after two weeks in a row of not being able to get one yard when they needed to and missing their best lineman might not be the time to call for more runs

[PhillyPhreak54]

If they stopped running behind Tra and Herremans and maybe tried going behind Runyan and Fatticus Prime, maybe they get a yard or two.

[SD_Eagle5]

Maybe if they had a real fullback short yardage wouldn't be such a problem.

[Munson]

IGY you and I both know that gaining 1 yard on 4th and 1 when the defense is going balls to the wall to stop you is a much different situation then running the ball down methodically down the field. YOu know, actually running on first AND second down for a change.

During his appearance on Elliot In The Morning today, Chris Cooley discussed yesterday's egging of his team bus by Eagles fans in admiring tones:
"You know what, though, they're good shots," he said of the Philly fans. "They've been practicing. You could see them coming in; they were leading the bus. It was good egging." The taterskins Blog told a similar tale. Herewith, the taterskins discuss yesterday's performance from the Eagles fans and their love of eggs.

"Oh yeah, they just come raining down when you pull in there," Casey Rabach said. "You know, I don't know how many we got hit with, but it looked like a hailstorm."

"They were lighting it up," Devin Thomas said.

"I'm talking about whoop," Malcolm Kelly said.

"I'm talking about the middle of the bus, like, bammmm, like busted and everything," Kedric Golston said. "I ain't never been thrown eggs at. I mean, at Philly, they throw everything."


"My bus only got hit with one egg, but I had my headphones on listening to music, and it was like two windows back, and all you hear was thump," Mike Sellers said. "Everybody starts cracking up, it was like, 'Oh we got here, here it comes.'

"It must have been one of those big ones too, an ostrich egg," Golston said.

"It was crazy, though, because the egg was actually thrown in front of the bus," Kelly said. "It was like a quarterback almost; you throw it to where the receiver's gonna be at. I was very impressed."

"Very impressed," Thomas agreed. "If they ever had a replacement [team] in Philly, they'd have to get that dude for quarterback, because he hit that thing on point."

"You would think it would probably happen in Dallas or something," Sellers said, "[but] they're nicer fans than Philly fans."

"The only thing we ever had happen in college was they tried to rock our bus and stuff," Thomas said.

"Nah, that happened to us: OU-Texas game," Kelly said. "They were throwing nachos, drinks. Everything, everything you could name."

"We didn't get no eggs," Rock Cartwright said of his bus yesterday. "I just know we got flipped off. By everybody, kids and everything."

"You've got the six -year olds flipping you off, and the dad's patting them on the back," Rabach said.

"They give us the bird, we wave," Sellers said. "The universal greeting, I guess, for Philly."

"Grandma's mooning you," Jon Jansen said.

"Oh yeah, definitely," Rabach said.

"I've had some old ladies moon us, oh yeah," Jansen said.

"It's hard to tell from the backside, to tell you the truth," Rabach said.

"Oh, you can tell," Jansen said. "When it's an old lady, you can tell."

"Even all the fans after the game were flipping [us] off, and we had a couple guys that were gonna moon 'em," Cooley said on Elliot. "We were flipping 'em off back. Our windows are so tinted, I really don't think they can see us."

"That just makes 'em happy, that they can [tick] you off," Rabach said.

"All they're looking for is a rise out of you, a reaction," Jansen said.

"That's Philly," Rabach said.

"That's what makes it fun," Jansen said.

Reporter: "You went in with Tony Hunt as your fullback, but for short yardarge he isn't in. Klecko got blown-up on that play near the endzone. Will you maybe bring in a true blocking fullback?"

Reid: Klecko got surpirsed by that guy, wasn't the guy he was supposed to block. We'll see what happens."

I don't know if I should laugh or cry, he got surprised!! did he not expect 11 guys with indians on their helmets to come after him. That should be the quote of the year holy ish man

he got surprised (this was on DNL today w/runyan) bc LJ farging smith lined up on the wrong side, dmac had to audible to accommodate LJ, then when the play was snapped, LJ blocked the wrong guy (he blocked in) and the guy klecko blocked was supposed to be blocked by LJ and Tra didn't really block anyone (bc LJ farged up and took his guy)

the play was supposed to attack the weak d set up on the right, but since lj was on the left 5 switched it to that side, they said it still could have worked but lj farged up again on the blocking scheme.

something seemed wrong from the start. at first it seemed like the playclock was down to 3 (at least the one FOX was showing on their graphics) and I thought I saw McNabb call a timeout. Aikman or Buck said as much but then they said "the clock  has been reset" and the eagles seemed all sorts of confused. they should have just burned a timeout there and set up a proper play. settling for a FG should not have been a option.

anothing thing that really bothered me...on that drive when they got the ball after every play they wasted close to 40-50 seconds off the clock lining up and snapping the ball. when you are down by 2 scores and know your defense is having trouble stopping the opponents ground game and its the 4rth qrt there is no excuse for not running a hurry up offense. that drive took about 7 min off the clock. 3 too many.

lj smith = blockhead


still.

Think about this, at a minimum this offseason they're going to need a new FS, 2 or 3 new players on the O line, a TE, a LDE, a FB, and a new kicker. And that's at a minimum. I'm not even getting in the WR discussion because we all know they're thrilled with the crap they've been putting out there. My only hope is Curtis can contribute right away.

Philadelphia Eagles rookies DeSean Jackson and Quintin Demps each were fined $10,000 for posing after Jackson scored on a punt return in the Eagles' 23-17 loss to the taterskins last weekend.

No flag was thrown at the time in the game.

Both players told the Delaware County Daily Times that they would appeal.

"Yeah, that's crazy," Jackson told the newspaper.

Demps joined Jackson in the end zone after Jackson's 68-yard punt return gave the Eagles a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.

The two celebrated by turning toward each other, with arms folded and heads bobbing -- a violation of the league's rule against "prolonged, excessive, premeditated or choreographed celebrations, particularly after scoring plays."

Demps did not believe the two did anything excessive.

"Definitely I'm appealing," Demps said, according to the Daily Times. "I don't think it [warranted a fine]."

In addition, Eagles linebacker Tank Daniels was fined $5,000 for grabbing taterskins receiver Antwaan Randle El's facemask during a punt return. Daniels also plans to appeal.

The hits just keep on coming from that game.
