Dorial Green-Beckham failed to live up to high expectations

“But I think I’m better prepared physically, mentally, way more mature”, Grymes said. “Learn a new offense, being around a whole new group of guys, a family atmosphere”.

That, however, was before Green-Beckham arrived in Philly and had a chance to meet with coaches.

“I felt like I stayed after, caught some balls, came in early”.

One of the things Mayock is best at as analyst is chronicling the misadventures of gunners and the guys trying to block them, something he knows from his own brief National Football League playing experience. “To go from one offense to another offense, playbook to playbook, home to home, you’ve just got to pick up on it”.

“I just felt like, he talked potential, he wanted me to do more and I tried to do everything I could do and things didn’t work out”, he said at his locker at Heinz Field. “They wanted the little details, so you gotta give them the little details”. They want little details, you’ve got to give little details. “You gotta do everything that you’re supposed to do and everything that’s asked”. “I felt like I did a lot of extra work there, and I’m still going to continue to stay on my game and continue to do those things”.

Daniel was 10 of 16 for 82 yards, hooking up with Paul Turner for a 23-yard gain.

With injuries hampering or sidelining Carson Wentz, Wendell Smallwood, Blake Countess, and Joe Walker, Seumalo is one of the few players from this years draft getting a chance to make an impression. Even he was taken back by the move. “The biggest thing as a kicker is to not think about it, just go out and kick”.

PITTSBURGH One of these days the Eagles’ wide receivers are going to own all of their pass routes and get enough separation to make quarterback Sam Bradford feel good about his $22 million skills set.

Green-Beckham might have failed to live up to expectations early in Tennessee, but it doesn’t mean he’s going to do the same in Philadelphia.

“That [interception] today, they would have had about 15 more yards to complete that play”, Grymes said.

“Totally a whole different person”, he said. The off-the-field stuff is in the past, has been in the past. Never been brought up since then by anybody. “… I think for me and the rest of the guys in my group, I always say, ‘OK, what are the things I can control?” Chase Daniel badly underthrew the pass, not letting the 6-foot-5 receiver utilize his height.

Can Green-Beckham help the Eagles?

A lot of people would be thrilled with the KC Chiefs trading someone like Zach Fulton or Jah Reid (or any of the backup linemen) for a huge target like Green-Beckham, but are his off the field issues worth it?

And sometimes a change of scenery is just what a disappointing player needs.

“I was getting all the reps and making the most of it”, Parkey said.
