The Running Backs, Wide Receivers and other offensive questionmarks...

[MadMarchHare]

We meaning as fans needed another WR.  Clearly, the FO doesn't think so.  When they really want someone, like Kearse, Howard, TO, Runyan, they have been aggressive about going out there and getting him.

So, they either feel the guys they have can perform well enough, or that the available guys weren't an improvement, or that WRs are just a set of hands and any old guy will do (I don't believe the last, or they wouldn't have been so hot on TO).

Are Len and Todd going out or something... why would he get so defensive about Todd Pinkston?

[Diomedes]

Dunno about Len, but I tend to get defensive about Pink because he gets a bad rap.  Fools fix on a couple clips where he pulls up on an uncatchable pass, and ignore the value he brought to the team.  He stretched the field well, was durable despite his diminutive frame, blocked as well as could be asked of him, etc.  But I gave up that fight awhile ago.  Screw it..people wanna hate on Pink, let 'em.

Besides, Pink is done.  You don't come back from that injury so well, at least not the year after it happens.

how do you defend him playing like a bitch in the NFCCG against Carolina?

they're wrong.

[Diomedes]

I don't.  It can't be done.

But to be fair, he was hardly alone in the "playing like a bitch" category for that game.  In fact, there were only a couple players who didn't punk out on that miserable day.

[SunMo]

yeah, you're right.  he's not the only one, but for me he's the most memorable.  i agree with some of what you say though.

[Rome]

The Carolina debacle was about as bad as it gets as a fan.

They shouldn't have gotten there to begin with, but still, what a disappointment.


PS: The Tampa game was worse.  Way worse.

I'm just shocked that Len was so insulted my the name Stinkston, that he refused to give an interview. hahahah

I don't think it was the name itself, probably more the mentality of the radio guys with Down's.

Again... the part that gets me is that as bad as the Carolina/Tampa debacles were... why are the Eagles leaving themselves open for it to happen all over again?

They aren't.  They're making sure the team isn't good enough to be put in that spot again.

wow, looks like lenny P really has a crush on our boy todd.

ah, i see that's been posted already.

Len is boys with Todd's agent. So he'll defend Todd and suck some balls to get insider info.

Good question, and logically I can't think of a good reason. The only thing I can think of is after seeing Baskett in practice every day, they really think he's going to be a player. If not that, then it's cheapness or stubborness. As for the RBs, I do think they will add one. I think there is a much higher probability that they add a RB than a WR.

But if Pinkston can't make it through friday's game, and they don't get a receiver, then it will be the biggest debacle of a decision this FO has made since letting Trotter go.
