Looking Ahead: Offseason Wishlist

pinoyboy2pt0 · February 06, 2006, 05:12:50 PM

I have hope for McCoy next year, at least he plays with a mean streak. Even if that streak lasts for 4 plays. Can't be worse than 'The Bullet'. If I was a bullet, I'd sue Keith Adams for slander.

well he did block two punts for me in madden 06 over the weekend

I'm sold.

Eh, McCoy not so sure.

Because McCoy is 'going to be great' shouldn't mean that we aren't going to go after Will Witherspoon. The guy just turned 25 and is coming off a great year.

If the Eagles want to spend money in FA, it will be for him. He's extremely young and talented, and he fills a need position. I could understand if he was near 30, but he has a ton of good playing years ahead of him.

Damnit! I want FA to start now!

I'm not going to give up on McCoy yet either. I think he has some potential. I like his "hit everyone and ask questions later" mentality.

I look foward to another year of zero pass rush from Freak, ND Kasuck, Trent Cole and Jerome "The Bullet" McDougle

PhillyPhreak54 · February 06, 2006, 10:00:54 PM

Kalu is a FA who will not be back.

MDS · February 06, 2006, 10:03:07 PM

Whatever. They still won't solve that problem.

PhillyPhreak54 · February 06, 2006, 10:06:52 PM

Well aren't you a ball of negativity tonight, mister.

Kearse
Cole
Kiwanuka (or Mario Williams if a miracle happens)
Kampman
McDougle

That's is how I'd like to see the 2006 rotation

MDS · February 06, 2006, 10:10:18 PM

I'm no ESer. I also don't know if drafting some DE is gonna do the trick. After the McDougle fiasco, I'd rather see us go LB (massive problem the last two years) and get a DE later in the draft or through free agency. Witherspoon would be cash, but do you really think Andy's gonna get in a bidding war for a position he doesn't value?

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 06, 2006, 10:14:11 PM

Kiwanuka = Jon Harris

PhillyPhreak54 · February 06, 2006, 10:23:32 PM

I would rather draft a DE and sign a LB in FA. Granted McDougle hasn't yet panned out, but I'm not giving up on him yet either.

But when you look at the history if drafted LBs under Big Red it is less than appealing. Caver, Gardner, McCoy...all 2nd rounders.

I think he knows he needs to upgrade the OLBs. Go out and get an established LB instead of hoping for a draft pick to work.

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 06, 2006, 10:26:54 PM

I still think the team needs a real SAM LB much more than they need a WIL.

Keep dreaming. Nate Wayne, Dhani Jones, Keith Adams, Mark Simoneu, Jeremiah Trotter the 2005 version. The list of mediocrity at linebacker goes......

pinoyboy2pt0 · February 06, 2006, 10:30:00 PM

I think Mario makes me hard. Looks like a can't miss, maybe the best sure shot in the draft at DE. That being said, he's a top 5(ish) pick. There's so much to watch on that team...you can watch the game 3 times and focus in once on their front 3. Amazing.

I'm going to break out all the pre-season tapes soon and rewatch them. Then I can slowly build myself up for one failure of a season.

2005 Trotter was mediocre?

And that list, as bad as it is, is better than the drafted guys.

FF,

I wouldn't mind a real SAM either. Peterson is out there. And the Colts SAM, David Thornton is a FA too. I wish they would've signed Marcus Washington two years ago. I really wanted him here.
