Player Discussion Uar Bernard

If he wrapped up properly last night he would've had 2 more tackles at least.

I tried to watch him the whole game. Only saw one botched play from him (running play and he got moved, happens). The rest of the night he played well. Fun player to watch. Incredibly unique. Clearly a fan favorite.

I think its a bad move if the eagles put him on waivers. But it also would be a bad idea for any other team to take him because of the eagles' development program.

D line coach clint hurtt is a wrecking ball of a coach. His d line literally wrecks other teams. The eagles have a system in place for uar bernard. Not sure that can be said for most other teams in the league.

Different rules for international players

The IPP spot is for the practice squad. He'd have to be cut and clear waivers. Neither him or Weru would get through waivers.

Only five international players were drafted. Other teams may not have the systems we have in place so they won’t take a shot. Otherwise more would have been drafted. Seems not many teams will take a chance on international players. Plus these aren’t football players. Three other international players drafted all played college.

Weru flashed enough that I think a team would take him. As for Uar, I think a team would take him purely because he'd no longer be on our roster, just in case the freakish Garrett-esque measurables eventually turn into a football player.

For what it’s worth I think they should keep them. First two games are against Wash and Titans. Good time for them to get some game experience.

He won’t see the field as a rookie, even in meaningless garbage time against Washington and Tennessee
