Donte' Stallworth

[Drunkmasterflex]

FWIW they had a clip of Heckert on NFL radio this morning and he said they do have enough money to resign Stallworth and Garcia, among others. 

[ice grillin you]

money has never been an issue....its who they spend it on

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I think Matt McCoy and Sean Considine are about due for 8-year extensions.

it would be one thing if the Eagles knew how to draft linebackers, then i would give them the benefit of the doubt with Gocong.  but they have proven they can't project college linebackers into the pros, how are they going to be able to project a Division 2 DE into a NFL backer?

Not only do they suck at drafting LB but they suck at signing them too.  They've really only made 1 decent LB aquisition in the last 5 years or so and that was Barber when they signed him a few years back.  Every other "notable" LB this team has brought in has turned out to be a flamming pile of dog poo.  Dhani, Simmoneau, Kirkland, etc, etc.

that's cool, say hi for me

Terry Tate would be a better fit FF.

My opinion on Gocong is roughly as useful as anyone's on this board because he's a near complete unknown. 

Conversely, Dhani Jones is easily the worst player on that defense.  An upgrade at the position is a must.

My point about Gocong is this:  Until we know for certain that he's incapable of playing the position, he should be given a chance.  Is it more reasonable to give him a shot or to write him off completely because he's an unknown?

If someone superior to Jones is available in free agency, you grab him.  If someone superior is available in the draft, you grab him.  If neither is an option, I say give Gocong a shot.

so in other words romey gocong is the last possible resort on earth in replacing dhani

which means you can admit that its possible that gocong will be worse than dhani...much in the same way mccoy was worse than simenou this year




Emmons was signed 7 years back

5 years or so

Ok, 2 good LB aquisitions in Reid's tenure as HC.  Wow.
