Who needs to go? - Defense

[Susquehanna Birder]

Howard played best when he was inside. When Kearse went down, Howard (and the rest of the line) went into suck mode.

[PhillyandBCEagles]

I think that the defense is going to be blown up after this season is over, so lets make a list of who needs to go. 

Gone:

Darwin Walker
Mike Lewis
Dhani Jones
Sam Rayburn
Jerome McDougal
The entire defensive coaching staff, including position coaches and water boys

Agreed here, and I would add Hood to the list--not because I think he SHOULD go neccesarily, but there's no way the Eagles re-sign him.  Which means we're looking at using probably a 2nd round pick on a CB.

The whole team is made out of marshmallow pussee. Their brains are made of cotton and they all sleep on pillowtop beds with silk sheets and the fluffiest feather pillows you can find.

Soft motherfargers. I hate all of them. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Howard played best when he was inside.

Don't we all.

walker
rayburn
mccoy
jones
barber
lewis
considine

perhaps even patterson, but they signed him until 3034 so i guess that wont happen.

Making a list of players on defense who need to go will take too long.  So I'll make a list of players who should be back next year instead. 

Tito
Brown
Dawk
Howard

[MURP]

I would keep Cole, Howard, Lito, Sheldon.   Send Darth to a contender, he deserves it.  All the rest can go.  Time to start over.

[ice grillin you]

mccoy number one with a bullet
dhani right behind him
trotter
walker
considine
barber

the above need to not be on the field defensivly ever again unless injury puts them there...if you wanna keep them for special teams back ups then fine

bunkley is not a bust yet but hes as close as you can get...the guy isnt even close to being ready to play...patterson is straight up vanilla and a non factor but bunkley actually sucks...if he was a linebacker and was having trouble with the scheme then i could see..but hes a DT...which is a position one should be able to acclimate themsleves at fairly quickly at least to show some promise make some plays...hes done neither...fool cant get on the field

much like sean payton letting stallworth go im starting to think theres a reason bunkley and justice dropped so low...andy is not smarter than the rest iof the gm's in the league and is dumber than most

[Diomedes]

It would have been easier to just make one "who needs to go thread" instead of three, but flip it:

Who DOESN'T need to go.

[Sgt PSN]

Forgot about Cole.  He's a keeper too. 

[cj2112]

Trotter and Dawk have to stay but Trot in a limited role.  This team has lost way too much senior leadership.  The inmates run the the asylum because there's only Trot and Dawk to manage the room, and they obviously need some help keeping everyone in line.   Who else in the entire D unit is a leader beyond Trot and Dawk?  Guitar man?  Lito?  Walker?  See what I mean?  Ike and Troy were a step slow but at least the other yahoos listened to them. 

[ice grillin you]

i agree theres no leadership but that has more to do with the coach than the players....andy doesnt allow players to be leaders...they are all supposed to be robots programmed by him and banner to walk the line and never leave it

its not a coincidence that the leaders this team did have are all ray rhodes guys

theres no reason why people like sheldon and lito cant step up and take over the leadership that vincent and bobby taylor left...the difference is those were two more ray rhodes guys...lito and sheldon are current admin stepfords

[rjs246]

D players to go:
All LBs.
All non first round pick DTs.
All non Dawkins safeties.

[Drunkmasterflex]

D players to go:
All LBs.
All non first round pick DTs.
All non Dawkins safeties.

Sounds good to me.

[The BIGSTUD]

Every defensive player but Dawk, Bunkley, Cole, Patterson(who should be demoted to a limited role), Lito.
