Will Shipley

If he gets any carries of quality he needs to bust a long run flashing his wheels and agility as well as doing the same if he gets any passes out of the backfield.
 
I went on Twitter a few days ago to defend Shipley and advocate for him over Bigsby. The philly RWFs of course attacked me because Shipley fumbled a week ago on a kick off. It really is hopeless with these literal retard normie fans.

I hope Shipley gets 10+ touches tomorrow.

Yet what do we always see when a black player fumbles or makes a mistake, they are consoled and coddled by both the announcers and players. Patting them on the head, hugging them, telling them it's ok, we need you and they're right back out there without missing any playing time or like white players automatically demoted.
Thank goodness McCaffrey rarely fumbled if at all early in his career. We may not have seen his greatness.
 
Looks like Shipley will be the third down back against Washington with Bigsby starting. Will should be starting ahead of Bigsby but regardless I hope he plays well with the touches he gets, and he also needs to be good in pass pro.

Eagles' Will Shipley Has 'Fallen In Love With The Process' Of Getting Better

PHILADELPHIA - Out in Pittsburgh this week, Kenny Gainwell was named the Steelers’ MVP by his teammates for a season in which the former Eagles’ backup amassed

These bastards have a vested interest in denigrating white running backs (and other positions).

Talking about how disappointing Shipley has been -he hasn’t been given an opportunity- and how they may add someone to add “a speedy” complement in the black field and mentioning a player who is factually slower than Shipley over 40 yard (4.38 to 4.49).

I am close to giving up even caring to follow the sport. The Jewish owners and black supremacists in media want nothing more than to denigrate and emasculate white men. That is the goal in ALL facets of society and especially in sports.

Eagles Now Given Good Reason to Move on from Will Shipley

The Philadelphia Eagles will have to make plenty of difficult decisions with free agency approaching next week, but one of the easiest may be to move on from ru

Even I, who have been watching similar scenarios for well over 40 years now, didn't expect Shipley to be wasted the way he has through his first two seasons, continuing while Barkley noticeably declined in performance this past season. This article from December defends Shipley and urges the Eagles not to discard him:

Anywhere at this point. I think he’s fu**ed because all of his traction will be gone by the time he’s a free agent and I doubt they trade him

I’m with you. I told @Leonardfan blackers should trade for McKee and add Shipley for a pack of gum.
 
A whole lot of negative articles on Shipley. Essentially saying he has failed to live up to expectations (he as a 4th rounder…) even though he never got an opportunity because Barkley was promptly signed.

Eagles' patience with once-promising running back might've already run out

After showing some promise coming out of college, the Philadelphia Eagles have slowly been pushing him down the depth chart to the point that he might be done.

Warhawk, the article you just posted should not be taken too seriously, as it's author seems to be some "superfan" willing to cover a team for free (or very little compensation). And he's doing it for some bargain basement "net" site, from wherever he's located? I doubt he has any credible access to the team and it's facilities -- players, coaches, front office. In other words, he's just "guessing".

Also, given his name, I would assume he's black -- doesn't show his picture in his bio? If so, we know he's probably your typical brother: Self-loathing, pride-less clown who lusts after da "White Womenz" 24/7 and hates on White males 24/7, at the same point. For someone like that, Shipley is an easy "target", as he hasn't even been given a real chance!

Not saying Shipley can't be cut, but consider the source? The black RB he's hyping was caste off by three NFL teams since last summer and is one more release from playing for the Louisville Kings or Orlando Storm during the spring?

Here's a better link: Actual paid media reporter who likely has year round access to the team: Projecting Eagles 53 Man Roster


P.S: One of the players projected to be cut, as Shipley makes the team, is Carson Steele. I agree, if Steele is seen as a straight tailback, he's in trouble, for obvious reasons -- White, undrafted, street free agent, ect. Also, White safety, 7th round pick from Texas Tech, is projected to make it.

But as I typed months ago, Steele could have a chance if he's viewed as a hybrid fullback/tailback -- modern day Bob Chrisitian. Here's my Jan. 6th post. Eagles did start the 2025 season with a White fullback (converted linebacker), but he tore his ACL early.

I have seen several articles, albeit if similar writer pedigree. However, couple this with him essentially being phased out completely, despite positive press last training as well as his opening game stat line before getting hurt on a kick return, when Tank joined the team and it worries me. He is far too talented to be phased out as he could be a 1000 yard rushing and 500 yard receiving back if given the opportunity.

I’ve seen far too many of our guys caste aside and am lamenting CMC’s HOF-path success not really having any impact on others getting a shot.
 
As I mentioned in the preseason thread, Will really needed that strong game against the Patriots. From all negative articles for a while, it's all positive reviews, such as this one:

"Will Shipley was tremendous. He racked up over 50 yards on the ground in the first quarter alone, running with authority, hitting holes, extending plays, and even flashing a few nice catches out of the backfield. He punched in a touchdown.

"Shipley was the Eagles’ second running back before they traded for Tank Bigsby last season, and he’s had an up-and-down stretch dating back to the end of last year. He wasn’t an integral part of this offense for a while there. But on Saturday, he looked like a guy who wants that roster spot and isn’t leaving any doubt. He was most likely making the 53 anyway, but he solidified it. Will Shipley was one of the main winners of the night."

This same article mentions Ty Robinson as another winner from the game:

"Now, the biggest stock riser of the night might be defensive lineman Ty Robinson. He didn’t really come on until the second quarter, but once he did, he was a wrecking ball. Robinson had two sacks in the latter half of the second quarter and around four or five quarterback hits by my count. That gives him three sacks across the Eagles’ two preseason games.

"Remember what Vic Fangio said earlier this week? Robinson was on life support. As Eliot Shorr-Parks put it, Ty Robinson has gone from life support to having life to maybe even having a roster spot. This was a fourth-round pick last year, and Howie Roseman usually hits on those defensive linemen. But Robinson was giving you nothing. Absolutely nothing. It got to a point where we all said maybe the Eagles just have too many draft picks and some of these guys aren’t going to work out.

"Roseman drafted Robinson because he saw some kind of trait or developmental upside, and this is the first time we’re seeing it come alive. I know it’s against backups, but you can see the swagger he’s playing with. It’s different. His confidence, the way he’s preparing himself, the ferocious pass rush. Robinson is becoming one of the best stories of this preseason, and I feel like he may have done enough to earn a spot on the 53-man roster."

Surprising Eagles players emerge as intriguing winners after preseason game against the Patriots

As Will Shipley is tracking for his first ever start this week, now is the time for him to shine. It will be an uphill battle for him with Lane Johnson abruptly returning to focus on “mental health” and Jacksonville featuring a stellar run defense as Don mentioned in another thread.

My prediction, Will is able to bust a 20+ yard run with his 4.38 speed. Finishes around 75 yards rushing and another 15 receiving. Not outstanding but good. Of course, my hope is for more.

But he will do enough to give coaches reason to continue to use him for a handful of attempts per game when Barkley comes back.
 
Shipley is an excellent receiver and given the state of the eagles line, if I were designing a game plan this week it would be to isolate him for short crossing and burst routes. Akin to how the patriots adjusted to the falcons in the super bowl and used James white where he caught 14-110 and a couple td’s
 
We should hope for the best of course, but even if he has a tough day it will still be a momentous occasion to have 3 White runnings backs starting in the same week.
 
Apparently Shipley was on a radio show called sportsradiowip and spoke about being named the starter. I didn’t recall seeing it in hard writing that he was yet, so that’s good to hear that they told him he was. Never forget though that a especially for a white, being the starting may only guarantee you one snap

From what I remember of the equivalent of prep school physiology class this injury could effectively end his career but it wouldn't be automatically over.

An Achilles tear would be much worse for an athlete that needs speed and agility.

We’ll see, it’s a partial tear, big difference. Unless it was a very very minor tear, he’ll miss the rest of the season and have plenty of recovery time. There is the issue that they just give up on him though due to the absence. He’s a high enough profile draft pick though that I’m certain he will at least be signed somewhere else, practice squad at worst (which would still be awful)
 
It's not that the injury will necessarily prevent him from playing in the future, it's that the Eagles are going to give up on him now.
They had already lost some faith in him, and was sliding downwards in their minds and on the depth charts.
He'll just bounce around as a practice squad or 4th option for the next few years.
So effectively his career is over (in my opinion).

Yes the old the most valuable thing for a club is availability over even reliability...

Yes I tend to agree he will need to look like superman to jump guys on the depth chart as he will be competing against younger and fresher guys in training camp in 27'...
