Random Eagles Information Still Not Worthy of a New Thread

[MMH]

Wouldn't any rational person?  With the quality of the corners in m2m, they might even be able to defend the run that way.

[Rome]

Well, Castillo is going to dumb the system down a lot, right?  Matthews should do fine.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

And it's not that I think he's the next Dick Butkus either.  I just think it's comical that the usual idiots in this forum trash a guy before he's even played a down. 

And how many players have been drafted after the first or second round and become HOF's?  Conversely, how many players have been top 10 picks and ended up epic busts?

We don't know if he's gonna be a player or not.  The Eagles do and although they have a horrendous track record where linebackers are concerned, I'm not about to write off a guy before he's even had a chance to put a farging jersey on yet.

no one should ever have an opinion on any plyer until they play minimum of three years in the nfl

got it

I'll make sure to remind myself to check with you the next time I need someone to explain football or football players to me.

And movie reviews.  Don't forget movie reviews.  Especially comedies.  They're his strong suit.

I dont care if Castillo dumbs the system down to 3 plays, its too easy to have major concerns for a 1st yr guy (especially a MLB) to know what hes doing out there.

The defensive system is only half of it. Its about all the other shtein these OC's are going to throw at him. You put someone in there that at least has been there before and has the experience at the position that can recognize different offensive alignments and defensive blitz packages. Even if Matthews is the next Butkus, the amount of mistakes hes going to make first year could very well be the difference in their so called super bowl run. Why even take the chance? Get a friggin MLB.

Take a friggin xanax and warm up to the idea of Casey the Great running the D.

[reese125]

dont let the hair, last name and the FA signings cloud you son.

veteran MLB's  trump 4th rd rookies.

[Diomedes]

okay so we agree afterall

Casey Matthews is the answer at MLB.

[Rome]

lol at the round he was picked in.

as if that determines a player's ultimate worth as a professional. 

[reese125]

missing the point and you can lol all you want. we are not talking about his career. we are talking about this year being the year.

if you dont think having a veteran MLB in there is a big advantage over a rookie I dont know what to tell you.

[Diomedes]

what I think>>>what you think

[reese125]

youre about to lose godfather status real quick.

[General_Failure]

Why would you make him the godfather of your children? He'd sell them for gin and weed before you were even cold.

where did i say that i didn't want a veteran linebacker?  where did i say anything of the sort, reese?

everyone else is pointing out the obvious (fourth round pick, rookie, doesn't know the defense, blah, blah blah) and i'm not disagreeing with any of that either.

i said people throwing dirt on his career before he's even taking a farging snap is premature and stupid and it is.

and it occurs to me that even a veteran would have to learn the defense the same as matthews would, right?  the only advantage a veteran would have is that he's actually played in the nfl before.  it's a big advantage, and again, i'm certainly not against them signing a veteran.  hell, i've been begging for them to upgrade the linebackers forever.  all that aside, i'm looking forward to seeing what matthews can do, that's all.

jeezus...
