The Eagles Offseason Thread(all aboard the Brian Finneran bandwagon)

[ice grillin you]

if you believe a quote any member of the eagles organization would give to the inquirer then you a sucka

and if by small chance hes being honest then i feel sorry for this team that a coach has already decided where a guy is going to play for the rest of his career five months before training camp has even started


the truth is all the pieces are going to come to lehigh in july and thruout camp and the preseason they are gonna figure out where they all fit

[Munson]

If it was one quote then I'd agree.

But this is at least the second or 3rd time that a quote has come from JJ or one of the other higher ups and the "We think he'll do great at MLB" line comes up.

[ice grillin you]

and they have also said numerous times that they arent sure how the lb's are gonna work themselves out

bradley as a mlb may be what they believe but if he comes in and blows gocong out of the water at sam or isnt what they think at mike then they will make a change...

they have all guys slotted in a certain position in their minds right now...thats where depth charts come from...but i would hope and i believe that they are open to all possibilities at the lb position

[Munson]

Either way I'm excited about the 3-4 quote from that article. It's not going to be a true 3-4 but it does put Gocong down on the line as a pass rusher where he is probably most effective.

And I still think having 3 guys starting in their posistions for the first time or first year on the team had an effect on the lack of big plays the Eagles got from theLB's. It was Spikes first year in JJ's system, Gaither's first year at MLB and Gocong's first year playing LB. With those 3 and Bradley, I think we'll see a few more plays being made out there this year.

[ice grillin you]

well they cant make any less

[Munson]

Well they did get that one sack from Gocong.

So really they COULD make one less...

This quote (Philly.com) is attributed to Rosenhaus over the weekend:

"Jevon will be released, and I expect Jevon to be a free agent," Rosenhaus said at the NFL Scouting Combine. "We tried to work out a restructure with the Eagles. We thought he had a wonderful career there and we weren't able to do it."


- It was wonderful drew. Maybe not quite as wonderful as TO. But we hope Jevon had a pleasant stay.

wtf? LOL

I must have missed when he was at the NovaCare Complex.

Well, apparently he WAS at the NovaCare Complex, like LeCharles.

lol @ the jets letting vilma seek a trade to everyone except the patriots. we dont need him though, the lbs are fine.

[SD_Eagle5]

Trading for Vilma and moving GoCong to DE seems like a win/win move, so I'm sure it will never happen. Diddy was on and said the same thing....

Thought that was funny as hell.  Mangini ain't playin' that shtein.

Apparently Hugh is saying the Eagles aren't really that interested in Samuel and that from what he hears from his sources inside the organization they're trying their best to make a trade for Fitzgerald. Hugh is a little off at times but he did call the Kolb pick prior to the draft last year.

I just got done reading the 10-page retard fight over on the EMB about this topic..

Did Hugh say Fitz specifically or did Angelo pull a penis out of his mouth long enough to throw in his name as speculation?

I hope he's right and I hope they can do it.

they are in far more dire need for a top flight WR than they are for a good CB since they already have one of those things.
