Heckert On WIP This Morning

[SD_Eagle5]

oh as far as macmahon he all but said they were going with him again...said that he didnt perform as well as he can and it was mostly due to the injuries the team had...basically saying hes a good qb and with a healthy team around him he will/would do fine next year

LOL, like I said, please...jump.

If you believe that they go with McMahon again next year, you're more of an idiot than I initially thought.

Out of curiousity, PG, who do you think they'll replace him with? I agree with igy, I think they're going to stick with McMahon. Even though I'd much rather see A.J. brought back.

What I got from Heckert's interview was that we're probably going to sign 1 good F/A (my money is on Witherspoon), 1 decent F/A, try to re-sign some of our players due for deals, draft well, and go into next season with the assumption that having McNabb back and the rest of our team healthy will equal success.

As also mentioned earlier (by hunt I think?) these interviews are really worthless, Heckert has a great poker face.

I'll be shocked if they FA a QB.  Certainly, Hall doesn't look like the answer.  I bet they'll draft one on day 2.  Honestly, if it comes down to a long stretch w/ the #2, the defense better be spot on or we're screwed anyway.

[ice grillin you]

it would be nice if they got a running game as well...so that when/if the #2 has to play they will run the ball because they can not because they fell like they have to

[phattymatty]

I don't see us doing anything different with the QB position.  It'll be the same as it was this year.  And it should, because if McNabb is out we're not going to win anyway, no use dropping money on some backups.

Unless we draft Lendale.  Then we could win with a scrub behind center.  get Lendale!!

[Feva]

I've come to accept the fact that McMahon is coming back as the #2.  I mean, so what if he posted the lowest QB rating in six years.

[Heckert]I'd be shocked[/Heckert] if McMahon isn't the #2 next season.


SHOCKED I say!

I'll have to get my idiot hat too because I can't see them NOT going with McMahon next year. I feel that the Eagles think he has a good upside & that they can coach the suck out of him.

I can definitely see them spending 4th or lower pick on a QB to push either neckbeard or McMahon out in training camp.

The good news is that with a healthy QB, we won't have to see McMahon and his too-close-together eyes on the field, even if he's still an Eagle.

BTW, a lot of attention is given to McMahon, but Koy sucked hard this year too.  HARD.

[MadMarchHare]

I believe that is because we all assume he's gone.  GOD I hope so.

That's a dangerous assumption.  I'm inspired to make a poll...

[ice grillin you]

the difference tho is that koy was a known quantity...it was known that he sucked...which is why everyone pushed for mcmahon to play when mcnabb went down...because whatever he is he cant be worse than koy 

also mcmahon represented the eagles 05 free agent class...they went out and got him..so he must be able to play right 

[sallad selgae]

The only way we can make sure we don't see the #2 or #3 QB behind center is if we keep the #1 from getting abused.  We need mean-ass blocking TE's and RB's who will make any defense think twice before shooting the gap, and give McNabb time to make completions and piece of mind to know someone's grill is not going to be tattooed on his chest.

[MadMarchHare]

Having some receivers that can catch a quick slant wouldn't hurt either.

[Rome]

So all of you who were out on the ledge of the Benny Frank Bridge can step back and take a deep breath.

No, please...jump.

Forget that.  Line 'em up against the nearest wall and shoot them in the face.  Repeatedly.

[General_Failure]

I don't see how anyone can think McMahon won't be here next year when they already said he's going to be here next year.

[SunMo]

you must be an idiot then
