Correll Buckhalter, Philadelphia Eagle, s'more

[Rome]

Please ban me, I have nothing to contribute.!  It's true!


Ahaha.  I love the filter in this place.

meh.  so much for an upgrade.

This move just means that's we're still going to have to endure pass on 3rd and 1 or less...for the rest of our lives!

good.   The thought of Ron Dayne makes me sick.   CBUCK really has impressed me since the injuries,  I thought CBUCK was not used nearly enough last year.   When he touched the ball he made things happen.   Just pray the health holds up.

Excellent points...I to thought he could have been used more last year.

i agree that buck is a better option than dayne...but don't let the eagles' media machine brainwash you into thinking they were the only 2 rb's available.

[Eaglez]

Buck is still relatively young and has a good burst of speed; I just hope his knees hold up for two consecutive seasons.

But when I think of Buck I think of a "medium-sized" back; not someone who gets put in there to pick up tough yards. He's pretty much just another weapon to give Westbrook a break every once in a while; maybe get a few hand offs and dunk passes, but no more than 10-12 touches a game.

However, I think it is about time to abandon the whole "the Eagles need a big back that can pick up tough yards" bantering. 3rd and 1 is either going to be a roll-out that never materializes or some quick slant that the D is all over. This team is not a "tough yardage" team. It will pretty much always be a finesse team as long as Andy thinks the Eagles have a chance to win with McNabb throwing the ball 35-45 times a game, every game.

I take it you're a big Dillon fan?

I probably would have rather had Dillon also, but IMO Buck is better than Chris Brown or Ron Dayne.

[MURP]

Dillon would have been nice, but has he said he is willing to take under a 100 carries and basically be a very minimal  part of an offense?  He doesnt come across as that type of player.   I dunno.

So they were offering him the starting job? *rimshot*

[MURP]

GF vs Reid.   FIGHT!

[Eaglez]

Buck probably is better than Chris Brown, and Buck has so many years working in this offense. I like Buck being back, but I just hope he continues to be in good health and that he gets some meaningful carries in the game.

Put it another way, I hope they are bringing him back because the Eagles plan on utilizing him, and not just bringing him back so he can sit on the bench. Like MURP, I want to see him used more in this offense.

I still wouldn't mind seeing a tons of fun RB picked up, though. I wonder if there are any in the draft.

Moats is done. The guy has two good knees and still can't get on the field.

One of my guys sent that to me as a text message a couple of months ago, the song that goes with it is priceless.

As far as the Buckhalter thing goes I am glad he is back, though I would still like to see them bring in someone else, preferably through the draft.

He was apparently on the record as saying that coming to Philly to back up Westbrook was a scenario he'd be happy with.
