QuoteBrent Celek will start for Eagles TE L.J. Smith. On defense, the Eagles will start Will linebacker Akeem Jordan for Omar Gaither, believing he can stick with Ravens rookie RB Ray Rice.
I'll just repeat what I've been saying since the pre-season: Gaither needs to be moved back to the middle, Bradley back to the SAM, and Jordan or whoever can start at the WIL. Gocong becomes a situational DE. That they put 3 years into Gocong at the SAM doesn't mean its worked and they should stick with it.
Smith will probably wind up with the Vikings next season.
I don't know about that;
Bradley is better at MLB than Gaither was. OG got ripped inside. He is the definition of a WIL.

I disagree big time, Gaither was fine in the middle last season, the run D wasn't as bad as it is now.
Couldn't give less of a shtein about Smith being benched. He's a loser, plain and simple and he should have been shown the door years ago. Gaither, on the other hand, I don't see why he's being benched. He hasn't played that badly, certainly not as badly as Gocong.
This team is hot garbage any way you look at it and moves like this reek of desperation. It's quite pathetic, actually.
anyone want to dig up a post 3 years ago proclaiming akeem jordan my boy? look now son, stillupfront's mom is starting in the nfl. farg the haters we did it g.
I've stopped caring until I see the "Andy Reid Fired" thread appear. Anything prior to that is useless window dressing.

If I wasn't worried about getting sued by your relatives I'd suggest various ways of suicide for you to choose from.
I love how they wait until crisis mode to bench that bum LJ.
He refused to sign an extension so now he's benched. Totally farging shocking if you ask me.
He's also been mediocre. Celek is no superstar, but at this point, he's just as effective as L.J. (not saying much) with more upside (saying even less).
The offense has been PUTRID for 2 games and Andy benches the LB. Brilliant!
farg LJ Smith, he is a bust. We don't have one good linebacker on the squad. Name a team with worse linebackers
But hey, at least that Witten guy never amounted to anything.

Then why was the run D so much better last season...Takeo Spikes?
I'm shocked they benched LJ. I know he sucks but benching him may damage their chances of getting a 5 round comp pick rather than a 6th.

Kimo Von Oelhoffen.
im not even sure it was better last year
There are rumors that Gaither was benched because he declined a contract extension. not that we'll ever know the truth, but both John Clarke and Derrick Gunn have hinted at this.
Whether you want to admit it or not...this team not that far above Browns/Lions/Bengals level. They are the NY Mets of the NFL...without the titles.
banner black ball a guy because of contract issues?....unpossible
granted the guys theyve shoved under the bus havent really been all that good, but it just goes to show what kind of organization this is and what kind of people run the show.
its sickening and even worse when they get big time fa's like asante to come here because that reinforces the success they believe theyve had. when in fact they have failed every year, as i cant recall winning a superbowl title.
They were benched by Andy's motivational benching wheel o'fun. Stay tuned next week when they take a spin and bench Westbrook for being to short...

You know, you don't have so negative with these things all the time. Maybe Babatunde Oluwasegun Temitope Oluwakorede Adisa "Baba" Oshinowo, Jr., Phi. Eagle, wins a free 3 day stay in the Reid drug emporium.
