 :-D They played a clip of the Burger King commercial since Eskin will be on.

And the teaser clip on the Trotter interview he said that "some guys didn't play up to their potential".

That reaffirms what Donovan said about some guys not playing well.

Yep. But the whole injury thing factored a lot into that. Not all of it, but most of it.

Eskin says 10 teams are interested in Randle El, with the Eagles being one of them.  His agent is Fletcher Smith and he's expected to work out in Arizona with McNabb again this year....  :paranoid

He might be going out there after rehab in Philly. Maybe after the post draft mini-camp when/if he is cleared to do more.

He was, but after looking at it more I think the money it would take to get him would be too much to invest at this point. Not that they cannot afford it, but I would rather see it spread around to other positions.

Hutch is a very good OG and he'll probably want in excess of what Detroit gave Damien Woody a couple of years ago ($10M signing bonus) since Woody is a G.

So I would rather see a few guys instead of blowing the wad on one guy.

Plus, I like Adrien Clarke. I am really high on a Clarke-Jackson-Andrews interior.

-- says they need to spend time together outside of minicamp and be a "team" again
-- they need to pressure the QB more and get better red zone defense
-- all the LBs struggled, including him
-- believes in the Super Bowl hangover
-- can't blame everything on TO or the injuries. They had no swagger.

Hugh clarifies himself:

McNabb is a leader. The way the question was presented to him was in regards to McNabb being an in your face rah-rah guy and Hugh said that was not him. He said that he needs the Vince Lombardi type talkers around him. His job is to lead by example on the field and that is where he does it and should do it.

farg off Hugh... These iceholes are paid well to and shouldn't need any any rah-rah motivation. [shteinHeadPlayer]uh what's my motivation? Oh yeah Millions & hundreds of thousands of dollars, that's right. I guess, I can get up for this game without a speech designed to psyche up highschool kids.[shteinHeadPlayer/]

I think money can be some motivation.  But when you're playing against other guys of equal talent, the one who wants it for non-monetary reasons is going to get it.

Moss = for the money.  SB?  None.
Bettis = for self satisfaction/ego/desire.  SB?  > none.
