Takeo Spikes, Kelly Holcomb, Philadelphia Eagles

[General_Failure]

farg I wanted Spikes too. I say we all measure our necks to see has the largest. Largest neck claims Spikes as offical sponsor.

18" for me. I think I'll stick with sponsoring no one, however.

I found this post on the Giants MB particulary hilarious...

is it just me or does Philly try to do something right after the Giants do something?  I mean it was bad enough that they ended up getting Curtis after the Giants were somewhat a front runner, until the Eagles decided what the hell lets throw millions to him so he can't be with the Giants. Then today we sign Mitchell, and what do they do?? Trade for Spikes why? because we once again made a move for someone, and they must try to be better than us.

I'm going to laugh when BJ runs right through that retirement home they call a LB core, someone should preorder some wheelchairs for Trotter, and Spikes

haha, 30 years old is still very young nowadays.. 30 used to be the Pro Sports age for being old but now they are still very much in their prime..  30 is the new 20...  This guy still has alot of fuel in the tank...

Funny the guy they signed was 27 and they said he is young and in his prime...  GINTS fear US..

[Geowhizzer]

30 is still old for a physical position in the NFL.  Especially for a LB with achilles issues.

Still, an improvement for the Eagles, and not a lot of cost.  What the heck.

If only they could put a line in front of these guys so their old asses can make a play every now and then.

What, a line of first round busts and cyclopses isn't good enough for you? Picky.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

This is the best goddamn news I have heard all goddamn day long.

Great trade. It was time for Walker to leave. Kelly Holcomb? Who cares. A throw in clip-board holder.

I love it.

[MDS]

Maybe he's a good holder. That's why they got him.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well, then AJ will be #3 again and apparently he was promised the #2 gig....

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Philadelphia used first-round choices in consecutives years to add young defensive tackles, taking Mike Patterson in 2005 and Brodrick Bunkley in '07.

Typos galore!

[jroceagles]

I just hope this does not mean good bye to Trotter......I think Trotter could benefit from having Spikes along side of him

[ice grillin you]

I'd most like to see Spikes in the middle.  But that still leaves either Jones or Gocong (or Daniels??!!) on the outside.  Yikes.

this is true and when you think of it that way i guess spikes has to play the outside...the nice thing will be to see the sam actually make some plays now...dhani didnt get abused like mccoy he just never did ANYTHING...never ever made a play...ever

[Zanshin]

I'm in Italy and out of the loop...but this is good news.  Ciao, Dhani.

[rjs246]

The idea of having an extra guy with some fire and attitude and leadership on the defensive side of the ball is the thing I'm most excited about here. Well, that and the picture of Gocong that matty keeps posting. Haha, that shtein is ridiculous.

[hunt]

spikes will give them some good depth behind gocong.

nice move!

Say goodbye to Jones via Draft day.
