The 2007 Offseason Thread

Does this Tony Franklin also play barefoot?  That would be cool.

Clifford Franklin has moves that even Clifford Franklin doesn't know about.

I am with you on the Moss pick, but I would rather see them go after a guy like Tim Crowder in the second

i dont like crowder at any pick...theres questions about moss as well but at least moss has the upside due to his extreme athleticism...crowder isnt fast or quick and doesnt have any edge burst...hes just there....actually now that i think about it he sounds exactly like an andy reid guy....from what ive seen of him i question whether he can play in the league at all

The babysitting went well over the weekend, i ended up getting tickets for the Miami game and the Bears Game 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Crowder = Brandon Whiting

Excellent artice about the draft for all of you amatuer GM's who think you know who the Eagles should pick b/c you watch ESPN. (which seems like everyone on this damn board).

looks like Banner is correct in not drafting LB's early...

what a douchey statement...

and Banner has nothing to do with the draft, ass, it's Reid and Heckert

[ice grillin you]

funny that the guy who wrote that piece is pimping espn the mag because in their draft preview issue they say that linebacker is the safest round one pick you can make

anyway in general these charts and graphs are all garbage...every pick in every year holds its own individual weight...going back to all the drafts since 1980 and finding that round five held some very good linebackers means absolutely nothing when it comes time for the eagles to make their pick this year at 26

i mean some of the numbers are neat and i admittedly read them myself but in the end this historical hodge podge of numbers means very little

that article you posted is on some billy beane ish....and is one of the most nerded out things ive seen this side of baseball


"Flat" histograms are found at guard, fullback, and special teams.

ha...WTF?


oh and banner rightfully so goes nowhere near the draft

Not sure if it was mentioned here yet, but Spadaro seems to be hinting that the game vs Detroit will be the 75th anniversary weekend.  Maybe the Luries will suck it up for one day and bring back the kelly greens...

Someone on the EMB wrote a couple of months back that it was rumored the Eagles were going to wear the Frankford Yellowjackets unis this year for a game. Would you know anything about that?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yep, its going to be the Yellow Jacket ones. I remember hearing that somewhere too.

I'd love to see the Kelly Green's back though.

[SunMo]

it's never going to happen, mostly because we all want it to so bad

[MDS]

The Yellow Jackets jersey would be great, actually.

So would the Kelly Green's, but you can't expect the Lauries to do something like that. You know, good.

[SunMo]

the yellow jacket jerseys would only be cool if they wore leather helmets

[Wingspan]

I never liked the late 80s/early 90s kelly green unis. I prefer the big white stiped sleaves of the early 80s. Hell at least they won a little in those
