the eagles dont have a power running game so needing a te that blocks is overrated in their offense

granted..it would however be nice if he could pick up a blitzer considering how much the Eagles pass...

LJ doesn't block well. blocking, whether in the run or pass game, is half the TE job no matter what your system is...

lies

very few te's block anymore

Conventional wisdom doesn't apply where the Eagles are concerned. They have a pass-first offense with zesty receivers. They have a west coast offense and their best player by far on offense is a farging running back. They have an offensive line that is the biggest in the NFL and they pass the ball 60 percent of the time.

To call them retarded and backwards is an insult to backward retards everywhere.

PFT jumped all over this quote from LJ in Brookover's article:

Quote"I've never been the type to [sit out]. I know what it takes for me to be ready, but me sitting at home and not working out with whoever the starting quarterback is, I'm not really cool with that. I just have to talk to my agent and see what he thinks we should do."

pft is basically the onion of the sports world

a lot of their stuff is pretty funny but as far as being taken seriously no

Diomedes · February 10, 2008, 07:32:19 PM

whatever...if you follow the NFL at all, you read his shtein every day

SunMo · February 10, 2008, 08:03:03 PM

or never

this is about a week old, but anyone see Ike on DNL talking about LJ? He s-l-a-m-m-e-d him. he said the obvious, like, is he a gates/gonzo/clark? no. but the thing that surprised me was ike said LJ could never put it together between the ears.

ike must be a hater. how dare he insinuate that lj a blockhead.

PhillyGirl · February 11, 2008, 09:05:56 AM

Ike is way skinny. LOL

It certainly warrants questioning. He's going to get paid the avg salary of the top 5 TE's in the league, which he most certainly isn't. But when you look at the big picture, it was still the right move to make.

Correct me if I am worng, but this average salary does not include Signing Bonuses, which is obviously a huge part of a players money, so in some situations it can be a discount.

Good point, and that very well may be the case. So if we're talking about base salaries, then it certainly takes the sting out of it.

Good thinking.
