GAME INACTIVES, CHANGES ON 'D'
December 11, 2005
By CHRIS McPHERSON
Cornerback Donald Strickland will suit up for the first time as an Eagle on Sunday against the New York Giants.
Strickland, who played with the Indianapolis Colts in the season opener, was released after suffering a hamstring injury which placed him on Injured Reserve. Strickland started in 12 games for the Colts in the last two seasons, but will play in nickel situations against the Giants.
"They're thinking of giving me a little time at nickel," said Strickland on Friday. "(The Eagles will move) Sheldon (Brown) in to play the slot and I'll go on the outside. I've been working in and getting to know the defense."
S Jack Brewer
There are other changes for the Eagles defense. Defensive tackles Mike Patterson and Sam Rayburn will start in place of Darwin Walker and Hollis Thomas.
"We are rotating those guys, so we are going to give those two an opportunity to start it off," said head coach Andy Reid on Friday. "We feel like we have four guys that can start, so it's not as big of a deal as what you can make of it. It's an opportunity for those guys to get in and see what they can do at the beginning."
The inactive for the Eagles include wide receiver Carl Ford, cornerback Dexter Wynn, running back Brian Westbrook, linebacker Matt McCoy, defensive tackle Keyonta Marshall, guard Scott Young, tackle Calvin Armstrong and wide receiver Terrell Owens.
For the Giants, Jared Lorenzen is the third quarterback. Safety Shaun Williams, cornerback Frank Walker, linebacker Alonzo Jackson, guard Rich Seubert, wide receiver Jamaar Taylor, defensive end Adrian Awasom and defensive tackle Damane Duckett.
Strickland was signed by the Eagles on Nov. 22 after Lito Sheppard was placed on Injured Reserve. He was inactive in the past two games, but thanks to the help of his former college teammate, strong safety Michael Lewis, he has picked up enough of the defense to get on the field.
"It's been a little challenging figuring I came from a completely different scheme," said Strickland. "Learning on the fly is a pretty tough obstacle, but luckily I have Michael Lewis there for support to clean up the rough edges. He's been in this situation. It's going in the right direction."
Strickland, who studied Mechanical Engineering, was a teammate of Lewis' at Colorado.
Sunday's game will be special for another of the relatively newer additions to the team. Safety Jack Brewer, who has been a part of the special teams unit, will face his former team.
"Playing against the team I played a year and a half for...it's always fun to go against your old team again and see familiar faces all across the board," said Brewer. "I have a lot of respect for them, but I'm definitely excited about the game."
Brewer, who was signed after Sean Considine was placed on Injured Reserve, contributed a pair of special teams tackles in his Eagles debut against the Giants.
"I think he's a guy, I would think, that would have a future here," said special teams coordinator John Harbaugh. "It all depends on numbers and that kind of stuff and what his plans are, but he's a very good special teams player and I think he's a pretty darn good defense player as well."
well this looks to be gettin bad fast
Sure does.....
Glad someone else is out there ...kind of lonely here today ::)

And the longest run by an Eagles RB this year belongs to Ryan Moats. :-D
How long was the run?
Hey now! Go Moats! Need to see more of that! Kid is gonna be a bad ass!
A good block by Josh Parry, and a TD by Moats... miracles Do happen... by the way, avatar is corrected.
Jeez dont we know Joe Buck well enough now to not call him the announcer? Come on!
Now we need the D to step it up......knock Shocky's head off :evil :evil :evil

DARTH! ;D
hazzah!
:yay
I want to see the wheel route to Moats, assuming he knows how to run a wheel route.
Mahe...!!
SOMEONE screwed up on that pass.
Good shot there....Herriman lookslike the real deal
Not a bad kick out of bounds by the old guy
The D has really showed up today.........so far
7-7 after 1 qtr... I can live with that. :-\
That damn Tiki... :boom
Come on D stop him...........get one by the challenge!
Wow.
Get to the 1 - and get the door slammed in the face like that, you would think the Eagles were facing the Jehovah's Witnesses.

same thing as the game in ny. 3 stops then a score on 4th down. crud.
Stop them :boom :boom :boom :boom
Where was the flag for timecount on that play :boom :boom
(ok am I the only one out here)
I don't care if now one's out there................
That's my boy!!!!!!!!!!
Moats has been called a "Second Westbrook."
The Giants are seeing deja vu.
Apparently Ryan Moats is awesome.
Tell me again why we paid up Westbrook? Moats looks faster to me......and cheaper.

Its T.O.'s fault.
Impressions so far:
Reggie Brown does look good. So does Moats. I think Herremans is doing quite well... managed to impede Manure-whatever enough to not flatten McMahon (and enable a completion). The block on the second Moats TD run was impressive... sliding of the DE and sealiong the edge).
Even McMahon does look decent now.
Now we need to stop Tiki...
Giants Offense popped a clutch.
Eagles call time out...going on the attack... :evil :evil
Kill the farging mormons.
I wish I got the game out here. The two local FOX affiliates rather show infomericals than the Eagles game.
Double Time...MARCH!
Go Mahe!

cbs has the dh, fox can only show one game. chicago/pissburgh was the best matchup.
Why is Mahe in there.........where's Moats
Halftime, 0-0.
The real game starts in 15 minutes.
Akers is still gold...
should be a very interesting second half...
I would put a little gold star next to the season if we can knock the Giants out of the playoffs with a win this week.
Baby Eaglets tie the game at the half. :yay
Yeah. the Cowturds just went up 3 late in the first half. Would be nice if we could knock the Gints out and bring them back down to earth a little.
Ryan Moats looks awesome!
I assume the Giants will know how to defend the sweep left so I hope Moats can break one up the gut or off Runyans ass.
I am going to faint...Reno Mahe and Josh Parry have done good. I'm shocked.!
The D needs to buck up. They should've had 3 turnovers gotta hold on to those picks/
Reggie Brown has some tude. love it.
Why Mahe is in there...
I don't know... yet still he had also quite a smart play (going for the sideline instead of upfield, where he seemed to have space as well).
I do want to see some improvement the second half though...
well they've exceeded my expectations at this point. though it has become painfully clear that g-lew isn't more then a #3 receiver on his best day.
wilbur. has hands. who knew.
O-Line suddenly forgot how to block.
Come on...get some points!
Big play !!
Sheldon!
best game thread evar
brown looks like the real deal. wonder if he'll slump out next year. g-lew should probably just sit down on the bench and let real nfl players handle this. wait.. do we have any of those left?
I'm proud of this Eagles team. :yay
There's a lot of heart out there on the field today.
looks like ot
Good thing ius, they are playing with hard... now just finish this one...

Come on 25 yds
Gapped tooth bastich.
yawn.. do i really want to sit around and watch the defense blow it now that the offense did their part to choke.
Damn it. :boom
Come on defense!
Man, if they would have called that as a horsecollar then I would have spazzed big time. The refs haven't been calling it all year and there have been instances that looked far more serious than that one. Good non call.
let choke kicker do his thang!!
3 interceptions for Sheli. :-D
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :evil
farging cowboys just won. it kills me.
Lewis limping off pretty badly.
they held wow... if the giants had a kicker that didn't choke so much they might be heading for the locker rooms right now thou.

Now the offense is holding too... :boom
I feel a tie coming on.
Had Akers hit that 49 yarder in regulation they would have been in the locker room 7m30s ago. ;)
Penalties and more o-line injuries. Wooohoooo!
WHY IS #@*^&@^*&^@*&#^@*&^#@*&^#*&^ MAHE GETTING THE #@^&@&*&@&#@&*#@&#*(@&#*(@&*(#&*( BALL WHEN #&$#@$#^&%^&$#%^$#& MOATS HAS RUN TWO @*&#@^#@*&#@^^*#&^ TOUCHDOWNS!!

Definitely a fumble. :boom

Thats a great fargin question

if we didn't lose mcnabb, owens, westbrook, lito, tra, pinkston, mcdougle etc.. we'd be playing for the division lead as well.
oh joy we did blow it. i think i enjoyed the romp down on monday more then this game. at least i didn't have the false sense of hope.
feely choke our only hope
Feeley for the game losing FG. :boom
Losers.
well the giants suck for not kicking the crap out of us.
i love this team.
now officially mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
ya know.. for any of you dumb asses that still had that little glimmer of a thing called hope.
bright side is hopefully moats showed enough to take mahe's spot next year.
probably not though. reids neat like that.
It was nice to see the Eagles at least wait until the end of the game before rolling over. They've got one last chance to keep from getting SWEPT in the division.
i hope washington runs the table until week 17 then we win and knock them out the playoffs. that would be so good. i cant even describe the feeling of seeing joe gibbs weep like a little girl on the sidelines. oh man.
I want to see McCoy starting next game. Why not.
Can anyone photoshop a BYU degree to give to Moats?
mcmahon is a friggin spaz.

Get him a QB that isn't going to underthrow every long pass, then yeah, he could be a #1. Not a top five guy, but he can play. He's certainly got more emotion than Greggie or Pinkston.

people who heard reid talk about the "fine" wr corps of thrash & pinkston for 3 years? :-D
Or the people who heard him say "I'm fine with our WRs" after the NFCCG vs. Carolina only to see him go out and get TO.
Don't read into it too much yet
its not out of the realm of possibility that andys dumb ass is gonna try and go with pink g-lew and brown next year like thats going to get us back to the superbowl. brown looks ok right now but definitely not enough playing time to make a definite judgement on the guy.

Yep, he sure was. But he saw what this offense looked like with a stud WR. Contrary to popular belief in Philadelphia he's not dumb.
He'll go get someone. I believe that.
HA!
I KNEW someone on here would start whining like a little bitch at what Aikman said, actually buying into what Reid says.
LMFAO.

I hope so too. Believe me, I do. I really want Eric Moulds here.
No, it didn't cross my mind because I said the EXACT same thing Phreak said.
I'm not sticking up for Reid. LOL...what a dumb comment. I have just grown to EXPECT him to say that shtein.
What do you think he's going to say? "Brown isn't good enough for us...we have to go out and get more because I have no faith in him whatsoever."
Mahe should be in the witness protection program at this point.
Greg Lewis is a candyass Pinkston clone.
Mike McMahon should be starting for the Las Vegas Crapshooters of the ANAL_FL instead of starting for a professional team who made it to the Super Bowl last year.
The offensive line played ridiculously at the end. Penalties, farging horseshtein protection that had Shaved-Arms running for his pathetic life... just awful. I don't give a shtein who is in there. Either you're a player or you're just stealing money.
The Colts won't lose a game this year. (This has nothing to do with the Eagles but I went to Jax to see the game and they are the real friggen deal, folks. Jesus - they're scary. The shredded a very good Jags defense to pieces today.)
Brown's definately got potential to be a very good receiver in the NFL. So far, he definately seems to be the best reciever the Eagles have drafted since Arkansas Fred. Definately better than Pink, Lewis, Mitchell, etc. But I'm not ready to hand him the #1 spot.
I don't think Reid meant much by saying what he did about Brown. He's not going to publicly say that Brown's not ready/capable of being "the guy."
But I do see what hunt's saying and why he's skeptical. I don't think that's the way it's going to play itself out. I think Reid's realized what this team can be like with a true receiving threat and will try and duplicate that to the best of his ability.
On another note...
Morganti said last Tuesday that "Ryan Moats does not belong in the NFL. Period"
Looks like he'll be eating a little crow tomorrow. I like Al, but he had no basis to make that comment.
i may be the only one that will come out and say it...but i think Brown will be a #1 guy. he's shown a ton of patience, and has good hands for tough catches. maybe not immediately next season, but by the end of next season, i think so.
BTW: Those of you who're trashing Brown can jam it up your asses. He's not a #1 yet. Guess what? No farging shtein. He's a rookie. If you can't see that the kid has ability, then you are blind.
whats the deal with Jackson?
also, Clarke must really suck if he loses out to Hicks.

I share your optimism on Brown. I don't think he's ready to be "the guy" next year and thats why I would like to see a guy like Eric Moulds here.
I also would love to see Wilbur be the full time slot guy. He is showing some nice things in his limited opportunities. If he saw 10 passes a game I think he'd put up nice numbers.
I think I am the only Wilbur fan on this planet other than the McMullen family.
of course he has ability...but do you want to see brown & pinkston as the starters going into next season?
me neither...so cram it up your cramhole, la fleur.
hopefully andy was blowing smoke...but years of hearing him talk like that about thrash & pinkston have scarred me for life.

Didn't catch the word on Jamaal. But it sucks that he got hurt but also it is nothing new with him. He should have a Red Cross tat.
And Hicks got his job back because Reid says starters don't los their jobs to injury. I want to see more of Clarke as well.

No disagreement here. Maybe next week. If not then we'll have to wait until Adrien beats him out at Lehigh next year.

Wilbur has finally shown some signs of life this year. I'm not putting much stock in it until I see him produce consistantly, but so far this year has been a big step for him. At the very least I think he's earned the right not to get released before training camp.

Thats why I think he'd fit well here. He won't be a young and up&comer like Wayne who'll demand a wad o' cash. He'd be a stable veteran presence for Donovan and who is a proven #1. He also was heavily recruited by the Eagles a few years ago so you know they dig him.
Give him 2-3 years here and then Reggie is ready to be "the guy". In the meantime he learns a lot and is a steady #2.
I dont care if they overpay for Wayne or if they get Moulds... or even if they somehow find a way to get Javon Walker. Just do something to improve the WR position. Getting Pinkston back off a severe injury doesnt count.
hey Phreak, McMullen needs to be cut. ;D

i can deal with that.
i'm sure moulds would enjoy playing on a team that actually has a passing game for a change.
Another game where the team as a whole just can't make the big plays when it matters. The defense got interceptions, but missed key tackles on Manning and had no pressure all day at all and the offense just couldn't convert when it counted. Too many penalties. I really wanted this win too despite the loss being the best thing at this point.
The Cripboys won today on a bullshtein call as well...
God, the NFL just loves its parity, doesnt it?

Just give him back #81 and watch the fireworks start. He'd be unstoppable!
Greg Lewis on the other hand, a guy who I thought would be solid and who I am not writing off yet because I think he's best suited to be a slot guy, is as soft as a goddamn pillowtop mattress

From everything I've heard (this week excepted), Moulds would be a good veteran presence to teach Brown how to be a number 1, and would have enough left to hold the position for a couple of seasons until Brown is ready to assume the mantle, if he develops as Reid apparently expects.
GET MOULDS! >:D
I am really not holding out any hope for Moulds to come our way. The Eagles will be one of many teams looking for a big name #1 in the offseason, and who really thinks they are going to pay top dollar? I honestly see a trade or a move happening for more WR talent, but doubt they will grab any big names. I think through free agency and the draft, it is going to be a seriously awesome offseason for the Iggs, I almost can't wait to get this season over with. After watching and seeing what Reggie Brown does, I think there will be enough talent all around next year to let the kid grow without offense having to lean on him heavily to always make huge plays, and by midway through the season, he may be able to really come on strong.

The Cripboys won today on a bullshtein call as well...
God, the NFL just loves its parity, doesnt it?
:puke
As much as I hate the Cowboys, I can't bring myself to say that it was a bs call. It wasn't even debatable. Easy call by the refs and (un)fortunately they got it right.
goood overall effort...im pleased for what its worth.

king andy is setting us up for the offseason. :boo :boo
Knew that comment would bring out certain people.
people who heard reid talk about the "fine" wr corps of thrash & pinkston for 3 years? :-D
No, I meant the easily-manipulated type. :-D
I have to agree with Sarge, that was a good call on KC.
Great game by the Birds today, they showed heart even in defeat. I refuse to knock them over this loss.

I'm with you there. I came into this game with no hopes other than to just stay competitive and not get embarassed. They played tough... just didn't go our way in the end.
I'll knock 'em. With the exception of a handful of plays the defense was walked all over again. There's 8 starters gone from the offense, and the god damned defense still manages to be the weak link.

They picked Manning off 3 times late and held a very potent offense to 23 games in regulation, they could have been better but they kept us in the game.

agreed. i give this team no props what so ever. they finally show some heart this far into the season? wow, im like so totally impressed. this teams a failure this year, and they should be kicked while their down at every chance. bunch of losers. the defense is still mainly intacted and their the main problem this year.

That's great, right after they did their best to get the team out of the game.

But....but ...you can't question the defense, McNabb can't be blamed for that. >:(
Offenses ability to pick up 3rd and longs has been our D's downfall this season. I blame it solely on the non-existant pass rush.
They did play tough......tougher than they have in the last few weeks. So I do give them some credit for that, especially after a very humiliating performance on Monday. I'm not complaining about the effort at all. However, some of the problems this team has had this year were creating turnovers and stopping teams in the red zone. They did both of those things late in the game today and still found a way to blow it and that's a (lot) little disheartening.
Even though the Eagles were officially eliminated for playoff contention today, I think most of us came to that realization several weeks ago. But even though the season's pretty much over there's still something this team has to play for. Heading into today's game, they had 2 chances to win a division game. They didn't get it done today. So now their only shot is the season finale against the Skins.
That's all I really want to see this year. 1 win in the division. I don't care how bad this team is. I don't care about injuries. I don't care about disgruntled receivers, Madden curses or any of that. If this team goes 0 for the division then heads need to roll. Even the 98 Eagles managed to win a game inside the division. Going 0 for is inexcusable.
Did I miss the comments about the front 4's great play?
Cole is a very good run stopper.. outside of that....

If Reno and the scout team are able to do that to the Giants I can't imagine what a playoff team will do to them.
I imagine Mahe was in there more often because Reid sees him as better in passing situations

Not at all, those two came to play. Hey at least those two are leaving everything out there. I love the effort. McMahon tried I will give him that. Reggie's gonna be fine. Hats off to Sheldon and Hood actually played ok. Now G. Lewis needs to purchase some nads right away and poor John Runyan was schooled like a pre-schooler in Calculus 101 by Strahan. That was out right sad.

Ryan's latest blog entry:
QuoteYou would think I'm out partying, but I'm home now because I have to get ready to go in tomorrow and look at film and prepare for the Rams. I have my little guitar and that's what I'm going to do tonight, play my guitar. I'll play whatever. I play everything. No certain songs for the mood. I'm just going to play my guitar and get ready for tomorrow.
We played our hearts out. We played to the bloody end. Our defense played awesome. We were supposed to win this game as a team, but we didn't get it. We're going to pick it back up.
Last night, I met with Coach Shuey after all the meetings for an hour to beat in protections and knowing the checks and all that type of stuff. I had a feeling in my mind during practice this week that I got it. I felt that I had gotten the look off the run. I felt that I would run better in this game.
I never knew what my role would be. I didn't even start. A lot of people thought I would, but that's not the name of the game. There was no starter, it's really who just goes out first. I wasn't worried about that. I knew I would get to play. All I really wanted was a chance to play.
I knew this game would be a battle. Chad Lewis told us earlier in the week that this would be a battle; it would be a battle to the bloody end. It was. That's exactly what it was.
I wasn't nervous for the first time. I felt comfortable. A lot of the time, I felt lost when I was out there running. I knew where I was going, but I felt lost. This game I felt comfortable. I knew exactly where I was going to go if this happened or that happened. That was the difference I guess.
On the first touchdown, I was behind fullback Josh Parry. I saw the opening and said 'Oh my God, here it comes!' I didn't know if Josh was going to pop inside or outside. I think the cornerback came down and Josh popped him. I slipped inside and got back outside real fast. I ran like a dog was chasing me. I saw the endzone and it was so close.
Scoring the touchdown was really the same as scoring in the preseason. A touchdown is a touchdown. There's really no difference. I wouldn't say it didn't feel good, it felt great to score. I'll say that. It's kind of hard to explain.
As the game went on, I just wanted to get positive yards. Three yards a carry is good. I was trying to keep the offensive on the field. When I got the field, I was thinking 'Ryan get positive yards.' Don't do anything crazy.
I don't remember if the second touchdown was the same play. Herremans on the end had No. 72. I ran right towards him and Herremans had him hanging. He was going to try and play either side, that's how he was going to do it. A safety or a cornerback was hanging inside basically taking the inside away from me. I popped at the cornerback and that made the end pop inside. That cornerback did that too and I got around it. The cornerback lost his angle and I got around them.
It was crazy. I felt like it wasn't right.
In the second half, I really wasn't saying 'Give me the ball, give me the ball.' I was just saying when I get the ball, I'll run. It wasn't time to be greedy. That's when things start going downhill. When they give me the ball, I'll run it. If I don't get it, I don't get it.
I did find one thing to enjoy about this game. Either going into or coming out of a commercial FOX played Careful With That Mic for a few seconds. I enjoyed that.

Not necessarily. Because watching Moats run you say to yourself "look at his speed, cutting ability and the way he finds the crack in the defense and is able to slip through".
Watching Mahe you say to yourself "I don't have an idea how or why this loser is able to gain any positive yards".
Moats can make a little something out of nothing. Mahe needs every block to help him out.
Does anybody care that the Eagles were showing Feely's chokejobs against Seattle before he kicked the OT winner? I thought it was funny, but didn't think twice otherwise. But of course WIP is talking about it and Reuben Frank had a little thing about it. I really didn't think it was a big deal. Does anybody care either way?
I find it funny.
Like Didinger said on the radio it is no different than the Giants opening the doors at the Meadowlands or the taterskins doing that at RFK to alter the wind inside.

I think it's completely different than that. Altering wind patterns inside your stadium is cheating, plain and simple. You're altering the playing conditions to affect the outcome of the game.
Showing "lowlights" on a television screen isn't cheating nor is it affecting the playing conditions in any way. If Feely had choked on the field last night, it certainly wouldn't have been because he saw himself gagging it up against Seattle on the Jumbotron.

Funny thing is, The Star-Ledger (Newark, NJ) had an article about it this morning, and at least one of the Giants got a good laugh out of it. Much ado about nothing, if you ask me!
Oh, and I thought it was pretty clever. ;)

Oh, I remember those years well & actually those guys were "fine" up until they got exposed against Carolina. In fact, I don't remember Reid having to defend them & say they were "fine" until after the Carolina NFCC clusterfarg, whereafter he dumped Thrash & brought in Owens, thereby making him a liar.
I just wouldn't read too much into what was said second-hand during yesterday's game. I knew as soon as it was said, it was going to set off some fans or fuel on those that like to antagonize.
the over-whelming Reno touches yesterday drove me nuts. Moats had over 100 yrds and 2 tds, yet they gave the ball to Mahe more than him. Mahe looks like a high- school football player out there. whats the deal with that!
While I agree Mahe shouldn't be on the team, yesterday's performance wasn't bad at all. At least not to be ripping him on it.

there is a group of fans who will rip anything, no matter how stupid the ripping would be. they are like parrots. mahe averaged 6 yards a touch yesterday...any yet you hear the same thing over and over again.
they probably root against mahe when he carries the ball just so they can squawk about how right they were.
Reno was actually running over people yesterday. I didn't see him getting any big blocks. I did see Moats get one hell of a big block from Parry on one of the 2 TD runs.
Yes, Mahe dropped the ball, but he didn't lose any fumbles, so it doesn't matter.
The guy played a good game against a defense that is supposed to be one of the better ones in the NFL.
Today is NOT a day to be ripping him. Sorry.

wah.
it seemed like mahe got the ball more than moats and gordon, moats was having a great day...wanted to see the ball in his hands more than mahe. mahe did an ok job.
6 ypc is better than an okay job and certainly nothing to be ripping on him for.
mahe did okay.
i don't think moats knows all the plays yet so mahe was in there on pass plays...i'm not sure what the story is with gordon.

Neither am I. When they used him and Westbrook in those 2 games, he was really solid for them. Then Reid stops using him and puts him on KRs?
I'm confused on it. I loved what I saw as a 1-2 punch from Westy and Gordon in those 2 games, starting with GB.
I'd just like to say that Mike McMahon should be launched into the sun.
That's all.
Oh yeah, and Mahe sucks. I don't care if he had one above average game. He eats ass by the pound.
