With Jerome Bettis retiring, and I think he's from Detroit, Duce might actually get to dress once or twice this year.

He did win a Super Bowl backing up Willie Parker.  Why not stay there?  Does he have any reason at all to prefer backing up Brian Westrbook?

I'm not knocking Duce at all, but he contributed to that SB ring in Pitt as much as I did.

Not even saying he has to come back to Philly... at this point in his career, I'd think that he would want to do more than ride the pine.  If it's like what DC said in that he expects to be the red zone guy like Bettis was... then I can understand that, but otherwise, seems crazy.

Are you sure about that?  I watched the Super Bowl and everything leading up to it and I don't remember hearing that at all.

I don't think Duce is looking to warm the bench.  I'm sure he wants to play.  I don't understand the "Duce is done" argument.  I think he's healthy and probably especially so because the success Bettis and Parker had in '05 gave him lots of time to recover.   He's got his money and his ring, and he's game to stay with the Super Bowl champs and play football.  That's all I see in this.

Fine, we'll just get Mike Anderson.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Duce was born in Tampa.

I don't think Duce is done.  He doesn't have forever left though.  That being the case, I'd just think he wants to be on the field as much as possible for the years he has left.  I'm not mad at him either.  There are definitely worse situations to be in than playing on a Championship team letting someone else get their body beat up for the majority of the snaps.

Just seems to go against what he said his reasons were for leaving Philly.

What about Jerome Bettis?  Where was he born?  ;)

I thought you played pretty good in the Super Bowl. :paranoid

QuoteEagles | Adams could return to team
Sat, 4 Mar 2006 18:20:41 -0800

Mark Eckel, of The Trenton Times, reports Philadelphia Eagles LB Keith Adams, eligible for unrestricted free agency March 6, could rejoin the Eagles if he were willing to return to a lesser role. The team would like him to return to his role in the 2004 season, where he was a good backup linebacker and an excellent special teams player.

Guess I'll toss this in here...

This would be a good move. Just so long as he doesn't play on the defense. Be a STs demon.

I'm all for having Adams move back to STs, and have him as a backup. The dude probably knows he sucked it up this past season, and may have realized his place in the league.

I guess, but I wasn't my old explosive, head-crackin' self.  I didn't feel as quick as usual but hey, we got the win and I'm still going to Disney World.

I don't mind that at all.  As long as we keep him the role that he can excel at.
