Eagles turn down schoebel for lelie

[hunt]

yeah...the straight up trade doesn't make sense.


there must be a reason denver is interested in moats...maybe they've given up on bell. 

[ice grillin you]

they must believe mike bell is the real deal and hes their #1 back of the future...and would like to pair moats up with him as the 3rd down guy...leaving tatum bell expendable

[MadMarchHare]

Moats for Lelie, I'd do that in a heartbeat.  Moats has shown nothing.  Nothing.  Everyone wants to talk about his two big runs, great.  But outside of those, he didn't do shtein.  Yeah, it was with 3rd string OL at that point, but he hasn't proven anything.

As RJS pointed out in another thread, Lelie is a one-trick pony, but it's a need for the offense Reid wants to implement.  If Westbrook goes down, Moats won't be picking up the slack any better than Reno or Perry could.  I'd do it quick.

If we got Lelie and Bell for Moats, this would be an even bigger joke than Feeley for a 2nd.

That's kinda the way I read it.  They must be really down on him... especially since he hasn't jumped back ahead of Mike Bell on the depth chart.


If there's a Lelie/Bell package to be had... the Eagles need to jump on it, for real.

[hunt]

agreed.
bell/lelie for moats/walker/mid round pick would be boneriffic.

Long runs or not... you really can't just scoff at and throw away 5.1 ypc.

Not sure what the deal is with that.  I wonder if the Eagles would be able to grab Dayne instead of Bell.

Sure you can.  Take away those two runs, and his average was 3.4 ypc.  Reno could do that, so could Perry (if he could hold onto the ball).  And we need someone to stretch the field.  Straight up makes perfect sense.

moats hasnt showed anything but....

the drop off from westbrook to mahe would be >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than the improvement in going from (fill in the wr) to lelie


with a guy as fragile as westbrook you cannot have reno mahe as your #2 back

[Sgt PSN]

If there's a......package to be had... I.....need to jump on it, for real.

No kidding.  But with Reno as your #3, with Moats at 2, he's gonna be your starter sooner rather than later anyway.

[ice grillin you]

right but to get to mahe now you need two injuries....take moats out of the picture and the birds are the inevitable westbrook injury away from reno mahe being their starter

that is not worth lelie

but if they sign davis, he & buck could give them a solid 4-5 carries combined before reno becomes the #1 back.

So essentially, Moats = Mahe?

I guess you have a little more confidence in Mahe than I do.
