I dont know if I can make it this year. :-\
I think this might be the first camp in 12 years or so that I'll miss. Which is fine. Every year it seems like there are more people who go...which, of course, means it's worse every year.
actually attendance has gone down every year since TO
last year tho you couldnt tell cause camp was so short that the crowds werent spread out like normal
I don't care how many total people they get over time...just how many are there when I go. And there increasingly copious amounts of idiots. Try to hit a weekend these days and you're getting slammed. When I first started to go, it was a handful of other actual fans, me and the Eagles...which was great.
i go for a weekend or two every year
its never gonna be like west chester again
the douchebag factor is way worse than the actual number of people
I love how they push you through the 98 degree merchandise tent no matter where you wanted to go.
they are doing something right i ALWAYS browse and sometimes my dumb ass buys stuff i know i dont want or need
The only thing I ever bought there was last year when they had Don McPherson jersey hanging in that pile of used game and practice jerseys.
you talking about that one throwback rack they always have....i always look thru there
Yep. They usually rip the names off, but this one still had it...I should get McNabb to sign it.
i was just gonna say i almost always buy one of the blanks but cant bring myself to spend that much money in the tent plus i dont think they are authentic...i cant remember what is wrong with them but arent there not eagles on the sleeves or something pretty agregious like that
They are usually practice jerseys. which is why they have nothing but numbers on them. 1 in 20 is a game jersey from some mid 90's preseason game.
I'm running errands that day.
what does spadaro have you doing this year?

I'll be there this Sunday. I'll report what I see but don't expect any Phreak level detail.
I'm really sad that I can't make it up there this year. This is one of my favorite times of the year and there was nothing better than going up there and spending all day watching practice.
:'(
Scott Young Update:
Specifically for rjs...Andy said Scott would be there. And he said it with disgust in his voice too. Pull a Hegamin on his ass, Andy.
Also...
Reid has started a "30 + club" where he will give guys who are over 30 years old time off. The morning practice following two full day workouts those guys will get to sit out and chill. He told the media about this in response to a question about Tra, Runyan and Dawk's age.
King Dunlap is one big sonofabitch.
yes son he is, kids gonna show ya'll something. just like i said last year akeem jordan was gonna be a stud now dont deny my rightness with the king. represent.
I'm rooting for Joe Mays. You care.

you guys are neat
So, how's King looking in 1x1's?
As expected, Donovan McNabb (shoulder) participated as the Eagles began preliminary training camp workouts on Tuesday morning.
McNabb reportedly looked "healthy and enthusiastic." He may be on a pitch count until September, but is healthy and a good bet to improve on his 19-7 TD to INT ratio from last year. Despite 2007's speculation about Kevin Kolb, expect McNabb to have strong job security barring an extremely poor start.

Laws, Bryan Smith, and Ike put on PUP
Andy says that Laws and Smith will be able to practice soon, but putting them on PUP makes them ineligible for the first 6 games of the year.
Except for Ikeguowwuwnowou, this sounds a lot like Gocong's "stinger" rookie year.
There's plenty of "depth" on the line until those guys are ready and eligible to play. I was just scurred at first that you were talking about L.J.
sorry to scare you fella
Jesus farging christ. So two of their top picks for this year are PUPed? Nice farging drafting team. fargers.

and i'm not so sure about their depth on the DL, they were expecting Laws to contribute this year
That's what they said. Did you believe them?
silly me, expecting a 2nd round defensive lineman to play this year when they don't have a legitimate backup
I hear Montae Raegor has an awesome eyeball.
For all the people who's panties are twisted over this, putting him on PUP at the start of camp doesn't mean he's automatically ineligible for the first 6 games. If's he's on PUP when the season starts, that's true, but since he starts TC on PUP, he can be activated at any time.
QuoteThe Physcially Unable to Perform (PUP) list allow teams to designate players as such. Once they are designated, they are prohibited from practicing with the rest of the team. The player can, however, rehabilitate and participate in team meetings. If a player begins training camp on the PUP list, they can be moved to the active roster at any time, even after one practice. A player is not allowed to be placed on the PUP list if they start training camp on the active roster.
A player who begins the season on the PUP list must sit out his team's first six games. After that point, the player is allowed to practice with the team through Week 10 of the NFL season, and can be activated any time within that window. If the player is not activated by Week 10, he must stop practicing and is unavailable to be moved to the active roster for the remainder of the season.

Yep. As long as they havent had an official practice they can go on the PUP list and come off whenever.
It wouldnt have happened at all if there camp rosters weren't cut back to 80 players.
Phew - I'm going to go back to NFLShop now and order my Laws jersey.

what were they originally?
85 since the last CBA, and before that it was pretty unlimited and just had to get down to certian numbers by certian dates.
The reason teams could carry more than 80 before was the existence of NFL Europe.
from the emb practice blog....
9:56 AM - "BALL! BALL!" Sean Considine picks up an incomplete pass and goes the other way with it. The ball was clearly not caught, but the idea is improving on 2007's terrible turnover output - not letting any ball go.
Damnit... we're screwed.
haha, that's so terrible
I mean, seriously... are we really to the point where we're supposed to get hyped over "almost" plays in TC??
Considine's going to play fumblerooski on every down now? Nice. Cut him.
wow, im embarrassed that even got retyped.
How was his bubble?

Cole taking golf swing...Wost Manneans wearing a tuxedo shirt...
Hey, replace the brown with pink, and that picture of Cole swinging a club probably looks a lot like you. Since you dress like a scrub too, fruity.
Me and killa, sacred hearts.
Tuxedo shirt and two melons. That dude knows how to party.
I'll just lump all the reports in here:
QuoteThe most significant moment of the first morning of full-contact drills at Eagles' training camp was little-noticed by the Lehigh crowd. In a noncontact 7-on-7 drill just before 10 a.m., Asante Samuel limped off. Samuel and Eagles athletic trainer Rick Burkholder walked to the locker room.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said the Birds' $57 million free agent signee strained the opposite hamstring from the one that kept him out of the final week of minicamp work last month. "We'll just see how he does with that," Reid said.
Suddenly, Lito Sheppard didn't have to rotate in with the first-team defense; he was back at his old left corner spot.
"That's just until the man gets back healthy," Sheppard said
Samuel, who had been scheduled to appear in the news conference tent Saturday, canceled his appearance. Reid typically asks injured players not to detail their situations.
A hamstring injury is not earth-shattering, unless it lingers.
"Gingerly, but he was able to walk off. That's a good sign," free safety Brian Dawkins said.
Fullback Luke Lawton and left tackle Tra Thomas left late in practice with cramps. Team president Joe Banner said nothing was new in the Shawn Andrews situation. The Eagles' starting right guard has not reported to camp. He was scheduled to meet today with agent Rich Moran.
"It is a personal situation," Banner said. "We want to respect his privacy."
Asked if Andrews is being fined, Banner said: "We'd like to keep that internal as well."
God forbid they actually release information about the team.
iceholes.
Wait. Banner is actually staying mum and not taking the opportunity to trash talk the absent player?
He must have gotten some this morning. Probably from Westbrook's agent.
i bet manneans got attacked with a quickness running up into camp like that with watermelon
am i the only one who noticed jon runyan is wearing those gay as rubber clog shoes? i guess runyan can get away with it
They are supposed to be comfortable as anything, but they are ugly as mud. They look like prison issue flip flops.
Went up to camp today, morning practice was outside, afternoon practice inside because of the rain.
QBs - Mcnabb looked his usualy self. Didn't notice any pain in his throwing motion. Was as mobile as ever
Kolb completed a beautiful 30 yard pass to Booker who was running down the sideline. What made it so nice was he laid the ball in between two defenders. Other than that Kolb struggled today. He had Deshean Jackson wide open during 7 on 7 drills but didn't see him. Someone in the crowd yelled 'Open your eyes Kolb'. Overall he didn't have a good day
RBs - Westbrook is just unbelievable. Clearly the best football player on the team. Had a nice 70 yard run during live drills
Booker reminds me of Warrick Dunn, has great hands. I can see him being a big part of the offense this year, especially in the passing game
Buckhalter looked really good. Great burst on a couple of runs.
From what I saw Moats won't make the team. He just wasn't impressive. Same goes for Tony Hunt, he's just too slow.
OL - King Dunlap is huge. He towered over Tra and Runyan which isn't easy to do. He had an okay day.
MJG did a decent job in Andrews spot. Westbrook ran through his hole on his TD
Justice looked good, noticed him most in pass protection, seemed to be getting lower with his blocks.
Rest of the line looked the same.
TEs - Kris Wilson sucks. I doubt he makes the team. Couldn't catch a cold.
LJ looked good
Celek will make the team but he's slow
Schoebel was meh
WRs - Curtis failed to impress. He dropped a couple of passes and was having a hard time getting open
Reggie Brown looked really good. Showed some nice hands on a couple of grabs
Deshean Jackson has blazing speed. Took a reverse but was leveled by Dawk. I can definitely see Jackson having an impact this year. Maybe 30 catches
Avant is looked good. Baskett was interviewed and said he came in at 210, down 20 lbs. The coaches wanted him leaner.
DL - Patterson gained about 20-30 lbs. I had field passes and someone mentioned the coaches wanting him to bulk up during the offseason. I figured he gained it from having the munchies. He and Bunkley are clearly the starters. Klecko lined up at DT, didn't do much from what I saw. Didn't notice Reagor or Van Oehoffflffflin much either. Trevor Laws and Bryan Smith walked behind us at one point.
Darren Howard looked really lean and made some nice plays in the backfield. Looks like a totally different player. Juqua Parker and Cole lined up as the starters. Clemons made a nice play in the flat but he was lining up with the 2nd and 3rd teams. Abiamiri had a nice push and made a couple of tackles.
LBs - Gaither is the vocal leader. Bradley dropped a INT during 7 on 7s. Anything that was dropped or tipped the Lbs were all over it. Mays made a nice stick at one point.
DBs - Considine stood out today. Hard to believe, but he made a real nice hit on Lawton in the backfield and blew up a few other plays. Looks like he might have bulked up a little.
Dawk is still the man. He looked as good as ever.
JR Reed looked really good and fast.
Didn't get a chance to see Demps in action
Lito looked good, you could tell he's carrying a chip on his shoulder. He was vocal today. He stayed step for step with Deshean Jackson on a sideline route.
Hanson looked good as did Sheldon Brown.
That's pretty much it. I tried to stick to starters, draft picks and fringe players. Also Brian Baldinger was there with NFL Films taping a segment about training camps. He does a weird thing by putting his gum in the back of his ear when he's on camera then back in his mouth when he's off. Baldinger joked with Banner about how physical the camp was. Banner made some comment about not being popular or something. Stood next to Ike Reese and Les Bowen for a majority of the practice.

That happened during live drills - I think it was 1st O vs. 2nd D. There was a mad pile up and Abiamiri made a nice play to seal the edge and clog the hole. When he got up I could tell he was favoring his arm or hand. He stayed in there though.

Mays reminded me a little bit of Sam Mills. He looks shorter than 5'11 and has that compact body and likes to stick his nose into the play. He puts the type of hits on that you can hear from the parking lot.
les bowens camp report from this morning

Westbrook Wants Deal Done Before Season
Brian Westbrook remains intent on getting is contract restructured sooner rather than later. Westbrook, in his first news conference of training camp, was asked if he would participate in the first preseason game, Aug. 8 at Pittsburgh, Westbrook said he would cross that bridge when he came to it.
"That's what I'm counting on," Westbrook said, when asked if he wanted the deal done before the start of the season. "I don't have a deadline right now ... I want those guys to be able to work through something. Hopefully, it happens some time soon."
Westbrook also acknowledged that salary cap rules make it hard to rework his current contract, which runs through 2010. The cap situation will be explained a little more thoroughly in Tuesday's Daily News. Long story short, the Birds converted a payment to Westbrook earlier this year from a roster bonus to a signing bonus, which was something both sides had agreed to do. If there's another adjustment in Westbrook's salary within a year of that move, it can't change his total cap figure for the remaining three years of his deal. Other rules make it hard for the team just to give him a large lump sum payment.
"I think they can abide by those rules and get a contract done," Westbrook said. "It's an obstacle, of course, but working together with them and the NFLPA, they can get it done."
Eagles president Joe Banner said Monday nothing is new in the Shawn Andrews absence. Westbrook said he had talked with Andrews and hopes to see him in camp soon.
The morning workout was the first in which most over-30 veterans were excused, after practicing twice a day for two days. Backup QB Kevin Kolb looked much sharper, throwing to first-team receivers. Rookie wideout DeSean Jackson "tweaked" the hamstring he injured last month in minicamp and spent some time working with injured players on the side. Jackson didn't leave the field and it seemed unlikely he would be sidelined long.
Defensive end Victor Abiamiri, who is being given a chance to win a starting job, has suffered a setback in that effort. Abiamiri injured his right wrist Sunday and apparently will be out a while.
Linebacker Rocky Boiman sat out with a lower leg contusion. Trevor Laws (foot), Bryan Smith (hamstring) and Asante Samuel (hamstring) also missed the drills.
Crunch Time
Three fights at the morning practice and Jon Runyan isn't even on the field? What are the odds?
Runyan's 30-plus club membership gave him the morning off. Replacement Winston Justice, whose fire has been questioned by radio host and former Eagle Hugh Douglas, was in the middle of one scrum, swinging at both linebacker Omar Gaither and safety Quintin Mikell.
"No, I don't," Justice said, when asked if enjoyed mixing it up. "It's not football. You don't want to go out there and box people, you want to play football. Even though I can box, too." Justice worked with a boxing trainer to stay in shape when he was suspended from the USC team for a year.
Justice wasn't sure who he tangled with. "There were, like, four people there. I can't name 'em. I was just hittin' whoever I saw," he said.
Mikell was a repeat pugilist, after going at it with wideout Mike Gasperson in the day's first bout.
In the to-and-fro of shoves and punches, Mikell ended up running into massive right guard Max Jean-Gilles. "I was running toward the pile and all of a sudden, I saw nothing but green," Mikell said, referring to Jean-Gilles' jersey.
"The linemen were trying to clean up the pile," Mikell said, referring to Runyan's favorite tactic, blasting latecoming tacklers. "We like it when it's in the game, not out here."
* The nonfight play of the day was a gasp-inducing scamper by Lorenzo Booker, who got a lot of reps, with Westbrook sitting out contact drills (the 28 3/4s club?). Booker turned the left corner, faked, bobbed and dazzled his way through the secondary, running out of a Sean Considine tackle en route to a 60-yard touchdown.
*Stewart Bradley laid a nice lick on Tony Hunt.
* With Booker flanked wide right, Kevin Kolb threw underneath him to a wide-open L.J. Smith.
Like:
-the way Westbrook is dealing with the contract situation
-the explanation of the difficulties with the CBA
-teammates calling Andrews
-DeSean Jackson, Max Jean-Gilles, Quentin Mikell
-the potential of Westbrook/Booker to create matchup problems
Don't Like:
-Abiamiri. I don't think he's going to amount to anything more than Brandon Whiting.
-that Westbrook "hopes" to see Andrews soon
-all the hamstring problems across the board
-Sean Considine, Mike Gasperson, Tony Hunt
Where the farg did the pickle juice go?
Turned out to be a dislocated bone in Abiamiri's wrist. Spadaro says 2-3 weeks, but it could be as much as 6...
spadaros a bitch stillupfront's mom
andy is on wip and just said dislocated bone AND torn ligaments...said it probably isnt season ending but is "going to be quite a while"
Just rub some pickle juice on it and get back in there.
rub it in spadaros pusssie juice...cure all!
why does a DE need his wrist?
answer: he doesn't.
get in there and work, Hoyda.
A plaster cast would probably help him hurt offensive linemen. Do it.
Spad's afternoon practice notes:
Quote4:00 PM - Andy Studebaker shows his versatility, taking some reps with the third team as a defensive end.
3:55 PM - Chris Clemons, anxious to get into the backfield, jumps offsides. I'll take this minute to introduce you to the nickel defense. Sheldon Brown lins up inside, with Joselio Hanson filling in for Asante Samuel. Chris Gocong goes to the sidelines, and here's the D-Line from left to right: Clemons-Parker-Patterson-Cole.
3:52 PM - Bam Childress gets his hands on the ball and - WHAM. Kyle Arrington just levels him. Remember, this is not a full-contact practice. "You the one asking for that, Bam!" Lito Sheppard yells. From across the field, Greg Lewis mocks Lito.
3:47 PM - Take note - Trevor Laws is taking reps with the second team.
3:40 PM - Seven-on-seven scrimmage and the first play is a flea flicker from Donovan McNabb to Kevin Curtis.
3:33 PM - Here come the one-on-one battles: Mike McGlynn vs. Kimo von Oelhoffen, the rookie against the vet and McGlynn was able to hold his own very well. He has a strong base and positions his hands well on his opponent. King Dunlap held Darren Howard when he tried to come inside but Howard was able to use his speed on the outside. Gocong took some reps with the defensive line vs. Stefan Rodgers and showed his quick spin and agility. Trevor Laws was the most impressive out of this group, maybe because he is fresh. He showed a nice spin move, rip, swim, you name it going up against Scott Young.
3:25 PM - Brent Celek makes a nice diving catch over the middle on a 20 yard post route.
3:21 PM - The defense is bringing out the blitz packages. They've been rather conservative with these in the full-contact practices, but they're bringing them here in shorts.
3:20 PM - Almost a great catch here. Remember that insane grab Kevin Curtis made in Minnesota last year? He almost duplicates it on Brian Dawkins here, but Dawkins just gets enough of the ball to throw off his concentration.
3:19 PM - Omar Gaither seems to be going full-out in shells even if no one else is. He blasts right through the middle to put pressure on McNabb.
3:12 PM - A lot of people have been asking me about Kevin Kolb's deep ball. Earlier in camp, you couldn't get a read on the guy. But he seems to have gotten a little more consistent. This ball he tosses on a flea flicker is a perfect dart to Reggie Brown. On the next play, Kevin Curtis catches a beautiful deep ball, this one from A.J. Feeley.
3:11 PM - Kevin Curtis seems a lot surer of his footing today, after the muddy conditions really screwed him up yesterday. He makes a nice cut back inside, then pulls in a McNabb pass.
3:05 PM - Horn. Group drills are under way.
3:04 PM - Linebackers and defensive backs work on coverage and defensive signal calls.
3:01 PM - Fullback's and running backs work on blocking. It doesn't matter how good a runner you are, if you can't pick up a blitz you won't be on the field.
2:57 PM - The defense does something called "fire drill" which strictly focuses on turnovers.
2:52 PM - The field conditions are much improved from this morning. The puddles and mud affected a lot of the players footing but this is football, preparing for the elements is a necessary part of the game. The tempo is quick. Players either sprint or jog quickly from one drill to the next.
2:47 PM - The members of the "30 plus club" are back on the field, wearing shorts along with the rest of the team, after they had the morning off.
2:41 PM - Hey everyone, almost time for the afternoon session. One big note: defensive tackle Trevor Laws is practicing for the first time in training camp. We'll keep you updated on his progress.
Phreak get your journalist ass up to camp! I can't stomach this Spewdaro shtein.
Damn, this was a big year for Abiamiri to try and make an impact. Hopefully this injury doesn't lead him down the path of McDouglization.

Spad's afternoon practice notes:
Quote4:00 PM - Andy Studebaker shows his versatility, taking some reps with the third team as a defensive end.
3:55 PM - Chris Clemons, anxious to get into the backfield, jumps offsides. I'll take this minute to introduce you to the nickel defense. Sheldon Brown lins up inside, with Joselio Hanson filling in for Asante Samuel. Chris Gocong goes to the sidelines, and here's the D-Line from left to right: Clemons-Parker-Patterson-Cole.
3:52 PM - Bam Childress gets his hands on the ball and - WHAM. Kyle Arrington just levels him. Remember, this is not a full-contact practice. "You the one asking for that, Bam!" Lito Sheppard yells. From across the field, Greg Lewis mocks Lito.
3:47 PM - Take note - Trevor Laws is taking reps with the second team.
3:40 PM - Seven-on-seven scrimmage and the first play is a flea flicker from Donovan McNabb to Kevin Curtis.
3:33 PM - Here come the one-on-one battles: Mike McGlynn vs. Kimo von Oelhoffen, the rookie against the vet and McGlynn was able to hold his own very well. He has a strong base and positions his hands well on his opponent. King Dunlap held Darren Howard when he tried to come inside but Howard was able to use his speed on the outside. Gocong took some reps with the defensive line vs. Stefan Rodgers and showed his quick spin and agility. Trevor Laws was the most impressive out of this group, maybe because he is fresh. He showed a nice spin move, rip, swim, you name it going up against Scott Young.
3:25 PM - Brent Celek makes a nice diving catch over the middle on a 20 yard post route.
3:21 PM - The defense is bringing out the blitz packages. They've been rather conservative with these in the full-contact practices, but they're bringing them here in shorts.
3:20 PM - Almost a great catch here. Remember that insane grab Kevin Curtis made in Minnesota last year? He almost duplicates it on Brian Dawkins here, but Dawkins just gets enough of the ball to throw off his concentration.
3:19 PM - Omar Gaither seems to be going full-out in shells even if no one else is. He blasts right through the middle to put pressure on McNabb.
3:12 PM - A lot of people have been asking me about Kevin Kolb's deep ball. Earlier in camp, you couldn't get a read on the guy. But he seems to have gotten a little more consistent. This ball he tosses on a flea flicker is a perfect dart to Reggie Brown. On the next play, Kevin Curtis catches a beautiful deep ball, this one from A.J. Feeley.
3:11 PM - Kevin Curtis seems a lot surer of his footing today, after the muddy conditions really screwed him up yesterday. He makes a nice cut back inside, then pulls in a McNabb pass.
3:05 PM - Horn. Group drills are under way.
3:04 PM - Linebackers and defensive backs work on coverage and defensive signal calls.
3:01 PM - Fullback's and running backs work on blocking. It doesn't matter how good a runner you are, if you can't pick up a blitz you won't be on the field.

Mays reminded me a little bit of Sam Mills. He looks shorter than 5'11 and has that compact body and likes to stick his nose into the play. He puts the type of hits on that you can hear from the parking lot.
My kind of player. A head crackin motherfarger.

QuoteINJURY UPDATE: Head coach Andy Reid updated second-year defensive end Victor Abiamiri's wrist injury Tuesday, saying Abiamiri is currently in surgery and an accurate timetable for his return will be determined when he gets out.
Abiamiri had been competing for a starting defensive end spot opposite Trent Cole, but the injury suffered on Sunday morning could prove to be a major setback. Reid said the worst-case scenario for Abiamiri would be a four-month recovery, but a best-case scenario could not be determined until later.
they need to IR abiamiri and move on...he isnt even close to good enough to warrant holding a roster spot for
Here's how it's going to play out:
He'll start the season on the PUP list, and they'll tell us he should be ready to return during the eligible period of the season. However, he obviously will not return and will then be put on IR.
Just gathering this from what I read I guess they'll give it a few days to see how his wrist responds to the surgery then make their assessment. 4 months is the worst case scenario.
Just from what I saw at camp I think Howard has a chance to contribute this season.
Lovely
QuoteLEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. (CBS 3) ¯ CBS 3 has learned recently acquired Defensive End Chris Clemons has been rushed to the hospital after collapsing at Eagles Training Camp.
Clemons, 26, was initially carted off the field and taken to the field house where he was hooked up to an IV to be treated for what appears to be heat-related dehydration.
An ambulance then transported Clemons to Lehigh Valley Hospital and a car with Andy Reid followed.
That can't be good

ill give the eagles a chance to make a nice little run such as the one in 2006 but once that is not possible they need to implode...the worst possible scenario for this year is for both carolina and the eagles to finish with 7-9 wins each

True, but without Abiamiri AND Clemons, you go from suspect to violently awful. It's one thing to be average or middle of the pack, but totally another to have one of the worst DL's in the NFL.
Considering Andrews won't show up to camp and the rash of injuries they suffer every year, maybe it's time to ease up just a little. Baldinger commented in his training camp footage that the Eagles hit earlier than anyone else and had the most physical practice of all the teams he's seen. Not to mention, it's hot as hell out right now.

If there is anything that can be learned from last season, its that any team has a chance if it can stay healthy. The Giants weren't even the best team in the NFC, but they stayed healthy for the most part and brought home a Lombardi.
Starting off this way, its tough to see them making a run which is why its so frustrating. Lito, Andrews, Westbrook are all distractions and now injuries are popping up. farg man...I waited 9 months for this??

Not trying to start an argument but I don't know why people say this. They beat TB in TB, GB at Lambeau, and the Cowboys in Dallas. And if that wasn't enough they beat a team that was 18-0 to win the Superbowl. Maybe they weren't the best team for the duration of the regular season but when push came to shove they proved to be the best team when it mattered the most.

i absolutely give them a chance to make the playoffs...its way to early to make any huge predictions...and i hope they do make it but i also dont consider just making the playoffs to be creating a lot of noise
mainly im saying two top ten 2009 picks would be awesome
also the inuries they have had are pretty insignificant...i have never seen anything in abiamiri...he was just the front offices soup du jour of this camp...the guy they single out to say how good he looks and how much better he is this year than last and blah blah blah...
clemons will be back at practice before the end of the week
im way more worried about the distractions from the players you mentioned than i am any injuries (so far)

absolutely agree....people forget also that they won six games in a row into the bye week...so they were real good early and real good late...they had a streak of .500 ball there for a while...which people turned into some sort of monster slump...the minnesota game (like 50-10 or something) made everything seem worse than it really was with them

well they arent the gold standard that the eagles are but then again who is
maybe new england
I think it's hilarious when players come from other teams and usually end up throwing up or passing out during practice.
It also offers insight into why potential quality free agents seem to run screaming when the Eagles call at 12:01 AM.
i love the way andy runs camp...the injury thing is bullshtein...players get hurt just as much running as they do getting tackled...so unless your entire camp consists of just walk thrus youre gonna have injuries

yeah theres nothing to lose
he comes free and cheap
and knowing one more farg up is most likely his career
most importantly hes got mad talent at a skill position the eagles could really use some at
henry
westbrook
djack
lobooker
all of a sudden you got a top notch talent base on offense
Don't forget L.J. And whitey (Curtis) and Reggie Brown have some skills as complementary guys.
im talking about big time talent...the kind you have to gamplan for...lj is borderline in that dept and reggie and curtis are not even close
People won't be gameplanning for DeSean this year - well, not on offense.
Including Lorenzo Booker in that list is a tad premature.
there is a 0% chance Andy takes a chance on a guy whose been arrested 35 times in the past 4 months.

I don't know what to think about Henry. The only thing I know is that there's no shot Reid brings him in. The sheer mention of his name in the Novacare Complex and Reid, Banner, Lurie and personnel guru Howie Roseman all get the gas face at once.
But I do agree with igy on Booker. They may have found something there.
Of course they found something.
Something awesome, baby!

Bake 'em some cookies, go interview them and keister some heroin in for Garrett.
Henry is a complete farging disaster, who has proved nothing in the NFL except how to get into big trouble. He's already broke, suspended for 4 games, why the farg would the Eagles want that. Why would the fans?

Rome, that might be your best post ever. LOL
Per Spads' column; Dawk is nursing a hyperextended knee, but should be ok.
Pago Togafau is the 2nd team MLB and is playing well
Darren Howard looks good
Jason Davis is the leading candidate at FB
KVH has a bum knee and Klecko is taking a lot of reps there (up to 285 now)
Westbrook - Booker - Buck have the top three spots on lock (no shtein?) but Hunt is playing well and will see a lot of PS action but is no lock to make the team.
Moats is hurt again (ankle)
Scott Young is the 3rd team center
MJG is playing good...Herremans is still the LG...Dunlap playing LT and Winston playing RT on the 2nd team.
Kris Wilson is the 4th TE.
I think Jason Avant is going to have a pretty damn good season. He is exactly what they need as a chain-moving inside the hashes type guy. Now that he's healthy (and he looks jacked too) I think he will put together a solid season. Maybe 50 catches or so.
god your optimism scares me. im intrigued to do an igy style "root for my team to lose" bet with you so i can get some cash.
Good God why, Jay?
WHY?
:-D
Why the re-hash of Spads or why the love for Avant?
I just have a feeling he's going to go off.
FIGHT ME NOW!
I was referring to the Spadaro thing but the Avant lunacy works too. The only reason he's still on the team is because the Eagles refuse to admit yet another receiver they drafted is a bust.
He was hurt last year. Sports hernia and played through it.
He'll never be a burner and he won't do much lined up outside. But he can be very effective as a 3rd down/slot guy and maybe even a redzone guy working in with the LBs. He's bulked up some.
Right. He's gonna be the next Cris Carter. Gotcha.
Negatory, my friend. Carter was an outside guy.
Avant will be like Freeman in his later days when he worked the slot well. Underrated but effective.
Cris Carter was a slot receiver, dummy.
I hate Tony Hunt.
Hopefully after this they never ever try to draft a big back again.
I could have sworn that he was mainly an outside guy...
Anyways...IGY's hearth throb said today "I'm just a pup in this league, but I want to be a dog"....

fair enough i just dont give a farg about what players do off the field...i care about winning...im not suggesting they give up anything for a player like henry...i wouldnt trade a first round pick for someone like that...but id sure as hell take a chance on them
well i'd prefer my players not get shot while holding a machete in their bedroom but overall i agree about off the field stuff.
Hell, you can't blame the guy for wanting to farg some 13 year olds, plying them with drink in the back of his car. Who wouldn't?
To be honest, I really don't give a shtein about their off field activities either. But Henry's are getting him suspended, meaning it's affecting his on field activities. And he can't seem to stop. Therefore, he's useless.

This is my problem with Henry. The guy is actually a VERY talented WR... who would've been starting if the Bengals didn't have 2 pro-bowl caliber WR's on the roster.
But... like others have pointed out, he's already got 4 games he has to serve on suspension and his off the field crap directly affects his on the field availabilty... and nothing suggests that he's a change man at this point. I'd be nervous as hell every Mon-Sat wondering if he's gotten himself into some more shtein.
No thanks.

QuoteBooker looks to ex-teammate for return tips
By GEOFF MOSHER
The News Journal
BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Jets kick returner Leon Washington, a Pro Bowler, should expect a call from his former teammate soon.
Lorenzo Booker, who played with Washington at Florida State, is hoping to catch some good advice from Washington before Booker returns his first kickoff Friday against Pittsburgh in the team's first preseason game.
"The guy is as good at kick returns as anybody to me," Booker said Sunday after practice at Lehigh, "so, from that standpoint, I can't think of anyone better."
Washington averaged 27.5 yards per return and scored three touchdowns last season. Booker has never returned a kick in the NFL.
Still, special teams coordinator Rory Segrest said Friday that Booker is auditioning as the unit's top return man, with rookie wideout DeSean Jackson and rookie safety Quintin Demps also taking reps, as well as safety J.R. Reed and running back Correll Buckhalter.
"He's a guy that has great speed -- great speed and great vision," Segrest said. "One thing we were questioning there was whether or not he'd be able to break tackles, and he's shown out here during live practice sessions that he is capable of breaking tackles.
"It's obviously a little bit different on the kick return aspect of it. You've got guys flying around coming downhill at him, but we feel like he could definitely get the job done there."
Jackson is the top candidate to return punts, and Segrest hopes Jackson's reputation as a burner forces the opponent to game plan against him.
"With DeSean, we have the ability to stretch the field a little bit, hopefully get teams to overplay and hopefully get some seams there," he said.
Wounded birds
Running back Brian Westbrook shook off flu-like symptoms and strep throat to partake in some team drills during the morning, but he left when the team went to live practice.
Cornerback Lito Sheppard left the morning practice before live action with a groin tweak. Safety Sean Considine remained sidelined with an oblique strain, as did defensive tackle Kimo von Oelhoffen with a knee injury.
Matt Schobel left the morning session with a foot injury, and cornerback Asante Samuel is still out with a hamstring injury.
Wing tips
Kudos to rookie linebacker Andy Studebaker for standing up Correll Buckhalter at the goal line. ... Stewart Bradley leveled Lorenzo Booker after a 3-yard gain. ... Rookie free-agent linebacker Justin Roland's tight coverage on L.J. Smith in the end zone forced Donovan McNabb to thrown an incomplete pass. ... Omar Gaither and Juqua Parker teamed on a Kevin Kolb "sack." ... Rookie Quintin Demps broke up a McNabb pass to Smith in the end zone. ... Jerome McDougle "sacked" Kolb on second-and-2. ... McNabb connected with Jason Avant in the back corner of the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown on third-and-2.
Latest depth chart according to Spadaro:
-- Sheldon and Lito both listed as starting RCB
-- WRs 1-6 = Curtis/Brown/Baskett/Avant/Lewis/Jackson
-- Schobel = backup TE (ahead of Wilson and Celek)
-- Dunlap = backup LT
-- McGlynn = backup LG
-- MJG = backup RG
-- Justice = backup RT
-- Laws/Klecko = backup DTs
-- Mays = backup MLB
-- Considine = backup SS
-- Reed = backup FS
-- Demps = #3 FS
Nothing about FB yet
That's amazing, Ed! Thanks! :yay

dont worry bout the king, hes got things handled.

I was thinking the same exact thing when I read that. Scary, I know.
I don't think too much about King being #2...
If that happened in a game where Tra went down, I would like to think that Herremans would slide out there with MJG going to LG. This is assuming that Andrews is back in at RG.
Or they could throw the swinging gate Justice out there. Whom I read was beaten by McDougle like a drum in practice yesterday.
If they can get this kid's head in the game, they might has seriously gotten one of the biggest draft steals in recent memory...

King Dunlap holding court at Eagles camp
By LES BOWEN
Philadelphia Daily News
bowenl@phillynews.com
BETHLEHEM - There's a really excellent chance Tom Petty wasn't envisioning the Eagles' 2008 training camp when he wrote: "It's good to be king, if just for a while."
Petty had the right idea, though; even the this-might-not-last tone fits. Today, it's good to be King Dunlap, the humongous 6-9, 325-pound rookie offensive tackle from Auburn the Eagles drafted in the seventh round. It might not be so good to be King a month from now - the injuries and inconsistencies that led to Dunlap's senior benching at Auburn could recur - but Dunlap has done nothing at Lehigh but look like an up-and-coming NFL left tackle.
The coaches watching Dunlap work understand that, of course. Yet, they didn't draft the guy just to dismiss the promise he shows on the grounds that he turned out to be a huge disappointment in college, after being named to the preseason all-Southeastern Conference team last year.
As offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg put it yesterday: "[The benching] certainly meant something throughout the evaluation leading up to the draft. That was one reason we had the opportunity to select him in the seventh round. But he gets into our training camp, now it's a clean slate - let's go. He's got every opportunity to make the most of this."
Mornhinweg said Dunlap "has done a fine job to this point."
"There's no question he has the measurables - size, the long arms. It appears like he has the skill and ability to really be a good tackle," Mornhinweg said. "Now, we're early - he's got a lot of hard work and preparation left to go."
The other day, Dunlap was matched against defensive end Trent Cole in one-on-one drills. Cole, a Pro Bowl selection last season known for wide-eyed ferocity even in drills, kept finding himself steered wide of the imaginary pocket by the big rookie's long reach.
"He's going to find a place on this team," Cole predicted yesterday. "D-ends hate people with long arms."
Dunlap said he "definitely" feels encouraged. After Monday's practice, coach Andy Reid, who takes quite an interest in the offensive linemen, grabbed him for a few words as he left the field.
"He was telling me to keep working hard, he asked me how I thought it was. [Offensive-line coach Juan Castillo] told me going in it was going to be a battle; it's about what I expected," Dunlap said. "I guess I'm doing something good - he didn't really get on me about anything."
Over the weekend, when Reid was asked about Dunlap, he said: "He's a good athlete. He's got a little bit of a sore ankle, but he's played through that, and he's done very well with it. It hurts him a little bit, when he's being bull-rushed, because he can't put his foot in the ground, like he wants to. He's moving around very well. He's got very long arms and knows how to use them. He's not afraid to play the game out in front of him. I've been impressed with the way he's handled himself."
Dunlap's right ankle remains taped. He said he injured it late last season and posted slower-than-expected times at the draft combine because it was bothering him.
Dunlap, who said he has gained 15 pounds of muscle since being drafted, was asked if he feels he needs to prove himself to teammates, many of whom are aware of how his college career unfolded.
"Not really my teammates, more just everybody who had doubts about me," said Dunlap, who is officially King David Dunlap V. His father, King IV, played at Tennessee State and was a fifth-round pick of the Colts in 1969. "Coming in here, the coaches believe in me - they wouldn't have taken me if they didn't. But proving [outsiders] wrong, everybody who didn't think I would be any good, that's really my motivation right now."
If the kid can play that takes a lot of the sting out of the potential Justice debacle...

why take note of it then?
Because BigEd takes note of everything.
Is anyone else concerned with the NFL implementing a code of conduct for fans? I know I am. :-D
Especially the part about being "disruptive" during the games. I guess that means when Dallas has the ball and is at the two yard line, we're not supposed to stand and scream and wave our hands, right? You know, because we'd be being bad fans and all.
Also - I love the language they used in their communique. It's straight out of the Eagles code of conduct rule book. You can tell a beady eyed shyster who's never touched a football much less attended a football game wrote the thing.
I'm concerned. I like to stand when opposing teams are on defense. Especially when the opposing team is a division rival. However, I fully understand that it's difficult to enjoy your goat cheese, crackers and Syrah when drunk animals are standing and making noise. The nerve.
Washington's FO probably spearheaded the new policies.
I don't make too much of it. It's a PR stunt and nothing more, IMO. Trying to appease the masses. Most of the stuff will go unenforced.
On another note...
I believe the game on Friday will be on NFL-N....sweet.

From the Andrews no show link:
QuoteIn other news, cornerback Asante Samuel returned to practice for the first time since July 26. Samuel had been out with a strained right hamstring. His return left Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown rotating at right cornerback with the first-team defense.
Meanwhile, offensive tackle Tra Thomas left practice and Todd Herremans moved to left tackle and veteran defensive tackle Kimo von Oelhoffen was released. The Eagles replaced von Oelhoffen by signing rookie free agent Mike Marquardt, who is also a defensive tackle.
QuoteEagles - Samuel's return doesn't last
By PAUL DOMOWITCH
Philadelphia Daily News
pdomo@aol.com
BETHLEHEM - One of the reasons the Eagles gave Asante Samuel a 6-year, $56 million contract in March is because he's a proven playmaker. His 16 interceptions over the last 2 years are just 14 fewer than the entire Eagles defense during that period.
One of the other reasons they showered the Pro Bowl cornerback with all that money was because he's durable. Five years in the NFL and he's missed just three games due to injury.
So, here we are, 28 days and counting until the Eagles kick off the 2008 season at the Linc against the St. Louis Rams, and guess who has spent almost all of training camp in the repair shop? Yep, Samuel.
He missed the final week of the team's June passing camp with a hamstring injury. Rested it for 5 weeks, then reported to Lehigh last month and reinjured it in the team's first full-squad workout.
Went back on the shelf and missed 25 practices and the Eagles' first preseason game Friday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He finally returned to practice yesterday morning, but took himself out of the 2-hour, full-pads workout about an hour and 15 minutes in.
Samuel walked over to an Eagles assistant trainer and seemed to indicate that he had aggravated the injury. They were soon joined by head trainer Rick Burkholder. Much to the apparent chagrin of defensive coordinator Jim Johnson, his high-priced corner sat out the rest of the workout. After practice, Johnson was seen talking with Samuel. Dan Jenkins' famous book, "You Gotta Play Hurt," might have come up in the conversation.
Interestingly, Samuel wasn't listed on coach Andy Reid's postpractice injury report, and he did manage to participate in the team's afternoon practice, which was moved indoors because of inclement weather and conducted at about one-quarter speed.
When asked why the cornerback sat out the final 45 minutes of the morning practice, Reid said, "We're easing him back in. He feels good and I want to make sure he keeps feeling good.
"I was kind of gauging him on how he felt. Rick was communicating with him during the practice. We actually got more out of him than what I anticipated."
Samuel was tentatively scheduled to talk to reporters after the morning practice session, but that was abruptly postponed. Johnson isn't scheduled to talk to the media until today.
Reid insisted "there's a chance" that Samuel will play in the Eagles' second preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night at the Linc. "How much, I don't know that," he said.
Samuel's absence from the practice field has been a concern for Johnson. The lack of practice reps has made it more difficult for the ex-Patriot to get his arms around Johnson's complicated defense, and also has hindered his ability to develop on-field chemistry with the rest of the secondary, particularly the other two top corners, Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown.
Samuel was given Sheppard's starting left-corner job when he signed. But Johnson has said he expects to have all three corners on the field together at least 50 to 60 percent of the time.
"He needs the practice in this scheme," Reid said. "He'll pick it up and be fine. But it'll be a learning process."
Yesterday morning's practice was really the first time Samuel, Sheppard and Brown have been on the field together since early June, before Samuel first injured his hamstring.
"To be honest," Brown said, "you can't get a feel [for each other] until you get in a game, where you have to communicate. You do develop some chemistry in practice. But the reality is you've got to play together in a game."
If Samuel can't play Thursday night against the Panthers, that's really only going to leave the Eagles' Aug. 22 game against Samuel's former team, the Patriots, for the three corners to get on the same page, since most of the starters won't play much, if at all, in the final preseason game against the New York Jets on Aug. 28.
"It makes it even more important that we get the film study in before the first [regular-season] game," Brown said. "When you're out there and you're doing it at practice, you get in a rhythm. The quarterback and receivers always talk about [developing] timing.
"It's the same when you're out there with a defensive back you've been playing with. When I come over [in coverage], you don't even have to say anything. You know what each other's going to do. But when you're not able to do it together, you've got to get it in the film room. Because you're kind of forced to start slow."
The Eagles are trying hard to make this three-cornerback situation work. When they released their first training-camp depth chart last week, Brown and Sheppard were listed as co-starters at right cornerback, with Samuel the starting left corner, even though Brown probably will play most of the time on first down since he's a much better run-defender than Sheppard.
During yesterday's practice, Brown and Sheppard rotated regularly on the right side in the base defense, with Brown moving inside to the slot when all three corners were on the field together.
Asked how the on-field communication is right now between the three corners, Brown said, "It's pretty good. It's as good as it can be without [Samuel] being out there every day. Obviously, we would like to work more together. But we understand that football injuries occur. There's nothing you can do about that." *
wip reports he practiced this morning and might play thursday
I guess we can expect him to practice Thurs and come off the field in an hr...since this seems to be the trend with him
You smell that?
Yeah, I do. It's nice to smell the odor of an awfully misplaced attempt at humor coming from somewhere besides my own keyboard, though. Thanks, buddy.

There are a lot of people that would like to see McNabb go (I admit...me one of them), but then I think of all the other teams that had great or even good qb's that led their teams to playoffs and or a super bowl.
When those qb's left for free agency, got injured or retired, who long did it take for that team to get another good quarterback to take them back where they were?
Thats what this city very might well might go through when Kolb takes reign...scary

So why in the hell do you want to see McNabb leave for then?
My whole point has always been that there are no guarantees once a good QB leaves. How long has Miami been looking for a player to replace Marino? How long and how many pieces of shtein have the Cowboys gone through before asslips Romo came along? Looked at the Bears QB situation the last 15 years?

Yep, right on.
It is incumbent upon the FO to get the man the talent to win a Super Bowl. I like Jeff Lurie, but when he said "we're going for it" I gagged.
im far from a front office defender but yous are acting like mcnabb hasnt been to a bunch of conf champiomships and a superbowl and pretty much failed in all of them
could he and should he have had more help sure...but he hasnt exactly stepped up and made the plays it takes to win a title
he is clearly good enough to win a sb...the question is is he capable of leading a team to a championship

I'm not saying McNabb's free from fault along the way... clearly, he's f'ed up too. Choking, throwing up... whatever you want to call it, but the help he's had for the vast majority of his career hasn't left him with a lot of room for error. Just about every playoff win... McNabb has been very good, every playoff loss... McNabb's been bad. Who has ever stepped up and helped this team win when McNabb didn't have a great game, similar to when Peyton Manning didn't have a great game in the Super Bowl?
Either way... I don't understand how someone can be ready for McNabb to go at this point, especially considering what we've seen (or haven't seen) from Kolb.
cobb sucks
I pretty much agree. Which means, IMO... we're "stuck" with McNabb.

he really just talked about learning from Jared Allen and Aaron Kampman in the probowl. Donovan is on now, just talking about TO, nothing big, How he's preparing Kolb for the future.
Kolb will never be the "future" of the Eagles like McNabb was. The guy is mediocre at best. It frightens me to death that the FO actually has him labeled that. Anyone wanting season tickets just has to wait for the day McNabb isn't here and that guy is our starter.
I see not a single damn thing about him that leads me to believe that he's anything more than a backup or even a clipboard holder.

Which is even scarier..since he looks like absolute dogshtein against 2nd/3rd stringers.
honestly i have never seen him throw a ball that stood out and that includes numerous TC practices and his preseason games...not one pass much less a good series or drive...agree with what ff said too...his arm strength is suspect as hell
andy reid was on the radio today and basically said he drafted cobb for depth...said he was tried of running different back up qb's on and off the team and he wanted someone long term as the back up
i thought it was really interesting to hear that from him...will defintiely make romey that much more happy that they used their first pick on a qb last year
That is interesting and it seems to mean that they want to keep McNabb long term which I don't necessarily have a problem with. I don't like the Reid/McNabb ball-licking festival that we all have to endure, but McNabb is better than most NFL QBs when healthy and if they can keep him around the team has a better chance to succeed.
im paraphrasing but reid also said that he hopes mcnabb is here for another ten years and if he is that means cobb will sit for another ten years

Oh hey, it was still a retarded pick if McNabb does end up sticking around, but I like the Manning/Sorgi scenario a lot more than the occasional Mike McMahon sighting...
Yeah, I was not a happy camper last year during the draft. rjs's dog was definitely in danger of getting a size 10 boot in his ass after they drafted Kolb.
I didn't even mind the pick as much as I did the fact they traded down out of the first round with Dallas. It was one of the more monumentally stupid deals I can ever remember the Eagles doing.
And yeah, I know they also got Stewie out of it and all, but Jesus, they could have given up the first and third and gone up and gotten someone better than the two of them put together. But that's not how the Eagles roll and for that and that alone Reid needed to go after last season.
Hating this team is a full time obsession these days.

That's not quite it for me. I didn't mind the pick if McNabb was going to be let go and Kolb was the future. If he isn't the future and the team gave Dallas an extra first rounder it's frigging infuriating.
Whatever. Keeping McNabb and having a competent backup is not such a bad scenario. Firing Reid would make the whole situation better.

Agree with all of this, except I never thought letting McNabb go was reasonable to begin with.
I especially agree with the last part of your post.
The spin on Kolb as a permanent backup is hilarious. Anyway, I don't even want him stepping in if McNabb goes down right now. Feeley is the better option until proven otherwise.
NBC10 says Bunkley's "personal reasons" for being out = his house was burglarized and his guns were stolen
Reid & Banner probably ordered the media machine to start the poor-mouthing of Kolb now to pacify McNabb's tender ego. I mean, if McNabb really is going to stick around for another four or five years, he's going to need a new deal soon, right? You can't continue pushing Kolb as the future of the franchise if the future is still five years away.
Whatever, though. It still sticks in my crawl that they traded with Dallas of all teams, and like rjs said, if they traded out with the intent of improving the team and getting a franchise QB, I'm less homicidal about it. I doubt that's the case, however. This team just doesn't get that lucky.

Word.
ok even if its not spin, that fact that a team with plenty of weaknesses and holes wasted a 2nd round pick on a career backup qb is laughable. farg that fat icehole.
Bring back Koy!
1. Interesting to hear that from Reid about the backups. I guess he does have a point because it had become a rotational thing for awhile. But it still angers me that they drafted Kolb where they did. Take him (or someone like him) in the 3rd or 4th? Fine. But I am happy to hear that about keeping McNabb. But more than likely it is just spin.
2. Trading with Dallas doesn't bother me. I can't understand why it would. I'm not like igy and don't understand why the Eagles fans hate Dallas, because I do hate those fargers. But trading with them doesn't matter to me.
3. Rome....prior to McNabb blowing his knee out they were talking new deal. Obviously that put the kibosh on any extension, but my guess is now that they see he's much better perhaps they're thinking about it. I hope hope hope they extend him.

because andy doesnt want him to move
ike reese told an interesting story yesterday about how andy used to tell donovan that it was worse off for his offense if he left the pocket because the entire offense is predicated on timing and when donovan took off it shut down the whole play
Christ, and I didn't even need another reason to hate Andy Reid
the scary thing about that is not that andy was potentially limiting what donovan can do but that it points out andy never having good wr's and makes it as obvious as ever that the reason he doesnt get playmakers is because he truly belives his offense is more important than the players in it...that his scheme is the playmaker
And ironically good or even decent WRs may have been able to get open, circumventing McNabb's need to scramble
right....his offense makes playmakers not the other way around
He's obviously a dumbass if a dumbass like me can clearly see his shortcomings so how is it possible he's still the head coach. He must be banging Lurie
Holy shtein, if that's true, I can't believe how much I hate Reid and want him fired.
i couldnt believe it when i heard it...i so wanted to call and ask ike a follow up question but i cant from work....i was hoping some other callers would or even glen bhowever no one did...i thought it was a half bombshell type comment that deserved a lot more attention that it got but he definitely said it
It makes sense that it would be true. farg Andy.
yea hes fat

Jason Whitlock is one pipe-hittin' fat ass:

He's been written off by most the experts. He's too injury prone. He's overrated without Terrell Owens.
I love the way McNabb approaches the game. In the right situation -- had Owens supported McNabb the way Owens supports Tony Romo — McNabb could've been as good as Brady and Peyton Manning.
McNabb is going to have a rebound season and make his critics choke on crow.
It would be very helpful if McNabb could have that kind of year. But yeah, Whitlock loves him some wacky tobacky.
pretty sure no quarterback not named tom brady is having an mvp year with kevin curtus and reggie brown as his wr's
Colt Brennan represent.
I heard he's the next Tom Brady.
Whitlock luvs him some McNabb juice.

QuoteHORN WANTS TO PLAY FOR COWBOYS OR EAGLES
Posted by Mike Florio on August 14, 2008, 9:36 a.m.
Falcons receiver Joe Horn, who has made it clear that he wants out of Atlanta, said on The Dan Patrick Show that he'd like to play for the Dallas Cowboys or the Philadelphia Eagles.
But while Horn says his primary goal is to play for a Super Bowl contender (and acknowledged generally that there are other teams that he regards as contenders), he recognized that he'd "not be accepted" in New Orleans by coach Sean Payton. Horn and the Saints had a fairly ugly divorce in 2007, with the Saints claiming he had failed a physical and Horn complaining that Payton was running the veteran wideout out the door.
During the 2007 season, Horn blamed the Saints' struggles on Payton's ego.
Horn also realizes that he's residing on the bottom of the depth chart in Atlanta, even though he seems to believe (but isn't willing to say) that he's the best receiver on the team.
Patrick's show streams live from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EDT each weekday at DanPatrick.com, and past shows are available on demand, free.
Hey, I want to play for the Eagles also. I think Joe Horn and I would have similar levels of success with the team.
God please make something horrific happen to Andy Reid...please god...so we can move on and play real football
I wish the Eagles would just look at Chris Henry. I dont give a farg about his past..just catch TD's. You would think with Brown going to be battling Achilles Tenndonitis all year now, they turn a different direction
nobody is sprinting to get him because they are scared of his past, but maybe young boy now realizes its his last shot at football/life and can pull a Pacman or Tank Johnson

QuoteDonovan McNabb is healthy both physically and mentally, primed for a Pro Bowl-caliber year, and will lead the Eagles back to the playoffs after an 8-8 campaign a year ago.
You can lock that in.
I've never been so sure about anything.
I fully anticipate McNabb being in the mix for league MVP.
According to all accounts, McNabb is having the best training camp that he's ever had. Nobody has ever doubted the talent and the leadership. It was the health holding McNabb back one year ago.
I listen to Sirius NFL religiously, and all those guys get boners at every single camp they travel to
a QB having an awesome camp knowing he cant be touched definitely equals MVP..way to go Adam

Ohh...probably because he has so many more options this year...nevermind.
Put down your money too.
Id rather you put down your meth pipe
Uhh.......we have no wr's that will get over 6 tds. Almost all of them would have to do it for McNabb to get 30 tds.

white people are slow
Unless Anquan Boldin comes here and gives McNabb an actual #1 WR, that stat won't happen...and its not because of McNabb. Its all on Reid and his fat farging shoulders for not giving him a damn thing to work with.
Terry Glenn is still out there...you just need to someone to wheel him around on pass routes

I don't think the Eagles FO will be bold enough to make that deal.
Don't encourage him.
Boldin was on the Michael Irvin show (ha) and said that the Eagles and Cardinals are talking about a deal now, but didn't get into specifics.

Nah Ill keep goin.

They're dropping like flies and still won't trade for Boldin. I love that.
If true, Boldin absolutely should happen. Well, it should happen no matter what is going on with Curtis or any other receiver, but with Curtis out (how long, IGY?), they need another receiver more than ever.
Shock me, FO.
the team will intially say 3-4 weeks i believe but it will be longer than that....it has to be with this injury...and even if somehow he comes back within month he certainly wont be at 100%...

McNabb had 7 tears in his groin repaired. It wasn't a simple hernia surgery.
my source told me it was eight tears
Gaylord Focker told me it was 13.
fail

That was awful and completely unfunny, and I still let out a slightly audible chuckle. Damn you, but damn me even harder.
QuoteAfter intercepting Donovan McNabb while covering Jackson, Asante Samuel shouted out, "75 percent of the world is covered by water. The other 25 percent is covered by Zont," which is Samuel's nickname ... Lito Sheppard got into the act as well, yelling, "Get that sh*t out of here" after batting down a McNabb pass while covering Bam Childress, then heaving the ball 40 yards back toward the offensive huddle and nearly hitting assistant coach Otis Smith in the head
so much going on in this notes section
Coach Smith was asking for it.
eskin reporting curtis to be out thru the bye week....meaning six games missed
a guy i work withs cousins stepbrother is in rehab with britt reid and he says boldin will be an eagle by the end of the week. yea really.
Today's Domo article (http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/sports/20080826_Eagles_Notebook__Hunt_s_not_the_best_fullback_on_the_block.html)
To summarize:
- Tony Hunt's blocking sucks, so it's unlikely he would be kept as the only FB. 4th RB is more likely at this point.
- Clemons is going to miss the last preseason game and is pissing off Jim Johnson.
- Jackson will usually line up at flanker.
- The team likes Mays.
Nothing too surprising.

The real question is how many degrees of separation between Britt and Andy.
So, Andy is out visiting Britt at rehab, and rather than talking about rebuilding the family, reconstructing the trust that every dad and son should share, and rather than asking about Britt's progress, Andy opens with "So, don't tell anyone, but we're getting Boldiin! SHHHH!!"
I still think the fat farg is going to pull a rabbit out of his hat. He did it with Stallworth a while back and considering they're now without both starting receivers, they can't go into the season without a legit starter. Can they?
They can, and they will.
And they will not win a Super Bowl again.

:-D Yeah, and if the Eagles actually
do get Boldin, MDS can say he has a new inside track to Eagle affairs, through a strung out loser in rehab, to his co-worker's cousin from said cousin's loser addict stepbrother. :-D :-D
McNabb on the cover of SI in this region. I swear, I'd like to at least once see him act like he's serious about the game of football.

It will never happen though. That pic was probably right after a INT, or incompletion. I swear, sometimes he looks like a grinnin' idiot.
i wonder if he was telling one of his horribly unfunny jokes
Probably taken when he was slowly jogging back from the huddle in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XXXIX.

Please tell me you're not serious and you are not one of the "Oh my god he's smiling! He doesn't care about the game" people.

No, I'm not one of those people. I know he cares and wants to win, or he wouldn't have been so nervous that he would puke in the fourth quarter of the Superbowl.
I just wish he'd
act more like he cares. I know it's just me, but that smiling crap all the time gets on my nerves. When I'm watching a game and he's just thrown an incompletion on third and long, and I'm screaming
GODAMMIT!! at the top of my lungs, and then you see him walking towards the sidelines grinning like he just won 100 mil playing the lottery, well........it pisses me off.
Maybe I can put this argument to rest a little bit.
Does anyone remember way back when McNabb was a rookie an there is that film of Reid calling him over after an obviously bad play had gone against Donnie and said something to the effect of: hey don't ever let anyone know if you are down or not just keep plugging away, this is your show how you go it goes.
We all know Donnie has always been coachable to a fault and maybe he took that advice to heart.
It sure would seem so.

I guess I don't understand it.
I don't mean to go all Al Bundy here, but there'd be times when I played sports and I farged up I would have a smile on my face. More of a bemused smile with me thinking "motherfarg, did I just do that?"

I was just the opposite. I would get major pissed off when I screwed up. It would only last for about 5 minutes though. My high school football coached took me out of a game for slamming my helmet on the bench after dropping a beautiful pass that if I had caught it, was a shore 6 pts.
I dunno'. Dmac is what he is, and damn good at what he does. I guess I shouldn't compain too much about stuff that really isn't either here nor there. I should be used to it now anyway.

True story: about two years ago, sitting in a restaurant:
Wife: So, what are we going to name the baby?
Me: I don't know...what do you think?
Wife: How about "Donovan Terrell"
Me: Uh, no...I don't think so.
Wife: Who is your favorite Eagle?
Me: That's funny - my two favorite players both have the same first name - Brian Dawkins and Brian Westbrook
Wife: Well, I guess that decides that...

Brian Smith seems like a good player so far. He's been getting consistently better and ended up with 11 tackles, 2 TFLs, 1.5 sacks, 3 hurries
