[Munson]

He's really going to push the starting guys *cough*, Reggie, Kevin, he's gonna push them and make them better so *cough* this was a good move to make.

"Despite being the top guard available on the market, Alan Faneca may have a difficult time finding a team willing to meet his salary demands. The seven-time Pro Bowl lineman is rumored to be seeking a deal that surpasses Steve Hutchinson's deal (seven years, $49 million) from two years ago. While several teams would love to add Faneca to their lineup, his age (31) will deter teams from committing to a high-priced, long-term deal.

League officials expect Faneca to sign a deal that is four to five years in length, with average salaries near the $7 million range. Also, there is a rumor floating in league circles that the Eagles will emerge as a dark horse candidate to make a strong play. Supposedly, the Eagles are interested in having Faneca line up at guard, with two-time Pro Bowl guard Shawn Andrews moving to right tackle as a replacement for Jon Runyan."

no way...Andy hates OL

[mpmcgraw]

lololol they have Todd Herremans at left guard and Jamal Jackson at center and yet they are going to get rid of Runyan and try to peg Faneca as their big signing. 

Jesus farging Christ.

I was thinking maybe they trade Herremans, move Faneca to LG. Then next season make Andrews the RT and Faneca the RG while MJG takes over at LG.

[pinoyboy2pt0]

I wonder if Andy still thinks...if you have an average qb look good by a decent o-line, mcnabb looks good regardless (for the most part) of what's in front of him...guys can run around forever and not get open bc they suck, why, now, invest more in an o-line?  i'd love to see a stud at LG, the todd had a rough year, but comitting that much of the cap towards another offensive lineman?  it's pretty hard on the body at G, a lot of money and he's up there in age.  it would be nice if he can play at a high level but...we have other needs.  it would however allow us an additional 3 seconds to see andy call more bomb plays where the wr's can't get open and mcnabb getting blasted.

[reese125]

Brookover says the Eagles won't make an offer to Tapeh.  yay new FB

or CB Will James and DL Kimo von Oelhoffen

[Munson]

Sign Faneca.
Move Herremans into the LT back up spot.
MJG remains a career back up to Faneca and Andrews.
Justice gets moved to RT where he belongs and might be able to play at an NFL level.


FOR CHRIST SAKES LEAVE ANDREWS AT GUARD.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yes, leave Andrews at guard.  No, do not expect Justice to not suck.  He sucks.

[BigEd76]

...

[SunMo]

the collapse is complete

[Munson]

Yes, leave Andrews at guard.  No, do not expect Justice to not suck.  He sucks.

I refuse to believe he sucks after one NFL game at a posisition he didn't play in college.
Just like I refuse to believe Stewart Bradley is completely awesome after two games.


Yes, leave Andrews at guard.

[ice grillin you]

why do you refuse to believe justice is not a starter but are already calling mjg a career back up?
