Lito Sheppard - He Once Was An Eagle

[SunMo]

30th...

i care more about points than interceptions though

[Rome]

they were last in turnovers created.  they needed a playmaker on defense and got one.  the rest of this is nonsense.

[ice grillin you]

i think the eagles upgraded with samuel.  you all care, obviously.

if he replaces sheldon perhaps but even then its not a huge upgrade...if its a replacement for lito then it was upgrading based on the premise that someone might get hurt...in that case they should have traded for derek anderson cause mcnabb gets hurt more than lito


altho i think it was uneccesary no one is hating the samuel move but its not a huge upgrade and the way they have went about it has caused rancor in the locker room which is never good...and then when you add in things from the past like the black balling of rod hood and putting sean considine in for michael lewis things tend to add up and make things even more dicey

this topic was played out weeks ago.  i'm done arguing about it.  everyone on the team needs to shut the hell up and perform, and that includes the prima donna's in the secondary.

[Feva]

Let me get this straight...

When the team fails to upgrade significantly, the front office is cheap and overvaluing their own mediocre players.

When they do upgrade, they're spitting in the faces of their excellent and dedicated existing players.

Bullshtein.  The FO has done no wrong to Lito or Sheldon.  Those two Hoydas have not been able to add up to a reliable #1 corner, so the team went and got one.

haha...you're an embarrassment when you post an entire paragraph from your cell phone.

Word...

[Wingspan]

the point is they didnt upgrade and have cluster farged the whole samuel move from the get go

When you sign a top player at their position...how is that not an upgrade?

Or are you fine with Joselio Hanson starting 7 games? You were fine when Rod Hood left too right?

[ice grillin you]

i personally wouldnt have spent 30 million dollars on the premise that a guy is going to get injured

[Wingspan]

Stop sidestepping. You whined non stop about letting Rod Hood get away, saying that the birds were too cheap to bring him back, now it's the other way around? You can not have it both ways and sustain any credibility. 

Samuel is either better than both Sheppard and Brown. Or he's better than one or the other. Or they are both better than Samuel.

Which is it?

number one i never cried about letting rod hood go...again your penchant for completely making up stuff is pretty sad

as are your reading fundementals...i just said above if samuel is replacing sheldon its an upgrade but not enough of one to spend 30 million bucks on...however hes not here to replace sheldon andy said at the press conefercne when he was signed that he is penciled in as the starting corner on litos side

[Dillen]

farg all yall.

[Munson]

IGY, Sheppard is missing 5 games or so a season. That IS a big deal, that's a a third of a season, and if Lito plays in those 5 games this past year, MAYBE the Eagles win one or two of them and make the playoffs.

So yes, it is a significant upgrade to get a CB who has thus far proven himself able to stay healthy.

IF he gets hurt


by that reasoning brian westbrook should be off the team as should mcnabb and derrick burgess should have retired by now due to injuries


i have no problem going out and improving the 3rd and 4th cb spots if youre fearful of lito getting hurt but it was not necessary to go out and spend 30 million dollars on the #1 cb in free agency when that position is the strongest on your team simply because you think someone is going to get hurt

[rjs246]

For god's sake farging let it go.

It was when it could have very well been the difference between making and not making the playoffs last year.

And it's also very obvious he was brought it because of the lack of turnovers last year. 19 aint cuttin it, and bringing in a #3 or #4 CB isn't going to improve that.
