Is there a problem with TO?

He knows about Darwin Walker's status and won't tell anybody.

Roob chat with Heckert

Highlights:

-Tra will be back and will be fine, allegedly.
-McCoy is going to be good, supposedly.
-McMahon may come back next year, unfortunately.

QuoteHeckert said the Eagles probably won't be pursuing big-name free agents during the offseason, mainly because there isn't expected to be much high-end quality in the areas the Eagles need help. Expect them to wait until the first wave of high-priced free agents are gone and then go bargain hunting for functional players who won't be looking for massive deals.

if true, that's one of the most disheartening things I've read in a long time.

so, Rocky Bernard isn't high priced, or he's not high-end quality in an area they need?

'cause, he seems to be the perfect type of DT that they are looking for.

I agree. If true I'll be angry beyond words. Probably BS though.

after 2003 playoffs: "I'm satisfied with our wide receivers."

So.....I get to tell PG she's an imbecile, because she said it was ridiculous to say we wouldn't pick up a top flight WR in free agency.

Rome · February 06, 2006, 04:21:37 PM

Considering there's only going to be one available (maybe) in Reggie Wayne, I'd say that's a fair assumption.

i agree. if true...

SunMo · February 06, 2006, 04:45:07 PM

yeah, the 'if true' is huge, obviously. however, the more i think about it, the more i convince myself that they are way too smart to not do anything in free agency.

rjs246 · February 06, 2006, 04:46:43 PM

They're dumb enough to do anything. I don't put anything, brilliant or idiotic out of the realm of the probable.

SunMo · February 06, 2006, 04:50:19 PM

i would think that Heckert's statement was totally BS but last year they only signed Mike McMahon...so, yeah.

Quote"We have to decide on Matt," he said. "I know people are counting him out, but our opinion of him hasn't changed. I'd be shocked if he's not a great player."

I think that needs repeated again. The Eagles GM would be SHOCKED if McCoy is not a GREAT player. Be afraid.

SunMo · February 06, 2006, 04:59:08 PM

they have to decide what? if he can be a starter this year? if he can make the team this year? what?
