Someone should start a season prediction thread, that ay when I am proven wrong, there will be and easily found list of fodder to humilate my internet based alter-ego with.

i think there was one last year...those are pretty fun...if for no other reason than to see stuff like phreaks breakout player of last season being dhani the sand artist

Please. I'll pay you to stop bringing that up.

In fairness to my internet ego, I hated the signing. Hated it to death.

But that bastich fooled me in camp last year.

Never will I be fooled again.

Ried will run the ball more?? I'll believe it when I see it. I hope it works, I really do, but do we even have a back with enough endurance to run the ball over twenty times a game? Reid can mix it up with Bwest and Moats, but how long will that last if he doesn't see immediate results? And we still have yet to see if Bwest can play a whole season without getting injured.

Like I said, I hope it works, and it's good to see that Reid recognizes the fact that he has to run the ball more, but I'll believe it when I see it.

i dont think anyone can disagree that they SHOULD run more...the question is will they

regardless of how good you think the wr's are....by default not having TO automatically means they will run at least a little more...the question is will it go back to pre TO days of around 60% or will it go closer to a more acceptable 55-45 ratio

Acceptable to whom?
Alert, alert. Look well at the rainbow. The fish will be running very soon.

It's acceptable to me.

Frankly as long as the running and passing plays Andy calls are effective, I don't care. That's really what we are all whining about here. If the Eagles were putting up 30 points a game and throwing the ball 60% of the time none of us would be crying about not running. If we run the ball 50% of the time for 3 yds a carry no one will be jumping for joy to see the run. I want an effective offense, we ran a lot at the end of the year last year and still sucked.

If the Eagles were throwing 60% of the time, I'd be okay.

Its the 80% that has me sickened.
