonio Pierce he's a former giant so I should hate him but I like what he did for the Raiders last year he kind of stabilized the ship and he's a black man as a head coach I want him to succeed but the reality is again teams release good players all the time and the Raiders or anyone for that matter hasn't seen enough from from Byron young to make any sweeping generalization or Declaration that he's a good player or a bad player I'm not even here to say Byron young is a great player I'm not even here to say he's a good player but I'm definitely I'm definitely not here to say Byron young is a bad player I'm definitely not here to say that you will not hear me say that you will not hear me say he's great or good you will not hear me say he's bad either I'm Switzerland on Byron young I'm neutral the Eagles wanted to take a shot on to add to their defensive tackle depth I think it's a risk worth taking because and again to add to this to to make room for Byron young the Philadelphia Eagles had to move on from Marlon tootu now don't be surprised if Mor Tory pelu makes it to the Eagles practice squad he's a nose tackle they have value for that don't be surprised if he doesn't make it back to the practice squad they did draft him of course but on top of that we kind of do know what the Marlon 2 pelu show is we know what he is we know who he is right we we we've seen the limitations to his the limitations to his game so I'm not mad at the Philadelphia Eagles taking a shot on the Alabama product and Byron young who's only been in the NFL for a season and only played in six games and who's C and who's who's currently experienced coaching turnover in his rookie year and fr an office turnover in his rookie year the people that drafted him the people that evaluated him are no longer in the building so I would it would I I wouldn't put it past the Raiders to totally want to move on from all the assets from the previous regime organizations teams do that coaches and and and GMS they come in and they clean house so when you think about it from the perspective of Byron young being added to a defensive tackle room that consists of jayen Carter Jordan Davis Milton Williams Maro OJ and Thomas Booker someone who's making strides in their game Thomas Booker moral dromo who's been the darling of training camp in preseason for the Philadelphia Eagles on that defensive line Jordan Davis someone who we know has the talent has the skill set has the athleticism just got to get that conditioning and that nutrition right I think that's I think this is the season that happens for Jordan Davis and then you got Jaylen Carter the Georgia product the grizzly bear the baby rhino who dominates the opposition in front of him who's definitely looking to take that next step in his development and his production has potential to be one of the best defensive tackles that we've seen for the Philadelphia Eagles and obviously many people have laid the foundation for him and he has a lot to prove but he has the talent has the has the skill set has the ferocity to get it done so you drop Byron young in a room full of talented players like this oh man we can't we we we can't put a ceiling on this young men's development it would be unfair it would be unreasonable for me to say this player is a bust and it will also be unreasonable for me to say this player is G to set the world on fire you guys already know here at Trucking up Sports we're going to be honest we're going to keep it real and most of all you're going to get my perspective that's a lot of talent in that room it's a lot of talent and again because he's not far removed from the college game he just got here basically didn't play much last year you don't really have much to you don't really have much to gauge him on you don't really have much film you don't really have um too much of a statline to really gauge him on because top to bottom the Raiders were a dumpster fire I can't judge anybody fairly if you play for the Raiders I can't it's near impossible the glasses the the lens is too foggy it's the waters are too muddy over there I can't gauge anybody fairly if you play for the Raiders it's hard so again he just he he was R last year only played in six games am am I right to write this young man off that wouldn't be fair it wouldn't be fair it wouldn't be fair to him it wouldn't be fair to y'all I opene it to y'all to keep it real and be as pragmatic yet optimistic as I can like I said this room has a ton of talent in it the D tackles the D line but focusing on the D tackles for right now a lot of talent we know the expectations are high for this D line and this is what and this is what we're going to talk about today the defensive line but I also want to get to your comments because we're going to talk about the defensive line we're going to get more in depth on the defensive line after our guest after our interview with our very special guest that will be here in about 10 minutes 9 minutes in County I want to get to your comments here make sure you guys smash that like button on the way in make sure you guys smashing on the way out you guys are tuned in to Chu up Sports where no matter if

college games tomorrow absolutely absolutely Cody said tone B me a sandwich I'm hungry I will not shout out to my man Cody man I appreciate you big Rhythm big Rhythm says tone apparently the home team at the stadium primary color is black so the Eagles are adopting it for their home game okay so it is officially a home game for Philadelphia great I love it I love it fny Eagles fan says we can't wait two to three years for a first rounder to develop well he's not a first rounder he's a third rounder I want to make that very clear by the way you guys he's a third rounder Byron young now Fanny I don't know if you're talking about someone else you could be but as far as Byron young goes he's a third round pick not a first-rounder a third round pick so even then expectations should be moderate when judging a third round defensive tackle twiz says all the players have talent they gotta want it ABS freaking lutely twiz you nailed it at the end of the day Talent get you in the door want to desire and Grit and work ethic keeps you in the building Donald Rome he says defensive players linebacker and lineman usually make that jump in second and third year let's hope that's the case for a lot of these guys we have on the roster flexing and Steppin says Max Crosby you can't judge Tone come on flexing be realistic bro stop being factious Max Krabby is an anomaly he's a he's he's a a a tremendous player in the terrible situation same thing with Devonte Adams Devonte Adams ma Max Crosby they're tremendous players in terrible situations those guys have been established for years so when I'm talking about young Talent guys that you just bring in guys that are developing and they're basically inheriting a dumpster fire of a franchise it's pretty hard to judge those gentlemen there are certain players who are able to outplay their circumstances not many players have that capability Max Crosby is an anomaly not many players in this league are capable of outplaying their situation he's the 1% of the NFL the real r&p says I wish we picked up the linebacker Byron Young from the Rams David David Del rmle he says Dean might start over Devon he seems to be outplaying him if de if Dean starts if Dean starts over anybody it's going to be Zack Bon like come on be realistic there are certain players who are able to outplay their situations you're talking about the 1% of the NFL simple as that the 1% not many players are capable of outplaying their situation like he didn't even touched the F he barely was on the field I can understand if he had if he played 17 games and you got nothing he he played in six games you 99 defensive snaps how do you know what somebody is in 99 snaps that's basically two games worth a third round pick relax y gotta relax big Chris says Jaylen Carter is who I'm watching absolutely absolutely Fanny says Davis Davis needs to lay off the pasta y'all funny man Donald Rome says stop judging players that had a bad year or no playing time Dean noan Huff Davis give them the benefit of the doubt at least for the first three to four games that's reasonable that's reasonable right I mean when you got a guy I mean at the end at the end of the day organizations are taking calculated risks on so many players organizations are organizations are betting on players right okay you did this hair I'm betting I'm betting that you can do it elsewhere right we gotta be we gotta be again everybody's in here and not have a everybody in here is not really willing to have a constructive conversation some people are just here just here to entertain and troll which is fine it's the internet let's have fun with it right no big deal but every now and again there comes a time where you have to settle down and have a real conversation and the real conversation is you know it's really hard to judge judge a guy like Byron young who only played in six games 99 defensive snaps I can't gauge that player for who he is or who he's going to be I can't all I know is I respect the Philadelphia Eagles for swinging I respect the Philadelphia Eagles for always trying to stay ahead of the curve appreciate that Drew Anderson says good college player changing energy could be good that's that's all new situation new team organ new organization he's in a winning situation now that bring out the best of a player IMA says he can only play up to the talent surrounded him yeah sometimes when you when you just that Raiders defense was oh my God it was was bad darling Mo says Jordan Davis is lazy wow W well we'll see man we'll see we'll see there's a lot there's a lot to be desired there's a lot to be desired when it comes to your Philadelphia Eagles right now especially on defensive side and there's so much to get into there's so much to discuss as it pertains to your Philadelphia Eagles right so many questions so many predictions so many concerns
