I was thinkin'

[stillupfront]

It's funny now that I read the TO/Douglas thread but I digress. Does anyone else think that the absence of key locker room guys, specifially Ike, Chad  and Hugh, is having a negative affect on the team? I know Ike's absence has impacted the special teams but he was also a longtime vet. I gotta think that is one of the issues at the root of the problem. That and TO's continued struggle with his sexual identity.

Hugh is in the locker room and on the sidelines for every game. What are you talking about?

I was saying to BigEd earlier this week that I thought it might be time to bring Chad back, if he was healthy enough to play. Good in the short passing game the Eagles are using (sure handed, but, um, not much of a YAC guy), and good in the locker room.

Ed said he didn't think Chad was healthy enough to play yet. Anyone read anything recently about him? If there's been an update posted on CF lately that I missed, I apologize...but, he seems like the kind of guy the Eagles could use right now. And, he can't do much less than Spach has contributed on the field this season.

If Dawkins, the idiot Trotter, McNabb, Tra, Runyan and let's say Short for the hell of it aren't enough to lead the team then farg them all.

i would agree with you.  anytime you lose veterans, there's obviously going to be a window where some of the younger guys are going to need to learn to step up.  i think the eagles realized this and that's why they felt the need to hire douglas back on.  there's also more to it obviously.  TO's a retard.  Mcnabb seems scared to put owens in his place. but anytime you lose veterans you lose more then just a player on the field.

They lost Ike and Chad. With Dawkins, Hugh, McNabb, Trotter, Tra and Runyan on this team....losing those 2 is HARDLY the problem

Ok, who else hesitated on opening a thread titled "I was thinkin" when they saw SUF started it?

I was actually thinking more that Chad is an upgrade over Spach...the leadership thing would just be a bonus.

I was ready to delete it.

Hugh is NOT on the team. Sure he hangs around, but he is not a player anymore.

He is IN THE LOCKER ROOM and ON THE FIELD with the team. You're not talking about on the field, you're talking about leadership in the locker room.

and he IS on the team, he is employed by the eagles.
