Will Eagles pursue Boldin? (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/49387-anquan-boldin-may-be-available-but-will-the-eagles-pursue-him-part-two)
Quote
Contrary to popular belief, the Eagles' organization did pursue several prominent wide receivers this off-season, including Randy Moss (reports had him going back to New England for less money), Larry Fitzgerald (the Eagles were interested enough to offer a first rounder and Lito Sheppard), and Roy Williams (again involving disgruntled CB Lito Sheppard).
The media also had them connected to the likes of Chad Johnson (although the taterskins, who reportedly offered an '08 and '09 draft choice, were certainly more serious about him), and Anquan Boldin.
QuoteThe fact that Anquan Boldin is available may have an effect on the organization, or it may not. They might not even pick up the phone to give the Cardinals a call.
That's just how the Eagles are.
QuoteRemember, earlier in the off-season Head Coach Andy Reid said that he was happy with the team's current wide receivers, much to the ridicule of Eagles fans.
But that statement does not seem to have been echoed by the rest of the organization, not only in light of their highly publicized interest in the wide receivers mentioned above, but also in the fact that this may be both Reid's and McNabb's last year in Philly.
All opinion, nothing substantial.
Can anyone find a legitimate reason the Eagles shouldn't trade for Boldin? Because I'd love to know what is going through their heads right now.
QuoteCurtis to have sports hernia surgery
Eagles wide receiver Kevin Curtis will have sports hernia surgery and will be sidelined for a significant amount of time, coach Andy Reid said today.
Curtis was injured against Carolina last Thursday. He tried to practice this week but struggled, leading to the decision to have the surgery.
Reid said he is not interested in bringing in another receiver at this time. With Reggie Brown still out with a hamstring injury, the starting receivers Friday against New England will be DeSean Jackson in Brown's spot and either Hank Baskett or Greg Lewis in Curtis' spot.
More on this story later.
LOLeagles
Brown will be hobbled all season, and Curtis is out at least half the season (and won't be 100% when he returns).
So, um, this situation is a bit desperate.
Jesus Christ...you have got to be farging kidding me with this Curtis news
Jesus Christ doesn't farging kid around, man. Kevin Curtis could tell you that.
New WR Depth Chart:
1. DeSean Jackson
2. Hank Baskett
3. Greg Lewis
4. Jason Avant
5. Mike Gasperson
6. IGY
I think this team is in some trouble.
SERIOUS TROUBLE!
You forgot Westbrook. He's the best receiver on the roster anyways...
Just got the text from ESPN.. Can't believe Curtis out... Please do not sign Horn...
Reid needs to be fired.
Now.
If he really said that, he's stealing drugs from his son's ass.

plus its the system
Andy's playcalling makes superstars out of duds. Just look at James Thrash. He's a perrenial third string WR but Andy's system made him into a starter! You can't gameplan for this system.
A couple years ago... the injuries were all about the Lins Franc for the Eagles... now, the sports hernia is the "in" injury.

What was wrong with the old receiver thread?
Nothing. Let's merge so we have more historical perspective.

Jackson is the shtein, dont get me wrong, but to think a rookie is gonna put up 77catches for 1100 yards and 8tds, if it happens, i'll put 50 on it not happening
he wont put up those numbers but i guarantee you defenses are more worried about facing pimp jackson than kevin curtis

Sure, but still, losing Curtis isn't exactly addition by subtraction. Everyone aside from Jackson also slides up the depth chart, including you, I believe.

I don't know if you've heard, but Hines Ward is an excellent blocker at the WR position. Little-known fact.
farg Greg Lewis... That is all...
so desean jackson is the starter now?
whos the PR now?
BRING BACK MAHE!
Well ain't this a bitch.
Figures though.
And I don't expect Andy to come out and say "yeah we are going to trade for someone now"
Quote"It won't be a threat to what we do," Reid said.
He's got a point. Curtis being out won't be a threat to the Eagles system of runs and dump offs between the 20s and three incomplete passes in the red zone.

I'm usually not one of the freaks screaming for this team to get a WR. But this shtein is ridiculous. farg.

I can almost guarantee they sign Joe Horn
That being said they won't make any sort of move for a good receiver...so is Curtis done for the year?
GO EAGLES
Quote from: mussa on August 21, 2008, 01:27:48 AM
so is Curtis done for the year?
Probably not. But by the time he comes back and is healthy enough to play well, it could be too late to make a difference.
I was on my way back from my uncle's shop (ties into a later story) when I tuned to wip to hear the Curtis injury, Eskin said it would be stupid for the Eagles to get Boldin because it would take him a while to learn the offense. I wanted to call in and ask how Stallworth was able to pick up the offense so fast.
Saw my cousin (older brother of my other cousin the highschool football star) while I was down there (Kensington) and he told me his ex-girlfriend who he still nails from time to time made the Eagles cheerleading squad, here she is:

I know you guys are probably tough on newbies and non Eagles fans so....
Let me start off by posting I hope for your team to beat those damn Cowgirls and sack the heck out of Eli. I keep an eye out for the NFC East since it seems like all the teams are good.
Have a good preseason with few injuries.

QuoteHere are the most important things you need to know about the Eagles' possible efforts to make a deal for Boldin: The Cardinals are not interested in trading him, and they are not interested in acquiring equally unhappy cornerback Lito Sheppard.
It is the same story that unfolded with Fitzgerald. The only way for the Eagles to change the outcome is to make the Cardinals an offer so sweet - a No. 1 draft pick in 2009 and a player other than Sheppard? - they could not refuse.
Sounds about right to me. The Cards don't want Sheppard, and I doubt they are going to trade Boldin unless they get something that makes them more competitive THIS year - losing Boldin is a big hit to their team. If I were them, I'd ask for Trent Cole, since their pass rush sucks.
In other words, the Eagles ain't getting Boldin.

Why they wouldnt trade their #1 pick makes ZERO sense to me. They have 2 this upcoming year. They don't farging use them anyway.
I hate Andy Reid.
Well, to be fair PG... the Eagles will probably need that extra #1 to grab their QB of the future. Kolb's gotta be getting up there in age in their eyes.
no, Kolb just sucks balls.
if that was somebody you were a fan of, you would quote yourself, and rip you for saying that after a couple preseason games
(http://i31.tinypic.com/rcsc1w.gif)
youre both right
Please show me something, ANYTHING AT ALL that makes you think Kevin Kolb could be the QB of this franchise for years to come.
I beg of you. PROVE ME WRONG PLEASE!
NOthing in his college gametapes that I watched on here after the draft, nothing I have read about him or seen from him has given me an INKLING of "wow, he has some potential to lead an NFL team to a Super Bowl for years to come...a true superstar in the making"
Nothing. Nada.

Someone's gotta fill in for FF when he's not posting.
Kolb is very nice young man.
Why you can't see that and Reid can is why he is the coach of the decade
i'm not saying he is the qb of the future...but you saw something in the hours of film study that you did after he was drafted and you don't like him, so you are judging him before he's played a real game.
my point is, if somebody else was making this exact point about somebody you liked, you would rip them because they hadn't played a game yet.
bottom line, we won't know until he actually plays a season. actually, forget that, how about he gets to play a real portion of time with the first team line and skill players? has he even done that yet?
this is why women should avoid football and other similiar things that their brains cant comprehend
Quote from: PhillyGirl on August 21, 2008, 11:06:46 AM

Ha! That's rich.
The point is that if you think a player is good or simply unproven, you are extremely critical of anyone that attempts to say otherwise. And yet, while Kolb has not had an opportunity to play in a real game situation, you spew vitriol and refuse to believe that he is simply unproven. Essentially, you have absolutely no middle ground. Ever. On anything.
But, you're right that Kolb really does seem to suck, as I have also pointed out on numerous occasions. It seems he has a long throwing motion that generates little power and very little pocket awareness or ability to escape at an NFL level. Basically the perfect storm of "It's just not gonna work out with this guy in the NFL." Good times.
I saw a Kolb/Hoying comparison recently.
I'm willing to give the guy a chance. Reid and other coaches have consistently said it takes a QB 4 years to master the WCO.

Sun...the point is, YOU'RE not saying he's the QB of the future, but the FO is..not in words, but in using that farging draft pick to draft him. They'll use a first round pick to trade for KOLB, but never for a WR who can actually help this team AND their current QB win a damn thing.

show me nothing and ask me to ignore that because this special system will make a guy great in four years....farg no
Donovan was an MVP candidate after running the offense for two games as a rookie and a season as a starter.
It takes talent to master the offense just as it takes weapons to fully execute it (see T.O.).

I'm not sold on the guy yet either, but I'm willing to give him time (which he has) while Donovan is still here. I've said this from the day they drafted Kolb that McNabb would still be the starter till 2010.
I don't have strong feelings about Kolb one way or the other...and while anyone can project based on the limited sample, it's certainly too early to call it. I'm going to go ahead and not really worry about it right now.

dont hate on Kolb. he is way better than McNabb could ever be. what has McNabb ever done? when McNabb was winning it was in a very poor NFC and even then he struggled. plus with McNabb you know an injury is bound to occur sometime during the season. seriously when was the last time McNabb played a whole season? lets face the facts. McNabb has made a career on beating up on bad teams.
Kolb is a born leader and gives us the best chance at a SB win. McNabb is a bum that is more interested in being a superstar than winning the big one.
McNabb could be the starter for the next 10 years and we will have zero SB wins to show for it.
its time to move on.

QuoteHeckert: We can win Super Bowl with our WRs
By REUBEN FRANK
phillyBurbs.com
Greg Lewis plus Hank Baskett plus DeSean Jackson plus Jason Avant plus Reggie Brown plus half a season of Kevin Curtis equals a Super Bowl. That's what Eagles General Manager Tom Heckert believes.
Heckert said in an interview on the team's official web site that the Eagles can win a Super Bowl without adding a wide receiver.
Even with starter Kevin Curtis out indefinitely, starter Reggie Brown out at least until opening day and nobody else on the roster who's ever had 600 yards in a season.
Heckert said he hears fans clamoring for the so-called "No. 1 receiver" but warned that such a guy is not in the team's plans.
And he said that no, he's not lying.
"We all hear it, everybody hears it — "Why don't we have a big stud,'" Heckert said. "But if you can get that out of your mind for one second — I know it's difficult for a lot of people — but we think we have six really, really good receivers.
"They've all played well when they've got a chance to play, Hank (Baskett) a couple years ago made some big plays for us, Greg Lewis has made big plays — in the Super Bowl scored a touchdown — Jason Avant we think is going be a super inside player, and then you add DeSean (Jackson) to the mix, and we think we have a very good group of receivers.
"I know everybody thinks we're lying and not telling the whole truth that we can win with these guys, but we think there's no question in our minds we can win the Super Bowl with these receivers."
Heckert did allow that the Eagles are in constant contact with other teams exchanging ideas about various players as cuts approach.
"There are some definite spots we're looking at to try to upgrade," he said. "We talk to teams every day, and I think it will start heating up in the next week after this game where people start finalizing their rosters and figuring out their last 53 guys.
"You never say never. We're willing to make a move if there's somebody out there who can help us."
Dawkins mourns Upshaw
Eagles safety Brian Dawkins and owner Jeff Lurie, who both worked closely with union head Gene Upshaw for several years, reacted with shock and sadness yesterday following the announcement that Upshaw had died Wednesday evening, only four days after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Upshaw, who led the NFLPA through several labor disputes and into the league's most prosperous era in his 25 years as executive director, died at his home in Lake Tahoe, Calif. He was 63.
"I don't know the situation of when he was diagnosed, I don't know any of that information," said Dawkins, the Eagles' player rep and a member of the NFLPA's executive committee. "To have someone of Gene's age and the way he carried himself, to all of a sudden receive a phone call that Gene has passed away was a huge shock to me."
Upshaw, a first-ballot Hall of Fame offensive lineman, became NFLPA executive director in 1983. It was under his stewardship that the union gained free agency, player salaries skyrocketed and benefits improved dramatically.
"From where the union started to where it is today is leaps and bounds," Dawkins said. "A lot of that credit has to go with Gene and what he stood for. He stood his ground on a lot of key issues. With the backing of the players he was able to get us in a pretty good position in terms of health benefits with the presidents at the time, be it Troy (Vincent) and Trace (Armstrong). They worked to get us in a very good position, and he's left us in a very good position."
Curtis undergoes surgery
Curtis, who suffered a sports hernia during the Eagles' preseason game against the Panthers, underwent surgery yesterday, the team announced in a brief statement.
The procedure was performed by Dr. William Meyers at Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia. Meyers also repaired Donovan McNabb's sports hernia in 2005.
Reid said on Wednesday that Curtis had a "slight" tear and said he would be out "a while." Reid said he would know more about Curtis's prognosis after the surgery, but Reid was not available yesterday and the club provided no update on Curtis's prognosis.

I'm pretty sure this guy is legit and not a clone, I've seen him post the same drivel on the emb
drivel? pls. when was the last time McNabb played an entire season? the guy is injury prone and was never that great of a qb. sure he has tremendous arm strength but lacks in the decision making department. he should have been traded long ago. McNabb will continue to do just enough to keep his job but will never ever win a SB. when it matters the most McNabb will be found either joking around or covering the field in puke. :-D
Simple question: Who gives you a better chance to win this season, Mcnabb or Kolb?

"We all hear it, everybody hears it — "Why don't we have a big stud,'" Heckert said. "But if you can get that out of your mind for one second — I know it's difficult for a lot of people — but we think we have six really, really good receivers."

I loved the part where he said we should feel ok because Baskett made a few big plays a couple years ago.
I mean...come on Heckert.
baskett has 3 td's in his entire career. avant also has 3 and greggie has 6 (in 5 seasons).
reggie brown really is the chad johnson of this group.
i understand the we have confidence in our personal part...they cant thrown their own players under the bus...but dont farging address the fans like they are idiots...in fact dont talk to the fans at all...just put forth the team talking points and move on...

He looked like shtein at training camp. And before you say he wasn't playing with the 1st team he was and stilll looked like shtein. He's looked like shtein in the preseason too.
My only hope with the receivers is Jackson turns out to be the real deal. And I'm not thinking 80 catches I'm thinking more along the lines of a guy that's a playmaker.

QuoteHeckert: We can win Super Bowl with our WRs
By REUBEN FRANK
http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/99-...08-1580144.html
I'm sorry, I couldn't even read that article after seeing the title. We've all read ot a number of times already. Same ol' "I know there's an impact WR available, but cool your jets because we're happy with the bums we have right now" bullshtein that comes from the FO year after year.
It's gotta be a smokescreen. There's no way they can seriously be trying to sell Avant & Baskett as legitimate starters in the league. I can almost buy Jackson but the other two? Stop.
Then again, I know Arizona is the worst run team in the league, but not even they're dumb enough to believe the story that's being crafted here.
Whatever. More pie, damn it!
that article is infuriating
Heckert is rounding into form nicely as another Eagles FO douchebag
OK... obviously, I went back and read this bullshtein.
Quote"They've all played well when they've got a chance to play, Hank (Baskett) a couple years ago made some big plays for us, Greg Lewis has made big plays — in the Super Bowl scored a touchdown — Jason Avant we think is going be a super inside player, and then you add DeSean (Jackson) to the mix, and we think we have a very good group of receivers.
Heckert wants us to belive his line of bull but has to go back as far as 3 farging years ago to find an example of these sorry motherfargers doing a damn thing. I mean, this farger is reaching all the way back to when TO was still on the farging team.
There's no way in the world he believes this shtein. No way.
Quote from: EagleFeva on August 22, 2008, 09:56:21 AM

I'd say there's a 99% chance they don't believe it. Then again, this is the Eagles front office we're talking about, so anything's possible.
I wonder if Heckert knows that Ashley Lelie could be available.
it's probably a contest that Reid, Banner, and Heckert have to see who can say the douchiest, most condescending thing in the paper and get the fans angry
Heckert just took the lead, by a lot

You have to wonder if they have some laughs about this stuff behind the scenes. I'd assume so.
the worst part is, i'll still watch the game tonight & the linc will be full all season long. :deion :deion
Maybe I'm just getting old...but, man, I just have a hard time getting as worked up about this stuff as I used to. Of course the FO is going to try to sell it that way. Of course they know it's bullshtein. They know they don't have a whole hell of a choice about who the WRs will be at this point. Why care what Heckert is saying now?
point missed in a huge way
if you still dont care i can understand that but at least know what we are upset about
ive come to the conclusion that this team will never win a championship, while teams like the Cowpukes make moves to get guys like Pacman, low risk, high reward. This team thinks the system solves all. farg it

this shtein reminds me of how ed wade would talk up some crappy pitcher he signed accomplishments that happened 3 years earlier. oh paul abbott won 17 games when he was on steroids in 2001, hes great. oh mike williams saved 30 games for the pirates in 1999, welcome aboard.
i mean he seriously sold greg lewis to the fans on the basis that he scored a touchdown in the superbowl, WHICH WAS 4 fargING YEARS AGO. do people really buy into this stuff?

You missed the point, actually. It's clear you're more upset that Heckert/Banner/Reid say certain things like this recent drivel than actually concerned they believe what they say. Still, some of us couldn't care less what they say and are waiting to see if their actions actually follow up.
They made the trade for TO happen when the receivers were fine. They tried to talk Randy Moss into signing when the receivers were fine. Guess what? The receivers are still fine. We all get it.
But if they try to actually play a season with these dopes, I will point and laugh at my own team... unless DeSean Jackson is literally the next Jerry Rice.

You guys are really dense. I can see why Heckert thinks so little of you.
Again, you're upset they say this shtein. You're not upset that they believe it. You're upset that they say it, because it's insulting to you as fans.
We get it. Your act being offended by it is almost as tired as their act of doing it.
yes, and i get it. you're too cool for the room, i don't really care attitude rules dude. i get it, you don't care that banner and heckert shteins on your face because you want a new receiver...it's cool. but farg you for telling me im an idiot for caring.

So the only way to "get it" is to agree with your view? I get it-- I just still don't care. The FO has a job to do, and part of the job is to make fans believe in the talent on the roster. Heckert had a hand in selecting the guys, so he's essentially talking himself up a bit and making a nonsense attempt to drive down what another team might ask for in a trade. He's doing a part of his job that might be distastful...and something of a joke...but we all have to shovel shtein now and again. Still don't care. Stop being so sensitive, Nancy. Do you get it?

what you dont get is what we are really upset about
as i said they arent going to throw their own players under a bus...i dont care if they lie about how good their players are but as a paying customer dont talk down to me like im a farging moron...basically heckert is calling all the fans idiots because they think the wr's blow
you may think its crazy to catch feelings from some guy i dont even know calling me an idiot and when someone on a place like CF does it i could care less but for some reason when my sports teams do it i take that shtein personally...i cant really argue with you thats its ridiculous...i often wonder why i let it get to me so much myself...but i cant help it
You know, a lot of fans-- I'd go as far as to say maybe more than half-- actually have no clue what they're talking about. Many of them are, actually, idiots. That's a fact. It doesn't mean you have to lump yourself in with that group.
that may be true but coming out 24 hrs after you lose your #1 wr off what is already a weak group is probably not the best time to shtein on the fans....even the dumbest of us know the position blows
Well, for that I'll refer you to my initial blurb about the guy doing his job.
Maybe if we say we don't get it, IGY will argue that we do.
ive explained it everyway i know how...its not about the front office defending its players its about shteinting on the fans...and heckert wasnt shteinting on the fans by saying the wr's are superbowl worthy he was shteinting on them by telling them they are stupid and need to listen better
i explain this 50 ways to you both and your answers are

Yeah, but if you were pulverized into sand, wouldn't the sand kind of cushion the blow? Please advise.
The difference between when they got TO (after saying the WRs were fine) and now is that since they had TO, they've let him go AND let Stallworth (the only other legit #1 this team has had since McNabb started here) go as well. Didn't want to pay them. Didnt' think THEY were WORTH THE MONEY. :boom :boom :boom
So bringing that shtein up is as pointless and nonsensical as Heckert bringing up Greg Lewis' farging TD in the Super Bowl.
And I don't buy that they ACTUALLY tried for Moss. I think it was a load of bullshtein. Or they just tried to "appease" the fans by making it seem like they tried to get him....all the while knowing they never had a shot in hell.
I don't think Stallworth was really a 1. He was more of a 2a.
He was more of a #1 than any other receiver this team has been "fine" with since 1999 other than TO.
Greg Lewis... the new #1...
i'd rather have Curtis than Stallworth.
Stallworth was definitely a 1.5-a type. No more, no less.

With a semen chaser.
Baskett and Lewis will be fine. They both have really good YPCATTMW's.
Also, I expect Avant to fill in well because he has a really high TBTBFCC rate.
Joe Banner:
There is going to be a new "wrinkle" at WR tonight so stay tuned. Whatever the hell that means. Probably Booker.
Banner's on DNL, one of the first things out of his mouth were "we love our wide receivers"
Havas in 3.....2.....1........
Sal Pal asked Banner about TO and why the Eagles offense was so effective that season, Banner actually said he has a close friend that works for the Patriots and he said because they allocated so many resources to the WR position that it hurt them in other areas and that's why they lost the Superbowl. He also mentioned some nonsense about Plaxico Burress only having 2 catches in the playoffs. You can't make this shtein up.
It would actually make sense if our recievers weren't so obviously horrible right now.
I'm so happy I'm not watching that. I try to watch my mouth around my daughter...I don't think I could bite my tongue hard enough.

im going to regret saying this but i have agree with igy.
the PR is of course they are going to claim they have enough talent to get it done.
but to claim "fans need to calm down and realize" or say things like "g lewis scored a TD three yrs ago in the superbowl and baskett made 2 nice catches" shteins all over the fans and their ability to decipher football.
freddie mitchell.
When Joe Banner and Tom Heckert and Andy Reid speak I see their mouths move but I don't hear anything. Just like the Jimmy Rollins junk...I just don't let it get to me any more.
They know their WRs stink. Or else they wouldn't have been asking about and/or going after players like Moss and Williams and Fitzgerald.
Chad Jackson looked pretty good tonight. If he gets cut I wouldn't mind giving him a shot. He can stretch the defense.
No.
The word on him is that he's dumber than a brick. Since in-depth knowledge of trigonometry and physics is required to learn Andy's playbook, no thanks.
Additionally, if Brady can't make him look good, neither can Donovan.

Chad Jackson's problem has not been on the field, it has been staying healthy. I don't think the Pats are going to cut him.
Jackson won't be cut, but before we try and get him on the Eagles, remember that this is a player who has so far failed to overtake Jabar Gaffney on the depth chart.

sounds just like the mediocre WR the eagles are always interested in.
Good points about Jackson, but it might come down to him(if he were to be cut), Joe Horn, or keeping what we have.
Out of the 3 maddening options, I'll take Jackson and his upside, and hope he can make some plays down field.
Real or bullshtein...you decide....

QuoteYou heard it here first, but I have a HUGELY RELIABLE SOURCE that has spoken to Q, and a deal is IN THE WORKS for a TRADE with PHILLY!!
First off, I don't think trading Q is a bad idea necessarily. But ROD GRAVE and MIKE BIDWILL, if you're looking at this board right now, THIS IS THE STUPIDIST THING YOU COULD EVER DO! DON'T TRADE Q to PHILLY. Don't give this guy the REMOTEST CHANCE to come back and HAUNT you. My source did not say who was involved in this deal, but he DID SAY that is was VERY VERY VERY close to being finalized.
THIS trade will keep us OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS! WHAT positive could you possibly get in return for Q. If it's an O-LINEMAN and a draft pick, GRAVES you should FIRED! If it's LITO, you should be FIRED. If it's anyone on the EAGLE, you should be FIRED!
Trade his BUTT to Oakland for McFadden and a draft pick STRAIGHT UP. Trade him to Kansas CITY or Chicago. DO NOT TRADE HIM TO A TEAM (i.E. PHILLY or DALLAS for that MATTER) that could serve you uyp a BIG FAT L, on thanksgiving DAY!!!
lol, Mcfadden and a draftpick STRAIGHT UP. Is MeGAFLYER a CARD fAN

I would hope you could decide rather easily also.
So, do we have Q yet?
A man with capitalization that wild must be reliable.
I think it was PG.
Did the original post have rolly eyes?
I have a sore neck from reading that. My head kept going back and forth.
Wild stuff. The Cards official board sucks. TRUE Probably why you guys don't post on yours if you have one I dunno.
because Steuber is a god there, and in my dreams
hmm, an official board for the Eagles? who knows

Racin' Reggie!
