i would like to see moats and greg lewis in a debate.

This whole blog thing is the dumbest thing to be put on the Eagles Website since Spads. And it was a close finish. Moats writes like a Harvard Scholar though. Absolutely farging captivating. Good thing he is real fast.

Maybe the moral of the whole blog thing is: If you have children that are getting ready for college, don't send them to Louisiana Tech.

Another great literary work. He loves turf.

QuoteI'm just preparing for the next game. I just got out of meetings. Today is the first day of getting into the film on the Rams.

I don't think my role is any different for this week. I think it's the same.

There are three phases of being a running back that I have had to learn this year.

In protection, I give myself a B. Maybe. I want to see myself get into all of the situations in the game, then I can really grade myself. In practice, it's not spinning in my mind anymore. It's becoming second nature.

In the passing, I know my routes. There are still some situations that I need to be in that I haven't been in. I think I know them well enough to get into the game. But it's up to the coaches to see where I'm at. I can tell myself where I'm at, but I'm not going to give myself a low score.

And the third is running, I've become comfortable enough that I have been able to get on the field.

This Sunday we're playing in St. Louis and on turf. I love playing on turf. It's so fast. I've always loved turf. When I was in high school I would get so excited when we were playing on turf. The first time I played on turf, I realized how fast I could be.

The first time I played on turf was against Odessa Permian. Yes, that's the same team featured in the movie "Friday Night Lights." It was in Odessa. I played on their turf and had my breakout game. I went for over 100 yards against them. It was one of my memorable games. I was a little sophomore playing on varsity.

I had these shoes, they were the lightest turf shoes I ever had in my life. They were like paper. I had a nickname for the shoes, but I forgot the name of them. But they were blazing fast. And they were solid white. I looked funny wearing an all black uniform with solid white shoes, but I didn't care.

For Christmas I want a toy robot, a new bike, and a baby sister.

Ryan Moats would be in the HOF if the Eagles still played at the Vet.

General_Failure · December 14, 2005, 10:36:22 PM

Or sitting on IR with Buckhalter.

Geowhizzer · December 14, 2005, 10:38:20 PM

Or dead.

rjs246 · December 14, 2005, 10:39:03 PM

Get Buckhalter!

QuoteI just got out of meetings. I saw that Sam Gado is going to win the rookie of the week award. It doesn't really mean anything. Being named the player of the week is not going to help me here. Of course it's nice to get recognized. Sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't.

I want to thank all of the fans out there for their support. Just to let you know, I'm reading all of the comments. I know what you guys are saying.

I have a lot of memories of the fans from back home. I always treated the fans good. I would stay after games and sign autographs for hours because I didn't want to miss anybody.

I've met a lot of good fans and a lot of good people. They've been very hospitable.

The fans here are good. They pay attention to every single thing.

Now, Texas is football city too. So, I'm used to good fans. I wouldn't even call them fans I call them friends. I call them friends because I get to meet them at some point.

I get a lot of fan mail here and I promise that I read all of it. I'm in the process of replying to it now. I got this letter from a little boy who said that most of the guys send the letters back when their careers are done. I laughed at that, but it's true because it's hard to find the time until your career is over. But that's why I want to get mine out during my career. It's hard to find the time though. There's a lot going on right now. But I'm getting to it.

I want you to know my site is coming along and it won't be like anything else out there. It's going to be awesome. I really want to do into detail about it, but I want to keep it a surprise. When it's done, hopefully, I can connect to something from the Eagles' web site. By the end of this coming summer, it should be up and running.

You'll have to check out the flash cartoon this week on the Eagles' site. They put me in a cartoon. I really don't like the comparison to Mighty Mouse, but I know that it's not meant to be done in a bad way. I know it's meant in a good way. People have called me Mighty Moats before.

If I were to create my own cartoon, I would call my cartoon "Gitmo." It's my nickname from college that means "Give It To Moats." I'll have to draw up a character and see what I can do with it.

ok...let's lock this thread and never mention this again.

Did anybody see Spuds "On the Inside" on Moats from PE.com today?

I like the kid too, but I think he went just a tad bit over the top with all his excitement.

Rome · December 19, 2005, 12:08:17 PM

I'd be more excited about him if Reid would let him run the ball more than 10-15 times a game.

If the kid can run it 20-25 times, then let him do so. Gordon sucks ass and Mahe is a worthless piece of shtein. Give the ball to Moats and let him do something behind those behemoths on the offensive line.

my thoughts exactly. this season has gone down the toilet, but one positive is that you get to see what the kid can do against starting defenses. give it to him 25 times, see how he reacts. also, i think they should be starting McMullen at a WR spot with Reggie Brown, see if McMullen has anything he can add to the team in the future, enough with Greg Lewis
