Mr. “slot corner” a term that’s never been more gratuitously used except to describe DeJean, because we know a “white boy” cannot be a cornerback. Just like the “slot receiver” is a designation to marginalize White WR’s. Either way, DeJean is about to become a superstar.

Hmm. That is the first time I'm across the position of "slot receiver." Not all bad though. Might be a way to sneak more white players into the cornerback position.
Thats looking to be Koi Perich so far..... Wonder if he'll end up in Philly though I doubt it

Perich is a DB not DT. Backrow was being sarcastic.

Roob's Observations: The Eagles' cornerback competition has become a big concern
A sobering look at the Eagles’ second cornerback competition, an interesting roster trend heading into the season and more.

This is something I have found unsurprising but typical caste system. Living near philly I try and listen to as little dwf and sports radio clowns as possible for my sanity, but the constant consternation about the eagles lack of a cb opposite Mitchell is ridiculous. The obvious answer is to move Dejean to the outside in base and slot in nickel but literally nobody is even suggesting this! It’s like nobody wants to put forth the idea of a white player playing outside cb. Thankfully it has given me the opportunity to bring this up to a lot of blue pilled dwf. I say they are not giving Dejean the opportunity to play outside bc he is white, there is no other logical reason. He was arguably their defensive mvp last year when you look at the eagles defense once he was put into the lineup. The eagles not giving him any snaps outside has been so egregious I have gotten a more receptive response than usual when I bring up race and the caste system to normies

That is a really dumb move by Blankenship. The odious Texans will quickly relegate him to second string. Mark my words.

Warhawk, I don't disagree with you at all. Here's a fairly in-depth article explaining why Blankenship choose Houston. Seems like Houston really wanted him and see him as an absolute starter. But money speaks volumes. His contract tells you Reed is getting starting money. But not "top" starting money, which means a few tough games in coverage and he can easily be demoted.

Lots of good info in the link above, but this really stuck out to me:
The Texans had a revolving door at safety last season opposite Bullock.
After trading for C.J. Gardner-Johnson from the Eagles, he was insubordinate and refused to play within the scheme and was released.
Here's another source (from same article), in case the above link doesn't come through:

Texans The Texans signed S Reed Blankenship to a three-year contract following his time with the Falcons. Blankenship said HC DeMeco Ryans recruited him to the team, and he quickly bought into what Ryans was
