To Beat New York, These Players Must Step Up
The reality, as we all understand, is that the Eagles have to play as perfect a game as possible to defeat the 11-1 Giants on Sunday. Every player, every coach, every situation, has to be right. The 48-20 pasting of the Cardinals was a glimpse into how good this team can be, but the mark of a truly outstanding team is the ability to play at that level on a week-in, week-out basis.
And so the Eagles have the opportunity to keep their playoff hopes alive with a win over the mighty Giants. Here are some players who have a particularly-needy spotlight on them heading into this game ...
TRENT COLE, DEFENSIVE END
Cole doesn't have the sack numbers of one season ago -- he has seven -- but Cole has played very well in every phase of the game. He'll need to get after Eli Manning and make Manning move off his spot. The first priority of the defense is to stop the run, but the Giants are just as capable at beating teams with their passing game. Manning is still prone to turning the ball over and losing ball security in the pocket when he is pressured. Cole is going to see double teams, chipping, and a lot of nasty stuff thrown his way. Doesn't matter. A premier end, which Cole is, makes a difference in games like this.
BRODRICK BUNKLEY, DEFENSIVE TACKLE
In his second season as a starter, Bunkley seems to be ready to take that next step in his development. He is a good player on the way to becoming a very, very good player. This is the kind of game that can help Bunkley move forward. The Giants are excellent inside with their blocking scheme, they are very physical and they have a devastating blend at running back. Bunkley has to be big. He made 11 tackles in the first meeting against the Giants, despite an overall defensive performance that struggled.
NICK COLE, RIGHT GUARD
It would surprise no one if the Giants lined up Justin Tuck over Cole and challenged Cole with his physical play and athletic ability. The Eagles are on their third right guard of the season, and before the season one of the areas of question on this team was the depth along the offensive line. With injuries to Shawn Andrews and Max Jean-Gilles, Cole has a chance to make his reputation against one of the best defensive lines in the league. Cole is a shorter guard, but he is very powerful and has good feet.
TRA THOMAS, LEFT TACKLE
Big one for Thomas and the edges of the line. The Eagles face the prospect of some nasty weather in Giants Stadium -- snow is in the forecast -- and they may have to shorten up their game plan. Thomas has is going to see some pressure on blitzes and from the Giants' defensive scheme. He needs to give Donovan McNabb time to throw. The last time the Eagles wre in Giants Stadium was not a pretty sight for the offense. The Eagles have to win the line of scrimmage.
L.J. SMITH, TIGHT END
Smith has 22 catches and 3 touchdowns, not exactly the kind of production the Eagles need from the tight end position. In this game, Smith has to be a weapon. The short- and intermediate-range passing game has to be there for McNabb to offset the New York pressure defense and, potentially, the weather conditions. Smith had 32 yards worth of receptions against Arizona, his third-highest yardage total of the season. He had 3 catches and 32 yards in the previous game against the Giants after missing a game with a concussion. Without production from the tight ends, the Eagles will have a hard time getting the ball outside to the receivers. Smith must force the Giants to respect the area between the hash marks.
STEWART BRADLEY, LINEBACKER
New York's rushing success from one month ago doesn't fall directly on Bradley's shoulders, but he is the middle linebacker and Bradley takes great pride in having success against the run. Bradley recorded 16 total tackles in that game, but the Giants still controlled the line of scrimmage and the second level of the defense on the way to 219 yards on the ground. Bradley must be around the ball all game. He has to get off blocks and get to Brandon Jacobs and Co. before they have a chance to run downhill. It is a tall task, and it is going to be a telling one for Bradley. Is he ready to be a top-flight middle linebacker? He is making strides. This is a big game for Bradley and the defense.
Mikell leads the Eagles with 133 total tackles, has 3 interceptions and 2 quarterback sacks. He has had a fine season. In this game, Mikell has to do it all. He has to support against the run and he has to help in coverage, particularly against tight end Kevin Boss. Mikell also has to be over-the-top help against the Giants down the field. Now, New York doesn't have Plaxico Burress. That is a headache the Eagles don't need to worry about in this game. But the Giants are still threats with Domenick Hixon, the ageless Amani Toomer, Steve Smith and Sinorice Moss. It is a good group. The Eagles can't get lulled into a false sense of security here.
SAV ROCCA, PUNTER
Rocca averaged 45.6 gross yards punting against the Giants the first time around, but New York returned two punts for 45 yards. Not good. That isn't necessarily on Rocca, but in these conditions, this late in the season, Rocca may be called upon to directional kick and limit any New York returns. Rocca's only poor game of the year came in Cincinnati when, in swirlling conditions, he had trouble with everything from the drop to kicking into an across-the-field wind. He may face the same situation here. It is going to be quite a late-season test for the second-year punter.
DONOVAN McNABB, QUARTERBACK
This goes without saying, of course. McNabb is the driver of the offensive engine. He has to show the same poise, pace and confidence he did against Arizona. That was McNabb in one of his best games of the season. In the earlier game against the Giants, McNabb was 17 of 37, but he also threw 3 touchdown passes and ran for 35 yards. Mixed in was a costly interception. He knows the deal. The Giants have a pressure-oriented defense. McNabb has to be quick with his reads, accurate and very decisive.
Of course, the list could go on and on. Everyone needs to play an "A" game to beat New York and get a little something going in this home stretch of the season.

I'll leave you all, with this, final story. I was about 10 yrs old, at the "Mummers Parade,in Philly," with my father,who was an amateur, photographer. My dad, sporting a "Bolex 16 mm camera," and I, were observing the parade, by the "judge's reviewing stand," when my dad struck up a conversation with a, "Wise Guy," who told him the judging results were for suckers. Obviously my dad, naive to this scenario, doubted the validity of this strangers, conclusions, relative the, "Furnished," placement and winners in the judgement categories. The winning results, furnished by this ,"In the know," individual,were reported by the Phila. Bulletin & Enquirer, "Three days later," the results, identical to those revealed by the stranger. Coincidence, maybe, but obviously designed to appear that way.
I hope I'm wrong, but gambling, is a Multi Billion Dollar Business. Sometimes, "Seeing is believing." Why were some of the crucial players, recently suspended and members of the Vikings Organization, allowed to play, by order of a judge, until more time was alocated,giving them time, to prepare their cases? These case's are to be heard, after seasons end? Another coincidence? Am I cynical? I guess I am! |
| rocky_mtn_man1@... 12/04/08 5:06 pm |
not you chris...Chris Collinsworth, and Phil simms..Both Eagle haters...and Eagle fan haters |
| icontutu 12/04/08 4:39 pm |
No disagreement here "Fanatic." We all hope "I'm Wrong." |
| icontutu 12/04/08 4:36 pm |
Straight up "Noodles," I have had this argument, recently, with other, "Eagles Fans," and their desire for "Handouts and Handicapps." We must know and have the confidence, regardless, we we can win, "Straight up!" |
| icontutu 12/04/08 4:30 pm |
Chris, "I know this statement will appear dillusional," but even play calling can result in a "win or loss," decision, at crucial moments, during a game changing situation. I've seen this scenario within "Police organizations, investigating each other," do you think it isn't possible, in a "sporting event?" Sometime's you have seen and can know too much... |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 4:27 pm |
Icon / Chris; I agree, refs haven't looked kindly to the Eagles. But the refs can't do anything about a blowaway performance. If there's a fix, it's Reid being paid to lose. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 4:26 pm |
icon: I do believe, but I'm not lookin for handouts. I want this to be the game of season - a slugfest experts will talk about when we march on to the superbowl. I want Nick Cole to manhandle Fred Robbins. I want Tra to lock down the left side. I want Eckel to earn at least 10 carries. I want Westbrook to crack a big one. I want Baskett to catch another fade and I want Avant to blast Aaron Ross on his way to the endzone. I want Mcnabb to laugh and smile like he always does. I want Sheldon to finally get an int for the season, and I want peanut to have a big game. I want the linebackers to leak diesel fuel from all the big hits they give out. I want it all . . . if they really play up to their level then, win or lose, they've played like we all know they can play and should have played during the 1st 8 games. IF they give me that, I'm happy. This game is about more than a game, its about pride. I want to know who is gonna go into the postseason and into next season with pride. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 4:22 pm |
Giants = good defense. Cardinals = horrible defense. Eagles win 23-21. |
| chrisejlewis@... 12/04/08 4:20 pm |
icon > if by the "fix" you mean bad officiating and close calls that go against the Eagles, I sure hope not!! Is it just me or has the officiating been horrible and in favour of the Eagles' opponents this year? It seems that every questionable or close call has gone AGAINST Philly this year. Makes one think....Hhmmmmm. |
| icontutu 12/04/08 4:20 pm |
Noodles, my rant isn't directed at you, although the hastily contrived typing would make it appear that way. I meant those that, "Jump Ship," for the front runner... |
| icontutu 12/04/08 4:13 pm |
Noodles, "We got to believe!" No way we can lose, considering all the variables!Desparation, adjustments, external motivation & pressure, previous successes, "Pittsburg," Included. How about "new running game potentials." It's all there, "for the taking!" If you doubt me, leave us, and go to the "Giants!" You think can't lose! "Bet me!" this is our game, "Unless the Fix is In." |
| chrisejlewis@... 12/04/08 4:12 pm |
fast forward: Sunday @ 3:15 pm EST. Eli Manning slowly picks himself up off the Meadowlands' turf after being sacked for the 5th time today. Ego bruised and battered, he watches as Chris Clemons and his fellow linemen high-five one another and happily strut back to the Eagles sidelines.... |

And dmg, don't forget the actual song called 'Take Off', sung by the legendary Geddy Lee. |

No need to apologize, dmg. At least you remembered the french toast! (Mmmmm.....french toast) |

| dmg@... 12/04/08 4:00 pm |
Gotta run. Everybody play nice. Brizer, hope your actuary or your accountant helped you out but BTW they are two separate professions. Good luck anyway. Gotta go learn how to make a Pinewood Derby car. |
| icontutu 12/04/08 4:00 pm |
Come on "Franky," argue the point! "Let's see what type of "Eagles Fan," you really are. "We need your strength of mind set, in a positive way!" |
| greenspeed 12/04/08 3:58 pm |
I hear ya Chris. With Bwest seemingly back to health by his own accounts, playaction to 36 and a deep shot to Peanut for a quick 6 to open the game would set the tone fo sure. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 3:58 pm |
Icon: vibe overall is positive. If the Eagles throw the kitchen sink at the Giants, I'm proud of them. |
| brizer9@... 12/04/08 3:54 pm |
fanny,.yur picks are solid,.however,.what's the rationale for the percy reference? |
| dmg@... 12/04/08 3:52 pm |
Doug, I was wrong it was two turtlenecks and three french toast. My humblest apologies! |
| dmg@... 12/04/08 3:47 pm |
Your missing the point former MA Hall now PE Fanatic, it has nothing to do with who started what. It's about having thicker skin and being "less reactive," which I've spoken to her about before in the past. I'm not dwelling on anything. I try to catch up on posts so it's hard to avoid all the drama. |
| icontutu 12/04/08 3:46 pm |
Come on people,"Let's get our positivity working for us." Remember, "The first game," resulted in, "#36-31," Giants. We have everything going in our favor!!! If we want it enough, "I can't really see us losing." Forget Burress, although his absence helps, "We lost by 5 points." It won't happen again!!! |
| TricksterG 12/04/08 3:45 pm |
Rocky Mtn: I hear you on that. Im on the west coast supporting the Eagles, but Im constantly hearing about how the fans hate Dmac and what not, and I think its just irritating. I think the Eagles fans know what its like not having a good QB and DMac is not one of those. |
| chrisejlewis@... 12/04/08 3:42 pm |
Man...it seems like months since the last Eagles game. Can Sunday get here already - PLEASE!?!? |
| brizer9@... 12/04/08 3:42 pm |

| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 3:38 pm |
overwhelming support for the Norfolk and VA beach area . . . you guys have no idea just how influntial you are. This genius is defintiely listening. |
| greenspeed 12/04/08 3:38 pm |
..Ronald Curry too...leaving out some younger MLB players out of Chesapeake also. PEF w/r/t AI, he was touted by a large concensus as a better QB than Vick back in the day. Hella athletes outta this area. Some exceptional HS football teams out of Chesapeake as well. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 3:35 pm |
Oh, greenspeed, don't forget Percy Harvins. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 3:35 pm |
nuts . . . I meant Cole is better at guard, where his short and stocky frame is better suited. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 3:34 pm |
DMG; You didn't have to dwell into our conversations. It's not her fault, the fault is mine. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 3:33 pm |
Greenspeed; Speaking of AI, did You know he was a very good QB in HS? |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 3:31 pm |
Can't remember, but I'll look it up and let You know tomorrow. Sad part, is I think it was something simple like "memphis bar & grill". I'll let You know once I remember though. Have fun tonight, and goodnight Kira. |
| dmg@... 12/04/08 3:30 pm |
DeKira, Little dissapointed in ya today Darlin'. Just when I thought you were playin nice with the boys you had another episode. It's O.K. you recovered but remember.....Quack! Quack! Also it launched a mass therapy session that went on way too long IMHO. I like the non football stuff as much as anyone but have you ever heard the phrase "too much information"? Anyway, it should be "Doug McKenzie" time on here pretty soon as he usually signs on about this time every day. |
| amoses06@... 12/04/08 3:29 pm |
Lets keep this short and sweet. Good play calling with a balanced run pass ratio plus a stingy defense plus team work equals a win to make the giants 11-2. Hope I don't bite my tounge and b dissapointed sunday. We needa win this game to even the series this year vs. the giants @ one game a piece and avoid getting swept by the giants and outta the playoff picture. So if Andy Reid and his coaching staff can do the right thing and coach a similar game sunday like last thursday, then we will def leave the meadow lands with a W. GO EAGLES!!!!! |

lol thank you dear...what was the name of it again before i head out of work? again, im sorry about today, i really am, and i hope ive gotten my cool points back as well as the respect...that was quite random but youre good! not sure how you picked up those attention vibes...ties into the whole ex thing. again, if you take anything away today, please, think of her as the bad version of the word "wench." youll get someone someday...don't shut yourself out though from a good thing if it presents itself to ya, okay? and yes chris, i definitely mentioned you to try and prove a point haha sorry =D but i need to go christmas shopping...you guys have fun now!! almost friday =] byeee <3333 |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 3:22 pm |
i went to see a john legend concert there back in...i wanna say 2005? maybe 2006. But it was gorgeous down there. We got there around 5, stuck in traffic and on this scary bridge that lasted a few miles with the ATL ocean underneath...priceless!! You cant lose if you go down there...i forgot norfolk was right by VA beach lol they have the "757" area codes. youd like it |
| chrisejlewis@... 12/04/08 3:21 pm |
By the way, Kira - I am still waiting on the delivery of that cheese steak. ;o) |
| chrisejlewis@... 12/04/08 3:21 pm |
....did someone mention my name?? |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 3:21 pm |
Kira, they might not remember my name anyway, I can't even remember theirs. But they're remember a 20+ tipper from a year ago, I was in there almost every night after the divorce initiated. The owner and I used to sit at the bar and talk with regulars, and he would invite me to join the crew to afterwork hangouts. And free shots. Loved it, great restaurant. They have good salads too lol |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 3:17 pm |
Noodle- If the job You garner is high paying(which I hope it is) VA beach is the place to live. I lived in one of the cheapest complexs close enough to the beach (windsong apps) and even it was 780 a month. Owner is a wench, (not meaning a woman, but a complete wench) so I wouldn't advise living there, but there are nice, nice, close to the beach, nice places to stay, while only being 20 minutes from work in Norfolk. |
| greenspeed 12/04/08 3:16 pm |
Nu^4dlz: Dad is retired Navy, I've lived in Va. Beach my whole life (*cough I'm 39). Great area for the most part, but as w/ any other suburban, transient, tourist, metro, agricultural area, some seedy areas do exist. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 3:16 pm |
youre welcome nudlz check those out definitely =] and michael, if i do go down there i'll mention you...my best friends boyfriend used to live there and goes down often. we'll check it out (no pork for me...no meat!!) but i doubt your name will ring a bell, as i dont see anyone putting their full name on this thing lol |
| thefirelion 12/04/08 3:12 pm |
But agree with you Center is a concern as will (would like to see Cole competing there as well, he is our b/u center) |
| thefirelion 12/04/08 3:10 pm |
Nuudlz) the assumption of not being set at guard is Herremans and Andrews sliding out, might leave us weak depthwise there, but T depth needs to be addressed as well. Or starting competition. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 3:09 pm |
lol thanks iconnn |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 3:08 pm |
thanks kira. I'm not settled on an area yet, but I'm saving this page for all the input I'm getting. I'll defintely keep you geniuses posted. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 3:08 pm |
Kira; Norfolk itself is nice, the actual city I mean. The outskirts of Norfolk is a good place to live if You want to get shot. VA beach is amazing, I spent most of my nights at a little Memphis style rest/bar. Humble place, amazing pork. Great staff. Can't remember the name for the life of me, but if You know where I'm talking about, go in and ask about me. I'm the guy who always left 20+ tips, and got free drinks from the owner. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 3:06 pm |
phanaticL: I want picking on you. In general, I think Cole is a better asset at Center, otherwise Jaamal wouldnt be holding his job. I want a top draft pick at center, for once. But we can disagree about disagreeing. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 3:05 pm |
Rocky I agree. Chris hates the Eagles after all. Madden and obviously Jaws loves the Eagles, and I respect their commentary. Well, I don't really respect Maddens, but I like that he is a Philly fan (even if it's only because he is in love with Don). |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 3:04 pm |
lol icruz theyre around, youd be surprised at how many love their football that definitely arent manly either. thanks nudlz...i like klecko too. and thanks again icon |
| J.in.VA.3@... 12/04/08 3:03 pm |
and fyi, i wasnt talkin bout u fanatic...ex stuff is a whole diff ballgame, i know the feelin, and i would never hate on that even on a message board |
| greenspeed 12/04/08 3:03 pm |
um yeah...this is an Eagles site. As has been the mantra for most of the season, a balanced offensive attack which maintains time of possession, and keeps the roaches on their heels should be the order of the day, amoung others. Sixty minutes of precise receiver routes w/ Don getting into a good rhythm early, as well as a good mix of 36 and some smashmouth from Eckel. The ground game will be key in minimizing their monster pass rush playmakers. Spuds failed to mention the other Quintin, who IMO, has given our O a boost as of late by leaving a short field to operate. I'm sure JJ will have some schemes dialed up to make it extremely uncomfortable for Eli in the pocket. Jacobs will get his one way or the other-however, the way our LBs and safeties swarm to the point of attack will dictate how much success their 3 headed monster will have. This game IS the season for all intents and purposes. Tis the season folks...I wouldn't expect nothing less than a sick n nasty game...Gmen are primed to come back to earth at the hands of a team ready to go on a stretch run! Time for our guys to show the league WE WILL NOT BE DENIED!! Birds have chalked up a W in 3 of the last 5 road trips to NJ...make it 4 of 6 come sunday afternoon. We refuse to be swept kids. Am I right? |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 3:02 pm |
phanatic: My one complaint about the Navy is its full of "petty" officers more worried about an upcoming promotion than they are about training their recruits. I got screwed over once, so I'm not looking towards the navy. But I like what I hear about Norfolk, because I need work. Any time I dont fill with a job, I tend to fill with alchohol. Once again, I love the navy, but F the navy. |
| icontutu 12/04/08 3:02 pm |
You see people, "Kira's got the knowledge," and better yet, "The fire this team needs." Remember what I said earlier? "Thoughts have wings," give them to this team, "All of you!" Last Chance! |
| dmg@... 12/04/08 3:01 pm |
Ooops! Thought I had logged onto the Eagles website. Must have hit the WE station or Lifetime Network by mistake. My bad. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 3:00 pm |
nah rocky you had to be here to understand why it all came up lol nuuddlzzz listen, norfolk is actually pretty nice. i know some people who like it there, but its not for me as im a city girl. if you like the city but want to live close enough to comute if necessary but far enough to afford, try sterling/haymarket/definitely culpepper VA. culpepper is up and coming, as well as winchester. about an hour from DC, so if you found work there and were getting paid, you shouldnt mind living there. also, front royal too. its quite country, but theyre building that place up and it has GORGEOUS views of the shenandoah. see when i get upset, i go driving, and one day i drove about 45 mins out there and it was beautiful!!! so if you want to be near northern VA, try those areas. you can luck up in manassas or woodbridge and find a cheap place (a house even!) for rent for about 1200 a month, just gotta look around. i personally like it down there, as DC is about 20 minutes away (maybe a little more actually) and its deifnitely got the urban feel. stay far away from fairfax county. virginia beach isnt bad...i kinda liked it when i was there. do you have a preferance? if youd rather stay in md, try the chesapeake area buddy. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 3:00 pm |
Noodle, You call me a dope for my list, yet I posted that we need all those positions. I even put Alex Mack on my list, but doubt he'll be around. There are much worse teams, in much more dire need of C than we. If we get Robinson, Herrimans moves to LT (where he ought to be anyway), Andrews tries out RT, Cole tries out C, and Mcglynn and MJG fight it out for RG. We might lose both our OTs next season. Think about things, before calling me a Homer Simpson phrase. |
| rocky_mtn_man1@... 12/04/08 2:59 pm |
Something that's been really getting to me latey, although discussed before, is the perception of the fans towards donovan. I know there are haters and always will be, but I think it's safe to say that 90% of us think he's great, and support him as long as he's our QB. It's been argued by me that the boos last week were for the pass pass pass playcalling of that drive and the 3 and out...not for the incomplete pass thrown by #5. Member of inside the NFL stated that a good day will be when donovan flys the coop and we fans live to regret it. I find that to be insulting. Chris called the game and stated that the boos were for #5 for the 1st incomplete pass and now thats what everyone thinks. Does anyone see where i'm coming from here? |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 2:59 pm |
deb: eckel is originally a fullback, but Klecko is playing pretty good at fullback and we need a big body to convert short yardage . . . and he did brake off a couple good ones against arizona. keep your eye on him on sunday. |
| icruz 12/04/08 2:58 pm |
I would kill for a girl that was a philly fan or even a football fan. Havent found one where i live yet |
| J.in.VA.3@... 12/04/08 2:57 pm |
hahahahahaha i dont know how i missed this post the first time "i really love u" ahahahaha.........hahahahaha give me a break. and who cares if someone on here doesnt like u or tells u to shut up, reread ur posts some of u guys sound like such suck ups |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 2:55 pm |
Damn Noodle. I think the minimum initial enlistment age might be 28, so get the hell out there are join the Navy. Working at Norfolk was a dream, if You like working. Good pay, perfect benifits, and You can continue Your college degrees WHILE IN, for FREE! |
| icontutu 12/04/08 2:54 pm |
Hey Fanatic, "Hang tough Brother," it will all get better!Ez'er said then done, "Yes!" No rebounds, "Use what you've learned." I wish some of our fans were not blind to that. Some accept the words of others, regardless of what they see! |
| TricksterG 12/04/08 2:54 pm |
Fanatic: Well I still think its too early for mock drafts,dunno just got to hold tight to hope, and think we will win out the season. Hell the Giants managed to last year.
DBM: I agree enough talk about ex's as everybody has some cr**py ones. Live and let learn. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 2:54 pm |
well for one, we definitely need a TE. but id rather get one in the free agency if possible. i dont think we ever had a chance to get gonzalez, the chiefs were bluffing! So i WILL say we need to shop around for a good one. I really like jason witten and dallas clark. those guys catch the important balls i cant stress enough. if we got a WR, instead of gettin percy harvin (rookie), i say build on desean, curtis, and baskett and bring in somebody like marvin harrison: MVP, pro-bowl, and hall-of-fame player who is unnoticed because he isn't a queen like TO or burress or even chad johnson. i WILL say chad doenst sound bad right about now. draft-wise, i say we need to get some guys for the offensive line since ours is aging and fast. we might have a shaky year comin up, but we'll at least know the team is only getting better with fresh players. i think maybe a right guard or something, and since i dont know exactly whos in the draft just yet, i'll hold off on names. i also think we need a new linebacker, safety on defense, and possibly a kicker in case akers decides to pull off another shaky season (although he's looked great lately). all this crabtree talk is daunting, as he probably won't be available for the draft. running back wise, i need to see booker/eckel(hes not a RB though right??) play some more before i say go ahead and trade them off and get someone worth the money. |

| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 2:53 pm |
as to the draft: you dopes are talking guard? We got enough prospects there, especially if Cole puts a few dents in Robbins' helmet. We need a top shelf center. And a sure handed tight end. and some depth at safety. in that order, dopes. |

Hey Kira - thanks for the input about North VA. I wouldnt have known otherwise. As far as VA in general, I'm really only looking at the Norfolk area, since they got an apprenticeship program at one of the shipyard. I love the sea and I love ships, so even if I cant work on an active ship, the idea of working close to them appeals to me. If you got any more input, dont think twice about sharing, because I can certainly use it. Thanks again. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 2:49 pm |
lol Icon. That actualy made me chuckle. You're right, enough soap opera. Speaking of, I heard in a report that soaps are a dying breed, because of the fact that more and more women are working, leaving less viewers for em. Good ridance!! |

lol trickster you just dont know...that guy seriously must have lacked testosterone!!! it was bad. but yeah, i think he's that bad one for me id rather not try and think about. and more about sticking to one night stands michael...dont give up on love sweety, really. you dont seem THAT old. but its never too late for it!! dont be afraid to jump back in the water...youll be happier with a happy home than a happy bed. (now that sounds mushy, but ya know what, oh well). please disregard all those other comments i said to you..i forgot youre one of the good guys =\ |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 2:46 pm |
Kira, I still think You ought to join the Draft talk, I want to hear Your (although somewhat early) insight. Regardless of if we lose out, or win out, I don't see us getting lesser than a 15 pick. I'm guessing we will win at least 2 of the final games though. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 2:44 pm |
awww listen sweets about the lonely comment...i didnt mean none of that. i'm the type where i say what i mean, but i dont mean whay i say. so in other words, its not like someone forced me to type it - i meant to, but it was a stupid comeback. heck, lonely or not, whoever is on here can get on for their own reasons. me? well ive stated mine...im too young for all that mess arent i? chivalry isnt dead...if i like the guy enough, i wouldnt mind if he opened my door. but you know michael, that lady was an idiot. sure, i dont know you, but you could have handled this whole fiasco way differently, and i find you quite charming!! i feel bad...must have been a tough pill to swallow but be careful on the one night stands...you dont want something nasty thats with you for life |

Hey Spadaro: Get a new topic and some stimulating "Football," material on this site. "Are you calling it a year, and are YOU, going to be here or gone next season?" Come on guy, "Hype the crowd," This could be our last game of the season. "Soap Opera's Over," 500 posts plus, "Are you kidding me?" |
| TricksterG 12/04/08 2:42 pm |
DBM: Haha, indeed least you had the sense about you to ditch him. Just reading your post about him, sounded like he was backwards, lol. Talking all day on the phone, yep thats not a guy. Hopefully you werent with that guy too long but I think everybody has at least one (or more!) that they are glad to be done with. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 2:38 pm |
Thanks Kira, but I'm not lonely. I'm over Sara finaly. She calls sometimes and I think purposely causes Katrina to be loud so I can hear how perfectly she converses now..(Her daughter, not mine.. love her untill my dying day. If she shows up years down the road, curious to who was her father since months till 3 years, I'll happily accept her back into my life as a daughter I never created). That emotionaly bothers me at times. But as for being lonely, I'm forcing myself to stick with one night stands, don't need another mudslide until I've built stable enough foundation. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 2:36 pm |
lol trickster i dont mind it at all. but as you can see, i definitely would have been an idiot myself to stay with him. |

haha no chance im pullin some girl who weighs 3 bills...or 2 for that matter..ill stay with the good looking ones, but ol college buddy a mine had a money quote that he used"if u talk to enough mauuney girls the odds r at least one of them will like ya" |

Fanatic: Prior Army myself but like I said I felt your pain with the same crap on deployment. One of the worst feelings.
DBM: Well Im sure you are glad to be rid of a **** like that. Hell a chic that can talk football, your bound to bag a guy of your choice. He sounded like a grade A idiot if you dont mind me saying so. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 2:24 pm |
lol you should go...at 21, just look and smell sharp and someone will take notice (she might be a bit busted but hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.) well my ex was ridiculous. never took me out and wanted to talk all day on the phone LIKE A GIRL!! now i like talking, but he wouldnt lay off. no car, and had a girl drive him to and from work - oddly michael, HIS NEIGHBOR!! of course he tried to convince me nothing was going on, even bought me roses one day. but when christmas came last year and he took a fat married lady (who tried to start an affair with him!!) over me since i pissed him off to our company christmas party, im still shocked i took him back. from there, downhill, and i quit and he wanted to keep things going. so when my best friend sees him out to eat with the girl that drove him to work, i was like man forget it, FINALLY. football season always reminds me of him since we always watched the games all last season and part of this one. sucks. |

hah, I knew You would bring that up. Sara never would tell me what I did wrong, but it seems most women do that. Our marriage didn't work out because I was constantly working though, was working 12/5 and 12/6 shifts, with 8 hour watches mixed in. Our squadron was undermanned at all times, because we usualy had 1 to 3 deployments going out at once. She cheated on me with the neighbor, came home early one day for possibly saving a fully loaded mh-53 crew. Felt great till I got home at 1:30AM to find Katrina alone, sleeping and sound, luckily. Sara was two apartments down screwing the neighbor. |

You learn by living Kira. That's where wisdom, not opinions come from. Please believe me, and it's not bragging, "When I tell you I've lived!" I've got the "scars to show for it." :) I'll leave you all to your thoughts and hopefully healing. Eagles to the end, Icon... |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 2:13 pm |
well i was planning on going christmas shopping after im off work icon...i know what bi-polar is trust me i studied it. its kind of funny trying to explain that i dont have it but maybe im just still upset about my stupid ex. cant believe i still even think about the guy, maybe thats why i type a lot to you guys, since me and him were forever talking about football and i kinda miss it. but i really am sorry michael...i really didnt have a point or reason to send angry comments. they werent that angry though were they? =\ |
| TricksterG 12/04/08 2:13 pm |
Does it ever end? You guys and girls just keep flaming one another. Do you not realize how much is lost in typing words? People interpret what they read however they see fit, even though you arent even trying to be mean or what not. Why doesnt everybody just step back and look at how out of control this has gotten. Is this fun to keep trying to explain oneself and others through a friggin message board on the Eagles site? |
| Fyer 12/04/08 2:11 pm |
Always something in the comment section, lol. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 2:08 pm |
Agreed Icon. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 2:07 pm |
okay sweets look at this "Uh oh ..Brizer, Kira is trying to make You look soft." That was the start of it...i thought you were just joking, but brizers entire point of me being here is the fact that i compromise the credibility of the site by talking about things not related to football. you futhermore went on to say " Though considering this is an Eagles football website, and a large majority of folks that log on are here for (Eagles)football discussions, some of the things posted are just completely out of place. There are other websites for posts like those." To me, it just looks like you're trying to prove what bozo has said all along - and thank you icon, but do my comments really seem all that angry? i didnt think so...its mainly my sarcasm and mean comments, like "shut up!" or "you dont matter to me" that were just a bit much. i really like you though michael anthony...i remmeber you and i'm sorry to have said those things. i didnt mean it, and to clarfy, you definitely matter to me - how else did i remember you? i can tell you were divorced though...the whole trying to figure out what you did thing. wonder why it didnt work out? you seem quite catchy yourself. |
| icontutu 12/04/08 2:05 pm |
Hence the comment, "Bipolar." Not a direct attack, "But a noticable change in disposition." It's not us or the men against you, "Just Men." Love you, "Chill and go shopping and come back tomorrow after you cooled off." If your mad at me for telling you to go, I'm sorry, your just a little more "over sensitized," then you've been lately. Men, if they truly are men, always play to the ladies, "They as I, truly value your presence here, okay? |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 2:01 pm |
I agree Lion, but these guys are good, and I've done alot of research. You don't think there are so many scouting reports this early for no reason do You? It's never a bad time to dip our feet into the drafting possibilities. It's just a discussion to talk about, after all. And no Kira, I do have to be sorry, because I never meant for You to get angry. I only said "Back to football talk then, no thoughts on the edited mock draft, anyone?" because I knew You were getting angry and wanted to sway the discussion away from You. I believe we were both wrong for things we've said. Should have put the words in less aggressive tones.
|
| icontutu 12/04/08 1:57 pm |
Kira, "Let me offer you one last insight on this misunderstanding with "Fanatic." He's embarrassed and honestly confused. He really does like you,and seriously, doesn't know what he's done to make you so upset. Yes Kira, "I fight and defend against, the unprovoked attackers." But in this situation, "I love you darling," but truly, do not understand your anger! Although this site is biased towards the male gender, "You have been honestly accepted and in some regards, protected & respected as family." It's a, "Macho," male thing. Now, many are confused by your anger, as am I. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:57 pm |
hey i said sorry already. now wheres my cool points? teasing...but that sucks. i just broke things off with my wack ex...that guy was the worse (the one who threw the meat). stupid reskins fan...well michael you sound nice. let me look over what started all this in the first place..hold on |
| TricksterG 12/04/08 1:56 pm |
Im fairly new to these boards and comments but just reading a few on down, all I have to say is wow. I come expecting to talk football (and completely understand that the topic will stray) but this has turned into a soap opera. |
| thefirelion 12/04/08 1:54 pm |
PEF) I like the choices, but really prefer to see where and how we finish and take a closer look at what might be available in FA before looking too closely at the draft. ps. Hint. I think it was the bi-polar question that really upset dbm. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:54 pm |
no that wasnt it either. the stuff afterwards was talking about how i shouldnt write other stuff on here since its about football, and other things you say. im not a total ditz - i took the class back in 11th grade but was turned off after i couldn't seem to master freud's theories. you know, you don't have to be sorry and yes i was really happy until you started with all the comments about how i brag about myself on here. was that all necessary? not. if i ever become famous, geez man i'll admit "I WAS DBM517!" just to get ya off my case. i, too, am sorry for the rants and pointless things i said...and who knows, if you were actually real i might not find you too shabby. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:53 pm |
"if we make the playoffs...wonder what he'll rant on about next" If that's another attack on me, that's not even fair. At least I'm ranting about my team, not my shoes. Anyway, I'm basing my picks off of us winning out. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:51 pm |
As for You still attacking me, I still think You ought to go back and read what I posted that upset You, so that I can know what I did wrong. And since You brought it up, I'm not talking to You because I'm lonely. I'm recently divorced, but that has nothing, at all, to do with my posts on this site. Calm down. And You did lose points, because in the past I respected Your opinion. I'd like to keep it that way. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:49 pm |
If You're talking about me asking if You're Bi-Polar??? That was a general question, I just noticed that You were really really happy earlier, and something You said previous to that made me curious. Remember, I once thought about pursueing a career in psychology, but never did. I'm good at making people I know feel better. If that's what made You upset, I'm sorry. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:47 pm |
seasons not even over and the guys still talkin about the draft. been that way allll morning. if we make the playoffs...wonder what he'll rant on about next. and yes i remember youre michael anthony. j in va...you should still go. men dont have to dance anyways, they just stand back and let the girl do it for them! |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:45 pm |
Duke Robinson; Heavy run blocking guard, with good footwork and speed for his size. Chase Coffman; Quick, sure hands, strong TE. Kam Chancellor; Tall (6'4" If I remember correct) fast, hard hitting S that has played both SS and FS positions during college. Arian Foster/Jennings; Both are bruising power backs. Jorv Lane; REALLY big bruising FB. Not real fast, but quick considering his hefty size. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:44 pm |
lol i dont care if i lost all points since you dont matter to me. i dont know you, so if you refuse to respond to my comments, oh well. i called you a woman hater because you are nit-picking about me talking about shopping get kiss jb's a*ss when he talks about going to strip clubs. say i had some guys come over that were dressed up like firefighters, youd have something to say. THATS why i called you one, see the comparison? this didnt start from that joke you made and you know it. its what you said afterwards, and the fact that youre still typing to me shows how lonely you really are. if you want to have a debate with a woman, find one in person. and if you dont like what i have to say, stop reading it. and j in va...so true. the two white guys i saw there were just standin and watching their black friends get it on lol |

| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:42 pm |
My updated mock 09 draft. In order as available: 1a- OG Duke Robinson, OT Jason Smith, OT Ciron Black. 1b- TE Chase Coffman, TE Brandon Pettigrew. 2- S Kam Chancellor. 3- RB Arian Foster, RB Rashad Jennings. I'm still not 100% on 4,5a, and 5b, but I'm still looking into a few recievers, CBs, and OT/G/Cs for them. Also looking at FB Jovarsky Lane for a 4-5 pick. |
| J.in.VA.3@... 12/04/08 1:41 pm |
join the "club"(pun intended) fanatic, ive been called a mysogonistatic too, dont take it personal, honestly i dont even know wat it means, it prob means stud |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:40 pm |
no icon youre fine and thanks for the words...but look at his stuff closely and youll see the sneaky anger in it. he likes the way he types or something since he would rather keep rephrashing stuff at least 10 times per hour. after a while, its boring, and if he doesnt want to hear what i have to say, then he ought to not read my posts. didnt you say something the other day about this? seriously, popularity? acceptance? dude, shut up, seriously. (not you icon) |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:39 pm |
Also, I don't always agree with JB. But he does have good football insight. Am I not allowed to respect that? Ah well, I'm not letting someone that talks about shoes on the Eagles website, tell me what I can, or cannot do. YOU, are the one who has lost points. |
| J.in.VA.3@... 12/04/08 1:39 pm |
yeas i know bout them but dont really go cuz im not big into clubbin, some girl i used to know went like every friday and tried to get urs truly to go sometimes but i never did, either cuz im more of a chiller or cuz im white(and most whiteys, like myself, dont dance or cant dance) |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:38 pm |
Kira, if You're going to keep attacking me, make sense in the meantime. I didn't mean to start any of this, and I still don't believe I'm the one whom did. I made a non-hurtful joke, You retaliated. Calm the flute down. I am far from a misogynist, I even defended You from ones You claimed were in the past. Remember my other screename? Anyway, You seem to be having a personality disorder breakout. I'm done talking with You, until You sit in a corner, go back and read our conversations, and tell me what the hell makes me a "woman hater". You flew off the charts, for no reason. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:32 pm |
fanatic, youre a misogynist. im convinced. ive called plenty of guys on here that, but you truly are. when JB has such random stories that never relate, you praise the man as if you two were married. wack yo. look it up...im sure you dont have a clue what it means but i'll help you doll: it's a woman hater. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:29 pm |
I've also come to believe someone I don't know only signs on for a sense of popularity, or acceptance. Easily could be wrong though, since I don't know them, and didn't pursue the psychologist career. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:29 pm |

| icontutu 12/04/08 1:29 pm |
Hi Kira: Are you losing that "Thanksgiving Glow?" I thought Fanatic was just sounding like, "A Big Brother," not an "Attacker." Remember "Team Eagles," is a "Family." I know where he's coming from, "It's the way us guys respond to certain type female comments, as innocent as they may or may not be! Remember "Woman are from Venus and Men are from Mars?" Just the difference in persceptions... I guess I'm boring you to darling, just thought it's worth the comment... |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:27 pm |
I agree to a degree, J. Though considering this is an Eagles football website, and a large majority of folks that log on are here for (Eagles)football discussions, some of the things posted are just completely out of place. There are other websites for posts like those. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:24 pm |
lol i went to fur last friday dear. it was AMAZING!! people complain about it but thats because theyre old timers who cant handle the youngins. but i seriously never remember sayin i was cute...usually those that brag on themselves being this and that are the exact opposite. oh well, im not here to brag on myself. i love the eagles, shopping, shoes, and loud music =] and j in va if youre really in VA, you should def know about fur |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:22 pm |

| J.in.VA.3@... 12/04/08 1:20 pm |
however dbm u do kinda bring it on urself with the whole im cute and im mauuney vibe, but like fanatic...if u r maunney when we goin clubbin? |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:20 pm |
j in va, excellent point! as you can see, i, too, wasnt on very often, especially around Thanksgiving. and my posts now are mainly about my shopping. the same stuff over and over and over can get very redundant and dull...i thought guys liked spice in their lives? guess not. splains all the depression out there...what to do once the football seasons over? |
| J.in.VA.3@... 12/04/08 1:16 pm |
i was readin these posts cuz well...im bored. and i always here ppl on here sayin lets talk football, keep it about football, this is a football site and i actually thought that way to before. but i dont post as much as i used to the past weeks cuz well i realized after awhile we all say the same stuff over and over. so if ppl post non related football stuff and u dont like it...dont read their posts cuz imo the non football discussions are sometimes welcome, as a change |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:16 pm |
you baited it. but seriously, im not here to defend or argue. he likes me he really really likes me!!! now what movie was that from? lol the fact you still are typing to me fanatic even though you said its dropped is truly the reason i say im justified when i say im adored on here. just kidding...but i like you guys and the debates. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:16 pm |
Icruz, I prefer TE Chase Coffman of Missouri. Like Pettigrew too though. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:11 pm |
You're being defensive again, by the way. I wasn't trying to be offensive, and surely didn't except the venom from You. I made one joke, not even a humiliating one either, and You came with the fire. Calm down. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:09 pm |
Dropped. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:09 pm |
Wow, I seem to have struck a nerve? Didn't mean to, the way You seem to think I did? No venom at all, why would I have any? I'm not a snake. Anyway, When I say the notion that You imagined it (Had to imagine SOMETHING, to be creeped out, yes?), was odd, it wasn't to be offensive. I meant that it's odd You even were creeped out. Twas a joke, is all. But I'll follow Your lead and flatter myself too, by saying it was a good point, mixed in with the josh. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:08 pm |
ugh quite frankly fanatic, im rather bored with talking to you. please comment on someone else, youre seriously losing cool points. not that you should care, after all, you dont know me. and since ive just indicated that, why do you insist on commenting on what i say? hm |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:06 pm |
ummm you cant name anything ive said about myself, other than where im from maybe. i joked about possibly resembling rossie o'donnel or beyonce for crying out loud. if you take that seriously, then you, sir, must have the problem. are you bi-polar? maybe you asked to see if we can relate. one second youre fine, the next youre on here pickin. drop it please. |
| icruz 12/04/08 1:05 pm |
Like the TE from OSU |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:03 pm |
Sounds to me like You're flattering Yourself. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 1:02 pm |
ugh i can sense some venom behind your comments. it isnt fair to say that just because a person doesnt know you automatically means what they say shouldnt bother you. plenty of girls back in HS didnt like me for their own reasons...maybe because their boyfriends had wandering eyes. either way, i didnt know them and it pissed me off the things they said, especially since they didnt know me. that was the fact...even at my last job, women would complain all day about the clothes i wore. "too tight, STOMACH SHOWING OMGGG!" to other male co-workers that happend to be my friends and were my buddies. i didnt know them either, not like that. did it bother me? yes. but the more i think about things, yes, i shouldnt let what they say affect me. its only normal though, so to mention that was rather useless buddy. but nice try. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 1:01 pm |
You have claimed many things about Yourself on here, Kira. But I don't want to dwell on that conversation any longer, was just making a point. I could talk about myself on here all day, but I don't think the average Joe signs onto this website to hear our personal ranting. Football, especialy relating to the Eagles obviously, is what we're here for! |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 12:59 pm |
umm i wasnt imagining anything buddy. you made the statement and i read it thinking uh...WHAT? similar to chris one day (hes cool though) joking around i should drive to canada and bring him a cheesesteak. i wasnt imagining it, i just got weirded out. dont flatter yourself...no offense but i probably wouldnt date you anyways. but i like you too...youre alright. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:58 pm |
Back to football talk then, no thoughts on the edited mock draft, anyone? |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:56 pm |
Good, You shouldn't let anyone who doesn't know You bother You. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:55 pm |
Creeped out? Just the notion that You had even a slight imagination about it is odd to me. The point to that joke, was that none of us know each other in person, and probably never will. Minus the Philly inhabitants. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 12:53 pm |
am i bi-polar? no? i will say that a lot of people take out their frustration on this site...well i thought i could come on here and talk freely without personal attacks and thats just what i got. you wouldnt like it either if you always got picked on, but i really couldnt care less about it anymore |
| icruz 12/04/08 12:52 pm |
Its easy to say that anybody is anything on a thread. For all everyone knows i am not a coach of a team. Dbm isnt a girl. Brizer is actuall funny in real life...so on and so fourth |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 12:49 pm |
excited was not what came to mind. more like creeped out, but def glad you were kidding. i dont say im so cute and all that and the guys can attest to that. how is it any different than jeromes random stories? its because men dont like shopping, but you ought to. shopping is amazing! |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:47 pm |
By the way, are You bi-polar? |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:45 pm |
Just kidding, by the way. Don't get too excited Kira. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 12:45 pm |
lol i know. i once heard that a powerful man is resistant to anything, except for a beautiful woman! that's his biggest enemy. If you've got your eye on one, she can make ya do some crazy and downright humiliting things! um um um |
| brizer9@... 12/04/08 12:44 pm |
oh boy,..think i'll move up my appt with my actuarial accountant,..beat it,..kids. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:44 pm |
As to why everyone discusses You, Kira. This is a male dominated site. You're a female, always talking about "I'm so cute, I go shopping, I'm so cute, Go Eagles!". To a degree, You bring the discussions upon Yourself. I like You though, maybe one day we'll marry and have twins. |
| icruz 12/04/08 12:42 pm |
PhillyFanatic thats the truth about women being capable of doing crap to a man's mind |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:40 pm |
I believe it Kira, I gave props for his twin daughter and son being born a couple days ago. Now that the pregnancy is out of the way, he should be a little more clear headed. (Im sure they have a nanny, with Don always at work during the NFL season) A woman can do terrible things to a mans mind. hah |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 12:39 pm |
thats right bozo is my dance partner <333 i showed him the ropes for the proper conduct when in a club/bar and surrounded by potential mistresses. just hope its not a fatal attraction! |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:36 pm |
JB and Brizer; My updated mock 09 draft. In order as available: 1a- OG Duke Robinson, OT Jason Smith, OT Ciron Black. 1b- TE Chase Coffman, TE Brandon Pettigrew. 2- S Kam Chancellor. 3- RB Arian Foster, RB Rashad Jennings. I'm still not 100% on 4,5a, and 5b, but I'm still looking into a few recievers, CBs, and OT/G/Cs for them. Also looking at FB Jovarsky Lane for a 4-5 pick. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 12:35 pm |
ugh dont start philly eagles...youre only going to make the nunnery and wench comments come about. you have to admit...im quite catchy. unless its the obvious guys on here like JB , why else would i alone be discussed for a good 10 minutes? thats cute. |
| brizer9@... 12/04/08 12:34 pm |
That's right, DMG,.we're practically dance partners..I'm still workin' on her extrapolations and misreading my posts,..but,.that will come with time ,... more woodshed time! |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 12:32 pm |
guys you know what i just read? that mcnabb was playing so poorly because he was concerned about his wife and twins. it was complicated and he was stressed out...makes me feel even more like a dunce =\ it's on philly.com |
| Chuck_Love@... 12/04/08 12:30 pm |
Also DMg, thanks for the perkin up on the Cuse squad. I was well aware that Cornell has a good program, I live about 20 minutes from Ithaca. And I knew they would play better than Colgate did, but SU came out looking real bad last night. There was no way Cornell should have put them in such a big hole early on. Oh well, the season is young, and hopefully they'll learn from it. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:29 pm |
Uh oh ..Brizer, Kira is trying to make You look soft. |
| icruz 12/04/08 12:28 pm |
dbm yeah its in New Orleans and the Saints are tough there...i think are main concern in this draft should be a TE and OL. The need for a WO can be taken care of through FA |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 12:28 pm |
the only thing that worries me about desean is his weight/height. he reminds me of pinkston, and trust me, i dont like being reminded of that bum. i just havent seen him get any monster hits (OMG LIKE THAT ONE GUY OFF THE PATRIOTS TEAM) and i don't want to ever see it, but then again i want to see if he could handle those and how he would adjust to the situation of its presented to him: he knows a big guy is coming and will hit him immediately if he grabs the ball. grab the ball for the 70 yard gain by the one-yard line but brace for a HUGE hit that could possibly result in a fumble/embarassment he cant handle big things, or a season-ending injury? or the ultimate pinkston move: BUMP THAT! do a little alligator arm twist, miss the opportunity, and call it a game. team of opposition -_- |
| Chuck_Love@... 12/04/08 12:27 pm |
DMG, good point. This game does have a lot of similarities to that Pats game last year. Except for one big difference. A healthy, (and now significantly less stressed) Donovan McNabb! |
| Chuck_Love@... 12/04/08 12:25 pm |
I agree icruz. Asante on Hixon. the onle game last year that JJ broke form and put Lito on TO all game worked like a charm. Why would he not do that more often? In other sports it's common place to put your best man on the other guys best man. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 12:23 pm |
lol i know dmg...hes said some rather nice/flattering things. but when he realizes what he's doing, will say "the wench needs to grab her apron" or "get thee to a nunnery." now that would have made me mad...but i thought about what you said, and can clearly see how funny that stuff really is. trust me...i laugh at a lot of things. not sure why i got so agitated on here before!! but icruz, defensive coordinator aye? well thats good to hear. also, will they be playing IN louisiana?? cause if not, i see how atlanta can easily win at home. but the other two games will be tough, i have to admit...so i guess there's hope after all. and philly eagles fanatic perhaps percy will be too catchy and they'll snap him up ASAP, but maybe not? if its meant to be, somehow he'll get on the team. but if mcnabb needs a "go-to" guy, i wouldn't want for it to be a rookie, in all honesty. right now we have desean so let's build him up and get a good receiver in the free agency. what we really need to worry about is our aging defense and the evaluation of our offensive line: is it really that great? |
| icruz 12/04/08 12:22 pm |
Percy looks like he might be a better pro thank Jackson if he can stay healthy |
| brizer9@... 12/04/08 12:18 pm |
the lehigh valley aint a bad spot,,guvna',,,in spite of what Billy Joel said,...plus,..yur close to TC,..you and alcoa can double date and give us reports....you lucky dawg! |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:16 pm |
Kira, I gave up on us grabbing Percy Harvins. Chances are he'll be gone first to mid second round, and we have other needs for high picks. I still need to see what our 4 man rotation can do against the remaining schedule, but I think trades/FA might be the better option for reciever. I agree with You though, that Harvins is great. Similiar to Peanut. |
| icruz 12/04/08 12:15 pm |
dbm thanks...not HC for me i would rather be the Defensive Coordinator |
| icruz 12/04/08 12:15 pm |
PhillyFanatic...i try |
| dmg@... 12/04/08 12:12 pm |
Dekira (I keep using different versons I know), glad to see my advice was useful. Makes for a lot more fun when posting doesn't it? Even though things get heated on here sometimes it's always best to try to be a Duck and let it roll of your back. As you can see the humor on here can be biting at times but in the end it is humor for the most part. Even Brizer is starting to take a little shine to you! |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:08 pm |
At least we're on the same page. lol |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 12:08 pm |
good idea. i hope you guys win!! Maybe you'll get a promotion as HC one day ;] |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:08 pm |
Nice timing, Icruz. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:03 pm |
Wow, why is nobody buying us making the playoffs if we win out? If ATL loses to the Bucs and the Vikings, the way I have projected, we're good. They COULD even lose the upset to the Saints. The Panthers, they have the top WC just about clinched, unless the Panthers win this weekend. In which case the Bucs have it. We need to beat the Girls and Skins. I'm not as worried about the Falcons, as I am about our own schedule. Realisticly we shouldn't win out. Phanaticaly, we will. |
| icruz 12/04/08 12:03 pm |
dbm i can def see ATl losing 2. First this Sunday against the Saints. its a divison game and its at the Super Dome where the Saints are tough. Then next Sunday they gotta play the Bucs. So i can see them losing those. And not to mention the Vikings the week after who they can lose to also. Vikings arent losing the Williams DTs because they have a temp injunction |
| icruz 12/04/08 12:00 pm |
dbm we watched film yesterday. The team we are playing is more of a fast/finese team. Much like ours and i must say they dont look to physical. Which is what my whole team prides themselve as being. Hard hitters |
| dmg@... 12/04/08 11:58 am |
Hey Noodles, I have a money making proposition for you. Read the following: Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a Donkey from a farmer for $100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the Donkey the next day.
The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad
news, your donkey died.'
Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'
The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.'
Chuck said,'Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.
The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him?'
Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'The farmer said: 'You can't
raffle off a dead donkey!'
Chuck said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's
dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened with
that dead donkey?'
Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a
piece and made a profit of $998.'
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'
Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars
back.'
Chuck now works on Wall Street for AIG.....Looks like a boiler plate for success to me!

| dbm517@... 12/04/08 11:52 am |
dmg, your advice def was very good...as you can see, my comments no longer have a defensive edge to em. i dont know about this...im not buying atl losin at least two or TB or carolina losin three. the teams know whats on the line, but if it's meant to be, things will fall into place after a huge win at the meadowlands. |
| dmg@... 12/04/08 11:44 am |
Does anyone else see the eerie connection between the up coming Giant game and last years Patriot game? It's about at the same point in the season as last year's Patriot game, the Eagles need the game to stay in the playoff hunt as with last years game, and the Giants are currently the best team in football just like the Patriots were last year. Too many similarities. I also think like the Patriot game last year the Eagles will need to play a perfect game to win, unless for some strange reason the Giants lay an egg. I like everyone's enthusiasm and all but I haven't quite jumped on the bandwagon just yet. Arizona is a very poor road team. Another thing that bothers me is the Eagles haven't won a game by 7 points or less since 2007 and are 3-9-1 in the last two years in games decided by 7 or less. I haven't seen McNabb perform well in a close game that the Eagles actually won since I don't know when. I don't want to rain on everyone's parade but it will be a huge upset if the Eagles win considering their recent track record. I'll still be pulling for them to win as hard as always on Sunday though I admit I'm not too optimistic. |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 11:42 am |
hey how ya doin icruz?? hows your team comin along? |
| icruz 12/04/08 11:38 am |
afternoon dbm whats good? |
| thefirelion 12/04/08 11:35 am |
nuudlz) commutes not bad. 15 mins maybe tops? |
| icruz 12/04/08 11:32 am |
Sorry Nud and kb what receiver are you guys talking about? The kid that play divison 2??? |
| dbm517@... 12/04/08 11:32 am |
nudlz if youre only 27 thats not hardly old. but all those years in school...definitely sucks. i guess that explains the hostility at times in your posts...you don't mean it, but can let out the frustration here. Why don't you try and get a clearance or something? If something doesn't work for ya, move on from it. The plan about living with the rents isnt bad at all. you can save cash hopefully, work things out - nothing wrong with that at all. i suggest you get a honda...i like hondas. would prefer a beemer, but have to wait a few years for that ultimate prize. location location location. def dont move to northern VA. prices for the smallest place are through the roof, even though the economy isnt so great. id suggest perhaps delaware? ecklin sounds nice, but a little boring. philly is only two and a half hours from where i am, so you can't go wrong really anywhere from d.c. to camden. but camden is BAD! you might also try laurel MD. |
| dmg@... 12/04/08 11:29 am |
Chuck, FYI Cornell is a pretty decent squad. They won the Ivy League (which isn't such a bad conference by the way) last year and went to the tournament and are favorites to repeat. They had a few injuries earlier in the year to their starting guards so they lost a couple of games they shouldn't have. Bottom line is don't be so worried that Cuse didn't smoke them. They aren't the Cornell of old. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 11:17 am |
kb: I'd love to see the eagles take another tall and beefy reciever, myself. There are a lot of recievers slated to go in the first 2 rounds, but after the 08 draft . . . dunno. And we gotta account for 3 other positions that are hurting more than reciever. He sounds legit, though. |
| kb_66@... 12/04/08 11:11 am |
We're talking about a kid that has broken one of Jerry Rice's records. I'm not comparing him to Rice at all, but I would hate to see a player of his caliber go to a division rival. I really believe this kid is something special. Also I mention Gocong since he was a college teammate of his and probably watched him eat up corners on a daily..... |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 11:07 am |
Chucko: Sheldon doesnt need to be quick if he gets a good jam on Hixon, who is a bit of a string bean. He couldnt cover Burress because Burress is a physical load with burners, he could muscle his way past Brown and beat Lito deep. Hixon is fast, but I dont see him shedding Brown easily. Still . . . Samuels commands too much respect for Coughlin to match up a fa accquisition against. Coughlin's no dummy. |
| Chuck_Love@... 12/04/08 11:02 am |
I know they play sides, but I'd much rather see Samuels on Hixon. Hixon is too quick, unless they give Brown a lot of help over the top with a safety. I think Sanuels can play Toomer alone well enough. But at least one Safety is going to have to be up in the box all game long. So somebody is going to be man up in the secondary all day long. Unless we can get a big enough lead, then we'll force them to be one dimensional. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 11:02 am |
kb: I'll rewrite what the webmasters screwed up. Your right about Peanut, but he still oughtta be familiar with the recievers in the poly cal area, and his word would go a bit further than Gocong's. |
| kb_66@... 12/04/08 11:01 am |
I think Gocong would vouch for him. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 11:01 am |
lion: how bad is the commute to the other side of town? |
| icruz 12/04/08 11:00 am |
Whats up everyone???...Corner ususally play there own side of the field unless assigned otherwise which i think they should assign Asante on Hixon because he can keep up speed wise...oh i also heard the 76ers are interested in getting Marbury...dont care for the 76ers though always been a Celtics fan |
| thefirelion 12/04/08 10:58 am |
Major truckstop in the area on the other side of town, but recommend against buying in any of the neighborhoods close to the truckstop. The only one that is okay that side of town are townhouses you probably would pay close to the same as reg homes in the neighborhoods I mentioned. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 10:57 am |
then Gocong's. get my drift? |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 10:56 am |
Chuck Taylor: You and I both know that the corners arent assigned to recievers, they just play their sides. Or Asante does, at the least. I expect Coughlin to line up Hixon against Brown and Eli is gonna look to throw that way often, so that is a matchup I'm lookin at. JJ would've schemed for the run in this game regardless of the Burress situation . . . he is pretty good about making adjustments against division rivals over the course of the season. |
| Chuck_Love@... 12/04/08 10:53 am |
Yeah, Whitman, and not Walt. The kid could hit from about 30', but for the first 12 minutes of the game they kept letting him get open looks. He drained 6 in the 12 minutes, then 3 more the rest of the way. Coach went to the full CP with 8 to go in the 1st half, and they went from down 16 to down 5 at the half. Rautins has also got to get his act together. He missed several wide open 3's last night. |
| greenspeed 12/04/08 10:50 am |
re: ST<===last saw them circa '89 in Baltimore w/ Merciful Fate and Exodus if memory serves. Looking forward to it, and all the better once we're 7-5-1. |
| Chuck_Love@... 12/04/08 10:49 am |
Yeah Nuudz, I likeour chances a lot this weekend. Especially sans Buress. JJ spent way too much effort shutting him down a few weeks ago. We gotta stop the run. So, where do you put Samuels? On Toomer, or Hixon? I like him on Hixon myself. Let Brown lay the hammer on Toomer a few times early in the game to shake up his confidence. |
| kb_66@... 12/04/08 10:45 am |
Barden is in his senior year. Gocong went to Cal Poly SLO. D-Jack went to Long Beach Poly High then to the University of Cal Berkley.... |

JB, did you see the struggle SU had with Cornell last night? Yeesh, Their Defensse in the first 10 minutes of the game was pathetic! |
| Nuuuudlz 12/04/08 10:38 am |
KB: what year is Barden in? If he gets the letter of recommendation from Peanut (also from Cal Poly, remember) then he's gonna be a major prospect, at the least. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/04/08 10:37 am |
The sweet thing about that guy is... we got a chance to see him. I wanted to record it. So I came up with this fantastic idea. I dressed up as a rabbit. And in my ears I had digital recorders. But there was no security really. And once I got in. Everybody was holding tape recorders. Digital and whatever they wanted. Dude couldn't care less. === The rabbit was still a good idea. |
| thefirelion 12/04/08 10:37 am |
That's (appraisal value) about the going range for a 3-4 BR home with full or partially finished basement in the area for the better neighborhoods. |
| greenspeed 12/04/08 10:33 am |
Nu^4: acknowledged and agree...a complete effort will be required by players and staff alike...i def like our chances |
| kb_66@... 12/04/08 10:32 am |
Come draft time I hope that the Eagles FO remember the name "Ramses Barden". He's a 6'6" 230lb. receiver out of Cal Poly SLO. This kid is a beast. He torched Wisconsin a few weeks back. Hopefully Chris Gocong can convince the Fo to take a serious look at this kid. He'll go 1st or 2nd round with no problem. I know there will be some non believers out there, but check his numbers. Barden is the TRUTH..... |

I hear ya, JB. At the same time, if you dont have anything to compare happy to, you never really know what happy is, right? Everything in its place. I'm not gonna be happy as long as my folks gotta support me . . . their as good as you can ask for, and my situation is unfair to them. But enough gushing . . . its good to see "the heart of the Giants defense" show his true colors. Lets hear him talk ish about Trotter now. |

Kenny: Sounds like you know your finances. I guess it comes down to priorities. My #1 priority, right now, is to get that 2nd year of experience on my resume, become legitimate as more than an apprentice. Striking out into an exciting new field of energy is all and well, but theres gotta be security on both sides. Employer needs to know that I can handle the work, and I need to be able to support myself. I'm living with my folks in MD right now, and my loan payments are about due. I'm lookin at a year of work before I move anywhere. And yeah, the lehigh area is an option I'm considering. Elkton MD is also on my list. 1 hour from Philly, 1 hour from Baltimore . . . nice. |
| thefirelion 12/04/08 10:01 am |
"According to the newspaper, Pierce's testimony could enable him to avoid charges of hiding Burress' Glock pistol after the shooting.
"He's going to have to testify," a law enforcement source told the Post. That's all well and good (well not really, but you know what I mean) legal charges-wise, but should not make him immune to a league suspension.

JB, guess I can't blame or dispute with Management, looking for a cure and in retrospect, we really don't have an excuse for our "Poor Performance," this season. I really don't want to get into it now, before this Sunday's game, cause our guys need all the help and support we can give them, "to add, one game," to the win column. I put the site on here, as "it was just posted." I hope the additional rest, a little optimism and outside pressure, will make the difference and "put us over the top." |

Here's my deal. People have Maclin going anywhere from 4th overall to mid 2nd round. But to line him up across from Peanut almost assures we see Cover2 stuff all day every day. Cause nobody could handle that speed outside. And... Reid is a Master at gettin matchups. So if we add Gresham Pettigrew or a down the field TE threat like Beckum. Toss in #36. Thats a dangerous O. === still have to overhaul the Oline though. |

| brizer9@... 12/04/08 8:57 am |
yep,..maclin also is a very good return man,..sparing Peanut some wear and tear...CRAB is a TO clone with better metrics and huge hands!,..so short term,..I may like Maclin alot more at 34 than CRAB at 5,..on the other hand..long term,...CRAB could be HOF material,.only time will tell. |

Just pulled this from the Web. Don't look into this type of material too often, I can make my own observations, but for those of you that like this sort of thing: http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/default.htm |
| JeromeBrown99 12/04/08 8:31 am |
Crab is the better WR. Maclin brings the big play. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/04/08 8:31 am |
On the other hand.... Harvin averages something like a TD every 10 touches. And our O is kinda similar the way we spread it out. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/04/08 8:30 am |
The thing that scares me about Harvin is.... they got some other guys that are the same thing. Demps and Rainey. So.... are they that talented? Or is Harvin not as good as he looks? |
| brizer9@... 12/04/08 8:29 am |
yea,.we have pretty good HS football 'round my neck of the woods,..ranked #1 inda state..see what happens. |
| brizer9@... 12/04/08 8:16 am |
since CRAB is a pipedream...maclin works in the 34-50 range for me,..he def would be more versatile and prob better for our SB 2010 run than CRAB!..harvin may be another Booker...bag it,.guvna'. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/04/08 8:08 am |
Oh... yeah I see now. I wanted Harvin. LOL!!! Seriously... I don't really want Harvin. Don't know how his name got in there. === Lots of others are sayin Harvin and Peanut would be unstoppable. And maybe that would be hard to stop. And if #36 went out we wouldn't miss much with Harvin in the backfield. I just think we have bigger problems. === But... if Maclin fell to out 2nd 1st rounder.... that would be hard to pass. |

I just don't know about Loadholt. He's kinda an Oaf. But so is Runyan so.... hard to say. He's Monster. Everybody will agree on that. |
| folabi5412@... 12/04/08 7:54 am |
we need to run the ball more often like bfore cant you see if the run game is good we are successful most of the time. for example the cardinals game west brook 22 carries for 132 yards i believe so and we won so i think we should run on giants casue if we dont they will, just like they do to everybody else right now |

| JeromeBrown99 12/04/08 7:28 am |
I watched the 1st nyg game again. Bradley made a ton of tackles but they were way down field. If we can't turn that thing back in towards him... it will be him makin miracle tackles from behind all day again. That play side DE and LB have got to turn that thing inside. Got to break Jacobs stride. Make him restart. === And Gaither was awful that game. I was curious about his benching. But I see it now. He just couldn't run enough. And he got caught up in the trash all day. He's got to get off that lil poor attempt at an off play side block and run that thing down. He looked terrible. Jordan is no doubt the better cover guy... but he can't play the run worse than that. |

Now.. on the other hand... We might have the 23rd and 18th pick. Maybe better. Check out names in that area from this same mock. DE Greg Hardy, G Duke Robinson,WR Jeremy Maclin, DT Terrence Cody, TE Pettigrew, DT SenDerrick Marks and WR/RB Percy Harvin. === How would 2 of those sound? I'd take Robinson and Maclin and giggle all the way to the Super Bowl. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/04/08 6:13 am |
To answer my own DRAFT QUIZ. A right side of our OLine with Herman Johnson at G and Andrews at RT... would be tough to pass up. Same with Andrews at RG and Phil Loadholt at RT. But I would take Mack over Caldwell. And I would take Beckum over Coffman. My answer is Alex Mack and Travis Beckum. And I would be thrilled. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/04/08 5:56 am |
After doing some research. It's almost certain that 1 of those C's will fall to our 2nd round pick. Same with TE. Max Unger, Alex Mack or Antoine Caldwell. Germaine Gresham, Travis Beckum, Brandon Pettigrew or Chase Coffman. Also 2nd rounders that will be there... FS's Derek Pegues and Rashad Johnson of Bama. === Now... Mack, Unger and Caldwell are as good a C as you'll find for a prospect. Pettigrew and Gresham are inline blockers that are HUGE targets. Coffman and Beckum are go-up-and-get-it types that have WR skill. And Pegues is a former CB with PR/KR skills that are top of the line. Pretty much Demps but a better returner. And Johnson I just don't know much about. But I'm pullin my Clemson and LSU games as I type to take a look. === But any of those guys with 2 1st rounders.... I admit. Got my 1st 'butterflies' thinkin about next years draft tonight. === My delusional trade thoughts have started. How about takin Will Moore. Trading our other 1st rounder and pickin up Gresham, Alex Mack and 1 of those FS's? === This is gonna be SuuuuWeeeeT!!! |
| JeromeBrown99 12/04/08 5:44 am |
DRAFT QUIZ!!!! === The very worst scenario would be... Carolina and EAGLES play in the NFCCG. 1 of us wins the SB. That would give us the 32nd and 29th/30th pick. Now... every single one of us would agree. If a Mays, Ciron Black, Germaine Gresham, Duke Robinson, Harvin, Maclin or any of the other guys we talked about fall this far... WE TAKE THEM regardless of needs and all that. But in this quiz they are gone. === I picked a mock. Started at 30th pick and got the next 13 available. You get 2 of them. Have at it. === S Kam Chancellor of VT. TE Chase Coffman if Mizzou. OT Sam Young of Notre Dame. WR Ken Britt of Rutgers. OG Herman Johnson of LSU. OT Phil Loadholt of OU. C Alex Mack of Cal.

| treyton 12/04/08 2:01 am |
TE is huge for the WCO. that 5-15 yard range between the hashes has been missing since chad lewis was here. let alone red zone. even the old long snapper, i cant remember his name, was a real threat at the goal line. i still wonder if #89 hadnt broken his leg after catching 2 TD's in the nfc championship, if the outcome of SB couldnt have been different? |
| treyton 12/04/08 1:55 am |
bradley made a lot of tackles in game 1,but, most of them were after 5-8 yard gains. this week i expect those tackles to be at the line of scrimmage. |

| JeromeBrown99 12/04/08 12:32 am |
Well... When Sherman got that job... he told Lane he needed to move to FB. Said he would get a TC tryout and get cut as an IB. But he would have a long career in the NFL as a FB. But FB hasn't worked well with him. === My problem with him is.... you can take 1 peek at him and know he's got a 'wait' problem. Can't wait to eat! |

As far as makin some nice easy money. A pal-o-mine rented a nice brick house. Paid about $1,200 a month. Spent $800 on a hydroponic grow system and ionizers. 50 plants that fill out every month and a half. Got.... on the average... 3 ounces per plant. Sold them for $300 an ounce. Thats $900 a plant every 3 months. Paid a guy $2400 a month to live there in 1 room so it looked normal. So in other words... he paid out around $12,000 every 3 months to make around $45,000. Did that for 4 years till a cop chopper with infrared busted the house. He paid a lawyer 15,000 bucks. The lawyer got the guy living there 1 month in jail and 10 years probation. Doesn't even have to go in. It's a 'mail it in' probation. At 100 plants... it's mandatory jail. But 99 is just like 1. === So my pal made 1/2 of a mill. over 4 years. But the kicker is.... he has 2 more houses yet to be caught. Dude lives down the street from Mack Brown and Julia Roberts. And he's around 26 years old. |

ANYONE.... from Lufkin I beat the a** out of as soon as mine eyes lay on them. Man, woman or child. All fair game. === As far as football player. He's not bad. I'll take Vakapuna over Lane though. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/04/08 12:14 am |

| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 11:26 pm |
And about Demps. I'm not sayin the guy can't play. But do you want to go into the season with Demps and Considine at FS? I'd take Demps and a guy like Moore any day of the week. Moore can play free and strong. Could b/u both spots till ready. And that would let the ST miracle worker Considine concentrate there. A rook won't start at FS. Look at Phillips for nyg. Same D and he can't start? No yet but he will. Demps is in the plan. No doubt about it. === When thinkin next year... S is our weak link. imo. === I'll go in with thte same damn team next year. But we need a S, TE and Oline. |

As 3D would say,..follow the money,..trying to encourage my son to get into alternative energy,..if T Boone Pickens goes there, it's probably a good idear.

| kenemeka@... 12/03/08 10:33 pm |
Okay, Noodles, the English major explains the clarity of the posts but not the smarts. You are young enough to get where you want. BTW, don`t be fooled by all that student loan stuff. There are guys with loans in the 6 figure range who are still doing their stuff. Let me put it this way...think of the jobs you are applying for, how much is the compensation? take that annual salary, just take out the tax, then see how far the take home can make a hole in your loans. Homes will come, believe me. |
| kenemeka@... 12/03/08 10:17 pm |
As far as the Giants game, a lot is riding on that. If we don`t win that one, there may be considerable changes here in the organization player coaching staff wise.
For the game itself, we really need to be disciplined, few penalties, no false starts and then we need to stop the run early. We have to stay with the run on O for a while regardless of whether it is working and then mix in timely passes. It is important to put pressure with just the front 4 on their O line. I know their WR`s are doing well, but Plaxico being out is a lift for us as the guy always finds a way to score and then do that annoying bow. The other WR`s are good, but not necessarily any better than ours, so our secondary just has to play well. We can win, but heart will play a huge part in it. |

hey kenny. Like I said earlier . . . 27 years old, 20 straight years as a student. There will be time to finish that degree and look into other fields down the road. Right now . . . I gotta work on paying off some loans, owning my own home and car, things like that. As to working up the ladder, thats about all you get with only a year of experience. Everybody wants a rap sheet with at least 2 years on it, and the ones that dont are gonna save a bit of money hiring me. But we all gotta start somewhere. I write so well cause I was once an English major. Good subject except . . . not much you can do with it outside of journalism and teaching. Not my type of work. Good for promotions, though. thanks for the support. something will turn up. |
| kenemeka@... 12/03/08 10:07 pm |
A lot of good posts today about the Eagles, the draft chat is interesting but I don`t want to get in to all of that at this time because I want to believe the season is still on. I am tempted to talk about Demps, the LB`s as a whole, Clemons and Abiamiri, but that is not the lasting memory I have from the blog today.
I keep coming back to Noodles...we are just names or whatever on a website, so quite impersonal, but it is hard not to project people out from their posts. I am not trying to knock anyone, but Noodles, you don`t write like someone who didn`t finish college, literary wise and ability to reason and analyse. I liked your post on recession and companies hiring in a new year. I am not in the "engineering field", so I don`t know much more than the ave Joe, but you kind of sound like you know what you are talking about and more importantly, you seem passionate about it. You seem/are smart enough to get some good gig. Hang in there, only advise, if I may be so bold is that you don`t necessarily have to work "up the ladder". It may also be prudent to look in to other fields while still holding on to your dreams. My apologies if I have over stepped my bounds, but much love. |

Icon: I realize that the master techs are getting old, and yeah that will work to my advantage. Those turbines, though, dont have breaks, or steering, or suspension. They probably have transmissions, since they run on backup electricity when the wind dies out, or they dont run at all. So, we're looking at machines that need electricians and journeyman technicians with experience diagnosing and troubleshooting enginges or, more likely, generators. Thats why I dont qualify just yet - I'm still at the apprentice level. Gotta put in a couple years busting tires and adjusting clutches, work my way up to the trannies and the engines. I was applying to the Merchant Marines, and if I got a chance to work in the Boiler room, I would have a good shot at the gensets, but unfortunately I'm color deficient, supposedly cant interpret the signal lights. So I gotta climb the ladder a bit. But I'll look in to it. If they're looking for fresh recruits to train a certain way and if the Governemtn can afford to back mass production, then its a developing field with a lot of upside. Kinda like Baskett. |

Noodles, "I know I'm off key," relative Football, at the moment, but not the windmills. Engineers lay out, design, location, quantities and height requirements. The existing personnel, with what you classify as, "Deep resumes," are too old. Do you know, on the East Coast, there are large "Windmill Farms," in NY and Maine and many more that I don't know of. Start tailoring your resume for the future and your future needs. While your starting to re-educate yourself,research and start contacting the companies "now," telling them your interested and asking them what you need to do to further qualify you, for a position. You'd be on the road quite a bit, traveling between sites. (can talk football).At times, you'd be working in a shop, repairing and readying equipment, for installation and out in the field for installation. Beats working in a dingy garage, smelling diesel, exhaust & oil. Give it a shot, while your still "Tech Schooling." |

phanatic: I agree with your picks, but I dont think safety is THE top priority. Not even sure about lineman, and I dont think wr is a top priority no matter how you slice it, unless we get a bargain in FA. Tight End needs to be addressed. So does Center. a tall corner, as you suggested, would be nice. As to running back - I wanna see what Eckel does against the giants before discussing that. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 6:50 pm |
icon: I hear ya and I dont. The turbines are still in the experimental stage, and when they become a major source of energy . . . employers are gonna want engineers and mechanics with hefty resumes. I dont fit that bill yet, but thats why the future is the future. Does sound like fun. The day you see the nuuuudler rocking the big blue is the day Hillary Clinton takes office with Palin as her VP.

OT/OG,CB/S 1st, TE 2nd, get a 3rd for Lito (LOL) and RB, Jack and Demps will be 4th CB and 3rd Safety either or. We keep Runyan. Wonder what we can get for Donovan. Think he stays. Like Ian Johnson from Boise State deep in draft. Need a banger Herrremens moves out to LT, MJG LG, Jackson, Andrews, Runyan backed up by King V, Cole, McGlynn, Draft Pick. Bye to Winny. We lose LJ,Tra, Reggie Brown, Lewis, Schobel Winnie, Feeley, Buckhalter (ouch). On D Dawk, Considine, and Lito. We will lose one DE or maybe 2. Juqua or howard goes. Where is OG? |

Agreed Noodle, that's why I said I hope I'm wrong about him, and much earlier claimed "he IS young though". I don't think You can completely disagree about my top S picks though, have You checked them out? If we don't pick up any experienced FS from FA or trades, I still want Mays, a tall, strong, fast, beast! Otherwise, Ellison being only 6' is very balanced and will be a premiere safety. If none of my top 3 S are available for our 1b or 2 pick, then I would leave safety alone, let Demps continue to improve, and readdress the situation 2010 offseason. If they are available, I don't see why not pick up a future S, with us having two late first round picks, and a relatively early third (2nd round) pick. In order I believe we need OL, WR, power RB, TE improvements. I stand firm that Mays would complete our secondary, leaving LB in the spotlight. Otherwise, we draft two high linemen and a WR. I like Brandon Spikes as a LB pick, but I don't know that it's time to look at that yet. Especialy with Bradley doing well for his first year at MIKE. (Spikes would only be superier at MIKE) |

| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 6:30 pm |
phanatic: not arguing the need for depth, but your knocking demps before you've seen any significant snaps. a couple of tackles against a premiere pass attack, when your a rookie behind a future HOFer, is pretty good. Not like he gets the chance to get comfortable in the scheme or nuthin |
| icontutu 12/03/08 6:20 pm |
Geeze, "Hell of a lot of good posts here today!" I'm going to have to get up earlier, to stay informed, by reading them all. Noodles, Fanatic & Phelanjo, you guys are really cooking. "Sounds like your all on the same team!" I like it! Noodles, "Your going to have to find a job," brother. If you don't, "I'm going to have to get another job so I can buy a new super computer!" The last two days, 400 posts on different threads, wow! My "puter," takes so long to reload, the topics are old by the time I get to them! (Not Serious). Although it's not "Diesel Mechanics" and I've been away from the PA area, too long, to know if there's a real need there, you may want to look into "Windmill Turbines." Sounds like you got the additional electronics knowledge and they're starting to take off. I've seen them and know they're big in NY. Imagine, "Noodles a Giants Fan?" Will be an up and coming thing in the "Obama Administration." Just a thought, guy... Got some "business on my plate," Good Business! Talk with you people tomorrow. "Eagles to the End," Icon. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 6:15 pm |
As Eagles, we need higher and wider WINGspans. Call me lame. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 6:12 pm |
By the way, Mays is 6'3.5". Demps is 5'11" |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 6:10 pm |
And regardless, even if I'm wrong and Demps becomes a superier FS, we still need depth at FS, via draft, trade, or FA. And like I've said over and over, there are two, maybe three Safetys I would take high in the draft, otherwise Demps can fight someone for the spot next preseason. I would like to see Demps continue getting consistant snaps the rest of this season though. I wouldn't mind if I am wrong about him, so long as it makes the draft even easier/ more exciting. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 6:03 pm |
Yeah but I have to look for it, Noodle. I was up late nights researching this stuff. Demps hasn't started, but did take snaps. Also, You don't remember when Dawk got tinged earlier in the season for a brief period, and Demps took the snaps until his return? |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 6:02 pm |
Brizer, Kenny is 6'4" or 6'3". 6'4" if I remember correctly, and could be available at pick 40. I really do like Harvin, but You're right about him not being outright tall. He has ups, runs hard, and is close to as quick as Peanut though. |
| PhelanJo@... 12/03/08 6:00 pm |
Thanks nuuuudlz. Its hard to figure this team out. Darrly Johnston said consistency. And rank 4th in the league in passing. This is my prayer to Donny " I can all things in him who strengthens me " Phil 4:13 |
| brizer9@... 12/03/08 6:00 pm |
How refreshing!!,..no soapbox sermons or shopping mall exploits over my watch...evening gentlemen,.keep the faith,...we shall overcome..."ooops,..there goes my loafers!" |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:52 pm |
jo: Donny is 3rd, behind Drew Brees and Jay Cutler, in plays over 20 yds. and plays over 40 yds. Thats not factoring in the running game, of course, but we probably hover around top 5. pretty good, in my book. check NFl.com if you dont believe me. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:45 pm |
the hard-hitting safety is dying out in the league. Theres so many damn rules that make hard hits impossible to make nowadays. Coaches actually prefer cover safeties. But we did wiff on Kenny Phillips. Then again . . . Laws is getting better and we did land Peanut. And Demps is killing it on ST. Seriously . . . your off the deep end. And Demps is not CREDITED with any defensive snaps outside of Arizona, that I've seen. You got a source to back you up? |
| brizer9@... 12/03/08 5:42 pm |
fanny,..we're looking to diversify,..don't need another smurf..macklin and bey,..at this early stage,.just wish they were bigger,.they do seem strong. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 5:39 pm |
Although getting only limited snaps all season, minus @CIN, @BAL, and ARI he gathered 8 tackles, 7 solo this season. Nothing for sack, tackles for loss, bats, or INT. |
| PhelanJo@... 12/03/08 5:35 pm |
no TO is not the same guy he was in 2005.does anyone know where we rank with 20 + yards per catch in the NFL. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 5:35 pm |
He had snaps in every game.. not many, but he did. When Dawk was tweaked earlier in the season, Demps came in. Also for breathers, Demps has had time, and didn't have any breath-taking performances. Solid against the Cardinals? He had what, 3 tackles or so? No bat or INTs all season. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:33 pm |
phanatic: Demps had a solid game against Arizona, and that is the only game he had any defensive snaps in. Where are you getting your analysis? |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:32 pm |
jo: the cockroaches are tough to keep below 21 points, but if we keep them under 18, we can start talking superbowl, because they got some weapons, even without Burress. Would like to see A.P. crumble under the outside distractions . . . I hate him. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 5:32 pm |
When I say S needs to be in our high draft attack, I'm talking if Mays, Ellison, maybe Moore if he shows promise at scouting combines. Otherwise, I agree that this year might not be the time to draft high safeties. I just really believe that both saftey positions should be held by heavy hitters. Otherwise, we just have an extra CB out there with Demps. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:30 pm |
so it turns out T.O. actually had 14 touchdowns in 04. But only one against a defense that matches up to the better ones we've seen this year . . . baltimore. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:26 pm |
as to recievers: this is the best group we've had under reid. Can any of you provide actual facts supporting the inadequacy of this group? Remember . . . the FO was pushing for Reggie Brown to get a starter's load, and Curtis has been INJURED. If Baskett and Avant were allowed to remain in the starting rotations, their numbers would be much higher. How do I know? Because baskett leads our entire team in big catches and Avant has the best hands that Reid has ever seen. T.O. had the dropsies. Avant definitely doesnt. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 5:26 pm |
Black Elephant - Mikell is amazing, I like him, but Demps isn't exactly showing promise. I think Demps will end up being the "good" backup. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 5:24 pm |
Then You agree to my picks Brizer? Besides You not liking Harvin, in which what high round WR do You like more? Darrius? Kenny? Any of my picks, or do You have Your own (besides Crabtree, who would be my top pick also, but doubt he'll be around without devastating trades)? |
| PhelanJo@... 12/03/08 5:24 pm |

| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:23 pm |
I coulda sworn it was 12, but if I'm wrong then I apologize in advance to operafan. lookin forward to that list, billy. later. |
| PhelanJo@... 12/03/08 5:22 pm |
nuuuudlz I agree I checked nfl.com not to debate it was 14 in 2004. Being that Spags no us so well I hope we can get creative. When we hold opponents under 18 points we were like 54-6 under Jim Johnsons tenure that may have changed I hope we can keep them under that magic number |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:21 pm |
damn phanatic . . . sounds like a big mean beauty. Sorry about the crash. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:20 pm |
jo: The weather forcast for Sunday is ugly. 40% chance of snow. No long fieldgoals. Toomer doesnt play so well against Sheldon, but if he lines up in the slot, Hanson needs to really show up. I hate seeing Toomer catch back to back 1st downs. |
| brizer9@... 12/03/08 5:19 pm |
KING/CRAB,..2009...or reasonable facsimile thereof,..and be thankful,..the TEs,RB, and Safety will follow...don't forget we have winston justice for trade bait! |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:18 pm |
billy: Andrews has been dealing with his weight issues for too long, and its affecting his head and his back. When he moves to tackle, he'll be able to slim down a bit. If that dont fix him up . . . then we're in the hole again. |
| BlackElephant 12/03/08 5:17 pm |
If we need taller corners, we should look at Shaun (maybe sean, can't remember) Smith of Utah. He's tall, has hands and is a great corner all around. I doubt he'd go too high in the rounds but would be an excellent 3rd or 4th round pick. And yes, the receivers need to be addressed. I also saw someone said we need to improve the safeties. are you kidding? Quintin Mikel is freakin pro bowl material, Dawkins is still as good as ever, Demps shows promise. We might need another back up but i think that it's all set there. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:15 pm |
jo: your akers story doesnt surprise me at all. Giants would do anything to throw off our good players, and Akers was one of them until recently. I dont like him kicking anything over 35 yds in the Meadowlands. As to stretching the defense . . . thats where a 4wr lineup comes in. Desean and Baskett are pretty good at big plays, and there oughtta be some running lanes for Westbrook without the linebackers crowding the line. Spreading the defense is all and well . . . but we gotta have that power game goin, too. If Kleck and chief-excel can move the pile a bit, Mcnabb wont have to worry about Fred Robbins. Thats a big load off of Mcnabb. |
| southphillyben 12/03/08 5:15 pm |
Nuuuuudlz,I'll agrue my point later ,gotta go for now,have a list for U tomorrow,and TOO ,did have 14,remeber AR said"I'll wear tights if Too get's 15 ?Fell 1 short.... |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 5:13 pm |
Benjy - If we waste another high draft for a DT this season, I'll cry myself to sleep in April. OG, WR/S, OT/S! |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:10 pm |
but it was 6-10, your right. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 5:10 pm |
operogost: profootballtalk.com is half-assed. Go to nfl.com and show me 14 touchdowns, dope. |
| southphillyben 12/03/08 5:09 pm |
Look I just want to see us draft,1 bigger Dlinemen,2 top flight Wr,3 taller cb's,ect..oh and we wiffed on phillips also(kenny)!!!The team I would put togather may not be the so called best but they would be the baddest!!!Its still football!!!Smackmouth style!!!! |

billy: WHich one of our current diamonds is keeping us outta the playoffs, pray tell? |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 5:06 pm |
That's not fair on Andrews. I was diagnosed with depression two years ago. It's not as easy as people think, dealing with it. He came around though, but the disk isn't his fault either. I believe he'll be back next season, and playing permanently 80% or better. Him at 80% is many OGs 110%. |
| PhelanJo@... 12/03/08 5:04 pm |
Jerome the wind is nasty their to. We have to stop A. Toomer I don't know how many TD's he has against us but he always find away to make big catches against us. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 5:03 pm |

| southphillyben 12/03/08 5:02 pm |

| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 5:02 pm |
About the MH-53s being powerful; Yeah, last I checked, they are the only US A/C that can lift it's own weight without needing to slim down. They weighed over 36,000 unmanned, ungunned, so forth so on. I watched one down in 05/06'. Was a sad sight, no survivers. Not even a quarter mile away from the launch, I wasn't launching it, I was on another Heli. Tough machine, but too heavy. |
| brizer9@... 12/03/08 5:01 pm |

| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 4:59 pm |
Alright, I agree on Gresham then. Smith can even block well, according to Reid. Don't need another quick TE, unless they can catch in traffic. But I'm 90% sure it was Gresham I'm thinking about that made some nice catches. Besides that, our O line, recieving core, RB, S, and if possible, LB need improvement. LB being the lesser of the critical needs.. but I'm not 100% on any of the three LB positions. |
| southphillyben 12/03/08 4:59 pm |

nuuuudtz- thanks and I make a peace offering. I hope someone can stretch out the Giants defense. How is the weather going to be Sunday. Ackers has claimed they turn fans on and blow air out of the tunnels when he has kicked their. He has struggled their. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 4:55 pm |

| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 4:42 pm |
Bunk is doing a hell of a job on short yardage. problem is . . . Patty struggles with the short yardage. I want to see Bunk and Laws lined up for short downs. Maybe patt and Howard at defensive end? HEAVY PACKAGE. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 4:40 pm |
I figured they were inline. As I said, I work on trucks. Those pressure-timed units are a god-send. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 4:39 pm |
phanatic: last I checked, there was plenty of females enlisting. Granted . . . they get the same amount of hygene time the guys get. But if a lil phunk isnt a complete turnoff, then life on ship is my pick. And theres always the foreign harems. |
| southphillyben 12/03/08 4:39 pm |
Ya that gresham dude on CSI is cool,what ever happened to KING/CRAB???? |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 4:37 pm |
But I have seen Gresham standin within 20 feet of me. He's AT LEAST 6'5'' and solid... and I do mean solid... 260. Maybe more. And he can run. I'd guess 4.7ish. Maybe even faster. But his knock is his hands. Last year he dropped 3 WIDE OPEN passes in 1 game. Nobody close to him. Chest high... on the hands. |
| PhelanJo@... 12/03/08 4:36 pm |
Hey Jerome don't forget the 14 TDs TO had that year out McNabbs 31 TD. All time Eagles record. I just wish they could get a good reciever for McNabb. How many 30 plus yard passes have we had this year. Where do we rank after 20 yards per catch. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 4:35 pm |
Fanny))) Gresham is a blocker 1st and foremost. I read a Stoops quote sayin he blocks as well as their Oline. Which is the best in the country. But I watch every single OU game more than once. Gresham drops passes in traffic and all alone. Not different from LJ. |
| southphillyben 12/03/08 4:35 pm |
I would like to see our FO sign or draft someone we've all heard of instead of all the long shots were used too... |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 4:35 pm |
Agreed Brizer. I don't see us pulling him in, because my predictions are 25th,26th,40th(39th rounded up), and 90th picks. I'm still open to critisicm, and I'll continue my own scouting, but I'm set with my picks for now. |
| brizer9@... 12/03/08 4:34 pm |
It's been stated b4 by others,.but his use of italics borders on the ridiculous..no doubt he suffers from several maladies ,..poor geezer. |

Philly fan,it was a joke,like"sailors are the marines bellhops"ect,much respect to all who serve!!! |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 4:30 pm |
I don't see that though, I looked through at least 6 of his games this season, and saw only positive plays catching. Are the "iffy" drops in traffic, or easily catchable, because I've seen him make some nice "too high" catches. |
| brizer9@... 12/03/08 4:30 pm |
yea,..fanny,.i was watching that texas tech disaster when the boys brought it up on the tube,.i reckon it sounded familiar,..but he is a stud...may guess by 50 |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 4:30 pm |
3D))) That AS number is against The Cap. Thats 10.5(per year) that Nuuudler said plus the average per year of his sign bonus. |
| southphillyben 12/03/08 4:28 pm |
Make up your mind JB,I'm get'in confused? |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 4:28 pm |
In fact... Gresham has LJ hands. Yeesh! |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 4:28 pm |
Thanks, I wasn't trying to pull in any kind of admiration though, I dont deserve it anymore than the next solider or sailor. I just didn't find the opinion You expressed about the Navy valid. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 4:27 pm |
Gresham has 'iffy' hands. Thats his knock. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 4:23 pm |
Also.... let it be known. The girls scratchin your window at night are not the ones you wanna marry. Just so some Idiot doesn't read this and makes that mistake. No... they are for fun. 1 hour everyday. Thats all. === I lived with 3 girls for a while in high school. When some guy talked mean to them... they would come home and sit on the sofa with a frown... and think about that guy all nigyt long. 1st thing they would do is head over there in the morning to take some more insults. === Girls are easy to figure out. I can spot the insulters and the good girls from a mile away. But don't let the good girls fool you. Sometimes they are the best. And by best I mean worst. |

Phillyeaglesfanatic,as a former soldier I salute you!!! |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 4:22 pm |
Haven't heard that yet, Brizer. From clips I've seen this year he has made some amazing plays after the catch, and showed the ability to catch in traffic. Haven't caught his blocking skills yet though, anyone have an update on them? If we can pull him in with the 90th pick, I say we do it. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 4:20 pm |

That icon feller is on one. He likes to bash the non family types on here. He's claimin we should be nice to Deb? She's 19. Living in Austin with the revolving 20,000 20 year olds girls here.... didn't take me long to figure out if I opened the door for them and asked them what they wanted... they would go home and make fun of me with their pals. But if I tell them how it is... and do 100% exactly opposite of what they want... and step on their face... and kick them out when the game comes on... they are scratchin at my windows at night... and when they give up and leave... here come their friends. Chivalry is dead. |
| brizer9@... 12/03/08 4:18 pm |
From what i hear,..Gresham has the dropsies,...anyone confirm or deny?..don't need dat! |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 4:17 pm |

I havent had the pleasure of workin on trans ams yet. The transmissions I've worked on are 700 lb MONSTERS. Old fashioned gearboxes too, most of them. I look forward to troubleshooting Allisons and lots of clutch work. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 4:14 pm |
By the way, I was an AT(aviation technician). Wasn't a mechanic by rate. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 4:14 pm |
Not sure about most, but ours were inline. I only worked with the AM and ADs when they were low (Holiday leave, missions) but each of the 3 engines ran around 9000 horses each. Can't really explain too much though on here. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 4:11 pm |
Watch it Nuuudler. Don't get me started on Kimo. === Speakin of Kimo. Bunkley tears that C up every time on short yards. HE murders that guy. Lets just say.... Kimo was a bad idea on my part. But.... as bad as my Kimo idea was... I jumped for joy when we signed Klecko to play FB. |
| southphillyben 12/03/08 4:10 pm |

| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 4:08 pm |
sounds like fun, phanatic. Electrical isnt all that complicated if you keep up with the joneses. What type of pumps do most choppers use? Inline? Distributor? |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 4:06 pm |
I wasn't makin fun of Nuuuuudler. I wouldn't mind knowin more about that myself. I had trouble pullin the tranny out of a Trans Am I bought. I'll bet Nuuudler could do that with a snap of his fingers. Took me 2 days. === And I don't know about the N... the A... or the Cin. But I know 'Tron' is a sweet a** movie. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 4:06 pm |
I agree on Klecko. I was sketchy at first, but always figured a D lineman ought to know what to do, to stop D linemen. He's progressing EVERY game, and should remain as our starting FB unless fought out next preseason. |

phanatic: Your forgetting one thing about Demps . . . he was among the best of the draft class at stripping the ball. Tackling was a bit sloppy, but he has a knack for putting his hands where he can rip the ball out. Hard knocks aint the only way to force turnovers. |

MH-53s are what I worked on. Monsters of the air, designed back in the Vietnam days. Leaks oil and Hyd fluid like no other A/C. Tough stubborn beasts, but relatively easy to work on electronicaly compared to newer Heli. Mechanicaly, they're nightmares. |

A tale of two sites referencing Klecko's salary for 2008. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/philadelphia-eagles/salary and http://www.sportscity.com/NFL/Philadelphia-Eagles-Salaries. I tend to believe the 2nd one is closer to accurate. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 4:02 pm |
phanatic: Connie is a st leader, so he's staying at least another year. But your right, we do need some depth there. I dont know if we need premium depth but . . . I wont complain if we get it. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 4:00 pm |
JB; I hear ya. Rough year for the pencil pushers, I love seeing them squirm. Unless their eagle fans, of course. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 4:00 pm |
Our FO is fantastic if we stole Klecko for 10 and half a year. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 4:00 pm |
Good point on the Tiger defense as a whole. JJ can make any secondary player better. I hope they keep paying JJ right, he's a top payed DC as is, and can learn to use any player to his advantage. I just can't seem to get over Mays hitting though. We need someone like that in our secondary. I know Mikell and Brown can hit, and I know that scares recievers out of catchable balls. Imagine Mays being out there also. Our secondary would be the most feared in the NFL for years. I still take Ellison over Moore. Ellison looks like he can improve and improve untill his dying day. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 3:59 pm |
phanatic: The Navy is the best deal in the country, right now. Good paycheck, lotsa traveling, and least likely branch of the military to put you directly in the line of fire. I wish I could be out there. You got experience working on anything besides choppers? If so, how does it compare? |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 3:59 pm |
Chris Kiffin.... Montes son and Lanes brother is an intern coach at Nebraska. I'll bet he makes it to Tennessee with his dad and bro. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 3:58 pm |
nacitron: My personal life is open for discussion. I got nothin to hide, nothing to back down from. I appreciate your intentions, though. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 3:55 pm |
phanatic: you obviously dont know me. I've been a Klecko fan since he got here. When all the other dopes werent giving him an outside shot to make the team, I was backing him. When the "experts" had Kimo getting in over Kleck, I was backing my boy. He's doin good as a fullback. Needs to work on his stretch blocking a bit, but he's coming along nice. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 3:55 pm |
Walter Football.com doesn't have Gresham going in the 1st 3 rounds. Not sure I agree with that. He'll be right there with Pettigrew imo. Both possible 1st rounders. |
| brizer9@... 12/03/08 3:55 pm |
JB,,I forget,..is this your week to change Icon's Depends or mine?...I know next week you gots the Fleet of enema duty,....that guy's a miracle,.just like Del Griffith...still upset he's not in the oligarchy!.....anyway,.Harvin doesn't have the pizzazz of peanut..why would anyone want him on this team?...,..is anyone more misquoted than the gatekeeper?...and she still doesn't get it..woodshed time agin. |
| nacintron@... 12/03/08 3:54 pm |
Very good point Nuuudlz! I never looked at it that way. |
| chrisejlewis@... 12/03/08 3:54 pm |
...yeah, I didn't get the DC area reference at all. Damn Canuck! |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 3:54 pm |
Fanny))) Yeah. Somethin wrong with Moore. He's always off. Don't know much about their scheme other than it doesn't work. But he is late.... like every other Mizzou Tiger. One thing is for sure... he brings the wood when he does finally make it. There is certainly somethin to work with. And he might be a perfect fit for our D at FS.... with some solid coaching. === And Demps is a hawk. But not sure I like him either. Good player though. |
| chrisejlewis@... 12/03/08 3:53 pm |
A little late on the compliment, Nudlz but I'll take it! ;o) |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 3:52 pm |
Oh, adding on to that, if we release Considine as I wish to do, nobody backs Mikell either. Drafting a future prospect S isn't a terrible idea. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 3:51 pm |
The T.O. season was a fluke, losers. How do I know? Because in 05, we were 5-11, with T.O. playing the first half of the season. He got locked down by Deangelo Hall in the season opener, just months after Mcnabb and Westbrook torched the Falcons secondary. We went to the superbowl on a soft schedule. Disagree all you want . . . but show me the tough games that T.O. pulled us through. The Baltimore game is the only one that comes to mind, and Baltimore didnt have an offense that year. That same year, the steelers pitched a shutout against our T.O. offense. The whole season was a fluke. |
| nacintron@... 12/03/08 3:51 pm |
PhillyEaglesFanatic! Ask your lady what N.A.Cintron is? She loves to call out my name. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 3:46 pm |
Fanny))) Sounds decent. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 3:46 pm |
Who is making fun of him? Nobody is, because nobody knows him. Calm down Nacintron. Sounds like a medication.. or weight loss drug. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 3:46 pm |
"jerome mcNabb had his best year with TO 31 TD and 8 picks and secures homefield throughout the playoffs your the idiot fool. get your facts straight" . . . awwwwww, did someone learn how to google? You just made me so proud, phellajio. Who says you cant teach a lame dog new tricks? |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 3:44 pm |
Demps could potentialy become our FS, he is young after all, but regardless we need more depth at S. Dawk might be gone this offseason, with nobody backing Demps. |
| nacintron@... 12/03/08 3:43 pm |
Why is everyone makin' fun of Nuuudlz's personal life? Ya'll better be careful what you say about other people cause some bad s#!t can happen to any us here. What goes around, sho nuff comes around. Can we talk football or not? What the F are we doin' here! |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 3:41 pm |
I hear You on the employment. I hope pres-select gets things rolling within two years. Alot of crazy talk about riots and possibly civil-war style lockdown if things continue the downwards path. I'm thinking about re-enlisting in the Navy, going back to working on Helicopters 12 hours a day, if things don't improve here. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 3:41 pm |
JB: talkin USC is the ultimate crapshoot. Bad track record at the NFL level. And whats wrong with Demps? He looked pretty solid against Arizona. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 3:40 pm |
Who you got? De La Hoya or Pacquiao? |

My buddy just brought over a GREAT film. Terry Gilliam's(of Monty Python fame) 'Time Bandits.' Remember the time traveling midgets that rob Napolean, Robin Hood and King Agamemnon? Fantastic! |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 3:36 pm |
JB: lol I dont recall being annointed for anything. But I do take endoresments, hoss. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 3:36 pm |
That's probably what he meant Noodle, You still don't like Klecko eh? |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 3:35 pm |
easy phanatic. I just got outta school. Economy sucks. Jobs arent gonna fall outta the sky. Nothin to be sad about, just the way the market is right now. I got a good place to stay for the time being, so I cant complain. hope things are well with you. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 3:33 pm |
tripleD: Are you sure Klick-Kleck is getting 10.5 mill THIS YEAR? Thats more than Asante makes, and he was our big FA accquisition. Sounds more like his 3 or 4 year contract total? |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 3:32 pm |
PhebieJo))) Nice stats. How about this one. Per Smarty... #5 needs to average 220 a game to pass for more yards than he ever has. You wouldn't think he could do that without Your Boy... TOld.... and a group od crappy WR's. Is #5 that great? |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 3:31 pm |
And while I know that many times late rounders run the NFL (Look at our depth chart, after all), in more cases 1st rounders perform well. Especialy OLmen. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 3:31 pm |
nacitron: its kind of a routine thing here, probably because we're not the best team in the league . . . you know how philly is. But I got your back too. |
| birdcrazy 12/03/08 3:31 pm |
nasty weather is a definite possibility Sun...don't know who that might favor more...our defense or them cause they got a bonafide ground pounder..either way, I preach again, we need to sucessfully run the ball..eat up time...could be a nail biter where a FG wins the day..gonna be a typical Eagle - Giant match up..lots of hard hitting and ugly feelings.. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 3:30 pm |
wow phaggo, you really are outta touch. Thats okay - I'm here specifically to deal with deadweight, social security slobs like you, so I will explain to you how the working world works. In the automotive industry and especially the truck branch of automotive, companies use this thing called a contract whenever they hire new employees. A contract is a piece of paper with an agreement, honored by our judicial system, outlining the terms of employment the Employer and employee must abide by. These contracts are designed to begin at particular junctures in the working year. I got out of school very recently, and the working year is coming to an end, because the year itself is coming to an end. Most employers are waiting until the beginning of the new year to offer contracts to prospective employees. So, currently, the job market is slim. The country is also in a major recession. You know what a recession is, right? Remember when your mommy didnt have enough milk in her udders to breastfeed you "because of the recession"? |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 3:27 pm |
Icon, these predictions are based on a 25th minimum pick. In other words, they're based on us winning out. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 3:27 pm |
Talkin beast players from Va Beach. You can add in Kevin Newsome. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 3:26 pm |
I'm going with either Ciron or Duke, so that we can pick up Harvin, Mays, Ellison, Gresham, or basicaly any of the other S, WR, or RBs can be available to us. If we manage to pick up an experienced reciever / TE during FA or early trades, I would love to get back Ciron and Robinson, and hope for Andre Brown or Kevin Ellison from the draft. But check this, and ponder on it a moment. 25th - Duke Robinson, 26th- Mays or Harvin. 40th - Ellison(if no Mays) Kenny Britt (if no Harvin, he's 6'4" and great hands!) or Phil Loadholt(Runyan look, and played alongside Duke Robinson!! Imagine, they got used to each other in college, and then could continue working with each other in the NFL!) |
| nacintron@... 12/03/08 3:26 pm |
icruz! I feel you dawg, but a lot of fans still dwell on that s#!t. As Eagle fans, we gotta F'n move on cause those days are over. |
| icontutu 12/03/08 3:24 pm |
Finally, "I don't want to start thinking that way," drafts choices, replacements etc, until after the results of "Sunday's Game." We must all "pool together," for a win... "Thoughts Have Wings." I said enough for one day, see yah later. Eagles to the End," Icon... |
| icruz 12/03/08 3:23 pm |
you know what i think the draft is over rated some of the best players are drafted out of the LATE rounds. Like Colston,Brady |
| dbm517@... 12/03/08 3:22 pm |
gotta admit...when TO was here, we certainly had something to cheer for. we were like the giants...when burress is out, they still win. well, when TO broke his leg, we still got to the SB. sure, he played in that game and we still lost. i think he was more mad he couldnt go down in history as the fallen hero. we still lost...but i honestly do believe if he was healthy, we would have won. the man has talent...and our receiving corps is definitely good enough to win. at the same time, they aren't electrifying and you have to wait it out for them to make big plays. with TO, you KNEW they were coming at some point. so yes...having that go-to guy is always great. and the reasons teams are still successful when that guy might be out a few games is because they rally together and want to prove they can win it as a team. i think mcnabb was humbled when benched. and now, i hope that history will repeat itself this year and for everyone that counted us out, WHAT EV!!! but im off, bye guys! |
| icontutu 12/03/08 3:20 pm |
"PE,Fanatic." Looked up Harvin and admit, statistically, he looks good. 5' 11" 178lbs, with a previous and nagging ankle injury. I'll reserve comment and other considerations. We know all about these type of guys and physiological structure, but are we to go into, too many, seasons wondering if they'll be rehabilitated and available? |
| icruz 12/03/08 3:20 pm |
nacintron you read it wrong. I said we won with him that year and without him. IE he was a big part of the O and made it easier for other receivers to make plays but he didnt win all our games for us. |
| nacintron@... 12/03/08 3:20 pm |
PhelanJo! Since your on Owens sack, just be Cowboys fan. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 3:18 pm |
By the way, CONGRATS to Don!!! Twin boy and girl! |
| nacintron@... 12/03/08 3:17 pm |
Come on icruz! Will everyone stop cryin' about F'n Terrell Owens. He's F'n gone and is not comin' back. What has he done in Dallas? He hasn't F'n done squat. It seems like every day someone on this site is cryin' about what it was like when Owens was here. Does anyone here squat when they pee? I hope not. Advice for everyone, GET OVER IT. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 3:16 pm |
Fanny))) Ciron Black and Robinson are certainly guys that we could take. And we want both of them. === A couple of late round RB's we might take a look at. Mike Gooodson of aNm. And Marln Lucky of Nebraska. Lucky... makes me sick cause he's soft... but so is #36. But Lucky catches the ball out of the backfield like a WR. He's better than Brandon Jackson of the Packers. Same school, same O. === TE's? Dennis Pitta of the Y is a Chad Lewis clone. And Darius Hill of Ball St. And the guy from Wisconsin is a stud. |
| PhelanJo@... 12/03/08 3:12 pm |
jerome mcNabb had his best year with TO 31 TD and 8 picks and secures homefield throughout the playoffs your the idiot fool. get your facts straight. |
| icruz 12/03/08 3:10 pm |
that season we had Owens we were winning all season long. When he was out and when he was in. |

Thank Jesus, Satan, Allah, Elvis, Ricky Williams or whomever you worship.... you didn't end up being a Fa99ot pencil pusher. I HATE talkin football with pencil pushers. It's like talkin cabbage patch kids with Hells Angles. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 3:09 pm |
JB, TO still hurting performed better than the other recievers in the SB. I have us losing to the Bucs in the playoffs.. simply because of an average recieving core, and injuries to our O line(can't afford another, Mcglynn will be good, but not thrown in for his first performance in postseason). Peanut eyes the ball too early, but will become better next season. |
| dbm517@... 12/03/08 3:08 pm |
alright then delete this one right now. |
| nacintron@... 12/03/08 3:08 pm |
JeromeBrown! You took the words out of my mouth. Finally, someone who recognizes what I've been sayin' for a long time. When Owens came back, we lost. When he was out, we were winning. |
| J.in.VA.3@... 12/03/08 3:04 pm |
Harvin's def a stud and hopefully he'll be able to play on sat for florida so i can watch him...and hes a junior so hes def eligible to come out |
| greg1954 12/03/08 3:03 pm |
Dave is a typical company man....Put the spot light on the players...Well Dave to me its the Eagles coaches/coaching that has to step up in this game! Last game we lost to a everybody knew we were going right play (4th&1). Lets see if Reid/Morning/Johnson. Can mix up the Giants with something new. Yeah we know each other. But can't they scheme personnel packages offensively & defensively differently. If this team has depth in off/def let use it. The spotlight should be on how Reid/Morning/Johnson to getting this team in right direction. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 3:03 pm |
PhelanJo))) I don't know how many times we go over this. And I didn't want to jump in and back my boy Nuuuudler. But you still spew the same nonsense you did way back when. === We DID NOT go tho the SB with TOld. We had a decent season with him in an underaverage division. But we when to the SB WITHOUT him. Lost with him. === Comtinue on spewing.... but don't lie. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 3:02 pm |
JB - I agree 100% about William Moore. He's good, but always late to the point of attack for some reason. Maybe it's all in his mind, because someone as athletic as him shouldn't get beaten as often. Mays IS a monster, hits harder than Dawk. I'll be surprised if he's around next year, but I don't think Demps is our man at FS. Fast, sure, good at ST, sure. But he's played for a few snaps in most games this season, if not all, and only accumilated limited tackles, no INT, no bat downs. Mays could be our future, but I don't exactly know that he'll still be available. Ellison might be the more realist choice. |
| nacintron@... 12/03/08 3:02 pm |
PhelanJo! Slow down dawg on the top notch receiver/superbowl thing. As I recall, we got there w/o Owens and when he came back, WE LOST THE GAME. Don't get me wrong, I want a star receiver along side of DeSean and Kevin. |
| dbm517@... 12/03/08 3:00 pm |
LANDSTOWN!!! thats where percy harvin is from. I HEARD HE WAS A BEAST BACK WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL!! theyre the ones that beat us the year before we won. heartbreaker...they were amazing. i kept hearin about a percy guy and THAT WAS HIM!!! my goodness YOURE GOOD. if we could get him...that would be great. hes got a couple of more years before his draft time but will only get better. superb call man i cant believe you knew about him!!! |

| J.in.VA.3@... 12/03/08 2:59 pm |
PEF) im def not gonna disagree with u bout VA beach...that whole area just puts out stud players and they have for a while, thats a big reason VT is a good college program cuz they get a lot of those players(vick and tyrod taylor...who will prob be a stud in a year or two) and there's def a lot more that i cant think of off the top of my head |
| dbm517@... 12/03/08 2:59 pm |
omg i know!!! we got knocked out the playoffs. they beat chantilly and i was like YESSS!!! but then we lost...i think it was a home game too -_- so sad but osbourn might win it AGAIN this year?? |
| thefirelion 12/03/08 2:58 pm |
If we win out and get in, however it happens, it's all good. I'm thankful to still be in the running with 4 games to go, and hoping to remain thankful after sunday. (Although the sooner dallas and atlanta acrue 2 more losses and washington 1 more the happier I'll be. If it happens before we face dallas or washington, so be it.) |
| dbm517@... 12/03/08 2:57 pm |
okay phelan i understand your frustration, as nudlz used to pick apart my comments on the daily. but in all honesty, you just gotta learn to leave all the negativity alone. dont you know negative energy transfers from one person to the next? if someone tries to belittle you, just laugh and walk away - be the bigger person and see who feels like the small idiot. we just need to all get along, you know what im sayin buddy? now with nudlz, he knows his facts, and sometimes his comments arent exactly the nicest when he feels someone wrote something that isnt right/he doesnt agree with. but lets have fun happy debates, not personal attacks. i agree...my entire family says so too: when we had TO, we went to the SB. had everyone stayed healthy and happy, we would have went again. would we have won? who knows...but i just hope mcnabb gets one more year with possibly chad johnson on the team...forget about lewis. i dont want to trade reggie though...people in philly seem to always forget what great things a guys done as soon as he has some bad times. me included...but ive since remedied myself lol |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 2:56 pm |
By the way, he's listed as a RB and as a WR on some scouting sites. |

| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 2:55 pm |
Hey J in VA and Kira, Percy Harvin.. my top WR pick for the draft, came out of VA Beach. Check him out if You please, he's possibly more amazing than Peanut. |
| J.in.VA.3@... 12/03/08 2:55 pm |
ohh oakton def has a good program, they were ranked 50 in the nation last week till they lost to #6 oscar smith who my ol hs osbourn plays this week for the ship, if oakton would have won it wouldve been on OHS vs OHS final. but my boys wouldve taken that one. |
| JeromeBrown99 12/03/08 2:54 pm |
Fanny))) Lemme talk some USC S wif ya. I'll admit... I don't see that many USC games. I TiVo and burn them. For later use. But I'm a Big12 guy. And then watch the big games. And SC rarely has big games. === Mays is a Freak. We know he's gonna run something crazy at the combine. Something around 4.42 is my guess. Maybe faster. But I just can't see a 6'4'' 230 pound S stayin with Peanut. Not sayin he can't. Just sayin I wouldn't think he could. But I just don't know. I do like Ellison. ==== And our S/draft problem is.... there are SS's all over the place. But FS are thin. And a crap shoot after Mays and Moore. I like Derek Pegues alot. But he's the same as Demps to me. === obtw... Seen Will Moore plenty. Saw him live here in Austin. Fantastic athlete. Big hitter. But he gets beat every game. Not sure about him either. |
| dbm517@... 12/03/08 2:54 pm |
of course i remember dear...i was just being ridiculous. oakton was the one that won the big one when i was there...three years ago. and if youre 21...osbourn won it probably a couple of years after you left. |
| PhillyEaglesFanatic@... 12/03/08 2:53 pm |
Icon, I hope so brother. I hope they scout my draft picks! |
| dbm517@... 12/03/08 2:52 pm |
ooo wait whos the guy that said he coached a team that won states two years ago? i remmeber osbourn won two years ago, and we won the year before them. i think i messed up the names, but yeah j in va that was my team and we were SOOO good and finally won it that year. whos the 21 year old that the kids can relate to? lol too lazy to scroll down and find it. |
| icontutu 12/03/08 2:51 pm |
Remember, we argue and debate, "That's ok," but this site goes all over the "Globe." People don't like to be offended and then choose the Eagles for a team. "Evidently," some one narrowed the, "parameters," relative this site... We all like points of familiarization. Guess the safest thing to do is stick to "Football." Again, "Just my opinon." Sometimes when arguing outside these auspices, I feel I have an unlimited amount of "duly qualified researchers," at my disposal, allowing me to make my own assessments, based on the quality of the research. "Team Eagles." That's why, "I for one," Take the time to read everyone's posts. You really don't think,the "Eagles administration," isn't doing the same thing? Including "Spud's." They'd be fools, not too! |
| PhelanJo@... 12/03/08 2:50 pm |
dbm-he started on Saturday your right I wish him the best. I have been a fan since 1970. We all have our opinions. But nuuuudz thinks he know everything. Our recievers are not that good. When we had a top notch reciever we went to the SB. |
| J.in.VA.3@... 12/03/08 2:50 pm |
dbm )Osbourn? thats a very ironic question to icruz, since thats where i went in VA, and icruz said he coached in MA...and i dont know the last 4 teams to win the VA ship. theres also diff divisions in VA based on ur school size. u dont remember wat hs u went to? |

Deb)) )The Gatekeeper and I run this site along with the rest of the old timers.... and you know who you are... because long ago when the earth was young... and only the wind and trees knew our names. We were chosen. And.... thus we annointed Nuuuudler to come in and bash the brains out of nonsense posters. Makes sense huh? |

icruz you coach for osbourn?!?! |
| icruz 12/03/08 2:44 pm |
J in VA this is only my second year. The kids relate well with me because im only 21. The coach when i was working is still the coach. And he asked me to be the LB and TE coach because those are the postions i us to play. I played them pretty good. Never a pass catching TE though. We were a RUN,RUN,RUN team when i played. but now they are so balanced its nuts. We have a receiver that can catch anything. |

And about that drafting, it depending on who we trade for and pick up in FA, and our standings by postseason. These are predictions based on rounded minimum picks. CAR #1(25th)+ PHI #1(26th)- G Duke Robinson(amazing run blocking & above average PB), S Taylor Mays(MONSTER hitter), and/or WR Percy Harvin(DeSean Jackson type). PHI #2(40th) WR Kenny Britt(6'4"), RB LeSean Mcoy(Westbrook clone), or RB Andre Brown(MONSTER runner). ------- Other names for curious Eagle draft fans are, OT Ciron Black(Thomas type), WR Darrius Heyward-bey(Fast, good hands), TE Jermaine Gresham(fast, good hands, strong), LB Brandon Spikes(Hard hitting monster at MIKE), S Kevin Ellison(well rounded), and OT Phil Loadholt(Runyan type) |

OOOOO okay thanks icon. well bozo says that i compromise the integrity of the site by my random stories every now and then. its not different than mr. brown talkin about how he went to a strip club and got it on with one of the dancers in the parking lot afterwards for his birthday along with random news from his neck of the woods. |

Chris Jewels) Appreciate the response Chris. I was in Canada last year and no problem with a "driving license," getting in. US authorities, are a "real pain in the As-," coming back!
"Kira," believe me, JB and Bri, are not "WeB Masters." JB gave Bri that name. Why, cause they want to rule and control the site! Haven't you noticed, "Bri defends and concurs with, mostly, everything that JB says?" He was so dazzeled by "JB's Football knowledge and accruing," it became reciprical, a catalyst for continued research. At times, renders good results until the put downs occur. Ex. "Runce you dunce!" "Perk up Guvna." |

J.in.VA...thanks man. Thats a big game your old high scholl has. My team is in divison 3 so no state for us. It works a little different in MA. But dont get me wrong these kids play with so much heart. We were huge under dogs coming into the season because of all the seniors we lost. im proud of them no matter what the outcome. |
| icruz 12/03/08 2:32 pm |
yeah we should blitz but not too much. I dont want them to hit us over the top on playaction because everyone is so focused on stopping the run. We need to roll Dawk into the box and have Mikell over the top . I know i receivers can handle Hixon and Toomer |
| J.in.VA.3@... 12/03/08 2:30 pm |
yo icruz good luck with the game. im not a coach or anything but my old high school plays on sat too in the VA state ship. (to bad they play the #6 ranked team in the nation..but who knows) hopefully two big dubs. |

yeah but my best friend already had the curve...when it first came out. no way im gonna get the same phone 2 years later lol i gotta stay on top of my game darlin!! and firelion...what did i say to gboly that you want me to say to you? lol so confused.. |

Hows everyone doing today? Wow Noodle, Your life story is looking about as sad n sappy as mine. And the Eagles. Hey, don't feel bad, the Eagles organisation hasn't done so well in 75 years. They haven't given up though!! Anyway, I have a new prediction on the Eagles postseason/drafting. If we win out, we're 10-5-1. I have Falcons losing to TB and MIN. I have the Girls losing to PIT, NYG, us. I think Bal will give them a run for their money also. DAL - 9-7. WAS needs only to lose versus us. I'm having the Panthers fall apart but still gather the top WC spot, with TB leading that division. IF WE WIN OUT, I believe in the NFC WC#2 spot. |
| icruz 12/03/08 2:24 pm |
dbm, we won last year we went 12-1 this year we went 9-3 because we lost a lot of seniors from the year before. we will see what happens. |
| nacintron@... 12/03/08 2:23 pm |
Whoa! There's a lot of hostility goin' on here. Looks like Nuuuudlz ticked off some people today for whatever reason. Hey Nuuuudlz, if people are mad at you cause you've been supportin' McNabb on your comments, then I got your back. Now the Eagles. We need to blitz more since Burress isn't playin'. He's the reason why Jim Johnson stayed away from it cause he's scared of Plaxico. If we rattle Eli like we did Kurt Warner we got this game and our defense can get to him. |
| dbm517@... 12/03/08 2:21 pm |
thats okay. and i hope you guys win then icruz! |
| thefirelion 12/03/08 2:20 pm |
I foresee a good deal of run blitzes, and delayed blitzes (hold the running lane until eli drops back then shot the gap) this game. |
| dbm517@... 12/03/08 2:17 pm |
phelan, phlem, whatever, save all your useless ranting and personal attacks for another site. this is for philly fans, and if you want to go ahead and stomp those that are already down, shame on you. please shut up. how rude!! and i admit...our receivers did step it up. but i wouldnt put westy on the the list...he was hurt in the games he forced his body to play in. TRUE WARRIOR!! if lito has to play again, HE ought to be on the list big time. he was letting WAYYY too many plays go uncovered against the cards that would have been VERYY costly against the giants. |

Nuuuudlz..Speaking of Klecko, I am amazed we are paying him $10.6 mil. this year. He is earning more this year than the entire starting front four combined of Cole, Patt, Bunk and Parker. Something is not right with that picture.

| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 2:15 pm |
phaggojo: Baskett has been a playmaker, and Avant leads the team in 3rd down conversions. whats not to like about them? Curtis is coming back from a sports hernia . . . your gonna fault him for having a damned hernia? idiot. |
| chrisejlewis@... 12/03/08 2:15 pm |
icon > a passport? Are you talking about coming into Canada and whether or not you need a passport? If so, I believe that you do in order to complete a round trip. See below: "Do I Need a Passport to Visit Canada?" >>> travellers from the States should understand that US and Canada border requirements are not necessarily the same but inextricably linked. For example, Canada technically does not require a passport for US citizens arriving by plane to Canada, however, the US does require a passport to get back in; therefore no passport - no boarding a plane to Canada" |

youre very welcome sweets =] |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 2:04 pm |
Deb: you gotta look at the recievers within the right context. 4 of our recievers have stepped up, namely Peanut, Baskett, Avant, and Curtis. Brown and Lewis have been phazed out of the gameplan, so they wont have the opportunity to step up or screw up. Curtis has been a bit sloppy, but he is coming back from surgery and he gets better every week, so the reciever corps, in its current condition, really doesnt need to step up. But if our young recievers have a big game, like they did in the 1st contest (Baskett, Avant, and Peanut all had touchdowns, if youll recall) then we got a real good shot at winning. Why isnt Westbrook on this list, I wonder? Or Jaamal Jackson, for that matter? |
| PhelanJo@... 12/03/08 2:04 pm |
hey Nuuudzs maybe a little less time on this site and maybe on the Job hunting sites. I hear the Eagles are looking for some sanitation specialists. Well good luck finding a job. Maybe since you love McNabb so much you can change his diaper |

And this is the one Sunday where everyone should want the ball in the hands of #5. Historically, he kills the Giants. I think it is something like 22 total TDs to 5 INTs in his career; whatever it may be the Giants bring out the best in Donovan. This is his time to prove to the league that he can still get the job done in a must-win game. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. |

"Right, Brizer?" Where is my "Eunuch Friend?" Must be making dinner for "Big Momma," the obvious "Bread Winner," of the family.

| Cutch21 12/03/08 1:36 pm |
Game comes down to the big boys up front, bottom line. Last time our defensive front got manhandled by that strong and athletic Giants offensive line. Our offensive line did an excellent job pass blocking, but did not have the heart and grit to get a single yard on the last drive. It is tough to run the ball consistently and have a balanced offensive attack if the OL is not opening any holes, which has been the problem in some games this year. I do not think the weather will affect the Eagles passing attack, as McNabb throws the rock like it has been shot out of a cannon; it cuts through the wind, rain, or snow with no problem. Another key is getting in front early, because if you allow the game to stay close, Eli always makes the big plays at the end whether you want to hear it or not. You go up 10 to 14 points early, that is when he reverts to the Eli of old and gets careless with the football. My personal opinion is that if the Eagles steal one this Sunday, we steamroll over Cleveland on Monday Night and go into Washington with a hot red team and more than likely will run the table. |
| dbm517@... 12/03/08 1:27 pm |
hmm you have a point. i forgot youre one of the old timers on here. its okay...just keep in mind itll get better. sometimes all you gotta here is for someone to say it'll be okay so nudlz? everythings going to be okay =] and since you have a trade for being a mechanic, time to utilize it dear!!! and i agree...id hate to have to label you as one of those annoying "experts" who are 99% of the time WRONG and comment on the team that is hott/winning. whatev. dont give up!! life is like a roller coaster..ugh im being a girl big time let me stop with all the emotional moral stuff. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 1:21 pm |
appreciate the concern, Deb, but I'm too old to start over again. Didnt finish college. Didnt get through bootcamp. completed 3 years of tradeschool and graduated as a truck mechanic. One way or the other, I'm gonna get work as a mechanic. Besides, I could never work in the journalism or broadcasting field . . . I believe in getting a real job, and I hate the talking heads who get paid for their opinions. I know how the job market is but . . . if we drop our standards during the hard times, we have no standards. I've wasted enough money on school, and I've been a student for 20 years now. Time to move on. |
| dbm517@... 12/03/08 1:16 pm |
and im shocked spadaro didnt put a WR on the list. all have dropped crucial balls or committed doofus plays that require THEY step it up too. if he names one, id have to say reggie brown. the other receivers seem to be OK in that respect, but i dont want to see lewis!!! he should be on here too because i know at some point (HOPEFULLY NOT THIS GAME!!) he'll be off the sidelines and in the lineup and thrown the ball and!!! yup, you guess it, will drop it. our defense def has to be on it's A-game though, and the offense needs the consistency they showed against the cards. keep in mind this is the same "bad" team some have said that beat the girls right before romo went down. okay? so that was a VERY good victory. it became too close for comfort because the defense decided to go into cruise control in the fourth. see how the giants played in the last couple of minutes against the redskins? never gave up. had that been the eagles, the score would have been deceiving once we let them score that final TD, even though the game was over anyways. unacceptable. |
| dbm517@... 12/03/08 1:09 pm |
nuuudddlzzzzzz!! i was thinkin buddy...you write rather well..know your facts. why not start your own blog site or somethin? or get into journalism, apply around local agencies to write stories? and if you're really into it, you can get a broadcasting (I think that's what it is...) degree and be on the air in no time. Up to you...another smart move is dental hygiene. i know, random, but the more i see your name, the worse i feel. you could also be a HC for a high school team or somethin, like icruz claims he is. btw icruz...if you guys are going to a SB, i think that you ought to be coaching them more than being on this site!!! not a personal jabb...but i want us to be winners on herE! |

It might sound like college "Rah,Rah," but let's keep the "pressure on this team," like we did prior to "Turkey Day." They build up a tolerence and complaciency, to the "Philly Norms," so we too must, "go over the top," striking a chord with their ego's, determination and pride. That's "Eagles Football." How do you think the fans, we, got this way? |

| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 1:05 pm |
ballhawk: Mcnabb doesnt necessarily need to "run" more, just move the pocket. That is why the running game is so important. when the gameplan is all Mcnabb, he gets tired. I dont like the fact that he cant shoulder the offense for 4 quarters unlike Brady and Manning but . . . you cant have everything. We have talent at runningback and fullback, and we need to use it, or the coaches are flat out cheating their star qb. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 1:01 pm |
JinVA: are you blind or naive? Again, watch the games. Stretch your attention span just a little ways back to the 06 season. 1st half of the season? Reid called the plays, exclusively. Result? Pass pass pass, losing season. 2nd half? Marty was publicly given the playcalling duties, and he balanced the runpass ratio. We went to the playoffs because of balance. Reid the interview postscripts from this season, and pay attention when the issue of playcalling comes up - both Reid and Marty admit to SHARING PLAYCALLING DUTIES. Reid has admitted to being involved with calling the plays. Documented proof. On this website and from history. You think I'm making this up? Its called facts. Documented, written, facts. |
| kekain2002@... 12/03/08 12:58 pm |
All I gotta say is that the defensive line needs to win the battles up front. Look at how the redskins approached the game and what they did to limit the giants rushing attack. Control the line of scrimmage and go for the legs. You hit the RB's down low and they can't get to their downhill speed. Kill that running game and make manning throw so we can get some INT's. Jus dont allow them to run all over us and gash us with 219 rushing yards! |

Great Post, "TODAY," acalvo," like the way your thinking and couldn't agree more. If this game was as "Cut & Dry," as some would incinuate, "Statisically," we'd be in first place. Isn't that what the analysts say, reference the start of the season, when many stated, "Eagles and the Patriots," at the S/B? |
| J.in.VA.3@... 12/03/08 12:54 pm |
I was readin the post below and once again agree with ball-hawk. and marty's been callin plays all year and they even discussed him callin plays during the broadcast in one of the earlier games. Andy has a play chart cuz well hes the head coach and wants to know wat plays r bein run. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 12:52 pm |
alchovolic: right on the money. This game is about heart, by both teams. Eagles showed it against the Cards, from top to bottom. Reid had fire against the Cards, and he needs it this sunday. Marty had fire, he needs it this sunday. Donny dont need no fire, juuuuuust a cool hand and some help from the running game. More than anything, the linemen need fire. I like Cole's confidence in his post-game interview - he looks hungry. Entire line needs to get rough. Defensive line has so much to prove, they are a failure if they dont play their best game on sunday. I'm with you . . . play rough, and its a win. |
| acalvo01 12/03/08 12:52 pm |
PUNCH THEM IN THE MOUTH FOR ONCE. ELI MANNING IS NOT THE TOUGHEST QB IN THE NFL,BUT IS PORTRAYED THAT WAY,BECAUSE OF THE TEAM. THERE COACH IS COUGHLIN FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD. THEIR BEST RB IS BRANDON JACOBS,GIVE ME A BREAK......THE LEAGUE IS NOT GOING TO HELP THEM ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE PLEXIGLASS STUATION. THIS IS JUST LIKE THE PATRIOTS GETTING CAUGHT CHEATING PRIOR TO THE SUPER BOWL,YET AGAIN. A TEAM LIKE US WITH QUALITY COACHES AND PLAYERS THAT STAY OUT OF TROUBLE,HAS A CHANCE,BUT IT'S NOT GONNA JUST BE GIVEN TO US. WE HAVE TO TAKE IT!!!!!! |
| ball-hawk 12/03/08 12:47 pm |
YOU ARE RIGHT TO AN EXTENT, the final factor if running with the Qb, especially when the Qb is great runner. It takes a saftey of MLB out of the middle. Opens up dumps to B West (not just screens), LJ (cant believe I said that), and slot WR. When you dont run with your RBs and you have great running QB that doesnt run you lay back in coverage. You must press the issue of running, since MM and Reid wont D Mac has to. I also dont think D Mac will ever be a pure passer ( A lA Manning, Brady, Brees). He was more of an option QB in college too. Thats not a bad thing, you just have to play call to his strengths AND I CAN GUARANTEE 40-50 throws a game is not good for him. |
| acalvo01 12/03/08 12:45 pm |
Hey guys and gals,Sunday's game is going to come down to which team wants it more. Do the Eagles want to continue having a shot at the playoffs,or do the Giants want to get the NFC East title? Who wants it more? I say the Eagles,because 2 of the past 3 years,the Eagles have been sitting home,wheras the Giants are champs. McNabb himself has sat at home for the past 3 years. Does he want it to be 4 straight? Then you throw in the T.O. jr. distraction with Plexiglass,Jacobs,and Pierce,and it's ours for the taking. I'm calling this team's heart out! If they can't win this game,especially in the snow, than the Eagles have no heart. And that goes for the FO as well. Yes,Reid I'm calling you out as well. You go out and win this damn game. You've been beaten so many times by the giants that the excusues need to stop. No more,"everybody has a piece of the pie" or ,"we were just a little off,we'll get it fixed" crap. It's time to take back this division,and crawl and scratch our way back out of the East cellar. If players get ejected for being rough,I don't care. If we lose because we're too physical,i.e. an unnecesary roughness hit on Eli puts them in game-winning field goal position,I'm fine with that. I don't want to see last years game happen,where they beat us up and down the field,but We had a chance at a game-tying field goal at the end,which Akers bounced off the post. UH UH! I want us to do the pounding,not them. Just like the last time we beat them,during the playoffs with Garcia. We just were more physical,and at the end,Westbrook punched it down their throat,play after play. |

| eagle3686@... 12/03/08 12:41 pm |
where is this tackles stat being hidden at? Q does not have 133 tackles. how is that. the same thing for OG last year. that number is about 50 too high. |

easy enough to say, ball-hawk. Reid and Marty and Shurmer and Whipple can tell him to run and he might listen, or he might not. When he's on the field, Donny decides to pass or run. He should take advantage of open real estate, certainly, but he shouldnt have to run it to shake up the defense. That is what you have a running game for. Its that simple. Mcnabb didnt get it done from 99-2002, even though he was running just as much as Deuce was. #5 is actually on his way to his best season in terms of yardage, and he has produced touchdowns in every game that the coaches have allowed him to throw in the redzone. His mechanics and his recievers are fine. The offense only suffers from the lack of a run game. Reid was calling the Cinci and Baltimore games, and if you cant see that you were not watching the game, its that simple. |
| icruz 12/03/08 12:38 pm |
I think DMac could be a could pure passer if they utilized the Run Game more. Its hard to throw on DIME defenses when they kno you are going to throw. |
| ball-hawk 12/03/08 12:33 pm |
I think Reid and MM pigeon hole D MAC into being a pure passer and he is not that. He is a damn good qb with great athleticism! When he got hurt I think Reid reigned him in when he got injured those times. When that happened D Mac lost confidence in his decision making ability, which in turn hurt his confidence in throwing the ball because of facing DIME defenses a lot. Very tough for anyone to look accurate throwing on DIME Defenses |
| ball-hawk 12/03/08 12:29 pm |
As better qb coaching, I am not sure we could use a little of that. A good Qb coach will D mAc back to what made him ALMOST unstoppable and feared. I think D Mac has to do what he is good at...RUN A LITTLE. If he does that just enough to keep the defense on their heels he will 10 TIMES as productive, because there has to be a spy on him freeing up the middle of the field for Slot WR and a TE! |
| ball-hawk 12/03/08 12:20 pm |
Andy always has a play chart at one time or another during the game, he likes to know what is called and when. Norv defines balance. Look at the balance in San Fran, Dallas, and San Diego as o coordinator. I think FO has to force reid to be the COACH, not Coach, gm, talent scout, car wash guy, ball boy, team cook, and any other job he has. (last few were jokes of course. I would ove to Norv here, but it wont happen! We wont see a OC change until there is a regime change. The only OC change will be Reid doing it all again. WHICH I DONT WANT!!! |
| icruz 12/03/08 12:08 pm |
When Marty is at the helm he gets it done play calling wise. Andy is way too pass happy. Marty believes in balance. And managing the game with short quick accurate passes and takes his shots down the field when needed. Not all the time like Andy |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 12:03 pm |
ballhawk: I saw both the Cinci and Baltimore games. In both those games, Reid was roaming the sidelines with a playchart, and Marty was invisible. Reid was calling that game, or at least heavily involved in the game plan. Against Arizona . . . Reid didnt have a big chart. Marty isnt my 1st choice for the offense, but if he is allowed to call the game by himself, he will call a somewhat more balanced game, just like he did when Garcia was qb. The big obstacle for this team has always been Reid - he tries to do too much, and makes himself inept. I'd love a coordinator with a spine, someone to tell Reid to shut up, but I dont see that happening nowadays. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 11:57 am |
ball-hawk: Turner is good with quarterbacks, no denying that. We dont need better coaching of the quarterback, we just need better coaching FOR the quarterback. Any move at OC needs to emphasize the run game, because we already have Pat Shurmer and Mark Whipple guiding Donny. Aside from 2 games, he has been better this year than he has since he played the superbowl, so Turner isnt gonna improve anything, unless we go with Kolb next year, which I dont see happening just yet. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 11:55 am |
true enough, franky - but the decisions are getting better and better over those 4 years, right? We're knocking on the door of another postseason. Our rookies and our FA accquisitions are playing very well. The bad decisions are getting phazed out of the gameplan. Decisions should have been made much sooner, I agree, but better late than never. |
| ball-hawk 12/03/08 11:54 am |
If we are going young then JJ should go to!!! Age has nothing to do with it has to do with competance. MM is incompetent at best. You work with your strength, forcing D Mac to throw 40-50 times a game is not our strength, as apparent on T-Giving! |
| ball-hawk 12/03/08 11:51 am |
NUUDZ: Quick information for you think about before I am having a bad day! 2006-2007 SAN FRANCISCO 49ers: 7-9 scored 298 pts, 4857 passing yds and 2172 rushing yds with Norv as O coord. San Fran sucks and has sucked worse w/o him at O cordinator. Norv is a top flight o coordinator, not a good decision maker has head coach. Those #s were with Alex Smith at Qb, where is he now......oh yeah watching on Sunday! |
| FrancisXMcCann 12/03/08 11:43 am |
Nuudz... while I agree no front office can get everything right, the Giants did get enough decisions right to win the Super Bowl last year and be 11-1 this year. We got enough wrong to be .500 or maybe a hair over .500 for the past 3 and 3/4 seasons. |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 11:42 am |
Ball Hawk: your off to a bad start today. No to turner now and for ever. As to Marty, if he balances the offense effectively for the next 4 games, with Reid sitting faaaaar away from a play chart . . . he's our OC. If not, we should go a bit younger than Turner. Garrett and Spags are both very unrealistic in any capacity, and some of you morons need to get your rightguard right because you reek of desperation. |
| J.in.VA.3@... 12/03/08 11:40 am |
i would have to agree with ball-hawk and say i would take turner as the oc every time. guy is a proven oc. imo andy would never hire norv while hes still here and im not jumpin on the fire andy bandwagon(yet). |
| Nuuuudlz 12/03/08 11:36 am |
7up: I think your just a lil over the top. Letting go of Wilson was a stupid move at the time, because Klecko ahd been moved to defense and Hunt was undersized as a fullback. That move cost us JR Reed, who deserved to stay over guys like hunt and schoebel and Glew. The fullback position is pretty good right now, since Klecko has been allowed to get settled at the position. Tracy White has had some immediate impact on special teams, and ST play overall has improved since he has joined the team, so he has been a positive move. Tank Daniels . . . bust, agreed. Studabaker is a big loss, but we have enough at linebacker to make that loss insignificant, and I wont be surpised to see another late round linebacker in the upcoming draft. Clemons has had 3 or 4 back to back strong games, so he is definitely worth keeping. No FO is gonna get every call right, otherwise New York woulda dumped Shockey years ago. |
| ball-hawk 12/03/08 11:30 am |
Turner as O coordinator would be GREAT!!! Look at the Boys when he was there, look at San Diego a yr ago! Turner struggles as a head coach. Finally forget Bradley, if our D line CAN'T control the line of scrimmage and slow Jacobs up before he gets a head of steam we are in trouble. LASTLY: RUN THE BALL WITH THE SAME BALANCE AS THANKSGIVING!!!! |
| FrancisXMcCann 12/03/08 11:26 am |
Wow, what do you know, another game holding our breath to see if LJ Smith shows up. He should wear a ski mask over his face when he plays cause he robbed us of 8 million dollars. Thats the only reason the man is on the field right now. Real1Up the man making these lovely personnel decisions is none other than Mr. " I Don't Know How to Use my First Round Draft Pick", the Blunder of Blubber, Andy Reid. Norv Turner cannot win playoff games and is just not what we need. Marty Morningwhig is of the Andy Reid school of thought and should not be allowed anywhere near a front office when Andy is gone (Please take him Andy). Our offense has only suffered under his tenure as coordinator. Jason Garrett is getting paid BANK to stay in Dallas and if you think the Eagles are going to open up their purse strings for him... hahah i'll just leave it at that. The eagles would rather pay a no-namer no name money than pay big bucks for a big name. Either way, if he ain't Bill Cowher or Steve Spags, and it isn't the guy from the Giants taking over player personnel decisions, I think we are just taking a shot in the dark. Might work, might not. |
| psnmay@... 12/03/08 11:11 am |
definitely hell no to Turner |
| icruz 12/03/08 11:03 am |
with the way the Chargers are moving the ball i would say hell no to Turner. I would like Jasson Garret has our HC or Marty |
| chilla1978@... 12/03/08 10:58 am |
i think that special teams will be huge this game. field position of course will b key. i got a gut feeling dat djack or q demps will have a big return dat will spark us 2 a upset win! what if norv turner gets fired, could he come in n help as our oc |
| real1up@... 12/03/08 10:30 am |
!!!!!Dumbest 2008 Eagles Personnel Decisions !!!!!
1. Releasing TE/FB Kris Wilson.
RESULT: Immediately Picked up by Chargers. This guy lead Larry Johnson to a 1000+ yard season last year so you know he can block. What are 2 of are huge offensive weaknesses? TE and FB blocking!!! Idiots!
2. Cutting DE/LB Andy Studebaker.
RESULTS: Even Though he was on the practice squad for a few weeks he is now on the Chiefs active roster and I predict will be starting next year. This guy was the most athletic LB/DE we had by far. 40=4.60, 10=1.60, vert=37, conedrill=6.90. If you don't know, those numbers are as good or better than Vernon Gholston who went to the Jets with a Top 10 Pick. All this guy needed was time to develope to be the next great eagles linebacker because he is a Phenomeonlly hard worker. dope FO decides to bring in Tank Daniels and Tracy White. WTF!!!!!!!!!!
Please Mr. Lurie, Fire who ever is making these stupid a** decisions. We can't afford to cut players of this calibur but keep Fing G. Lewis, Daniels, White, and Clemmons. These are not Tough Calls! |
| icruz 12/03/08 10:19 am |
Man i cant wait until Sunday. I want to se this game already |
