All the idiots are coming out of the woodwork on 610.  I really hate these fake eagles fans that are showing up like cockroaches.  Its making me sick, i have to deal with idiots at work who have no concept of who any players are beyond Westbrook, Mcnabb, Dawkins, and Trott.  Sadly i'm starting to understand what happend to the cowpukes fanbase.

Just when you though the LB picture was bleak

Quote from your avatar. Jason Short hasn't been on the team since 2005.

No Schtein Shirlock! Where's that national sarcasm poster when I need it?

Considering the level of posts on this board, you can never be too sure.

Also, lolz @ you typing out "schtein."

Well when you cant say the real thing who really cares how its spelled...

Hard core Eagles fans seem to be supporting the move.  Casual fans hear Trotter was cut and they freak out.  Read some of the comments "elsewhere" IGY.  Full-blown panic is a pretty common reaction there.

Burgess was different because that was due to money, not letting an aging player go.  The Eagles are remarkable at identifying when a player is starting to lose it.

i dont count the emb...but on this board wip and everyone ive talked to its been a lean towards supporting the move

Personally I wasn't really surprised.  At the end of last season, it was evident that Trotter was about at the end of the string with his knees and mobility, and I had heard and read nothing to give me any reason to believe otherwise.

The only bad thing about this is the fact that the Eagles either need to add someone else's leftover MLB to replace Trotter, or go with the scrubs they have.  I wish the team had addressed this in the offseason (like everyone else), whether through the draft or FA.

They did address it.  They got Gaither last year and Bradley this year.

Whether those moves actually work out is as yet unknown.

PS: WTF are you doing here?  Hasn't school started yet down there?  It has up here.

King Cole said it, might be right.  They might be considering Al Wilson as a potential backup if Al was willing to take on that role.  Shefter was saying last night that the birds had interest in Godfrey before the skins signed him, so they are obviously not 100% happy with Roper as a backup

holla atcha boy...

trotter def gonna lose his job...if not in preseason then around week three

[SD_Eagle5]

Eckel's an ass but I thought this quote in his article today was funny:

"They know when to hold 'em. They know when to fold 'em. Trotter had to walk away, because he couldn't run."

God that's awful.
