Leonard Weaver, Philadelphia Eagle

oh Cecil Martin

[Diomedes]

until then people really shouldnt be so fixated on the fb position

to vigy, mild pleasure from people that the Eagles upgraded a position is "fixated"

[ice grillin you]

guess you havent followed the eagles for the past 10 years...if you think im even remotely referring to this thread then you need to get out more

[General_Failure]

Maybe he should run some errands?

[ice grillin you]

perhaps he could get a true blocking fullback with his dry cleaning

[Diomedes]

I'm too fixated on the Eagles new fullback to do anything but argue with vigy about his bullshtein

oh Cecil Martin

Ahh, opening day 2001.  Rams.   The Vet.  Didn't he score two touchdowns that day? Where the hell did he end up?

good signing.  weaver has to be a better blocking fb than klecko...since he's an actual fb.  and they can use him as a receiver out of the backfield.

It's not that it's not a "good" signing.  It's just more of the same from Reid in terms of going after players who fit his absurd system rather than him making adjustments to the system that incorporate more running the ball.

If anyone here thinks Weaver was signed as a fullback to actually improve the running game, they're kidding themselves.

That's all I need. 

Rome, we all know this isn't a move to beef up the running game.  Nobody should be expecting that anymore as long as Andy's torturing chairs around the NC.  But this is a guy who for one, should know his assignments better than Klecko, since he actually plays the position in a similar offense... and we all know the pass in the flat to the FB ain't going away, so we might as well have someone there who may be able to do something with it.  No reason that a defensive guy like Klecko should be holding the ball in his hands BY DESIGN.

It's sad as hell that this is what we have to settle for with Reid, but this is where we're at.

You're (you and igy) naive if you thought Reid was going to change his philosophy this offseason. He's addicted to passing the ball like Garrett and Brit are to being accepted in the hood. Weaver's an upgrade over Klecko, he's a true FB.

Everythings black and white, no gray in the middle.

Reid said it himself in his circle jerk with Spadaro.  He is who he is, he does what he does, and he has no intention of changing.  What's amazing is he's been a head coach in the NFL for ten years and still hasn't won the Super Bowl, but evidently to him, that doesn't matter.  He's not going to change despite the fact that's he's ultimately failed every year he's been here.

I don't know if it's hubris or stupidity on his part but the best coaches always make adjustments.  But not Reid.  Nope - not gonna happen.

[Magical_Retard]

Why would he? He has had "some success here" or whatever he said.
