The 2007 Offseason Thread

[Drunkmasterflex]

Patterson is miscast as an everydown player.  The problem for him is that nobody else has stepped up and played well enough to warrant more playing time.  Hopefully, guys like Ramsey and Bunkley make big strides next season.

Or they sign a big DT to fill that void. It might actually be to our advantage that there isn't a big name out there, because we could fill that void on the cheap.

The Eagles just don't believe in "big" DTs.

Or big RB'S

or act like you care when you lose...mcnabb loses the superbowl and all he says is how they cant wait to get back at next year...garcia loses a divisional round and is crying his eyes out in the locker room saying how this is gonna eat at him for a long long time

it all goes back to mcnabb wanting to win but not caring if he loses...and when he does lose him and his family get the added bonus of seeing the eagle fans who they cant stand lose as well

ur joking right? his mom said exactly what a lot of ppl were already saying....in fact fox sports had some absurd rumor already up about mcnabb being traded to minn. she said she would be happy but it would be bittersweet...well no shtein of course it would be for the mother of the starting player. but she said she was rooting for the team. we all know she should shut up and not even talk but i dont see anything wrong she said, esp if she is looking at how the fans would react.

2ndly mcnabb doesnt care about winning? ive given into to the whole fire andy reid thing cause i really cant believe the game he called in NO, but how in the world do you know he doesnt care? did he come tell u? just cause he didnt cry like romo or he isnt a firey guy like garcia? its almost like b4 the first dallas game this yr when you kept saying mcnabb doesnt have the mental toughness or that he wont be up for this dallas game....seriously are you his butt buddy that you know all his personal feelings? if anything i would THINK mcnabb hates losing, and thats from yrs of dissapointment and his comments on those big losses. what did u want mcnabb to say after the superbowl? him saying he cant wait to get back next yr is wrong?

mcnabb can never ever win over ppl like you. even if he wins a superbowl here in philly you will find something obscure in his press conference saying "omg he didnt really care if they won".

i guess mcnabb has got to build up street cred or something...he has to cry in press conferences, call out players, and pump his fists cause apparently showing emotion means u care and not showing emotion means u just dont care and are there for the ride. brilliant deductions.

Is there any chance that the Skins let TJ Duckett go considering they have Betts and still have Portis (for now)?

I'd like to see him in Philly. He's the 'big back' everyone would be clamoring for and can pick up tough yards behind that line. Garcia will be back -- he just doesn't want to move. Everyone wants Stallworth back. If those are taken care of I like the prospects of the offense next year.

The D does have the potential to be a disaster. That, more than anything, needs to be the focal point of the offseason. Hopefully getting some competent defensive players will bolster the special teams as well.

Duckett is a small back hiding in a big backs body. He tip toes too much and doesn't run with authority. That's why ATL ended up souring on him. He's kind of like Ron Dayne in the sense that they are both bigger guys who were tried out in short yardage roles and failed miserably.

I'd rather have Ryan Moats than TJ Duckett to be honest.

That's utterly stupid.  Stop it.

i really wouldn't even care if we went into the season with the backs we have right now cause if we do re sign stallworth i think our offense personal is fine as it is....its the philosophy. its the fact that although we started to run more when mcnabb went down we STILL didnt run enough. we won the giants game but there were also some retarded pass plays in that game where we should have been running. and the fact that our playcalling reverted in the NO game only scares me further into thinking that when mcnabb is back healthy we are going to go completely back to pass, pass, and play action pass. what diff does it make when u get a big back when we dont wanna run? to be honest i think westbrook and or buckhalter can get the 3rd and 1s its just that we dont stick with the run enough. if its 2nd and 1 we might run and if we get stuffed you can forget about another run play on 3rd and short.

[Quasimoto]

Whats the deal with Ryan Moats anyway?  Is he even going to be back next season?

No, I'm serious. Duckett is trash. He was trash in ATL and I didn't want him when the masses were clamoring for him when it became obvious his time in ATL was up. He's a steaming pile of crap.

If Duckett is trash, then Moats is the half-digested feces of the goat that ate the trash.

You seen what Duckett did to Biggie right?

Moats can be a lumpy mound of elephant poo for all I care. But I'd take that poo over TJ Duckett.

[ice grillin you]

gonna be a long offseason when less than 100 hours after the NO loss we are arguing whos better tj duckett or ryan moats

[bobbyinlondon]

Duckett is a FA--supposedly, the Skins traded for him because they were afraid the Eagles were going to get him.
