Released. What a farging stupid pick.
That sucks. Now the Eagles don't have a real fullback
As opposed to when?
Should have done this shtein back in the preseason, then they wouldn't have had to waste time putting a DT in his place only to find out that he can't play the position either.
Again... you need a FB, get a farging FB.
Helluva move here at the trade deadline...
I always hated the Hunt pick but I would have kept him over Booker
they also picked up a LB:
QuoteEagles Sign White, Release Hunt
October 14, 2008 | Last Updated: 10/14/08 3:28 PM ET | Comments (31)
The Eagles signed linebacker Tracy White. To make room for White on the 53-man roster, the team released RB Tony Hunt.
A six-year veteran, White (6-0, 238 pounds) spent the last two-plus seasons with the Green Bay Packers before being released on 10/7/08. Originally signed by Seattle as an undrafted rookie in 2003 out of Howard, White played in 20 games (two starts) with the Seahawks, recording 26 tackles and one sack. He spent the 2005 season as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars, before signing with the Packers in 2006.
A strong special teams performer, White has racked up 68 career special teams tackles in 69 games, including two in the 2007 postseason, as well as a forced fumble on 1/20/08 vs. NYG. He also recovered a fumbled punt in the end zone for a touchdown on 9/9/07 against the Eagles.
A 27-year-old native of Charleston, SC, White started 44 games at Howard, leading the team in tackles all four years and becoming the school's all-time leader with 500 career tackles, adding 22 sacks and six interceptions.
Ah... so there's the new FB.
Sweet - another UDFA!

They wouldn't part with a 2nd for TO in the prime of his career when their WRs were worse than they are now. No way in hell would they have given Detroit close to what Dallas did.
I'm praying for some serious Dallas injuries because trying to cover TO, Williams and Witten is going to be next to impossible.
tracy white is black :o

Yep... and we ain't talking next week either. They'll have til the end of the year to gel and get their shtein together. :boo
Great move for Dallas, you have to give it to them. After three weeks of watching TO get double teamed and shut down, they go out and get the best wr available, while Andy Reid sits on his fat ass thinking that when Curtis comes back our receivers will be fine.

Their corners are supposed to be great, maybe they should show it once in a while. The real problem is going to continue to be Witten
That's what Tracy White is for!
Is he going to make the sexes with Witten in the locker room to keep him out of the game?
This White guy is fast.
That's all I know about him.
And I guess The Klecko Experiment was great in Big Red's eyes.
Of course it was, Klecko caught a pass!
i wish jerry jones was the owner of the eagles.
not that the eagles were going to make any noise this year but i just do not want to see the cowboys win another superbowl.
this FO is a joke. im hearing reports that they wouldn't offer the chiefs a 3rd round pick? WTF?
i wonder how mcnabb feels now. he asks for weapons and gets none. cowboys have one bad loss and they make a huge move.
even the taterskins made some moves to help themselves out.
And he totally ran really fast into MJG's backside several times.
and oh yeah forgot to comment on HUNT....wtf was this move?
does this team even know what they are doing? he cant block so they switch him to FB. he proves again he cant block so they switch him back to RB. they never hand it off to them and then cut him? WTF?
not that i care much for him but this is the move they made today?
So they can say they came out and made some moves.

Pump your brakes, homie.
Jones' personnel moves have netted him zero playoff wins as a GM. If you want him as an owner, you get him as a GM too.
And let's not jerk the Skins off for signing Mike Green, Ryan Plackemeier and Shaun Alexander.
skins moves were minor but still >>>>>>>> eagles moves
and thats all that matters
this is a continuing trend of the eagles not caring if they win it all or not...trading first round picks...one of which i actually agreed with...but still they show absolutely zero urgency and for a team that is relying on draft picks outside the first round to turn them around they might wanna get a PP dept thats isnt an absolute embarrassment
Ok, Mr. Don't Trade For Gonzalez;
What would you have done today?

So true. As we have seen from these sports hernias in the past is that they take a good year to get back to 100%. Curtis wont have any positive effect this season. Looks like our Iggles are yet again settling to just get by..... :boo
how many superbowls do the cowboys have?
how many have the eagles won with REID and LURIE?
im sick and tired of this inaction. sitting one 2 first round picks and they refuse to trade for a 27 yr old WR who could be here for a long time? and pass on Tony G. who could have helped this season?
its just sickening. say what you want about jones but ever since he found his QB he has done everything to provide him with the best weapons in the game. TWO good backs, TWO of the best WRs in the game, and the best TE in the game.
the eagles have just one weapons for mcnabb in westbrook and rookie who they are counting on to save the special teams and the mediocre WR corps.
seriously how do you not trade for Roy? offer then one of your firsts but i bet the eagles did not even bother to offer because you know "WE ARE FINE AT THE WR POSITION".
hmm i wonder if they are so fine why that question comes seemingly every week every year.

i would have traded for roy williams in the offseason when the price was lower....but i def would have traded for him today rather than let him go to a division rival...but once again the eagles wanna keep their precious draft picks so they can make more horrible choices in april
after this weekends results plus acquiring roy williams would have sent some serious juice thru this organization...it literally would have elevated them to nfc championship contender...imagine what an already milquetoast locker room is thinking now and as someone mentioned especially donovan...its such a downer not just for us but for the team
they are getting kevin curtis make what more do you want
how long until Spadaro says that getting Curtis back is like adding a player for free?
not long now that you've given him the idea by posting it here
good work

Agreed on getting him in the off-season. But that was before Millen was canned and before they started out 0-fer.
And I agree 10000% they should have outbid Dallas because they have way more ammunition to get him. It is ridiculous. But they still should have gotten Tony G.
going into the bye week with the whole nfc east losing besides the eagles picking up either would have been a huge boost.
now the team will try to limp into the playoffs/wildcard relying way too heavily on mcnabb and westbook (both of whom will miss another 2-3 games). the team will win the final game against the cowboys since the cowboys will be #1 in the NFC and resting their starters. going into the offseason the FO will remind the fans how they beat the cowboys at the end.
I hate this FO... seriously. And the team's not far down on the hate-o-meter either.
For all we know they offered the same or more but Williams told them "no" to an extension.
It's not Madden, girls.
Sign Freddie Mitchell.

yeah but im sick of hearing this. "oh they were super aggressive!"
the eagles seem to be the only super aggressive team that never gets anything done. but when they have to trade out of the first round or move up for a O LINEMAN they sure do get it done.
eagles have the only FO that brags about getting outbid for players.
farging pathetic.

its always something isnt it
Yeah, it is. And I'm just as disgusted by it as anyone here.
Fact is, though, in this particular situation I think there was a lot more to it than just the Eagles being cheap or outbid by another team. Williams is a Texas guy and we've all heard at one time or another how much he wanted to play in Dallas. Now he gets his wish.
Again - not remotely happy about it at all but it is what it is.
Howie Roseman is the Player Personnel guy; all is well.
So will White be active on gamedays?
Because he shouldn't be given first run over Joe Mays.
I didn't hear a word about a single offer for Lito. I had hopes for Hunt when we drafted him but oh well. Westbrook better come back on fire after the bye or this team has no chance.
The run game is going to be in the shteinter against any team with a good D-line until Andrews returns.
reid just doesn't farging get it. to top it all off we'll see more trevor farging laws. no williams. release hunt (that's like 3 wtf moves right there), and we get a decent DT (who already had 2 sacks?) moved to FB so now laws gets more playing time. and no gonzo.
something needs to change. gm, coach, someone growing a pair and trying to farging contend...
the no roy williams thing really pisses me off. farg everyone.
You can't even make this stuff up.

run D will not be any better either with ATL coming up.
Well its a good thing those great corners don't need safety help all game long against any receiver, that means there'll be a safety free to help out more.
matt ryan is going to tear the secondary a new one.
Let's not get crazy now.
This is as angry as I've ever seen the fans at this team. It was close after the Carolina loss in 2003, but I think it has broken new ground new. Pretty much every place you go, the fans are tearing this front office a new one.
This team is really making themselves hard to root for with this madness.

Just as well, too, because Dawk is useless in coverage anymore.
He can't tackle bigger runners either, so his game is very well rounded.
well, while we're on the topic of dawk, i re-watched the game and he had 3 complete mistackles and 4 if you count the try-to-grab-davis-mistackle where he just shrugged him off and ran down the field for 25 yards.

Jean-Gilles does well enough but you can't run the same play behind him 3 times in a row:boom
twice in a row might be pushing it
It was even more fun when Jean-Gilles went out for a bit last week. Nick Cole represent!
I agree MJG has stepped it up a little bit lately. He had a real nice blockon Buck's long run down the right side, sealing off the edge. He's been pretty solid in pass D as well. I always catch myself watching him because he's where I expect the breakdown in protection to be... but he's consistently picked up blitzes his way, held his ground, and preserving the pocket giving McNabb the room to step up and throw.
He's not nearly as quick as Andrews is pulling or getting out on screens, but he's at least proving to be depth worth a damn, which is more than can be said for a lot of the backups along the line.
