mash, mash, mash....score
The first game Reid coached against the Cardinals in '99 they did exactly that in the first quarter with Duce. They were dominating the Cardinals leading 21-0 before they pissed the game away in the end.

The man.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!
I would have loved to have seen him and Westy in the backfield together for the last few years except for the fact that Reid barely runs the ball enough for 1 rb let alone 2.
He is my favorite Eagle of all time. I'm not sure that's a good thing, but it's the way it is.
Always loved Duce, he just ran over people, or had them hanging off him. Good to see him back in green.

Ha. You'll be drunk as balls at halftime and won't remember a thing about it.
Get someone to videotape it for you.
PS: Got the $$ today.
Duce
Trot
Ike
Eric Allen
Dawk
Top 5 all timers for me.
great receiver too coming out of the backfield.
i forget which game it was but against the giants during the 9 game losing streak against them....there was a TD run he had where he seemed to be down and gang tackled by about 3 giants players...when somehow he just broke free.
it was awesome A+

Oh man do I miss Duce. I still get chicken skin when I think of that first and only Eagle td in the NFCCG against Tampa.
Since Andy got here, we've all gotten used to popular players leaving the team via FA and of all of them, Duce was the only one that really bothered me. I remember in '97-'98 when it was him and nothing else, with a jacked shoulder... carrying the team through the lean years.
It'll be good to have him back in green.
yeah he was amazing in 98...i think his best year....i remember the eagles letting watters go and thinking damn they are putting a lot of faith in a second year guy that didnt come with a lot of hype....duce promptly led the team in rushing AND receiving while getting brutalized on a pathetic 3-13 team
I was also bothered when they let Duce go. A lot.
Eh - at least he got a Super Bowl ring when he left. He deserved it after the beatings he took early in his career with some fairly awful football teams (97-99).

Amen.
Well, Trot leaving hurt me too. But Duce leaving hit me hard. Like Don said, that TD against TB still gives me chills. As does him PLOWING his way into the endzone in the game when McNabb busted his ankle. Duce dragged like 4 Cards into the endzone with him.

Tough to keep it to 5......so many favorites over the years. But here goes:
Tom Woodeshick
Wilbert Montgomery
Super Bill Bradley
Brian Dawkins
Timmy Brown
Tommy McDonald was actually my first favorite player, but had just departed the Eagles at the point I began following them, so I'll leave him off the list.
Duce is definitely on my honorable mention list, with about 30 others.
And Don Ho, do you remember Charle Young as a rookie in '73 scoring on an end around play against the Vikings? Unbelieveable run - he must have carried about half the Vikings defense (and this was back when they had one hell of a defense!) into the end zone with him. 8)
Hard to get all misty-eyed - especially after this season. Another retirement from another broken era. He did carry the day during a transitional period and he was a class act. And he got the typical Eagle send-off.
Love it when they retire with the ring from somewhere else.

I remember the play very well. He basically took the ball right up the middle, was bottled up and literally disapeared and then suddenly reappeared and took the to the right for something like a 15-20 yard score. I also remember Strahan intercepting a pass in OT and running it back about 80+ yards for the gw score. :puke

98 wasn't his best year statistically with just over 1000 yards rushing (1060something I think). His best year would have been in 99 when he ran for 1200+ yards. The amazing thing about the 98 season though was that he was able to run the ball at all despite the QB carosel of Hoying/Peete/Neckbeard plus he had a hernia for the final 8 weeks of the season.

very well! was that not also the game where Carmichael was called for "hurdling" over a viking defender? i loved that team with Roman Gabriel at QB. that was a great draft with young and seismore leading the way. also was Mike McCormick's downfall as he basically traded away every high draft pick we had for Bergey and some others. I don't think we had a number 1 pick until 1979 when Vermeil took Jerry Robinson out of UCLA.

You get young people drunk? If you ever make it to a game, I don't want to be there.
Yeah, but I do.

Ike, Cecil Martin, and BBitch were there:

it was a pathetic ceremony
they showed a highlight package while they got him off the field, so he couldn't even get one last ovation....awesome
Rip #22 off Joselio Hanson.

Yeah I didn't see it but it looks like it was half-assed.
it really was...starting with the fact they waited until Thursday to announce it.
i'm not asking for a huge deal or anything, but they couldn't wait to get Duce off the field so they could run their stupid promotional contest. it was sorry.
Anything to suck the hogs of the corporate sponsors, I guess.
I mean, who just couldn't WAIT to see some schmoe from Turkey Hill get a promotional jersey from Harold Carmichael, who when he does those things looks like he wants to stab the douchebag in the eye with a pencil.
I reached a new emotional low about this team today. It's almost apathy, but since I'm really pissed off about feeling that way, it's probably not quite.
The detached unemotional leadership in the front office of this team eats ass. The lack of talent is pathetic. The field doesn't even hold together.
ASS
Duce's Jacket is a true butta joint
yea it was a really zesty ceremony. nice to see duce again, but damn did bbitch put on the pounds
I couldnt figure out that Cecil martin was there
i refused to even watch it...i was on the concourse with 80% of the stadium...it was obvious from the moment they announced it that it was gonna be a disgrace
phreak you arent suggesting they retire duce staleys number are you?...please tell me youre not
Nope. I just dont like Hanson wearing it; plus I was in a shtein ass mood yesterday
I have to say I'm not the least bit surprised they did a half-ass job with Duce's ceremony. This team sinks to new lows in terms of shabby treatment of ex-players by the year.
I liked what they did for Reggie in 2005, but still, a little something more from them for Duce would have been nice.
Whatever, though.
New Ownership is what this team needs, get Croce involved

I think that's kind of funny that they gave Reggie such a nice ceremony but not Duce. You know, since Duce was a major factor in turning this franchise around and helping the current regime make all that extra money.
I'm glad that he got to retire as an Eagle but sorry that it sounds like the ceremony was rushed. Always loved #22.
If we kept everyone we kicked out but came back to retire as an Eagle, how many Superbowls would we have in our trophy case?
-6

I dunno, but I'm sure had the Eagles kept talented players like Mike Mamula, Levon Kirkland, Barry Gardner, Quinton Caver, James Thrash, Na Brown, Freddie Mitchell, Charles Johnson, Torrance Small and Bobby Hoying, we'd be looking lots of high 1st round draft picks.
And how many of those players did the Eagles braintrust draft in the first place?
Mamula, Gardner, Caver, Thrash (even though he was cut after being drafted), Brown, Mitchell, Hoying
Go team.
Exactly. Cutting them wasn't the problem, having them on the team in the first place was the problem. Dicks.
Thrash was an UDFA wasn't he?
Doesn't really matter... but I believe he was.
I got him confused with Kalu.

man i remember when they signed Kalu...he was supposed to be the next big DE accoring to the eagles.
i was so excited to play with him on madden.
