First start of his career, plays better than anyone could reasonably hope.  Three years ago, had never touched an American football.  Now, he's at worst as serviceable back up LT in the NFL.  That's just nuts.

[Diomedes]

I'm gonna enjoy reading all week about Mailata's development.  What a coup for the Eagles to have turned an absolute neophyte into, at worst, a reserve NFL LT / Trade bait.

He played better last night than anyone should have expected. Shame our team's collective ligaments are made out of brittle, crusty old rubberbands.

Baldinger pretty pleased, too

Pretty damn impressive.  Sink or swim with this guy the rest of the year, JP needs to call it quits as he really doesn't want to be playing football anymore.

if he plays just regular zesty this week not Winston justice zesty he should be proud...this one has Washington football team ugly written all over it for the OL and especially this guy

[Diomedes]

They've got tape of his first start to look at so you have to think they've identified his weaknesses.

[Zanshin]

This year's Eagles are a bad team in a really boring way. At least this guy is interesting and has an upside. I'm glad he's out there and interested to see what he build from what he did last week, which was impressive.

[Diomedes]

It's already a pretty stunning success.  At 23 years old, with the performance and promise he's demonstrated already..at the least, he's tradeable for far, far more value than the draft capital invested in him.  Only question now is whether he's good enough to be too valuable to trade.
