the mcnabb injury and the abortion that this team has become has overshadowed this
but the treatment of rod hood by this team is absolutely disgraceful
the guy wants to be a starter in the nfl and test the open market to get paid....so he rejects what is most assuredly a lowball offer by banner...so what happens...the organization takes offense to this and black balls the guy....not only is this inexcusable in that youre hurting your own teams chances to win by not having your best players out there which is crime against the fans of the team...but youre blatantly trying to kill a guys chances at making the most money he can by sabotage his career
not only are you pissing your own players off by doing this but youre making your team look pathetic around the league possibly hurting your chances at getting future players to come to your club
what really gets me is the boldness and venom with which the eagles have done this...not even trying to hide or sugarcoat what they are doing to this guy...basically spitting in his face by telling him joselio friggin hanson is better when the exact opposite is true
So, is this thread about Rod Hood, or about the FO's ego in general?
all of the above
specifically the outright in your face awful treatment of this guy and the FO's actions in general
Are you surprised? This is the way they have treated everyone. The only hope is that Rod Hood actually gets a chance somewhere next year. He deserves it.
I think that they've proven to be right so often when they spurn players, so they feel they're almost always justified in doing it. I think they need a severe reality check. I say keep Heckert and Licht, and gut the rest of the organization and especially the coaches.

I agree. But what did Rod Hood do? Does anyone even know? He was injured for a little bit but other than that I hadn't heard anything. I didn't notice a decline in his play.
And yes get the fat farg out of here.
Are you surprised?
im surprised with the in your face nature of this one

if you dont want rod hood cause you dont think he good enough to resign then by all means let him walk they have every right to do so...but to black ball him and sit him for an inferior player is outrageous
Are they blackballing M-Lew too, or is his sucky pass coverage ass being benched?
they gave lewis a reduced role in which he wouldnt be put in a situation where he had to cover people which he clearly has a problem doing...are you saying thats the same as benching one of the best 3rd corners in the nfl for a guy who barely made the team and most likely wont be in the league next year
Lewis is still active for games, and gets on the field...
they decided to just deactivate their third best corner who is healthy
Yea Hood does not deserve to be treated in that way if IGY is indeed right about whats going on. Mike Lewis is garbage
What exactly did you eat before you pulled this stinker out of your ass? No question Hood pissed big red off and got benched out of spite - that is clear. But do you think for one second that there wasn't some other reason behind it - a reason that Rod Hood knew and understood - that his agent wouldn't be crying to every media outlet on the planet?
It is bad enough that we have to put up with your opinion - but this baseless speculation is just pathetic.

yeah, baseless speculation that Banner and Reid are vindictive when it comes to personnel decisions. what's your explanation for the fact that their 3rd corner was inactive?
The "Hanson was better in practice this week" excuse he gave yesterday sounded really fake when he said it, but if they benched a player for not accepting a contract, the NFLPA would be all over this in a second...
of course they never said that...but think about it, they just passed the deadline where contracts can be extended and count against this year's cap...all of the sudden Hanson is practicing better than Hood?
Playing Hanson over Hood isn't nearly as unforgivable as playing Will(iam) James (Peterson) instead.
Reid decided to help us not have to draw the line there by playing them both instead of Hood, though.
Like I said - I'm sure it was something that he said or did - pissed in Reid's cornflakes, blew a coverage in practice, whatever.
So, answer my question: if Hood was benched for no reason, explain to me why his agent isn't crying to the media? Why hasn't a grievence been filed with the player's union? Why would he waste his time playing nice with this team if they don't want him anyway?
Can't all of this just be thrown into a 'This coaching staff needs to be fired' thread?

there was a "reason"...because he didnt play well enough in practice...which we all know is BS...but how would one prove that...if it were a diciplinary measure as youre so blindly believing then he wouldnt have come out to the media and said he has no idea why he isnt playing...and reid has been asked directly on three different occasions why hood didnt play...if it was some diciplinary reason then he should have said its an internal team issue or rod was suspended but we wont say why...instead he said he didnt practice well enough....but he will come back out this week and work harder....so reid is either lying about why he was deactivated or he is just a vindictive POS...to be fair to reid tho it could have been banner/luries decision
Quote from: ice grillin you on November 20, 2006, 01:19:11 PM
...which we all know is BS...
See, that's just it - we have absolutely no farging idea what happened at practice. I am most inclined to believe that AR made an example of Hood for some stupid reason...but there is absolutely zero evidence that his contract came into play here. Again, if AR said he didn't practice well enough, why wasn't Hood standing up and saying "that's BS, I worked my butt off"?
He probably mouthed off in practice or took some plays off, and AR benched him to make an example - the type of bold move you keep calling for. But since AR didn't throw him under the bus in front of the press, it must be some evil scheme.
The more I think about it, the more the idea falls apart:
1) If he didn't do anything wrong, why isn't he/his agent making a stink?
2) If it is about the contract, why would this be a good move for the Eagles? If they are pulling BS just to hurt Hood's market value, why would they think Hood would still want to play in Philly?
"Blindly believing" seems to imply that someone put that option forward other than myself. I was just throwing out a wild-assed theory that seemed a bit more plausible than your conspiracy theory. Two quotes come to mind:
Occam's Razor (paraphrased): "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one."
Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."
When you have the choice between (A) a bull-headed, egomaniac coach overreacting to a practice situation and (B) a conspiracy theory involving mucking with a game plan to save a few bucks against next year's cap...I think I'll go with (A) Bob.

It's nothing new.
Why doesn't someone just ask Rod Hood why he thought he was benched?
That would pretty much solve everything...
1) If he didn't do anything wrong, why isn't he/his agent making a stink?
hes already stated he has no idea why he as benched...thats hes playing well and is not hurt...he also said 'i dont want to read in between the lines'...sounds like hes playing the good solider knows that he has six games left in philly and then hes a free man so why rock the boat and show potential suitors that hes a problem child
2) If it is about the contract, why would this be a good move for the Eagles? If they are pulling BS just to hurt Hood's market value, why would they think Hood would still want to play in Philly?
hood is NOT going to play in philly both sides know this...hes as good as gone...and because of that and hoods refusal to bow to the teams contract demands they are sticking it to him

"I didn't get any explanation," Hood said. "I guess I'm going to have to practice a little harder. ... If you look at the film, I definitely can't be blamed because I don't give up any balls. I don't give up any catches. I don't know what the reason is that I didn't dress."
That provides a much better inference of what the front office is doing.
i love how Rod Hood has turned into some kind of folk hero.
this has nothing to do with rod hood...hes as good as gone and even tho i think its terrible what they are doing to him in the end i dont much care about him...its what it says about this regime that concerns me...how can you tell me as a paying season ticket holder that youre not putting the best possible product in front of me
who turned him into a folk hero?
he's the third best corner on the team who was benched because they didn't want to mess up the "rotation"
you see nothing wrong with this?
he's the third best corner on the team who was benched because they didn't want to mess up the "rotation"
it wasnt that long ago when you could find a significant portion of people who said he might be the second best corner on the team
Reno Mahe got a carry yesterday, speaking of the "rotation". WTF was that about?
the defense on a whole sucks.
i dont think and player on this defense can make a case for not being benched
if they did it to make a statement about the defense as a whole (and id be all for that) then dont use the third cornerback who has been playing well as an example...shoot the secondary has been the bright spot on the defense
a bigger and more appropriate statement would be benching the golden boy DT who just signed an extension and is getting gashed on the regular
Patterson is still playing better than Darwin Walker and Brodrick Bunkley combined, sadly.
im playing better than bunkley yet somehow he is "getting better and better each week" and is struggling according to reid because "hes young"
arent all rookies young?

I think they'd all look like studs again if Kearse were healthy. We underestimate how much he brings to the table.
Did Reid get fired yet?
To deactivate him is garbage. The lame ass excuse that Andy offered up yesterday was even worse. I did not see Reid's PC today but I'm guessing that none of the hard hitting media followed up on this?
Like I said in the other thread - if they wanted to get Will James some playing time, that's fine. But you don't do it at the expense of Hood. You do it at the expense of Joselio Hanson. I'm even fine with James taking over the nickle role for a game to see what he has - but you keep Hood active for special teams and for dime packages.

Then, 7 years from now when it becomes obvious that none of the players are working hard under me and that I have no idea what I'm doing on the sidelines, at least my defenders will be able to say "What do you mean he's gone soft? Don't you remember when he stabbed that dude?!"

In coachspeak, that's not a very good endorsement at all. It's saying he sucks, without actually using those words.
Imagine if your girl was interviewed about how good IGY is in bed & she says..."he's getting better and better". I'd start checking for guys in her closet.
Is that situation actually purely hypothetical?

gargano is on right now sayin the rod hood thing is a huge deal in the locker room right now and the players are bordering on mutiny....the fact that he came back from the foot injury and then got benched over the contract thing
also the contract deals are a big issue in the room...giving all these young guys who havent proved anything and have lots of years left on their deals extensions is also rankling lots of players
he said its pretty ugly in there right now

Thats nice to hear.
Did he say who the ringleaders were of this mutinous group? I hate the bitching about contracts. Want a deal? Play ball well enough and you'll get one. If not from the Eagles from another squad.
Whatever happened to the Reid edict of not losing a job due to injury?
that only applies if you first accept a lowball contract offer from the team
Its ridiculous for the FO to even do that and to even expect Hood to sign a deal.
They know the deal with this type of situation already--they had the same situation with He Flag Me. A starting CB disguised as a nickle CB and being paid as a nickle CB. Why they are doing this to Hood is something that I just don't get.
The locker room is poison because the Eagles benched a guy over a contract dispute?
???
Hmmm... well that certainly explains their awful play during four out of the past five games. I mean, how can you possibly be expected to play to the best of your abilities when the contract squabbles of a back-up cornerback consumes your every waking moment?!
Also - I wonder if the guys who recently received millions of dollars in extensions are also on the verge of mutiny?

Thats what I don't like - these fools in the locker room who are acting out over this. Shutting up and playing football is more important. Well, at least in Philadelphia its not.
The Eagles FO is flat out wrong on this one. But for the players to be getting all uppity is wrong too.
I agree that the front office is acting stupidly. They're as wrong as they can be on this issue.
Still, if the players are going to use Rod Hood's situation as an excuse for their awful play (and I can only assume that they are) then they're nothing but bitchmade Hoydas.

if you are one of those people who hate on players who hold out even tho they are under ontract then you have to be equally if not more disgusted by the actions of the team in this case
to me tho the bigger issue is the coach is not putting the best players on the field simply out of spite...to me you get fired on the spot for doing that...its stealing from the fans....and is as unproffesional as you can get
and newsflash: just because the players are pissed off about whats going on with the shady dealings of the franchise doesnt mean they arent giving 100%...they have every right to be unhappy about what the gestapo in the FO is doing without being accused of unprofessionalism
I think the players are starting to judge Lurban and Reid on their body of work. This is just one more straw on the camel's back.
Ugh... did you just refer to the front office as the gestapo?
That's weak, IGY.
Call them unreasonable and petty. Call them cheap and unfair. But don't refer to them as nazi's. That's just plain wrong, bro.

1. I'm more disgusted with the team in this instance. I said it on Sunday and I'll say it again - Hood should have been in there for STs purposes alone. I'm fine with them if they wanna get a look at Will Peterson to see if he's their guy for next year. But Hood should still be out on that field in uniform. Hell, the FO should have known that Hood was outta here since last year. I've been saying that he's done in Philly since Brian Williams got that crazy deal from JAX.
2. Agreed.
3. If they are giving 100% and still play like they did on Sunday, then its ridiculous. To get whipped up and down the field by a Titans team while supposedly giving it their all is something that I don't believe. They are slacking.
sometimes i wish leonard tose would have gambled even more money away

Sure it is.
I disagree that this team isn't good. Hell, they have talent. Lots of it.
They're one of the dumbest teams ever assembled and a lot of them aren't playing to the best of their abilities. To me, when you start seeing that, it's a coaching issue.
This is exactly the kind of situation where a guy like Gruden would shine.
(Oh, and the FO isn't the Gestapo. They're more like the Kremlin.)
I don't think Reid is going to be canned because they've invested too much in him both from a financial standpoint and a public relations perspective to show him the door now but Lurie has to be wondering wtf is going on with the team just as we are.
Plus firing Reid would mean that Lurie would have to admit to screwing up.
I wonder what another team would give for Reid? Hell, Tampa gave up two first round picks for Gruden.
If I remember correctly, he admitted hiring Ray Rhodes was a mistake after he canned him.
I think the rich millionaire prick playbook only allows one act of contrition per lifetime, so we're stuck with Reid forever now.
Woot!
I think that the NFL set rules as far as draft pick compensation for coaches. I could be wrong but I thought I read something about that. I'll have to look it up.
Reid is signed through 2011. If he's fired that is a lot of money Lurie would have to eat. No shot on that, I'd guess
the only prayer of reid not coaching is if he were to step down and be a full time gm...or just quit take off a year then come back and coach somewhere else...hes clearly not gonna be fired

I think it did too. But when Herm went to KC the Jets got a 4th rounder. So maybe it was that teams could not trade away #1 picks.
BB,
That's assuming that Andy would go to OAK. I doubt he would. No one is going to go there unless they have a past with Al Davis. No one wants to work for him. If they were going to fire him they'd likely meet with him to negotiate a buyout. But this is all moot. This isn't going to happen. And I don't think it should. Not yet at least.
Remove the "final say" from him and give it to Heckert. That would effectively lessen his load a bit and allow him to only coach. Then have him make changes on his staff. Fire a few coaches and let the "new" GM do his thing.

The Eagles FO is flat out wrong on this one. But for the players to be getting all uppity is wrong too.
Like an uppity negro (or worse), right?
You used to hear "uppity" all the time during the pre-Civil Rights era - in reference to some black person who was somehow not docile, subordinate, or undignified enough for white people's taste. That word is still used relatively often in reference to a black person (especially in comparison to how often it is used in reference to a white person) - as you so clearly demonstrated. ::)
And yes, I know there are white players on the team - a few of them, anyway. But what was the predominant image you had in your mind when your mind retrieved the word "uppity"? A bunch of black guys, probably. That is the predominant image of the league, and the predominant image that people think of when they think of the players as a collective unit.
definitely...only black people can be "uppity". i just looked up the definition and it said so right there.

Of course white people can be "uppity" - but the word has such a history in connection with black people who didn't/don't "stay in their place" that it has definite racial connotations. It is similar to the dreaded n-word in that it is linked to an unfortunate period of brutal racial degradation, and it can definitely be taken as a racial insult.
And despite such atrocities as slavery, Manifest Destiny, colonialism, corporate sharks, and U.S. foreign policy...just compare the number of times that a black person has been referred to as "uppity" with the number of times that a white person has - and you'll come out with a figure something like 10,000,000 "uppity" black people for every 1 "uppity" white.
phreak meant no harm whatsoever but a better choice of words could have been used
especially in the way the rich white guys in the eagles front office treat their 'property'
their philosophy
young black players they try and get to sign on the cheap so they can be gettin over on them in a few years
old black players get kicked to the curb while the runyans and akers get deals well into their 30's
god forbid a young black guy want real money...if he does he gets blackballed and benched for no reason
not to mention their philosophy of getting mormons and so called good people before they get athletes...they dont want the loud 'uppity' black man on the team...they want the submissive house negro

Any time the word "uppity" is used in reference to a black person or black people, it justifies a closer look. That's the way things have been set up over the centuries - than even to this day, I've seen the questionable, double-standardish use of the word "uppity". It could be the Phreak is "the opposite of that kind of thinking" as Ice says - but it is not unjustified for a person who doesn't know Phreak from Dustin Diamond to come across this word and take offense.

What good would it do to commiserate on another board when the issue-in-question is
right here. If this were any other situation, I believe you would call that kind of behavior cowardly - like going running to mamma when the class bully calls you a name. If you don't want to hear about it, just cover your little ears and scream, or go crawl back into your hole.
DONE. Back to (occassionally) lurking! You make this place intolerable.
The only issue at hand is your continued presence.

GF's pretty much uppity all the time.
I'm not uppity. I'm keepin' it real. :(
I was uppity this morning. But then I kept it real when I got in the shower.
I was uppity as well. Uppity the ladder to put up Christmas decorations. :paranoid

My girl gets all up in my face when I do that.
I love it when threads take a turn for the worse.

The Eagles FO is flat out wrong on this one. But for the players to be getting all uppity is wrong too.
Like an uppity negro (or worse), right?
You used to hear "uppity" all the time during the pre-Civil Rights era - in reference to some black person who was somehow not docile, subordinate, or undignified enough for white people's taste. That word is still used relatively often in reference to a black person (especially in comparison to how often it is used in reference to a white person) - as you so clearly demonstrated. ::)
And yes, I know there are white players on the team - a few of them, anyway. But what was the predominant image you had in your mind when your mind retrieved the word "uppity"? A bunch of black guys, probably. That is the predominant image of the league, and the predominant image that people think of when they think of the players as a collective unit.
Thank you for your history lesson you farging bitch. Since Freddie Mitchell has no team and thus no team message board for you to go you're still here buggin the shtein out of us.
The fact that you even brought up race is disgusting. The fact that you brought it up over a word I used is even more ridiculous. I don't care what the history of a word is. I use that word all the time and mostly it is when I'm talking about some stuck up woman who acts like her shtein don't stink (see what I'm gettin at here?). And if you need a demographcal breakdown its the white soccer moms driving the Volvo's cuttin people off in the traffic while on their cellphones who are honored to be called uppity by me.
Your insinuation that I was thinking about a black person when I used that word is an insult to me and it proves that you are what we thought you were...a dumb bitch.

Even if true, none of this blather justifies your insinuation that a poster is making racist comments, or is intimating as much. Brother made a football comment, and you come in here like Jesse Jackson on PMS, making an ass of yourself.
Get the farg out.
Why it's Diomedes, the talking rat. You are such a waste, even as a rodent.
Any time the word "uppity" is used in reference to a black person or black people, it justifies a closer look. That's the way things have been set up over the centuries - than even to this day, I've seen the questionable, double-standardish use of the word "uppity". It could be the Phreak is "the opposite of that kind of thinking" as Ice says - but it is not unjustified for a person who doesn't know Phreak from Dustin Diamond to come across this word and take offense. I don't squat on this board so I don't really know many of the personalities all that well...except for those who have taken the time to distinguish themselves during the times I've been on here as demented jerk-offs, such as yourself. :boo
What's horrible is that you're importing meaning to a word when that meaning goes against the clear definition of that word. You're assuming that someone is using that word in a historical context that that person might be wholly ignorant about. What's worse is that the context of Phreak's sentence made no reference to the antebellum period or the reformation period in American history.
Uppity -- affecting an attitude of inflated self-esteem; haughty; snobbish.
Yeah, I forgot how oppressive that word is to black people... overly-sensitive idiot...
Thank you, Z.

I can't get the images of Denny Green out of my head now. :-D
Yeah, the words of Denny inspired me.
No prob, bro. Morons like that light a fire under me.
Don't worry, Phreak...the sane people here (the ones who don't resort to deconstruction to make a weak point) understood what you meant.
He meant what we thought he meant.
He always does. :sly
I was about to post something, but then I checked some game stats and saw that Billy McMullen caught a touchdown pass.
I figure that is response enough to any post on this MB.
