The 2007 Offseason Thread

[PhillyPhanInDC]

I never even so much as looked at the EMB before becoming a member here, but I have since, and holy shtein, what bunch of front office corksuckers over there. I like that the fact that this board is full of TATE hating degenerates, however. Hopefully it stays that way.

EAGLES UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR OFFSEASON CONTACT VIOLATIONS

An industry source tells us that the Philadelphia Eagles are under investigation for alleged repeat violations of the rules against contact during offseason practices.

The source says that tapes of practices have been turned over to the union over the pleadings of coach Andy Reid, who believes that there was no reason to explore the situation.

The source also believes that the inquiry is the result of a complaint made by a player, and not the product of the NFLPA deciding to take matters into its own hands.

So the next question is who would complain?  Typically, players go with the program unless their noise is out of joint for some reason.  And when it comes to Eagles players who might currently have their noses out of joint, there's only one name that comes to mind.

The penalty could include the loss of a draft pick.

I'm guessing they are alluding to McNabb, which makes no sense. Not likely he'd be getting "contacted".

[StevieLeftCollege]

Highly doubt it was McNabb, QBs always wear red and never get touched unless it is gameday.

Maybe it was Trotter.

Bunkley's lazy excuse to not have to hit someone.

Maybe it was Westbrook because he's pissed Joseph A. Beancounter is making him give that 3M back.

[Dillen]

I bet it was Runyan. He hates contact.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

There's no way McNabb would do that.  At least PFT doesn't make any bones about the fact they're 100% speculating.

From K.C. Joyner's ESPN article on underrated and overrated players.  Look who's listed as the second-most underrated WR in the NFL:

Reggie Brown

Donte Stallworth (who left via free agency) and Kevin Curtis (who signed with the Eagles) have received most of the attention in Philadelphia this offseason, but if the 2006 metrics are any indication, the breakout receiver could be Brown. He ranked 12th in the league with a 9.6 YPA last year, putting him in the company of Reggie Wayne and Darrell Jackson.

He also ranked in the top 22 in bomb and deep pass YPA and had the sixth-highest medium pass YPA. Opposing defenses might be paying a lot of attention to Curtis this season, and Brown's metrics indicate he could make them pay for it.

That's right....my boy.

That's right....my boy.

They're all your boys, Homer McHomerson.

this team has the potential to be very damn good.  the eagles seem to have a well balance team and if health is on their side...the superbowl is only a destination.

Oh christ. Here we go.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Hello rjs246.  I don't understand how you could possibly think this team won't win the Super Bowl this year.  They obviously have no major weaknesses, and the offensive line eats a lot of bacon.  Please don't be so negative.
