hello! the guy's name is macho which means that not only is it a virtual lock for him to make the hof, but it's also going to give us no less than at least 3 awesome macho jokes during each telecast. how can this possibly be a bad thing? do you people have no vision?
Macho Harris will be a Pro Bowl starter by year 3. Book it.

Macho Harris will be a Pro Bowl starter in New England by year 3. Book it.
I suppose the crowd will sing "macho macho ma-an"
Hey, New England will miss that fifth rounder they'll give up for him.
This team is such a joke.
I guess FS this year will be like the punt returner situation from 2 yrs ago or the FB joke from last yr.

After watching Demps and his Downy soft tackling during the preseason, I'm not surprised.
Was Jones ever an option at FS? I thought he was strictly a SS.
Anyone willing to at least wait and see how he plays, and Dawk does for that matter before killing this move? If it turns out bad, kill it then.
The Eagles definitely should have signed Dawkins no matter how awful he looked against the pass last year.
Demps sucks. Not surprised at all by this move.

this isnt a "move"....this just happened because their is no one better on the roster to play the position....you think macho harris was some sort of master plan...
No I don't. Regardless of how you want to label it, the question still remains the same. Can't you give it a shot to see how it works before burying Harris at safety?
If he sucks, then ok. What if he turns out to be a stud?

Point is, the Eagles should have waited to see if they had ANYONE else capable of playing the position before they decided to throw Dawk to the scrap heap.
It's like quitting a job before you've got another one.

I don't agree with that. Six months is a long enough period of time to find and sign a player capable of starting in the NFL, at any position. And for all we know, they have.
If they failed at doing that, the problem wasn't necessarily getting rid of Dawkins, it was doing a zesty job of trying to get someone to replace him.
even if they had dawks replacement which they didnt....they should have signed him and let him tutor the young guys while sharing time with them if he couldnt perform full time
you cant put a price on that especially a few million bucks...the bottom line remains the same there is not a single reason he shouldnt be on the team right now...macho harris just makes it look even worse
Letting of Dawkins cause they think he lost it is one thing. To automatically promote a rookie who barely saw the field outside of special teams simply because the philosophy dictates they start him is what pisses me off. They did not even try to find someone better in the off-season (a player from the Browns does not count) and simply assumed Demps must be ready since he was selected by them. See also Gocong and countless others.
Thank God they saved that seven million.

this cannot be understated
altho unless i forgot about one and someone correct me if im wrong but i believe this year in the first in forever where an UFA did not make the eagles 53 man
Did Macho win the job or the other 2 suckers lose it?
im quite certain a 5th round rookie cb didnt win the free safety position
it wouldnt surprise me if macho had the least snaps of the four sunday

this.
Macho has shown some flashes...but he should be playing STs and in certain packages with Dawk still starting.
Quintin Demps assumed the job was his, and that was the worst thing he could have done. Especially since he wasn't all that great last year.
QuoteAlso, Demps indicated the kick return job won't be his as well. Responsibility appears to have fallen to Ellis Hobbs.

Keep it shut, Demps.
Your mouth lost everything for you.
I honestly don't remember seeing Macho show a flash the whole preseason. Then again, I haven't seen him get burned, either. So if he's another solid but unspectacular defensive player, he'll fit right in.
He showed a few things...one thing that stuck out to me was his STs play, but that probably wn't matter now.
Anyways, Demps seems to have put a sock in it...
QuoteQuintin Demps entered this year's training camp as the starting free safety. He remained in that spot for all four preseason games. However, when the Eagles open the 2009 regular season at the Carolina Panthers this Sunday, it will be Macho Harris who lines up alongside Quintin Mikell at the free safety position.
Demps told reporters following Monday's 10-10-10 practice that it was Harris who took the first-team reps.
"We're all men. We all could tell that I wasn't being consistent enough," Demps said. "There's no sugarcoating it in the NFL. It is what it is.
"We're still competing. It's still a competition. I just have to go in there and compete everyday. Keep it moving."
In fact, Demps will not be the lead kickoff returner either. Instead, Ellis Hobbs will take over that role.
Demps had the benefit of transitioning into the safety role behind two All-Pros in Mikell and Brian Dawkins. By the end of the season, Demps was integrated into the defense in three-safety sets to bolster the run defense. Harris, a fifth-round pick out of Virginia Tech, will not have that luxury. However, Demps is confident in his teammate.
"I don't think it will be too difficult. He's a competitor. He's got guys around him that are going to help him out a lot, be there for him and guide him through," Demps said.
As a rookie in 2008, Demps had nine tackles and a sack. His biggest impact was as a kickoff returner where he averaged 25.3 yards per return and had one touchdown - a 100-yard score against the Ravens. Demps admitted that by entering training camp and the preseason as the starter changed his mindset and opened the door for Harris.
"He just had that hunger. When you first come in, like I came in last year, you come in with nothing to lose. In my second year, I felt like I had a lot to lose," Demps said. "I was playing not to lose instead of to win. He came in with nothing to lose. That's how you have to be."
Even with the late change, Demps has faith that the secondary will flourish like it did last year when the Eagles ranked third in the NFL against the pass.
"We're good, on our way to being great," Demps said.
Hobbs is a great return guy and there shouldn't have been any question about him getting that role, especially seeing as how he's not a starting corner. Only reason to see Demps is for an occasional changeup or if Hobbs gets promoted to starter for some reason.
harris is starting because of a little know rule in the nfl rule book that states that no nfl team can ever start 2 players named quintin in the same defensive backfield.
Is DJack going to be returning the punts? I'm sure he'll be getting a lot more action on offense this year, don't want him to get warn down. But no one else really proved they could do it in the preseason.
ha....wow

Greg Lewis was cut by the Pats...I am sure if need be they can bring him in to return punts.
God forbid, a typo at 3 in the morning ::)
wirn would have been a typo
You of all people should not be talking about incorrect spelling and grammar.
are you really arguing youre not a stump?
im hardly einstein but damn you make me feel intelligent as a motherfarger
I'm saying I'm smarter now then you ever were or ever could be.
Spelling mistakes on a MB not withstanding, which you won't be winning an award for any time soon, and should probably never ever laugh when someone else makes one.

The natural, inevitable and inescapable conclusion to every... single CF thread.
Well if IGY and his jew slave could hop off my nuts even when I'm not around and living life outside the internet, we could get back to arguing why the Eagles will be 9-7 and not 10-6.
Couldn't be more wrong. 9-6-1 at best.
You can't tie a game in the NFL.

ahaha
munson really has to be an in bred half wit....he just has to
i wonder if he even thinks about why everyone hes ever come across clowns him to no end...
Good first game today, everyone agree?
i didnt think so...made some horrible tackle attempts..but overall was pretty much invisible...which for a rookie corner playing safety isnt a horrible thing i guess
he was mentioned less than Justice and Peters. win
Peters was a good investment.
2 mil per false start this year. Over or under?
Under?
they didn't really attack him as much as i thought they would. hard to tell what his deal is yet.
Being attacked with a wet noodle isn't so intimidating.
wasn't that opening TD his containment?
im pretty sure it was mikell who over-perused williams when 10 other guys could have made the tackle
Well, what do you expect? Without Demps out there, he was working at only 50% Q-Rate.
the announcers called out mikell for that williams loss of contain but imo it was more on killa
Quote from: ice grillin you on September 14, 2009, 10:22:44 AM

and Gocong taking a horrible angle. Gocong didnt expect williams to take the corner that quick. Gocong did have a very solid game after that.
Stop saying Gocong.
Vietcong
Better.
solid game for gocong = stay the farg out fo the way and dont mess up...i think he had one tackle yesteday and no major farg ups...ill take that everytime till they upgrade his position in 2015
His one tackle was a goal line 4th and 1, no?
and a pass defended too, I think?
yeah, if he had grabbed that pass at the 5yd line instead of batting it down, IGY might have a bit more love.
Back to Macho, love the dooo
actually if i didnt have to watch thomas davis and jon beason all day i would have been better with it
Thomas Davis took forever to become what he is now. But he's damn good. Beason didnt do shtein the entire first two quarters, and looked good against Kolb = wash
beason was playing on one knee and was still better than any eagle linebacker
and thomas davis has been good for a while now
other than that right on
