Looking Ahead: Offseason Wishlist

They don't even have a head coach right now. Gotta think they'll have trouble getting their shtein in gear in time to be in on the action.

i would take duce and ike both back in a jiffy. they provide leadership and ike is especially of high character. they would also help the team unify around mcnabb if anyone is even questioning his leadership.

I say move on. Ike & Duce were great when they were in Philly, but they aren't getting any younger.

i happen to know that ike is in fact getting younger.

Neither of them would be brought in to be the future of the franchise or even to be stopgap solutions, they would be brought in for the same reasons that veteran are brought in in every sport. To contribute where they can and to lead, and solidify team unity and build character in the future leaders of the team. They both have enough left in the tank to contribute and with the lack of sufficient leadership that this season exposed they would be important additions. But whatever. Won't happen.

sweet, so in about 10 years we'll realize he's not good enough to start at LB.

We could probably use Ike to coach the defense now.

We could ~~probably~~ definitely use Ike to coach ~~the defense~~ special teams now.

Agreed.

General_Failure · January 10, 2006, 06:10:38 PM

Hell, fire Morningwood and let Ike run the friggin' offense.

rjs246 · January 10, 2006, 06:11:19 PM

Now we're getting somewhere.

General_Failure · January 10, 2006, 06:12:29 PM

Lurie needs to sell the team to Ike.

Hell, Ike can come over and farg my sister!

I think I'd like to see the Eagles take a big back later in the draft - say rounds three or four. Some dude that'll get a few snaps at the goal line, or when it's 3rd and 1, and he can mix it in at FB. Doesn't have to be a stud. Don't think Duce will be back. I'd like to have Ike come back and play STs though, but I think taking him and putting him on the roster isn't anywhere near an improvment to the LB Corps, so I'd rather them get someone who can play some snaps on defense and not have to worry too much about him.

He said he's on his way. That's not a direct quote, but he did sound out of breath.

Did you explain that his sister is not actually the girl in his aviator?
