trotter cut

The truth is that I blast McNabb for being thick with Reid because I dislike Reid's coaching style.
I really like Reid's (and the front office's) GM and personnel style when it comes to cutting bait with old players and not over-committing to free agents, etc.

What I want is for McNabb to blast Reid The Coach and support Reid The GM, but that isn't what we get and it comes off as whining.

There, I explained myself.

Whatever igy, all im saying is that if he can be a backup for gruden, he could be a backup here... Just wish Reid wouldn't act like Trott was too proud not to be a backup... if he goes elsewhere and starts i'm fine with it

At this point I stopped caring what McNabb has to say, regardless of what comes out of his mouth its over analyzed and usually has no bearing on anything.

Only a team desperate for a LB will sign Trotter to start. (Which the bucs are). Trotter is too proud to be a backup...but that is all he is really good for anymore.

On another note...the only reason Dawkins and McNabb said anything about missing trotter are because they are the only two guys that remember him being here the first time around.

perhaps its semantics but trotter can probably still start hes just not a full time player

if he goes to another team and plays well on 1st and 2nd downs while the eagle are still getting gashed for tons of running yards then you can say it was a mistake

He didn't play well on 1st and 2nd down the past two seasons so I won't get down when teams are running all over us which is inevitable.

Well it's been 48 hours of the media chumming the waters...this was bound to happen.

I think the media in general are surprised at the lacadasical reaction of the fans and they keep trying to get this into a frenzy.

I'd agree with that, but I will say this, if the defense or the team as a whole struggles, the hungry hungry hippos are going to have a field day with the way the perceive the situation was handled.

Also, I watched a portion of the fat man presser, and Reid emphasized that Trotter is not a second team guy, and that he deserved better. I think they felt that Gaither/Bradley were really making a strong push, and would have made Trotter at best a few play a game kind of guy. I don't think anyone in the coaching staff really figures Trotter is completely done, just that he would have to be on the bench for most, if not the whole game, and Trot wasn't having any of that.

Good for him, adios, and I'm done with the subject.

last year he was out of shape and played bad
two years ago he was fine
he could be fine again
especially if he only plays running downs


i personally think hes done and i said so after the raven game...but theres the possibility he isnt...well find out

umm but if he blasts Reid the coach he becomes Tiki, TO, or any number of other players blasted for being non team players for calling out coaches and other teammates.

as always mcnabb cant win with anything he says.


i bet dawkins, mcnabb, and other long time eagles were also upset by the letting go of players like douglas, vincent, taylor, and duce but the only difference here is the way they did it....3 weeks into camp so close to the season opener.

i will say this again...i dont have a problem with trotter being let go....i just hate our draft that much more though. we have immediate needs on the defense and we selected a guy who might not even be ready to start at QB for another yr or 2. so what happens? one injury to the LB corp or to the safeties and we are left with in experienced project players starting for a D that was already suspect. and we all know someone will get hurt. it happens every yr to every team. so the defense struggles again...we still make the playoffs thanks to the crappy NFC and we come up short again...and come next season mcnabb gets cut or maybe he gets hurt again and they start kolb justifying the pick. our "philosophy" is so retarded its unreal.
