How come? TE more of a need or you think he'll be a better player than White?

1. The Eagles won't run the ball more than 40% of the time as long as Reid's the coach.
2. The line isn't even really that good at run-blocking.
3. There are good runningbacks available all over the place this year if the Eagles want another one.
4. Vernon Davis is a freak of nature, and the Eagles only have one real TE on the roster.
5. The aforementioned TE is a receiver only, and can't block for crap in either the pass or run game

Really, I think TE is more of a "need", AND Davis will be a more game-changing player than White. So.. both.

Lendale White. I'd shoot Davis in the face on the way up to the podium.

Vernon Davis and RJS sitting in a tree.

i wonder how the Eagles feel about LJ as their TE of the future. if they believed him to be in their plans long-term, this would be around the time that they would extend him.

L.J. should lose a few pounds and make it official by changing to WR.

How do you know they arent good at run blocking? I'd like to see them try before labeling them bad at it.

D-FENCE!

I'd take VD without blinking. Lendale White might be interesting if they trade to 25 or so and pick up multiple picks, but not at 14, not the way AR calls plays.

If the Eagles sign Hutchinson, that tells me they are serious about running the ball more. He's a terrific run blocker.

You're all on farging crack.

c'mon, i find it hard to believe that you'd be able to go through the entire process without blinking once. your eyes would be so stingy when you finally blinked them

You may usually think I am a douche bag, but here we agree. I think LJ could be DOMINANT in the slot. I have for a while. Who do you cover a 6'3" 255lb slot guy with? If you bring the safety down, who covers VD at TE? A LB? With that speed and vertical? It creates a mis-match nightmare. Also, with LJ in the slot, you can't ever put 8 in the box. The run game would be helped tremendously.

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 28, 2006, 05:39:59 PM

Well, it's simple: L.J. can catch passes, and that's about it. So why does he play anything but receiver?
