I kind of had a sneaking suspiscion that Bunkley was going to be a bust anyway. Now I'm pretty sure.

me too...and by all reports he was terrible in the mini camps

he is athletically freaky tho and with those guys at least you have a chance at greatness...hopefully he reaches his potential one day

i didnt see him contributing much this year even had he been at camp from the jump off

What a stupid article. Brookover gets an F for that pile of crap.

Anyone can isolate a couple hold outs who failed and extrapolate ridiculous conclusions. And of course Johnson is gonna spew crap like "you just don't catch up." If that were REALLY the case, they'd release him. "You don't catch up." What a crock of shtein. We all know damn well that he's missed nothing vital. It's bullshtein company rhetoric, parroted by a punch-the-clock sports page clip. Big whoop.

I'm not concerned.

The point isn't that he would have missed less time had we started camp normally. It's that they start installing all their packages and calls AT THE START OF CAMP. He's still missed all the early practices. He has time to get into game shape, sure, but the practices now are designed with the assumption that you know all the packages. He won't, and they aren't going to slow down to get him up to speed. Which will put him at a significant disadvantage to other guys. Which will limit his game reps come Sept.

We should have taken Laurence Maroney.

this is true...he will be behind the guys that are in camp now...but that wasnt the point of romey and others...their point was that hes now worthless for the whole season which is ridiculous

he has a month to learn what they have learned in a week

hell have to catch up but he will have plenty of time to do so...and once he gets to where they are now then its all about who can execute the packages best...and thats where he will be come first week of sept (provided he gets in relatively soon)

again this isnt about bunkley this is about disrepecting the front office...like dio said jim johnson knows full well he can come in soon and be fine for the start of the season...johnson himself saw it with corey simon...but johnson must tote the company line and talk ish on bunk just as reid heckert and banner have done over the past week

funny that the agent and bunk refuse to talk to the media thus far even after being attacked by the eagles...which is the way these negotiations should be

Corey Simon missed how long in 2000? I believe he was out for 2 weeks, right? He had 9.5 sacks.

Who knows my Bunkley is going to amount to. But I know this, I would be more worried if the DT situation looked like it did in 2003. They have several guys who are playing really well now.

Including the very first play of the season.

PhillyPhreak54 · August 01, 2006, 09:23:21 AM

On Troy Aikman no less.

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 01, 2006, 09:29:55 AM

Bunkley sacking David Carr on the first defensive play of the season would be impressive on many levels, but mostly because there is no way in hell he'll start on defense in that game.

General_Failure · August 01, 2006, 09:33:02 AM

Sacking David Carr has never been impressive.

Diomedes · August 01, 2006, 09:37:08 AM

I think he's actually been credited with sacking himself a couple times.

6. Philadelphia

Tackle Mike Patterson had a surprisingly effective rookie year, and veteran Darwin Walker is very quick on inside penetration, which makes him a perfect fit for coordinator Jim Johnson's blitz-happy defense. But when Patterson and Walker need a breather, Eagles fans will be in for a treat: Rookie tackle Brodrick Bunkley is a freak of nature who combines incredible upper-body strength with great speed. He'll look good next to "The Freak," end Jevon Kearse. End Darren Howard was a great free-agent signing. End Trent Cole is a converted linebacker and a good pass rusher.
