The Running Backs, Wide Receivers and other offensive questionmarks...

[reese125]

I think what it comes to is since Brown was annointed as the Eagles #1, he must be better than any Eagles past or current receiver....even without proving it....yeah makes sense

[reese125]

And just what the farg has Pinkston proved he can do besides drop passes, and punk out when he's called on to go over the middle? He's done, he should be cut.

Brown on the other hand has an upside.

sure he does, and so did Greg Lewis. Doesnt scare you at all that a 2nd yr receiver cant even get open in the preseason? You think their hiding their secret plays for Brown?

Really you think Lewis had upside?  I always thought he was a #4 reciever at best.

I want you to go back to the Greg lewis thread from last season I was going to post, but just dont feel like it. That train was full steam ahead my friend

He's proven that when he was healthy he could accumulate between 600 and 800 yards per season.

Those 29 yards are going to be murder for Brown to get this year.

[rjs246]

Not at all. And when he gets them he'll be AS GOOD AS Pinkston.

Once Brown gains more yards than he did with more TDs then I will be happy to admit that he is better than Pinkston was, but until that happens, Pinkston (when healthy, as IGY was pointing out) was better. This isn't rocket science.

Per Season!! He went over 600 twice in 5 seasons, and you say he has proven he can do it per season?? Bullfargingshtein. He'll never get 800-1,000 yards. He can't get off the line. He can't go over the middle. He sucks, cut him.

And no, I'm not worried that Brown hasn't caught many passes in three pre-season games, or about 4 quarters of football. All of a sudden, he can't get open?? Bullfargingshtein again.

do you see any other calibur starting WR's milking it and trying not to get open? practice makes for solid progression..and yes thats includes...um preseason "games". Scares me--thats why I bought a dog

brady wins more because belichek is light years ahead of reid as a coach but as far as how good of a player each is you could argue that mcnabb has/had the advantage in terms of coaching as he has played for an offensive mind where as brady has played for a defensive guru

The blatant disregard for simple grammar and punctuation around here lately is disturbing. Jesus Christ, are you all 12 year old girls typing this shtein out on your phones?

Haha.  That's one thing I can't be blamed for.  I'm a grammar & punctuation nazi.

Sorry guys, I had a typo. My post was supposed to say to RJS what makes him think the taterskins DEFENSE is so superior to ours in years past, other then last year, when we all know they were shtein.

[The BIGSTUD]

So do we get Stephen Davis or what?

[Phanatic]

Looks like a lot of people are riding teh IGY train around here all of a sudden. Nothin wrong wit dat. Just thought I'd point it out.

To comment on the thread because I'm drunk enough....

Our recievers are unproven sacks of shtein until proven other wise. Get it? Got it? Good!

This past game against the Ravens was against one of the best defenses in the NFL (#3 last year). Would have been nice to see Brown rise to the occasion but he didn't. Not time to sell the farm yet but there's still lots of stress drinking to be had till the season starts. HOLLA!

[bobbyinlondon]

So do we get Stephen Davis or what?

He left Novacare without a contract, but according to John Nalbone, who I guess is the new Eagles' beat writer for NJ.com, Reid gave Davis a private workout and then interviewed him.

Also of interest is that Nalbone said Pinkston looked good on a long catch and run, "but hobbled somewhat going back to the huddle". He also mentions that they're trying new shoes on him.

They're checking Chris Gocong for fractured vertabrae in his neck.

And, "don't be surprised if rookie backup MLB gets some work on the outside during the last two preseason games."

[SD_Eagle5]

Duce may be cut. Schefter speculates we'd be interested. He would be perfect for this team right now, and his injury history is no worse than Davis or any of the other crap they're looking to bring in.

[rjs246]

I love Duce. And I would love to have him as an Eagle, but I don't know how much of an upgrade he would be. He knows the offense, can catch and can pass-protect. Outside of that he was never the greatest running back on earth and has been injured A LOT. Still. I heart Duce.

[Drunkmasterflex]

Man if he got cut I would hope the Eagles would snatch Duce up with a quickness.  He would be at least be able to provide them with something until they could upgrade the position next year.
