Whats' the Right Move?

Dio's farging with us...

[PhillyPhreak54]

Don't say that about Brown. You'll be called a homer like me.

[Rome]

What?

[hunt]

and decent mlb's out there in the draft?...i figure they need a backup in case trot gets kicked out of another game this year.

[reese125]

Imagine him goin after Reid like he went after Gruden....

IMHO, Reid SHOULD be "gone after" by someone.  This team needs a kick in the pants.  Wherever Keyshawn ends up, he'll blow the doors off every reciever on the Eagles.  Except maybe Brown, who I think might be the story of the year this season.

Get Keyshawn.

Im amazed that anyone would want slow-a$$ Keyshawn....hes going to be 34 years old and a even a step slower this year. How he thinks he's worth big money is beyond me. Hes always been a possession reciever with great hands, that you can consistently count on, but he cant believe he's a #1 option on any team. The Gaffney signing means no Keyshawn without a doubt.

One thing that should happen now REAL quick, is if T.O. does sign with Dallas, and management does not go out and desperately go out and try and trade for Walker or get Moulds, we are in deep $htein. This should light a fire under Reid and Lurie's asses, but again Reid thinks he is Bill Belichick and can work with medicrocy at the receiver position. 2 reasons he cant: 1) McNabb is not Tom Brady and 2) the NFC is not weak anymore. Dallas possibly just jumped atop the division if this moves goes down, and it makes me sick to think that he will be wearing that uniform. I wouldnt let him cut the field grass let alone put a uniform on him anywhere. Lets move Birds....hurry up!!

For guys 3rd round and later, Gerris Wilkinson (can play 3 LB spots), Kai Parham (could play WLB too), Anthony Schlegel, Dale Robinson (athletic enough to play OLB), and Freddy Roach.

Now that This TO thing is official I think more than ever the Eagles must inprove their Pass rushing abilities.   Things were bad enough with Burress on the Giants last year playing like he was out of his mind and now TO?...

I also think they really need t improve at the CB position.  I think they need to go after the best available Cb in the draft or either go after Ty Law if he is still available.

If they can't get back to dominating oposing teams passing game it will be another long season.

I also have to say I agree wholeheartegly with the calls for Davenport.  Gotta improve the running game in order to keep these other teams offenses off the field.

They need a blockbuster type rest of the off-season.  DE and or DT is still a huge priority.

The cornerback position is the strongest on the team in terms of personnel.  Lito and Sheldon are Pro Bowl caliber players and Rod Hood would start on a shteinload of teams in the NFL.

[Geowhizzer]

The Eagles really only need to improve four areas:

1.  Offense
2.  Defense
3.  Special Teams
4.  Coaching

...and as they proved last year, they look like shtein without a pass rush.

[Rome]

Dude, Sheldon Brown did not look like shtein.  Brown played at a Pro Bowl level.  Rod Hood looked pretty damn good as well.

[The BIGSTUD]

Rod Hood IMO played the best year out of all the corners. He didn't have the highlight reel plays, but he never got burnt and locked down receivers.

Get Keyshawn.

I've been thinking about this pretty much since the Cowboys cut Keyshawn loose trying to decide whether or not I'd want the Eagles to bring him in or not.  He is the best reciever available at this very moment and would be a significant improvement over anyone the Eagles have.  And even though he isn't a game breaking reciever like TO was, he is a #1 reciever.  Is he worth the money he's looking for?  No, but are any of the other recievers who signed big deals this year worth the money they're getting?  I'd much rather see the Eagles spend that type of money on Meshawn than Randle El or Givens. 

Meshawn
Brown
Gaffney
Lewis

That aint too bad. 

Of course, if Moulds or Walker were to become available then I'd take them in a heartbeat over Johnson.  But if he's the best the Eagles can get then he's definately better than nothing. 

[The BIGSTUD]

I disagree about Keyshawn being a #1 receiver. To be a #1 receiver in this league you need to have SOME breakaway ability. Keyshawn has none. He is a possession receiver by every sense of the word. He catches the ball across the middle and goes right to the turf. I think he is way past his prime and even in his prime he wasn't all that great. This team could use a possession receiver, so for that reason and that reason alone I'd take a look, but he may not even be better than Gaffney at this point. At least Gaffney being young and previously playing with a bad offense could surprise us and come in and catch 60 balls for 850 yards.
