Steve Smith has mental issues Mussa, he punched someone in the video room and has gone apeshtein many times

Fitz is the brass ring the Eagles won't stretch for.

At most, the Eagles will stretch for the brown ring at WR.

re-watching some of the old birds games...mcnabb is to blame sometimes for holding the ball too long.  however, when he's in we call plays that take longer to develop, our wr's can't get open, then 5 gets injured/sacked/hit.  mcnabb gets killed.  then we get a wr one year who can produce and...is that the 2nd season in the past 6 years (if you don't count the rams/bengals games in '04 where we sat a lot of players) and he's playing in nov./dec.  then if/when he gets injured, it's the playcalling that's back to the nice short sweet passes and then the few shots downfield.  although with garcia, reid lengthened the leash a bit as the season went on.  the point is when aj/garcia/detmer are in, we have the typical wco, but lacking in the "explosive" department (plays over 20+ yards).  then when 5 is in ar goes aggressive apeshtein and it seems like every 8th play is an aggressive call that is hit or miss, donovan making a big play or getting hit/sacked bc the call was zesty and/or his wr's can't get open and/or he didn't see them in time.  reid and co. love to to say how explosive their offense is (in re: 20+ yard plays) - but with that comes their qb getting hit.  the only time (1 of 2 years) that don is healthy and we're (relatively) successful, we have a pro-bowl wr.  no pro-bowl wr, and he's injured 4 out of 6 years bc the personnel has drastically changed and brainiac reid doesn't adjust the playcalling.  he'll still call the same plays, but with james, pinky, na, wilbur, etc.  i started at the 02 season bc that was his 4th year, and "it takes" 3-5 years to understand the wco.  i figure by the 4th year, mcnabb knows what he's doing by the end of year 3, reid knows that and has confidence in him, and viola, 1st time in 2 years that he's injured.

i'm curious if anyone is not as lazy as i am and is willing to looking up how many times he got hit/hurried/sacked to explosive plays during those years.

off-season sucks.

WTMF? It's been almost twenty-four hours. You shouldn't lie to people on the internet
