For Hank Baskett, the rookie WR out of New Mexico.
Edit - IGY mentioned it in the Lelie thread.
childress is a moron
then again, watch mcmullen get 1500 yards this year
I'm kinda not sure how I feel about that.

I'm laughing because it hurts to much to cry. I wouldn't be surprised.
hard to believe but the vikings just might have worse wr's than the eagles
mcmahon's ego is getting in the way of vikings success. he obvioulsy lobbied hard to get him.
Tough news to swallow.
:-D
I swear I saw him on TV this year. He's not bad.
fyi

This kid is big.
PE.com story (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/homeNewsDetail.jsp?id=48800)
Weird trade. If they liked Baskett enough, wouldn't they have just drafted him or made a push to sign him as a UDFA?
Very weird. I suppose they were going to cut Billy anyway.
Many of the pre-draft publications had him listed as an H back.
im just glad i dont have to look at mcmullen anymore...he was the oldest looking 25 year old thats ever lived...julio franco looking bitch
Theres a picture on the internet of him making a sick catch, a jump ball where he was literally triple covered. I cant find it. I dont really like him though.
What's there to say about this? Bizarre trade, but no one is gonna miss McMullen. I'm already moving on.
REC 67 | YDS 1,071 | TD 9
Those were his stats.
doesn't have elite speed, but is a high jump champ. thats enough for me. later billy. :yay

I heard about this on NFL radio about an hour ago, as mentioned before just a weird trade. They said the same thing on NFL radio and also brought up the point as to why didn't Philly go after him after the draft. I am sure Spads will give us some convoluted answer. Baskett has PS written all over him.

I was thinking the same thing. It's going to be hard for him to make the team though.
Schein and Wilcotts likened him to Rod Smith on Sirius before.
And Billy McMullen was likened to T.O.
Only because he wore 81.

Exactly the point.
this is probably a case of Childress wanting somebody who knew the offense to help the other recievers and Andy telling him that it was against leage rules to just give him a player and that they'd have to send someone this way to make it an official transaction.

Goodbye, Billy Mac.
However, Hask Baskett has a little bit of potential. I know the Eagles visited with him a few times prior to the draft and even had him into Philly for a private visit.
We'll see what happens...

I'm not campaigning for Lewis to start. I think he's best suited at this point to be a back up. But I think he's a very capable back up with a lot of upside to him.

I was fine with him in 2004 because he was in the role that suited him - a #4 guy who makes the occasional big play and who busts it on special teams.
But last year he was exposed. And he was a guy who gave LITTLE effort on several passes that he should've caught but they turnedinto INTs, incompletions or drops by him. And once his boy TO was let go, he turned into a bitch. He stopped coming on Daily news Live even though he was paid to do so.
I was excited to see what he could do last year, but I don't want him back. Not unless his vadge is done ooozing and he's ready to fight for balls and make plays.

If you're going to pray, you could pray for a lot better than that.
With the addition of Bloom, Avant, Gaffney, McCants (getting re-signed) and now Baskett coming in, I am really starting to think that Pinky isn't coming along, or is doing so very, very slowly. I think Pinky may wind up not being able to play at all, and even if he does, I think the coaching staff doesn't feel he will be the old Pinky.

McCants doesn't make the team over Greg Lewis though. If getting Baskett endangers anyone's spot on the team... it's McCants.
Remember Kevin Dyson? He's the last semi-decent WR I can remember to tear his achilles tendon, in 2003.
Since then, he's caught 2 balls for 15 yards. He's now out of football after failing to catch on with the skins last year.
He was going into his 6th season when he tore it, just like Pinkston.
I dunno, man. I think Big Red likes McCants a lot.

Lies.
EDIT: Clarification - he had only 2.5 sacks during the regular season and seemed to come alive during the playoffs. Then, he had 16 sacks the following season. It's fair to say he wasn't really full speed until well after a year after the injury.
Plus, he's not a WR that is only good at going long.
He was full speed in 2005. He just blew out his sternum and only had 2.5 sacks. Then he chases down Ronnie Mex a few times, gets a wad of cash from Death and BOOM! has 16 sacks.
Bloom and G. Lewis starting WR....BOOK IT

I guess I shouldnt say anything, since I'm obviously not as brilliant as Childress and Foley. Or I'd have a job...zaaaah? What's that? Foley no longer has a job? Yeah, that's what I thought.
McMahon to McMullen! Super bowl or bust.
*yawn* Why don't they bring in a GM whose friends with Wilf, or better yet, his brother, while they're playing stack the organization with friends of friends who know a friend?
QuoteSounds like he might have a shot at pushing Travis Taylor, though. Sounds like he'd fit into a WCO fairly well
This guy is a genius. Hey, moron! Childress runs the WCO....Childres used to work for the Eagles who run a WCO...Wilbur was on the Eagles and played in the WCO.

Actually, if a player is contacted by another team while on the PS, he doesn't have to go. Case in point: In 2002, after Feeley was cut and waived a couple of times, the Eagles put him on the PS--the Bears wanted to sign him, but he told his agent he wasn't interested in leaving Philly--he was comfortable with the organization, his teammates, his coaches and the offense. Additionally, I couldn't see Baskett wanting to go back to Minny--by the interview he did in this morning's papers, he's disappointed in Minny trading him only after one minicamp. Another player with a chip on his shoulder.
As for McMullen, I think he took the wrong mental approach after the Cowboys' game in 2003 in Dallas. That was when, after falling behind 23-21, and getting a KOR to near midfield, the Eagles were trying to move into position to give Akers a shot to win the game. McMullen was in for an injured Pinky, was wide open on the left sideline, and McNabb hit him right in the numbers--only for him to drop it. According to Merrill on the radio broadcast, if he'd made the catch on the Cowboy 35, he had another 20 yards of clear sailing because no one was around him. Reid toook him out of that game and you didn't see him for the rest of the regular season. But, it seemed, instead of bucking up and showing what kind of reciever he could be, he just shrivelled up in the corner and was a non factor--lost his confidence.

As I already said, an argument for Burgess could be made... but he was in a contract year and only got 2.5 sacks during the regular season. He was much better in the playoffs, and he was MUCH better the following season. So, I think it took him well over a year to get back to 100%.
Jon Jansen doesn't rely on his speed like Pinkston did.
EDIT: Hilarious blurb from Les Bowen's article on this:
QuoteChildress, the Eagles' offensive coordinator until January, seems bent on collecting some of the most pungent reminders of the Birds' 6-10 2005 season. He'd already acquired quarterback Mike McMahon and guard Artis Hicks. (Psst, Brad - we can get you a good price on Dhani Jones and Greg Lewis. Act now and we'll get the Soul to throw in Todd France.)
I think it is very possibly that Greg is outta here
hes got that undrafted free agent label protecting him from being cut....he aint going anywhere

We'll throw in Josh Parry and Trey Darilek! Act now!
from his bio on the NM site...
..said he takes more pride in his blocking ability than anything else...
from the scouting report site...
Is not as good of a blocker as a guy his size should be...

I think it is very possibly that Greg is outta here
hes got that undrafted free agent label protecting him from being cut....he aint going anywhere
I don't think that has anything to do with it, in fact that is one of the dumber things you have ever said.

one of you searchmasters should pull up the old "eagles draft billy mcmullen" thread so we can read all the great things we said about him when he was drafted.
he's big
he ran the WCO in college so he should be able to jump right in
It's becoming very clear that some people fail to see the pure genius of Mr. Reid.
Andy to Brad..."Ok, ok, Brad, you can go for an HC job as long as you agree that no matter were you end up you take a bunch of our junk AND draft at least one player that we are in love with."
they tied him down and forced him to stare into banners swirly lollipop before he left

I must again point out that if they were truly in love with Baskett...
a. They wouldn't have used Artis Hicks to trade up in the 4th and get Avant.
b. They would have drafted Baskett instead of Omar Gaither or LaJuan Ramsey.
Obviously, they looked at the guy very closely, and they didn't really want him. Or, they were completely inept and didn't realize he was still on the board. Either way, Baskett is an extreme long shot to make the team this year or ever.
calm down
So, let me get this straight. You take exception with the draft a player we are in love with, but you believed the take a bunch of our junk stuff. My bad. I should have said,
"AND draft at least one player that we can get Spads to tell the fans that we were in love with."
Better now?

:-D well at least you are self aware.
Much better. Thanks.
Why does Spadaro insist that Greg Lewis is a lock to make this team?
If you figure that the first 3 WRs are Brown, Gaffney, and Pinkston, and Avant figures to make the team, what good does keeping Lewis, a player with an admittedly low ceiling, over someone like Baskett or McCants?

I don't think Pinkston is a lock to make this team at all. Not until he's able to get out on the field and drop a few balls at full speed. Then he'll be a lock.
I don't even consider Pinkston the #5 guy right now.
interesting comments from article on Baskett:QuoteBaskett is no stranger to Philadelphia. Prior to the draft he visited with Eagles personnel people and worked out for receivers coach David Culley.
"They were my only visit; they were my only workout," Baskett said.
I guess the airfare from New Mexico was too pricy for some teams.
QuoteBaskett doesn't expect a difficult transition period, especially after learning the X's and O's during a mini-camp last weekend in Minnesota.
"That's a plus knowing the systems may be somewhat similar," Baskett said. "I was able to learn all the plays within a couple days. I understood the system fairly quickly."
he's a freakin genius!

Just wait until the number restriction is lifted.
Those #66 McNabb butter joints are gonna fly off the shelves.
I dislocated my butter joint when I was a kid. It still acts up when it rains.

If Greg Lewis isn't axed we're going to hell in a Hank Baskett.

I'm shocked no one thought of that earlier :-D :-D :-D
Quote from Peter King in his MMQB article:
. I think, Billy McMullen, the message is pretty simple. When you're traded for a rookie free agent, a kid who wasn't even drafted -- which Philadelphia did with Minnesota the other day -- it's clear that the Eagles think you're hopeless. And you've got a Minnesota training camp to prove them wrong.

As of last year Greg Lewis was the fastest Eagle on the team...The fastest guy usually stays on the team IMO
greg lewis' speed is the biggest myth since pop rocks and coca cola

I agree. He must be one of those guys that can blaze without pads but his speed with pads or "game speed" is less than stellar. I didn't see him open deep once last year. That's saying something.
not only that but if he really was that fast doesnt he get drafted somewhere?
