Cowboys @ Eagles Game Thread

[ice grillin you]

james harrison made more plays last night than any eagle defender has in two years

i made a post about the steelers and how they reload with unbelievable athletes along there front seven and have done so for the last 15 years....i just dont get it...the birds get mark simenou omar gaither and chris gocong...while they pass on athletes every draft...just in the last two drafts they could have had demeco ryans and jon beason...they refuse to do it and it drives me farging crazy

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The cost of getting Demeco Ryans would have been not getting Bunkley.

[ice grillin you]

id rather have demeco ryans than bunkley...but what you say isnt necessarily true anyway....they traded up to get justice...they could have done the same for ryans

[SD_Eagle5]

jon beason...they refuse to do it and it drives me farging crazy

I forget where I heard it but supposedly if Beason was there they would have picked him. They should try GoCong at DE, its his natural position and its not like he can be any worse.

[ice grillin you]

thats the problem...if its a stud linebacker they gotta hope hes there (and truthfully even then they dont pick them) but if its an offensive lineman they like theyll move the earth to get him

But don't worry... they'll still address the position by drafting a 2nd day player who "has a motor".

Trent Cole was one of those players.

trent cole was not a high motor guy....hes a freak...barry gardner was a high motor guy...

high motor is coaches speak for hes a hard worker but dont expect much production out of him...once every few years youll find an aaron kampman but for the most part high motor guys arent going to contribute much in the league

That's revisionist history. He was definitely a high-motor strictly speed guy coming out. He's turned into a freak, but that's not how he started.

Yeah, and so was Considine... and Gaither... and Patterson... and McCoy (1st day "motor" guys, but "motor" guys, nonetheless).


Bland.

pretty sure you never saw him in college....he was ridiculous...the reason he dropped in the draft was because of being undersized not because he didnt have crazy athletic ability

in fact many people thought hed play lb in a 3-4 coming out...a high motor guy doesnt havre the athletic ability to play a rush linebacker who will have to drop in coverage OR defensive end

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He also got owned by Flozell this week, though.

[ice grillin you]

other than reggie white im quite certain every defensive end thats ever played has been owned before

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I know.  I just want to remind everyone that even the good players on this team stunk it up.

No hope for the future at all, IMO.  By the time they're able to get a team and coaching staff in place with a new attitude and swagger, Westbrook will be past his prime.  Runyan, Thomas, Dawkins, and McNabb will be gone or completely ineffective.  Etc etc.

No chance for at least the next 3 years, unless changes start NOW.

I kept and eye on cole most of the game into the 3rd and flozell did a good job and cole didn't seem to try anything different on his attack, which was confusing. that being said almost every other play they had witten or fasano helping flozell out. flozell got away with quite a few holding calls. A few were so bad i couldn't believe a flag wasn't thrown.
