Training camp opens in 30 days and this may be the most anticipated season since 2004, but for other reasons. It is essentially the second generation of Andy Reid. There's been so much turnover and it's basically coming down to Kevin Kolb. Did they guess right or wrong?
Other than that huge question, there's a few other things that are intriguing about this year. Post what you'll be looking for, what worries you and whatever else is on your hops encrusted brains.
1. Kevin Kolb - sink or swim, tough guy. Can he not hold the ball for seven seconds? He cannot escape pressure like McNabb did. Even when McNabb stopped running, his mobility within the pocket was invaluable. Kolb has shown that he will hold it too long and chunk it up in a panic leading to horrible picks. We're going to be watching a totally different QB. Is he going to be like Aaron Rodgers or Bobby Hoying?
2. Offensive Line - Jason Peters is the only known commodity right now. Herremans is having foot problems, who the hell is going to play center (Shipley or Cole), who's going to play RG, and is Winston Justice the answer on the right side?
Damn that's a scary thought right there.
3. Will they have a commitment to the running game? Probably. Whatever ridiculous reasoning Reid had for not running with McNabb didn't carry over when someone not named McNabb was quarterbacking. They've shown by caking off Weaver to go along with adding Bell will give a nice trio with Shady added in. But it doesn't matter if the OL cannot open any holes.
4. How's McDermott's second year going to be? Last year was tough on the whole defense with the transition from JJ to him. Can he get the best out of the new additions? Can he handle Asante's freelancing? What the hell will they do at RCB? Can Ellis Hobbs play well?
5. What kind of impact will Bobby April have? Can he make Rocca a good punter? Can he improve the coverage units? I think the draft will definitely help in that area.
There's a lot to be excited about though. The skill position players have the ability to be one of the better groups in the league. Pimp, Maclin, Avant, Celek, Shady, Weaver and Ingram are all young and loaded with potential.
Defensively I like the addition of Ernie Sims, Darryl Tapp, Ricky Sapp and Brandon Graham.
I also have a feeling that this is the year that Quintin Demps shows something.
Whatcha got...

Don't ever change, Phreak.
I only say that because it will piss me off because he never did it with 5. He waited until Neckbeard, Senor Fiery or Heather Mitts was under center.
basically this is a thinly veiled i miss donovan mcnabb thread
cobb sucks....but....if he somehow succeeds lets make sure that it doesnt become a referendum on donovan because the only reason it will have happened is because andy reid liked kevin cobb better and made it easier for him

I'm not counting down to shtein. This team proves year in and year out that it's going to perpetually suck. My expectations are very low. I could care less if they all get hurt in the offseason...because we all know the end to this story. It's going to suck...really bad. And what's worse is the journey to the end.
That said, can't wait to kickoff!
Phreak said nothing about running more with Kolb. He said when Garcia/Feeley/Detmer had to come in, they ran more. Because Kolb isn't McNabb, the trend would be to run more. We'll see, I doubt they'll run more, but with that mess of an O-line it may be the only viable path to success.

I am excited to see the young offensive skill players, but that isn't interesting because everyone is excited to see how they do. So here's my list of other things I'll be watching...
1. Defense. It sucked last year and while I like the additions they've made through the Draft and Ernie Sims, I also don't have much hope that their secondary will be anything other than porous. They need to shore that up if they're going to continue blitzing constantly.
2. Offensive line. So many unknowns. No consistency from year to year, game to game, possession to possession. With a new young QB this could lead to serious problems.
3. Games against the taterskins. These are always my favorite anyway, but this year it's gonna be silly.

Do you dispute any of what I said? Do you like the OL? And what the farg does the OL being a pile of shtein have to do with McNabb?

theres no trend here because theres no correlation btwn back up qb's who are only starting because of injury and an annointed full time starter of the team
andys #1 qb is going to run his number one offense...i would be shocked if cobbs run pass ratio is grossly different than mcnabbs

this season does not ride on cobbs shoulders because cobb could be really good and the team might still be only 8-8...or cobb could be really bad and the team could implode and get a top three pick next year...seasons dont ride on any one players shoulder unless the team is good enough to contend in the first place...ala nicole with the phillies this year
cobbs development this year is ultra important and ill be watching for that but its not important for the teams chances this year that he play well...because it would take an aligning of the planets for them to be in the superbowl mix
my top five things im looking at this year
1. cobbs progression
2. bradleys knee
3. does sapps talent and athletisicm transfer to the pro level
3. does HOF ingram make it to the regular season...and if so how good is he
4. macks second year advancement - is he on his way to being a stud or just a nice number 2
5. can graham play in the league and actually give you something off the edge
6. how much of a profit will jeff lurie make
Everyone will be watching Kolb. It's a big story and when the Eagles play the taterskins the first time, it could very well be the no.1 game in the NFL up to that point. Also, I feel that Kolb's play is a big part of how well this team does this year. When is a qb's play not an important part of a teams success? It's the most important position on the field. But the biggest question on this team isn't the play of the qb, it's the play of the offensive line. Right now, it seems to be in a shambles. Thank you Shawn Andrews.
I also feel that the Eagles will run the ball more because they have the possibility to have a very good backfield with Shady, Weaver and Bell. Reid can't be that dumb to throw Kolb to the wolves in his first season as a starter by passing 35-40 times a game. He's got the tools in the backfield, and I expect him to use them.
I have a big interest in the wr's, and how well they will do this year. I think they will play better simply because Kolb has shown to be a more accurate passer than McNabb, and I want to see what Celek, Maclin, and Pimp can really do with a qb who has the ability to his them in stride and not have them reaching back, over their heads, or having to almost lay on the friggen' turf to catch a pass. This team has never really shown what a true west coast offense can do simply because they've never had a qb accurate enough to make it work with yac.
qb is the most important position on the field
qb play is important to a team
an offensive line is important to good qb play
thrown to to wolves
tools in the backfield
its important to hit wr's in stride
yac
true west coast offense
mcnabb was not accurate
...and your point is?

He is already nothing like Bobby Hoying, he actually throws the ball down field. And while I agree he has shown tendencies of holding the ball too long like IGY said it was 2 NFL starts. Don't forget that McNabb was often guilty of holding the ball too long because he was afraid to throw to guys that weren't completely wide open.
No way this team is 8-8 if Kolb is "really good". Mcnabb was "really good" and they went 10-6, despite the defense rest of the team.
mcnabb was not really good...and its all about context...cobbs really good this year is not the same level as say tom bradys really good would be
cobb will be really good if he proves to be a legit nfl starter and shows the kind of promise we all hope for...for example if cobb does what mcnabb did last year that would be a really good season
not that a qb cant be really good and his team not so much....shtein schaub was great last year and houston was what 9-7...it happens all the time

He could be Bobby Hoying if he bombs. Hoying was the future and shtein the bed. Kolb is the future and can either take advantage or stink the joint up.
When I watched him in camp he held it a long time. That could have been a product of not being well versed in the offense yet. As he gets comfortable and knows where guys will be he won't have to hold it, it will be second nature to release to a spot.
But he better knock off staring guys down. That was one of his weaknesses coming out of Houston.
Speaking of the running game..link (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AoMk7zGk_FIgidWicvrgmqz.uLYF?slug=pfw-20100626_eagles_know_running_game_remains_vital)
I didn't realize Shady with his 637 yards set the record for an Eagle rookie back. I fully expect him to have well over 1,000 all purpose yards this year. He's secure now in the roll of starter. Last year was good for him playing behind Bwest starting out the year, proably seasoned him well.
thousand all purpose?
theres a good chance he gets 1000 rushing yards
if he doesnt g off in total yards something went wrong
It's possible Mike Bell could split time with Shady. I'd be fine with them both getting 1k total.
i think bell gets his fair share but no way is he anywhere near 1k total tardage
and he shouldnt significantly affect shadys yardage...he will eat away at his td total tho
I'd be happy with 13 to 15. That would be 4 to 5 hundred recieving.
As awful as the offensive line is likely to be I seriously doubt they have more than 1,500 yards rushing total as a team. It's going to be Kolb chucking the farger 35 times a game until he gets slaughtered by a defense licking its chops.
im actually trying to remain positive about the line...i dont think its going to be great and maybe not even good but rather than expect an apocalypse i think it ends up being ok...put it this way when the season ends i bet there will be at least two other bigger reasons as to why the team didnt make the playoffs and defense will def be one of them
on the panic scale for the upcoming season the defense is a 9 and the OL a 5
shtein cobb is a 6 or 7
I for one can't wait to run some Sunday afternoon errands, and post in game threads.
i hope one of your errands turns into an apocalypse
I think Bell is going to get the goal line touches, along with Weezy.
Think they're not serious about Kolb throwing it 500 times? Check this out:
QuoteCan Kolb Throw For 4,000 Yards In 2010?
June 27, 2010 | Last Updated: 6/27/10 7:19 PM ET | Comments (13)
Once upon a time, if a quarterback threw for more than 4,000 yards in a season it was considered a truly remarkable achievement. Well, this past season a record 10 quarterbacks surpassed the 4,000-yard plateau. Two seasons ago, six quarterbacks hit the milestone. In 2007, seven passed for over 4,000 yards which at the time was the record.
Obviously, the rule changes to benefit the passing game certainly have had an impact. However, only 43 quarterbacks in NFL history have reached the 4,000-yard mark and not one of them did it in an Eagles uniform. Donovan McNabb owns virtually every passing record, but the most yards he ever threw for in a season was 3,916 in 2008. Of course, it could be argued that if he wasn't rested for most of the final two games of the 2004 season he would have surpassed the mark. He finished with 3,875 yards, but the bottom line is he didn't crack four grand.
Kevin Kolb became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 300 yards in each of his first two starts (718 total) last season. If he were to keep that pace for the entire season, he'd crush the single-season NFL mark currently held by Dan Marino (5,084). While that's not expected, but would certainly be welcomed, here are two charts. The first includes the numbers of rookie quarterbacks who were declared full-time starters from the jump. The second chart lists players who, like Kolb, held the clipboard before taking over the starting role and what they did once they were in the spotlight. Yes, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, whose career path closely resembles Kolb's, is included.
God help us.

and i cant stop reading those first two comments
I posted it specifically because McPherson wrote it. They're getting out ahead of it to prepare everyone for what's coming and that's why it's so depressing.
i dont see it that way....its a given the eagles are going to throw a lot....thats andys offense...why anyone thought there would be big change in that dept. is strange to me
to me the piece was put together as a pro cobb/pro eagle piece of propaganda....by piecing together certain almost all successful qb's on those lists it makes cobbs future look bright and the eagles geniuses for bringing him along the way they did

Roob piece on HOF Ingram (http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/news_details/article/131/2010/july/18/ingram-manages-to-find-silver-lining-to-knee-injury.html)
QuoteHe hasn't played in an actual football game - preseason, regular season, postseason - since the 2007 Capital One Bowl in Orlando, when Michigan beat the Gators 41-35.
That was nearly 31 months ago.
Damn near 3 years out of football...I'm guessing he doesn't have much of an impact this year (or as an Eagle)
Abiamiri, Jamaal Jackson and Wost Manneans to start on PUP
Wait, what? Herremans' injury wasn't supposed to be serious.
has nothing to do with the seriousness of the injury...if you start him on the pup list before camp begins you can move him to the active roster at any time...this just means hes not ready to praticipate in full practices yet
Ah. I forgot some details about the PUP rules. Thanks.
should also mention that if you start camp on the active roster you cant be moved to the pup list...so someone who is out long term would also go on the list at this time...however that isnt the case with herremans...they just dont want him ballin just yet
Hasn't stopped his retarded tweets, though.

theres no way youd pull either one of the pieces of "info" out of a full article and post it...in fact thats an easy way to determine whether you should post twitters...if you wouldnt type up the info yourself and post it then the twit probably shouldnt be posted
if cobb is on the field screaming and holding his knee a twit is ok...otherwise theres a twitter thread...or post a full article tomorrow because twits are annoying as farg

And there goes all your Philadelphia cred. Congratulations.
hes more popular than westbrook which is a joke...im just wondering why...i suspect its because he had a cool name people could yell after he carried the ball....thats what im going with until i hear a better reason
because he had heart, guts, talent and most of all he busted his farging ass every time he took the field.
what reid did to him is criminal and it's one of the earliest points in this regime's tenure in philly that i began hating pretty much everything they are about.
I consider myself lucky to have been able to cheer Duce and then Westbrook right after him. Both are Eagles. Much love for them both.
i get why people like duce...and its all valid....just that the level of love for him always kinda takes me aback
and sorry romey but andy didnt do anything to him....he was stone cold done when they let him walk...duce was delusional and unrealistic about where he was at that point in his career

100% accurate. I remember when he held out of training camp for a new deal. After he walked his career was done, his Pittsburgh days were laughable.

got my "Paddy's Irish Pub" t-shirt to prove it
i never said i like duce more than westbrook. westbrook was a god just like duce was. fact is, though, both of them were royally farged over by the idiotic system reid employs. what's ironic is reid always held westbrook back for fear he'd get hurt, when in retrospect what he should have done is run his ass into the ground because he was getting hurt eventually no matter what.
as for duce, he was the lone bright spot on that horrendous 1999 team. it amazes me to this day he ran for over 1250 yards considering the dickbrain he had as a head coach.
Biggest regret I have is not getting a Duce jersey.
oh, and he was supposed to come to the University of Hawaii (pre june jones) but ended up at South Carolina.
years ago when we were at Dave and Busters we got a pool table next to Duce and his woman. Even with his girl there Duce preceded to talk football with us for a long time. Answered any questions we had about anything. He was cool as shtein in a normal night out on the town setting. cant beat that as a fan.

I was living in LA at the time and watched it at the Sports Harbour...a dive in Marina del Ray that housed about 200 Eagles fans. Was like the 700 level in LA. Loved that place. When they kicked the onsides kick, almost every mouth hit the floor. haha
Funny how one game changed the next 10 years
yeah, it would've been nice if they got a super bowl win out of that
it would have been just swell
Kolb and Vick have the day off. Kafka going to need an arm transplant.
QuoteGarry Cobb: It's early but Eagles 3rd round pick Daniel Te'o Nesheim was getting his butt kicked in the 1 on 1 pass rush drills today
LOL
But apparently both Sapp and Jeff Owens were impressive... against the undrafted rookie OL's.
GCobb may be telling the truth, but is there a worse reporter out there than him (and Eckel)?
According to Ray Diddy, the 5'8 WR from the Air Force is "really impressing" :paranoid

On CSN yesterday they said he was impressive.
can they at least put pads on before we start twittering about their play...not to mention the veterans arrive
troof
I've been watching the videos on PE.com and like what I see from Jeff Owens and Ricky Sapp.
The young talent they have on defense is one of the things I'm most excited about this year.

What Phreak said and I used up all my Hawaii defense on Victorino, Timmy and Nate Ilao, Danny boy, you're on your own.
Based on what I'm hearing, I'm prepared to be angry about Owens and/or Sapp getting cut in favor of Laws and/or Abiamiri.
Notre Dame sucks.

It just pisses me off when younger guys with more upside are turned away because the Eagles don't want to admit a mistake with an early pick (Laws). Maybe they can trade Laws for a Browns 6th rounder and save some face.
I was hearing a whole bunch of nonsense about Dobson Collins before camp, but most of the talk has definitely moved to Chad Hall. Cooper doesn't really count, because he was an early enough pick that you figure the Eagles almost have to keep him on the roster at least one year. Barring injury, the first 3 WR's are set. After that is Baskett, Cooper, Hall, and Collins... and they really can keep no more than three of those. And that would probably be if they only keep two TE's, and you know they ain't cutting Clay Harbor. You know what? It's never too early... New thread coming...

Love me some Ernie Sims
Couple reports on the EMB from camp, thought this one was pretty good, they all say the same thing about the same players. Sims seems to be shining early on:
QuoteI attended the morning session today and man was it PACKED! I have a few thoughts to share. Now I'm not the biggest football guru out there so I mainly focused on the offense and the skill positions.
1) Ironically, I will start with the defense. Ernie Sims had a great session, especially with his physical presence. He layed out a couple of receiver (especially Avant), garnering cheers from 10000 people. Very impressive debut for him. It seems like he has fit right in with the squad. They say he is small but didn't play small today.
2) DJax was being Djax today. Just ridiculous speed. There's nothing else that needs to be said.
3) Maclin was surprisingly quiet in the team drills. The one time KK looked his way, Bradley picked it off.
4) Speaking of Bradley, looked like he was moving very well. Similarly, Ingram looked like his knees are just fine. I wonder how his knee will respond to some of the pounding that he's about to take.
5) Kevin Kolb was mostly on but sometimes off. You can see the accuracy that the coaches rave about. His arm strength is GROSSLY underrated as he threw a couple of BOMBS to Djax (who was open all day). He stuck some throws in very tight windows quite well too. He hits recievers in sight and its cool to watch. He had two bad throws in the team drills. a) the pick to Bradley where, as Andy explained, Bradley fooled him. b) an incomplete pass to Celek where he actually threw behind him. Other than that, he hit people.
6) Two fights this morning: one involving ellis hobb and cooper. The other? Trent Cole vs the linemen.
7) You guys will see this on eagles live too but Weaver just knows how to connect with the fans. He seems like he's in heaven on earth here in Philly. Very impressive man.
That's all for now. I will give an afternoon update later
Good camp write up from Philly.com (http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/moving_the_chains/Observations_Hobbs_Cooper_mix_it_up.html)
its weird to think of this as a negative but sims plays too hard...to the point that he hurts himself and cant stay on the field.....good to know nothing has changed
Weaver would be everyone's favorite player if he'd just stop doing stupid shtein every few games on the field.
I guess Cooper and Hobbs went at it today. I wonder if Cooper tried to punch Ellis in the neck.....
Apparently Maclin is doing very well in the afternoon practice, for all of you who were worried
DeSean injured and carted off the field. People unsure of the injury at this point. Speculating back or leg.
super!
Season Over
So...6-10 instead of 8-8?
http://twitter.com/EaglesInsider
its spads but
DeSean Jackson left the field with a back injury. He's still being evaluated. less than a minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®
One day of practice, carrying the offense on his shoulders, and his back snaps like a twig.
Minor back injury. Quit whining.
Injury prone!
they should have never traded cliff lee.
No worries... I hear Freddie Mitchell remains unsigned.

Hobbs: "Riley gets riled up"
BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- The first fight of Eagles training camp broke out today and it was a doozy.
Under beautiful skies, in cool temperatures and in front of 8,328 fans, Riley Cooper and Ellis Hobbs mixed it up to the delight of practically everyone.
It was wide receiver vs. cornerback, rookie vs. veteran, big guy vs. small, second-team offense vs. first-team defense.
"It was just man-to-man bump-and-run," the 6-foot-3, 222-pound Cooper said. "He was on the line doing his job and I gave him a shove and he didn't like it. So we had a little talk about it."
They did more than just talk.
"I don't know what he's used to," Hobbs said. "I don't know if he knows it or not, but I watched his Florida film. And he's a guy that likes to pull and tug. Against LSU, he pulled a guy and [Tim] Tebow hit him on a 'go' route. So I knew that about him. He likes to put his hand on people and when you got a guy like that, they don't like to be touched. As you see, when he gets touched he gets riled up a little bit. Riley gets riled up. It is what it is. I'd rather see him do that than cower down. He did his job and I did my job and at the end of the day you squash it out on the field. It's over."
After they mixed it up, Hobbs turned and Cooper threw the 5-foot-9, 195-pound corner to the ground. And then ...
"I took his helmet off and thought about doing something," Hobbs said. "I tried to snap mine off to make it fair. But I'm not all about that. I'm about tough football. And I'm about playing football the right way if you're about to take cheap shots [and] wait until I turn around and knock me down. He had been doing that stuff in the previous practice. You guys hadn't been here yet. Just setting the tone. This is the defense. I don't know how everybody else feels, but I speak for myself, I'm not going to just sit here and take crap. We going to play hard, we're going to play hard the right way."
After Hobbs was tossed to the ground, linebacker Stewart Bradley came out of nowhere and knocked Cooper down.
"Ellis is like 110 pounds," Bradley said. "You got to stick up for him."
Hobbs appreciated the support.
"I love that," Hobbs said. "That's the thing -- we're not going to sit here and play dirty ball, but if you want to go low and you want to take it that way, we can go that route."
This is one matchup to follow for the rest of camp.
"It's going to happen," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "It's going to be competitive. I understand that. We got some new people out here trying to prove themselves. With competition comes fighting. Now, listen, I told the players, 'These things do happen, but don't make it a habit. We're not ultimate fighters, we're football players.'"
Ding, ding, ding.
Hobbs probably better get used to being rag dolled. Dude is tiny, and LOL at Bradley's comment.
lmao stewie
Mike Bell carted off with a hamstring injury, apparently a bad strain.
Asante Samuel carted into the locker room, walked ok, but no info reported yet
samuel doesnt want to practice-i'm surprised he made it this long
Asante Samuel is a lazy showboating douchebag.
30 seconds ago from Twitter.
Pimp and Bradley sit out (http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-eagles/DeSean_not_at_practice.html)
Quote
Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott said he hopes to have Bradley back soon, but provided little detail. The team has made clear that they are counting on Bradley to be a vocal and physical leader on the field.
Huh, still looking for a leader on D after getting rid of Darth, and are pushing it on Bradley wether he can do it or not. Being a leader on a football field doesn't work like that, you either have it or don't. A team shouldn't just say, "we are counting on you to be a leader". Even though Bradley is the play caller, he's still coming off of an acl injury, and the Eagles might be putting too much pressure on him.
He's shown he's capable of being a leader by his play on the field.
Yes, but only for a year. I'm not saying he can't do it, just that Eagles big wigs should keep their mouths quiet and let it happen. Especially after his injury last year. Let him handle it. If anything go easy on him.
Samuel's injury is a strained hamstring too.
sure it is
Like when Pimp feel over untouched? One has to wonder. I, for one, would like to think they're that smart.
wha?
English man.
I think he's saying they're both gold-bricking it, Samuel because he's a lazy farg, and DeSean because he's not getting a new contract and he's afraid of getting hurt.
unintentional best cf post EVER?
you need to choke on a fleshpop
Didn't see it mentioned;
They recalled the waivers on Mallett and he is back on the squad.
They released FB Dewayne Wright (so Charles Scott is playing 2nd team FB now)
The beginning of the end for a "big back" on the team is when they get tried at FB.

Pretty much.
Eagles brought back WR Jared Perry and cut DE Eric Moncur. Word on the street is that Moncur asked Howie Roseman to borrow $1.
Celek out with dehydration and Rucker out with a hamstring problem. Means two things:
1. Lots of reps for Clay Harbor and HOF Ingram
2. Rucker's chances of making the team went from really small to OMGLOLNICETRY
Also FYI: Moise Fokou out of the starting lineup and working in as an edge rusher and on the 2nd team. Akeem Jordan is now taking the reps at first team SAM...

oh snap
Antonio Dixon (possibly heat exhaustion) and Macho Harris both carted off.
Hmm 60-70 degrees today seems alittle funny this heat exhaustion...
Seems like there is alot more "injuries" in training camp this year. ::)
Are. Seems like there are a lot more....
Is that an are I see in your pocket? Or are you just some kind of weirdo?
So Stacey Andrews disappeared from camp, apparently.
Apparently Dixon had his bell rung.
it said S. Andrews, and for a second i forgot that fruity bitch was gone and this was the other fruity brother
Check that, he had an injured shoulder or some shtein.
Dixon has a concussion and Macho has a hamstring strain.
Didn't they hire new strength and conditioning guys?
Fail.
yeah, strength and conditioning can solve for concussions...Holy J sighting.
Apparently Brandon Graham was a beast today. Hopefully that continues.

Not talking about the brains, but the run of hammy's they've had the last few days.
i was hoping so, gotta keep those anger sharks in check. Hamstring Injuries = people who dont feel like practicing.
lol...I laughed harder than I probably should have at this
QuoteSpeaking of Jean-Gilles, I'm beginning to think he likes when the Eagles' quarterbacks throw interceptions. Two days in a row, after a pick, he starts running like a wild man with his arms flailing, as if he's looking for a defensive player to slam to the ground. The only problem is that the Eagles are in shorts and no pads, and there's no hitting. So Jean-Gilles just ends up shaking his head as if something very valuable were taken from him. This is very entertaining in person. I'm telling you.
Like reading that Graham is feeding all the tackles they put in front of him their lunch. Hopefully it translates.
:-D

Maclin went down holding his knee and had trouble getting off the cart at the locker room....YAY!
wonderful. Spads hasnt tweeted it, so its torn.
least it didnt happen on flight night
apparently hyperextended....altho i imagine it could still be tear of some sort at this early stage
ugh
could be a lot worse than hyperextended, got a break if it holds up
Rub some dirt on it.

yep they are extremely slow healing and usually take months....depending on severity of course
I doubt Dio had the same medical treatment and trainers that Maclin will have with the Eagles. He'll play opening day, no doubt.
i wouldnt be so sure....eagles yesterday said a month which was before a real diagnosis and more than likely on the optomistic side
hopefully when he gets looked at more in depth today its positive news
I'm sort of thankful he and Desean aren't practicing. The early word is they both look great in camp, so I don't see how going through the riggers and risking further injury does either any good. Maclin gained 6 lbs. of muscle in the offseason and Desean is the pimp so I have no concerns they won't be ready to go opening day.
it would be nice for kolb to continue to work with these guys.
especially in some preseason games....im not to worried about missing some practices...also in macks case being out for a month or more is not good for conditioning...even if he can play week one you have to wonder how effective he will be after having only practiced a handful of times during the summer
good news
r frank just said mack should be back practicing on sunday or monday
and raved about clay harbor saying hes way ahead of HOF ingram
yeah, sounds like Ingram will have trouble making the team
i think they could easily both make it by hof ingram basically taking a wr's spot...three "tight ends" and five wideouts instead of six and two...
without having been there yet i wouldnt be surprised if hof ingram is being slotted quite a bit at camp
rucker was also outplaying him though, so if they do keep 3 ingram still might not make it
i cant imagine keeping three te's and not keeping a guy with that kind of upside...that would be the point of keeping three....to have a guy just like that...coming off bad injuries but to much talent to cut
thats unless hes simply done as a football player and the injuries have taken more of a toll than any of us know
HOF isnt HOF worthy?
HoF Brown is
thank goodness. Sucks that Ingram isnt taking the step up, but i want to see him in a preseason game. Its sad, but i can not wait until Aug 13th. Nice to see Harbour is looking good.

When I am 1600 miles away I want to see football.
I am not bitching about them holding the FN, but rather the production of the WPHL people. My point stands that they can saturate the viewers with the charitable information with the cameras on the field.
Were the interviews with Reid and Douglas necessary? Or the awkward silence while they decided to flip the camera back to the booth? Why were Tolly and Baldy on the TV so much? For charity? No...because the production blew ass.
I didn't see it but I agree.
Also, I am tired sleepy and want to cuddle.

farg cuddling.
They replayed it again at 11 and they'll be showing it again in another hour. Watched a few minutes and it was nothing to get upset over....just a few plays like Lehigh and lots of fluff thrown in from Colleen Wolfe, that's all.....
It isn't even technically real football anyway. I didn't watch, but I don't believe they even tackled or hit. That's not real football. You'll get your fix this sunday with the HOF game and next week for the Jags game.
not only that but sd said you could have seen football on the website if thats what you really cared about
so did you donate last night igy ?

All I said was the coverage was horrendous and that has been backed up my a few other people here. I should have been more specific with the original post and said I was watching phl17, but damn IGY. Who pissed on your watermelon today?

you must not have ever read up on flight night...it only started last year so thats understandable...but both last and this year its never been advertised as football...maybe nfl network has portrayed it that way...i didnt see any of their ads for it....but the eagles make no bones about what its all about
Shut up, fagggggggggggggggs. HOF DJack was back at practice today.
just in time
Nick Cole left practice with an injury (http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/Nick_Cole_leaves_practice.html)
Probably a good thing, I heard he looks horrid at center.
Time for Big Stupid to shine!
The holy trinity of tc judgement (fans at camp, media, coaches and front office) are in agreement that Laws is having a great camp. Meaning he'll probably get injured in the 2nd preseason game.
Murphy's Laws?
Reid says offense needs to improve (http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-eagles/Reid_offense_needs_to_improve.html)
And Maclin is back at practice
From everything I read the D seems to have jelled a bit over the past week.
If they hadn't traded McNabb the offense would be fine![/crazyphreak]
lol...
Kolb's been pickariffic in practice lately.
Good to hear :yay
pickariffic = 2 picks
lately = yesterday
McNabb also threw two picks yesterday, including a pick-six to Byron Westbrook.
The real offensive concern in Eagles camp is that the O-line has been a turnstile.
some hope and a possible future with cobb >>>> an old annoying douche nozzle of qb who no one on the team likes or respects and cant get it done
Duds
QB Donovan McNabb. Many of us have come to the conclusion that he just doesn't look that great in practice most of the time. He hasn't exactly been on-target with his throws. He was better in the red zone, but even in the 7 on 7s – with no rush, it's easier to find open targets – he was off. Got picked by Carlos Rogers on one; would have been a touchdown.
Practice? We talkin' 'bout practice??
Seriously though, it all means ass until the season starts. Around week 8 or so we'll know whether Kolb is a player and McNabb can be a better QB without Reid.
I love how the so-called experts are predicting 5 & 6 wins for a team that went 11-5 last year.
Have the Eagles really regressed that much and more importantly have the other teams in the division gotten that much better?
I don't see it.
Who gives a shtein? It is probably because they got rid of McNabb.
its because they have an unknown first year starting qb and a terrible defense
i think they probably win more than 5 but theres a better chance of five than 11 thats for sure
Everyone is expecting a learning curve with Kolb, so that's probably a game or two right there. The oline was shoddy last year and they didn't really do anything to improve it this year.
Their defense, especially their secondary, was kind of a sieve and losing one of your two starting CB's doesn't really help that. Nate Allen could be dawk's replacement but to count on that his rookie year would be unwise. Stewie being back helps, but first year off the ACL tear and most people won't expect him to be himself.
I don't think it'll be as low as 6, but it isn't completely unreasonable to think so if they get some bad breaks/bounces in a few games.
I think the defense is going to be pretty good. The young guys they drafted along with Ernie Simms and Killa are going to have a good year, I think.
It hinges on Sean McDermott and the secondary.
Can McDermott scheme his own stuff? He's had a full year, not thrust into the gig like last year.
Can he control Asante and make him play the farging defense that is called?
Can Ellis Hobbs, Nate Allen and Quintin Mikell work together and play well?
I am more worried about the goddamn OL. The one time they need to address it and Reid ignores it. Any other year he'd draft 3 OG/C's.
Didn't read.
It was a good post, as are most of 54's, if you can get past the first part of him thinking the defense is going to be pretty good.
Schefter was at camp today, I wanted to steal his phone.
- I'll be surprised if the special teams aren't much better this season. Bobby April is vocal as farg and anal about details
- Tried watching some of the players not getting the spotlight like Darryl Tapp. Tapp looked good, he has a good burst off the ball but didn't stand out one way or another.
- As of right now I'd say sunshine is the 4th WR with Kelley Washington the 5th guy. Think Baskett (got banged up today) and Chad Hall get cut
- Brandon Graham and Nate Allen are both gonna be players. I'll be surprised if Graham isn't a double digit sack guy at some point in his career. Allen plays like a veteran. He made a couple of nice sticks. Didn't look like tackling was an issue for him.
- Stewie and Sims are the best LBs out there, there's a definite drop off after them.
- Maclin looks fine, he was on the field for a bit but did some stretching and stuff for the majority of practice
- Kolb looks good, it's nice to see a guy lead a receiver and not throw at his feet. Kafka has good touch on his ball. Vick looked like typical Vick, threw some lasers between traffic then overthrew an open receiver.
- O-line doesn't look good, especially the interior.
- During the afternoon practice Akers planted his foot wrong and grunted, then came off the field. I'm sure he's fine but it's worth noting.
Asante Samuel was talking shtein to the Offense all day long. During live contact 1st D vs. 2nd O Buckley ran up the middle and trucked him. He didn't say shtein the rest of the day.
I'm ok with INTs from Kolb if it means very seldomly seeing a 1 yard dump-off pass to a RB or FB on 3rd and 8.
Oh and the ball at the feet thing.
You know damn well Reid aint gonna stop calling flare routes to the FB on 3rd and 8.
And bombs to Jackson on 3rd and 2.
No doubt picks will be up this year but I don't see a huge drop in the offense #'s

There's a chance for fewer 3rd and 8 situations, at least.
Well as long as he continues to ignore the run on 3rd and short, then we're good.
no one "calls" a swing route to the fullback on third and 8...its there as a means of avoiding a sack or a last progression if all else fails...if a ball goes to a back in that scenario blame the wr's for not getting open the qb for bailing out on the play or bad protection...but its not on the coach
now sideline routes to a wr on third and two is a different story
wrong. Reid calls that.
not to a fullback he doesnt...he designs it into the play as an option but he doesnt say throw it to the fullback on this 3rd and 8....its a deep progression pattern
in fact he abhors throwing it to the fullback in high % situations much less on 3rd and longs
He called it to that idiot fullback from Minnesota in the playoff game against New Orleans from the 5 yard line on 3rd and goal.
Tapeh. How can we forget?

that wasnt a swing route nor was it 3rd and 8...not to mention inside the five yard line literally changes everything...however take those three factors away and it becomes a perfect analogy
dont get me wrong it was a horrible play it just doesnt apply to what we are talking about
say wha!?!?

But people who remember how the presumed starting o-line never got a single rep during last year's camp can't help but feel a little uneasy, with left guard Todd Herremans sitting out to rest his achy foot, center Jamaal Jackson still recovering from ACL surgery, and Jackson's replacement, Nick Cole, currently out with knee swelling. Andrews missed one workout last week with shoulder soreness but quickly returned.
At what point does building cohesiveness become a concern?
"It doesn't become a concern at all, man," Andrews said.
it's not a concern for andrews because he'll be on injured reserve by week 2.

i didn't read that but schefter tweeted the other day that the eagles were hitting each other harder than any team he's seen so far during camp.

grinding your players into dust during practice might be the single-most retarded thing i've ever heard of.
i tend to agree and im not defending it just suprised that theres a camp out there tougher than reids and that it was the lions
Well, to be fair, when I think of retards both Reid and the Lions are pretty high on my list of first thoughts.

It's nice to have all this information in one place.
How much slobbering has Graham and Allen got so far. Aug 13th cant get here soon enough
the graham hype seems legit...at least as much as camp hype can be...the allen stuff is all bunk so far
Stat of the day: So far in competitive drills this camp Avant has caught 80 passes and has 0 drops.
damn

Not if you've watched him at camp, he flies to the ball, doesn't blow coverage, and tackles well. I'd say he's more legit than Graham is.
i watched them both at camp this weekend...neither stood out to me but that was just one day
free safety could be the easiest position to look good in camp...because they dont blitz all they do is sit back and go to the ball
graham is dominating a position that can be judged in both one on one drills and live action...and has other players saying how good he is...allen has coaches and adam shefter saying hes doing well
now that doesnt mean graham isnt doing well because the eagles oline sucks but DE is an extremely difficult position in which to transfer your skills to the pro level and he seems to be doing it...which is why i put him way ahead of allen
I watched Allen stick with Desean one on one, fly to the sideline to make a great tackle, stick his head in the the center of the field to make a tackle, and play with good range. The guy is as legit as any Eagles defensive rookie I've seen over the past 5-10 years. I'm not knocking Graham, they had to chip him on a lot of plays, and like I said in my tc report, there's zero doubt in my mind he becomes a double digit sack guy.
I'm so farging excited to see all these kids flying around when the season comes. Just reading about how young these guys are and how long they are signed, if some things go right, they're going to be real good for a really long time.

well im not ready to annoint either one after seeing them for one practice im just saying i put way more stock in a rookie de doing well vs a rookie safety
in fact i cant recall the last time a rookie de had a good camp for the eagles where as there seems to be a standout safety almost every year and i put this on the fact that like i mentioned its easier to look good at that position

you mean as a starter?
cause i think he makes the team
Do they usually keep 4 safeties? I'm drawing a blank. If they only keep 3 I see him getting stuffed on the practice squad with Kurt Coleman making the team. Macho Harris makes it as a flex guy that can fill in at either CB or FS.
he isnt eligible for the ps.....coleman would go there as theres no way he makes the team over demps
and yes four safties
i dont see anyway he doesnt make the team...question is can he beat the rook out for the starting job
There's zero chance Demps beats Allen out...zero. Coleman is going to make the team as Mikell's backup. The real question is do they keep Macho over Demps
totally disagree...coleman is not going to be one injury away from being an nfl starter this year...that would be a catastrophe...he should just be happy to make the team
why not? Most teams backup safeties are young guys like Coleman. Guys that might never start in the league but are young and cheap enough to fill in for an injury.
Everything I've read about Coleman has been that he's all over the place and good in the box, although small. Granted, he's not going to be a starter, but if Allen or Mikell goes down it's a disaster. Could say that about a lot of the positions. Demps hasn't shown he's taken the step he needed to. If he is what he was last year, it's very likely he doesn't make it.
What does the CB depth chart looks like?
Samuel, Hobbs, Dong, Lindley and then what? Harris? I mean, couldn't the team just keep 9 DBs with Harris as the swing player? I like that idea because it will end this awful conversation.
how many teams have a seventh round rookie at back up saftey?
shtein how many teams have seventh round rookies back up at any position
theres just no way the eagles go into the season a quinton mikell injury away from their safties being nate allen and macho harris or nate allen and kurt coleman....in fact even with demps i wouldnt be surprised if they sign a veteran safety before the season starts
everyone has serious questions as to whether coleman can ever play in the nfl much less be a back up this year...theres more of a chance hes a first cut guy than he makes the two deep

with the possible exception of jason peters going down i cant think of one position that would be in as much trouble as safety if kurt coleman or macho harris was starting alongside a rookie
linebacker doesnt have a lot of depth but its also a position you can hide and its mistakes arent glorified like they are at safety or tackle
DeSean and Maclin in receivers' quarrel
BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin got into a brief argument late into the morning practice and spent the remainder of the practice and the walk off the field in an animated conversation.
"It's training camp. There's no bad vibe between us two," Maclin said. "We talked something out and that's all it was. I don't hate him, he doesn't hate me. We're still good. We're still friends. There was a little mix up and it's all good now."
Maclin wouldn't explain what brought about the spat, although it took place after a 7-on-7 drill. The two Eagles wide receivers walked off the field together and as they got closer to a gaggle of reporters, Maclin could be heard saying, "We're still cool."
They then proceeded to the autograph line where each signed for a number of fans.
"It was nothing major," Maclin said. "Like I said, it was over and done with. Like I said, 'We're still cool.'"
Jackson hasn't been talking to the media since he arrived at training camp.
As great as it is for the Eagles to have so many talented offensive skill players, there are always potential drawbacks. One of the concerns could be pass distribution.
As Maclin was asked about the quarrel, Jackson emerged from the locker room. Maclin was kiddingly asked by a reporter if the argument was about who was the bigger star.
"None of that," Maclin said.
The Eagles' two star receivers then walked separately to their cars -- Jackson's black Porsche and Maclin's white Range Rover -- and sped off.
no part of me thinks this is real
Fake.
how pathetic is mclain trying to blow this up by syaing there might not be enough balls to go around...as if they would be arguing about that in 7 on 7's...if anything in this humidity they probably dont want the ball...not to mention hes acting like they havent played together before...they basically have the same weapons on offense this year as last
i also wasnt aware that they are the ones who distribute the ball

The question is would it be any better with Demps being in the mix? If he plays like he did last year, I'd say no. So keep the new guy who shows he's football smart and has value on STs.

coleman was a seventh round pick that has yet to even play a preseason snap...yes he could be way worse than quinton demps...as in he might not even make the team...yet you have him on the two deep already
not to mention you are completely dismissing the notion that demps could have a comeback type season...and im not even saying he will but he is in the mix with allen for the starting position yet you give more credence to a 7th round rook being able to play in the nfl than a third year guy who
has started and
is in the mix to start this year

random sports writers making baseless evaluations from practice = legit source of information
the fact is demps isnt an nfl player and b graham is the second coming of reggie
stop being such a hater
I don't see why it's so hard to fathom the Eagles would use a 7th round pick as a backup when they've done it time and time again with undrafted f/a's. Not saying it makes it right but a guy can either play or can't play, how he got on the team at this point doesn't matter.
when have undrafted rookies time and time again been in the eagles two deep safety rotation?

Like SD said, it's not that I'm rooting for Coleman to be a backup. The hype machine is pimping him, and Demps is getting no play. If Demps is what he was last year, he's garbage. I have seen or heard anything that Demps is playing any better than he did last year. At this point what I'm saying is that it seems much more likely that the new blood makes the team. Whether or not that's a good thing is debatable, but it doesn't make it any less likely a scenario. Also, I don't think I've seen anywhere that Demps is in the mix with Allen. It's the opposite, Allen's walked away with it to this point, and will be given every opportunity to keep it. I think Demps has been running with the 2's and 3's exclusively.
in the first weeks of training camp when reporters cant buy a story to tell the hype machine is touting a small unhearlded 7th round safety who is trying to get past paralyzing a teammate....color me SHOCKED!
hype machine

In fact, Demps' play thus far during training camp has been an early bright spot in a secondary with a lot of questions.
Allen has performed well, too, but Demps is definitely putting pressure on the rookie to keep his level of play high.
"That's very accurate," coach Andy Reid said when asked whether Demps is pushing Allen for the starting job. "[Demps] has been making plays. He's doing well, and that sure is a plus."
and for the record i also dont care who wins the jobs....i want the best players out there...but its just not realistic to think kurt coleman is going to be the back up safety

In 2003 the back up safety's were Clinton Hart and Quintin Mikell. Mikell was an UDFA. Hart was never drafted and played in the AFL before the Eagles signed him in 2002.
Just saying.

Neither Hart or Mikell were drafted in the 7th round. Idiots. ::)

your obsession with message board politics over the topic at hand?
that as long as anyone can find theres been one (hart was like 27 and coming in from the euro league hardly a rookie) UFA rookie to back up at safety?
i never said its never happened i just said it doesnt happen time and time again that its very rare and the odds are way against coleman
but OMG quinton mikell did it seven years ago....the job is kurt colemans!
i may disagree with sd and dc but at least they have thought out valid opinions
you latched on to another persons response hoping it was a gotcha havas moment...you are in fact pathetic
lol speaking of pathetic ^^^^^^
Hart never played in NFL Europe. He played 2 seasons in arena football, one of which was in their "minor league".
He was, more or less, an UDFA. Unless you're saying you believe the level of talent and competition in the AFL, which is a different game anyway, is better than or at least on par with the NCAA...then fine. That's you're opinion and you're entitled to it.
But you laughing it off like it's not possible with the way Demps played last year and the camp that the young guy is supposedly having...well, that's very havas like, as was your response. Pathetic.
yes he did play in europe and stop addressing me
He played in NFL Europe for 10 weeks, then spent the final 6 games of the season as the back up, undrafted, rookie saftey who was only an injury away from playing. But are you really trying to make the point that the NFL Europe makes you not a rookie anymore?
At this point I don't know what you enjoy more, being wrong or being stubborn.
Sidenote-before he re-joined the team in the final 6 weeks, they only had one back up safety....a rookie UDFA. Other than that, Sheldon or Lito were going to have to play some safety if shtein hit the fan.
It's unpossible that Reid would do such a thing again...with the starters being a veteran safety and 2nd round rookie...

Yeah you're right I had to double check, the Eagles signed him an allocated him to Europe for the first half of his rookie season, he spent the last half with the team on the practice squad, literally an injury away from being activated and forced to play (lest they decided to sign some veteran had they needed to). You're like Fox news playing the spin game...whether he played in Europe or not has nothing to do with you being wrong that Reid wouldn't have an UDFA be the back up at safety. Let alone one of his own draft picks, 7th round or not.
Edit-Let's keep in mind that this was a guy that almost went into the year with an UDFA starting at WR, and DID go into the year with an UDFA being the #3 guy. Yeah different positions, but you're ig'nant if you don't believe that Reid would go with a late round draft pick/UDFA as a main back up.
edit: on second thought dont look up anything i wrote and stop addressing me

IGY, you don't have to say the exact words to mean it. You're spinning your wheels on 'oh they won't do that, they wouldn't put a 7th round pick in their top 4, rabble rabble rabble'....when the only basis for you saying that is your opinion/ridiculous man crush on Demps. I've proven that they've done it at least a couple times now, and don't see why they would shy away from doing so again. They're not exactly chasing down a SB this year.
that is incredibly accurate

actually, i was awaiting the predictable "pound your chest" response that would no doubt lead you into another cyber argument/bitchfest/i'm better than you gem with munson, a person with opinions you claim not to care about and yet you can never, ever resist the temptation of trying to show him who knows best.
you are beyond keystroke awesomness.

Errr, I posted valid football discussion/proof that Reid would do something like what was being talked about...and IGY can't resist the urge to attempt to insult when he's proven wrong. Every. time.
nothing ive said has been wrong you dope....its all my opinion...when kurt coleman wins the back up safety spot i will be wrong....and if it means that much to you at that point you and your posse can give me as much shtein as makes you happy
wrong would be saying clinton hart didnt play in nfl europe

Let's dispense with the bullshtein. Anyone other than IGY stating that more than likely would have prompted no response from you. I don't know IGY or anyone else on this board more or less than you, so I'm not carrying anyone's water, but you especially come out from under a farging rock just to antagonize or try to get a rise out of a certain few folks on the board, and more often then not, you ruin the types of conversations that were occurring normally on this board for years prior to your arrival.
I'm all for farging off and having an unusual, lewd, and offensive sense of humor, but the quality of just about every thread and section (with the exception of the No Hippos section where you are expressly forbidden to act like a farging child) of this board has fallen way off thanks to the likes of you and a few others.
You're wrong for acting like it's not possible. Which you are. Like if he makes the team and Demps doesn't it'll be an all time upset top 5 ever. But that's nothing new from you.
I really don't care who the 4th safety on the team ends up being, because if whoever he is ends up playing any significant time they're probably farged as it is. But you're asinine, high and mighty "state my opinion as if it is fact" ways are why anyone who even likes you still calls you a cockgoblin. If Coleman makes the team over Demps, you may be the only one here surprised by it. On the other hand, I don't think anyone here will be that shocked if Demps makes it over Coleman.
The only real shock will be if Harris doesn't make the team, as I think everyone has him in there as a lock.

I didn't have to "try to remember", and I didn't need to go look it up. I knew Mikell was an UDFA I just didn't know what year. When I looked THAT up, that's when I found that they also had another rookie UDFA back up.
That was the only year they've had to let one make the team, because they were "deep" (by their standards, certainly not by ours) at the position literally every year up until the last two. This year the position is pretty wide open, the top 2 are probably set, and it's anyone's game for the back up spots, that's including 7th round pick Coleman. You would be the only one shocked if Demps gets cut after the display of smelly ass he gave us last year.
Funny thing is I agree with you, I think Demps makes it over Coleman simply because they can send him to the PS or stash him away with some season ending "injury" like they do every year.
You are the most boring people in the world.

I was simply pointing out a flaw int he argument that they wouldn't keep coleman because he's a low round draft pick and wouldn't put him in the top 4.
Posting my opinion on who they keep was pointless because there were already 5 people posting their opinions on it and mine wouldn't have added anything new to the conversation. Pointing out something that disproved one of the reasons someone was using as part of their point, however, did.

This is especially rich coming from you, who for a while there was crawling out from his rock every couple weeks usually to post an insult directed at me.
PPinDC has more or less stopped posting since the IGY/Munson/MDS triumvirate of repetitiveness spiraled out of control. Same with Demon. Same with Beer Monkey.
Stop arguing with the man. Stop being an idiot. Just stop.
so again, anything further on the maclin/jackson dispute ? is there something brewing between these two ?
this is where you become such a simpleton....i was never saying he wouldnt win the job because reid wouldnt give it to a 7th round pick because they are a 7th round pick....do you have any idea how stupid that sounds...and the fact that you think thats what i meant shows that you are incapable of looking inside a debate and seeing past dumb shtein like that...most likely like i said because you have tunnel vision on trying to get me
by default seventh round picks arent very good....being a rookie puts you behind the eight ball that much more.....being small checkmark against....thrown on top of that is the fact that another rookie could be starting...and another guy in the mix is actually on the depth chart as cb
so if demps is gone you have mikell four rookies and a converted qb
so yes if someone like that beat out quinton demps i would be shocked
only to your dumb ass would i have to explain all this
Quote from: ice grillin you on August 10, 2010, 04:19:19 PM

You do yourself and all of us a disservice every time you give him a response to anything he says.
So you're saying that because he was drafted in the 7th round, he won't be good by default...yet our current best safety made the team as an UDFA.
We're talking about the 4th safety spot....there's no "being behind the 8 ball" there, whoever is having the best camp and showing they can play in this defense is going to get the job. They're not fighting for a starting spot, they're fighting to see who gets to come in after Allen and Macho get injured. The only other factors that come in have already been mentioned...that he can easily be stashed away on IR or the practice squad, which is what gives Demps the advantage. It's his only advantage, because his play and knowledge of the playbook that he
should have over a rookie certainly aren't separating him from the pack
Quotethrown on top of that is the fact that another rookie could be starting...and another guy in the mix is actually on the depth chart as cb
The year Mikell made the team as the 3rd safety, the starters were a veteran and a 2nd year, 2nd round draft pick who had only started 4 games the year prior. So Michael Lewis had 4 starts on Nate Allen, with maybe half the athleticism. That's certainly the year to take the "risk" of having an UDFA as your back up.

The point is, the article said more than the last five pages of this thread.
I like how the media seems to be trying to make something outta' nothing because Maclin and Pimp might have had a few words. How come everytime a player comes out of the locker room, they "jump" into their car and "sped off". They make it sound like they laid rubber for a quarter mile.
cause its practice and its not interesting and they need to sell papers and get page views
They're all just trying to make a buck filling papers and TV time, man. Plus it's only football, I'd be more ethically concerned about the horseshtein they fill rest of the paper with.

Your pension for making every thread about me, or whatever poster you happen to be disagreeing with at the time, is what derails so many threads. This happens especially when you're wrong and have nothing left to do but 1. Restate your original opinion as the stone cold fact that it is, and 2. Hurl insults at whoever said otherwise like what they said is completely off base, because in your warped mind, it is.
You can never stay on topic during a discussion that involves disagreement, which is why it's a godsend that you have stayed out of no hippos. The thought of being wrong without being able to try and belittle the other person and their opinion must frighten you. But your self banning is hilarious...take a look around, I wasn't the one that was making every thread about me. That was you and your jew ball clinger.
Proven once more by the thread getting back on track, only for you to come back 12 hours later and post about it again, instead of just letting it go.

so he protested the mcnabb trade then spent $80 bucks on a kolb TC jersey. yep makes sense.

Maybe he just really likes the color red. Er, burgundy.
I wonder what the reaction is in PHL; more sided to the fan or the team?

I imagined Cataldi's head exploding.
Chance to rip the Eagles for being like the gestapo; but the dickhead was wearing a McNabb jersey. Who to rip?
no when he talked about it he was killing the guy for it...and not even mcnabb because it was taterskins...if theres anything he hates more than banner or mcnabb its visiting fans/teams
really i dont know anyone who likes mcnabb anymore and all the hosts were killing the taterskin aspect of it...only time they mentioned the mcnabb part of it was in mentioning how much of an ahole the guy was for trying to blatantly start shtein
honestly tho it got very little run
much less than the people from reading who turned from eagle to skin fans and went to skins camp last week to support mcnabb...gargano actually had the wife on the radio the other day and just murdered her
lol..whose wife?
People actually drove to Skins camp to support the guy?
Look, I loved McNabb and think the Eagles made a huge mistake. But I am not trekking down to mingle amongst those cretins to support any player.
oh you didnt hear about them...they actually made sportscenter
they were lifelong eagle fans and switched teams when mcnabb went down there...last week they were at skins camp with some awful sign that said "used to be eagle fans....." blah blah blah
Awful.
What did she say to Gargano?
babbling about how the eagles treated mcnabb so badly and he was their favorite player....weak sauce shtein....then gargano started blasting her telling her she couldnt root for the phillies anymore (they are huge phillie fans) or any philly teams for that matter...once he started getting heated she didnt give much push back...shes an elder from pennsyltucky....no match for cuz

Now they're trying to see if they can make some use of his speed in nickel packages as a standup defensive end.

i dont want either of them at sam but im pretty sure they are essentially the same size...and from what ive seen id say foku is a little more physical

Not really.
As for Fokou/Akeem...I thought Fokou was taller.
But he takes dumb penalties.

shhh i just got a case of shiner and spent the weekend in austin AND i applied for a job in san antonio
texas4life
Ugh, please tell me you're not looking to move TO San Antonio. I can't wait to get out of this hell hole. 5 more months!!
Um, yeah back to the stupid arguings. Go Eagles or whatever...
Where the hell have you been?
And I'd gladly take SA over Houston.
I've been here. Password wasn't working for a while so couldn't actually log in for a time so just been reading. And there's at least shtein to do in Houston, but driving around over there is a bitch. Have they fixed the damn highways yet or are they still torn to shreds?
The roads suck. I curse driving here all day long. My boy lives in SA and I try to get out there as much as I can. Ain't much to do here.
I saw an interesting fact the other day; Houston is about 600 square miles. Philadelphia is about 135. I hate spread out cities.

Celek missed this morning's practice because he ate cheesecake that he left in his car for over 5 hours yesterday. smrt
What sort of brainiac leaves cheesecake in a car for 5 hours and then decides that its cool to eat after baking in a hot care?
Cheesecake is one of those foods you chance it with imo
Forget about eating it, how was it even in a solid state after 5 hours in a car? I'd think it would liquefy after about 45 minutes depending on the heat. Down here I wouldn't even touch it after 10 minutes much less 5 hours. Dude's got guts, I'll give him that...
...though he probably puked them up after eating that shtein.
lets say i get this job (which i wont)
3 MAN ORGY IN TEXAS
so, business as usual

yeah you never heard that before.....makes me sick....its how pos cities like houston and phoenix rank ahead of philly in population.....jacksonville does this too....that back ass town actually ranks in the top 15 i believe....it would be like philly counting bucks montgomery and delaware counties in its population
It's definitely something to get upset about.
then im doing well for myself cause it constantly gets me heated
5-hour cheesecake? i don't see the problem. i'd go much longer than that.

someone who just smoked some nice shtein.
Mosher says that HOF Ingram is not standing out at all and could very well not make the team. Harbor is definitely the #2 right now.
harbor has been two since the first days of camp....the question all along with hof ingram is do the eagles wanna use a spot for him this year while his knee gets back to 100%...hof ingram is also ps eligible so i suppose that is a possibility altho i would imagine hed be scooped up there
I hope he goes to the practice squad and someone claims him just so I never have to read about his friggin chest dents again. He and HOF Barksdale can dry hump each other to death in oblivion for all I care.

I would have torn his larynx out if I had ever been given the chance... then came the week one punt fumble loss to Green Bay and I wanted him back on the team. That was the moment my self loathing was at its apex. Just a horrible moment in the life of rjs246.

not last year but reid has done it numerous times over his tenure
of course they have never had wrs quite like they do now
it really comes down to how deep at wr he wants to go or does he wanna do an 11th ol since its in a shambles
id say it will come down to hof graham an austin howard type or someone like chad hall

Didinger was saying Hall is going to get a legit shot at being the punt returner for this team. He thinks they want to conserve Pimp. He said he was highly skeptical of the hype Hall was getting but he said watching him he looks legit.
right...thats why i say its down to a hall or hof ingram as right now they are both special cases
with hall do you wanna take up a roster spot for a return specialist
with hof ingram do you wanna take up a spot for a guy that hasnt played in two years but has high upside potential
seems to me you wouldnt wanna give up on ingram this soon...but maybe they feel his knee is a permanent problem or maybe they see something else that we have no idea about like a complete failure to grasp film or some shtein that completely overshadows his extreme talent...otherwise youd think they take a chance on him
After I don't even know how many knee injuries Buckhalter had, the Eagles still never gave up on him and I'd imagine the same will hold true with Ingram....provided that Ingram shows enough potential.
cut him and move on

I just took a really messy shtein.
Great story on Akers (http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/eagles/20100819_David_Akers_loyal_to_Eagles__Philly__in_sickness_and_in_health.html?viewAll=y)
Chronicles his entire career and how he almost died while playing for NFL Europe.
I also found this interesting:
Quote
Akers said he has not spoken to Koy Detmer in several years, but both he and Erika had nothing but good things to say about him.
He evidently got screwed by Ty and Koy Detmers investment firm and may end up with nothing when he is done playing.
He invested with a guy that considers a trash bag "luggage"?

i dont care and it doesnt make me like or dislike akers anymore or less....but it also doesnt make an appealing read for me...especially his loonie bin wife
The word 'loonie bin' doesn't get enough play. My grandmom used to say it to me growing up "you're going to send me to the loonie bin"...with her you could also substitute loonie bin with Byberry
Fair enough. I don't think a small portion of a story trumps the rest, but to each their own.

My wife read that book, she thought it was zombie related, end of the world, and had no clue until halfway thru it was some weird christian book.
I have to admit I saw the first Left Behind movie with Kirk Cameron and I enjoyed it immensely. It was so over-the-top cheesy and amateurish, I couldn't quite believe they did it sober and with straight faces.
The fact that they did makes it all the more hilarious.
