Shawn Andrews chemical imbalance thread

[stalker]

if they feel andrews can go then he goes...his upside is well worth it...if he gets in and cant go he comes out...its pretty simple

its not like hes a tackle that could easily on one play get the qb killed or cause a huge turnover

A simple "farging exactly" would have been more effective.

Over under on false starts if he plays?

Are we counting to obligatory Tra false start?

For added exuberance how about' exactfargingly

Good news.

Hopefully he's in shape. Can't exactly lift and run when your back is screwed up.  Having him in there against the Giants and Fred Robbins inside would be huge.

Cole has played well though, so if Andrews struggles or can;t go...Cole takes back over.

Good news.

Oh crap, he might be back up to his rookie weight.

Would he take up two roster spots at that weight?

[Seabiscuit36]

Reid did say he was in great shape as he's focused on cardio

Andrews is the best o-lineman in the league.

no

Uh huh!

(at least the most dominant.)

[stalker]

That stillupfront guy would probably have someting interesting to say on this topic. He seemed like a really smart fella.

NYT: Eagles' Andrews still battling depression

Eagles offensive lineman Shawn Andrews, who missed the 2008 training camp because of depression, told The New York Times that his sunnier public demeanor during the team's recent mini-camp was not a completely accurate view of his his mental situation.

"There's some good and bad in there," Andrews told the Times, referring to himself. "If you know the song 'Tears of a Clown,' that would kind of describe my past a little bit up to now."

Andrews told The Times that his bouts with depression prior to the 2008 season were exacerbated by concerns about the obligation of being a new father, having been raised in by a single mother.

"I had a new obligation, and I'm going to fulfill it because of my past experience," Andrews said in the story.

The Times reported that Andrews said his interest in football began to flag at the same time.

"I was partying, drinking to try to hide what was really going on," he said. "Temporarily, it helped me. In the grand scheme, it really didn't."

He held out from training camp. The Eagles said they would fine him $15,000 a day. When Moran told him how much money he stood to lose, Andrews said his reaction was, "So what?"

Pat Kirwan:

Because of my daily Sirius radio show, I talk with players, coaches, front-office executives and, on occasion, even owners. This week, I have to say that I was very impressed with Eagles guard Shawn Andrews.

Andrews has struggled with depression, but he's well on his way to recovery. He talked with me about all the pressures he has dealt with since childhood, and, until recently, he tried to mask them. But after receiving a helping hand from Eagles coach Andy Reid and a few family members, Andrews said he feels ready to resume a healthy life -- and enjoy football.

As Andrews said, "Sometimes you don't miss the water until the well runs dry." The well was almost dry for Andrews. But now he's ready to play well next to his brother, recent Eagles addition Stacy Andrews, and college friend Jason Peters, who came to Philadelphia in a trade with Buffalo.

Shawn energized me when he talked about how positive he feels right now and how much he feels he can accomplish. Watch out for the Eagles this season.
