JJ- McCoy - plenty of opportunity to earn that starting spot.

big praise for McCoy from Sheldon Browns Blog

Quote"When I look at our defense, I see a guy like McCoy and I can't help but notice how much he has improved. When you are a rookie you want to come in and impress everyone, especially if you're not from a school that wins national championships. You want to prove you are one of the big boys, and you can get caught in that stuff.

"Matt has worked hard in this off-season. He's a totally different player and I think he and Shawn Barber are going to have a good battle at linebacker. Matt has the respect of everyone here. Now he just has to go out there and relax and play ball, make plays, do the things he did in college to make the Eagles take notice of him.

Sheldon Brown's obviously a Lurie-lapper of the highest order!111!1

(Seriously, though, it's cool that he's willing to express some confidence in McCoy.)

Mon, 24 Jul 2006 16:12:19 -0700

Philadelphia Eagles WLB Matt McCoy has entered training camp penciled in as the team's starter at weakside linebacker.

and that pencil has a HUGE eraser

jeffreyjpa · July 25, 2006, 06:36:38 PM

I'll tell ya man, he made some plays today at camp. Granted, it's camp and it's early. But, he looked good...real good.

PoopyfaceMcGee · July 25, 2006, 06:38:18 PM

Sal Pal didn't even watch training camp practices today, but he said McCoy was soft.

Also, I let jeffreyjpa drive my car over 60 miles today. I also met him today. I'm so trusting.

mussa · July 25, 2006, 06:40:49 PM

did you give him road head too?

don't forget, you called me everytime you thought you did something mildly amusing

once again mccoy cant play in this league...one day people will learn this and stop analyzing every training camp read he makes and talking about how hes gonna improve the lb corps

PoopyfaceMcGee · July 26, 2006, 11:45:36 AM

You sound like Sal Pal.. who was there yesterday, but really wasn't watching practice at all... then declared McCoy "soft" and said he couldn't get off blocks.

Knowledge is king, dook. Get some of it before forming your bombastic opinions, from time to time.

ice grillin you · July 26, 2006, 12:12:27 PM

talk to me in three years son when hes at best a decent back up and a great special teamer...tho knowing andy reid he could also be a horrible starter for the eagles

We should all give our opinions in absolutes from now on. It's refreshing...
