I think we're overreacting a tad.

We're definitely taking a step back without Bradley, but other than that we didn't lose anything from last year to this year and there's no reason to think our top guys are going to fall off a cliff.

And yes I know we lost Dawkins, but he was not a good safety and I doubt the drop off to Demps/Jones will be that much.

Still a top 10 defense at least.
You will be fine. You just got beat down by the Saints. This is something 16 defenses will experience this year. It shouldn't change the way you feel about your D. Before the game you guys were so fired up about your D, keep your heads up.

wow what a condescending douchefarg youre....saints score a bunch of pts in the first two weeks after an eight win season and all four of their fans crawl out of the woodwork and becomse aholes?

youre a saints "fan" keep your head up

Can anyone answer why the DBs were always playing 5+yds off?

Why didn't they press?

Why did they CONTINUOUSLY allow Dallas free releases to set up those bubble screens? Why did they allow them free releases to get into their routes?

Why are we subjected to the likes of Moise Fokou, Chris Gocong, Akeem Jordan as supposed real NFL LBs?

Why do they refuse to address LDE? So much for fastballs, Reid.

Get some help for Cole. Get some pass rushers. Get some real LBs and most of all get a goddamn attitude adjustment.

Akeem isnt a problem, he's actually better than i expected. The rest is dreck, Bradley could be a mess coming off knee surgery, farg this shtein

PhillyGirl · January 10, 2010, 07:00:28 PM

I also like Akeem Jordan.

PhillyPhreak54 · January 10, 2010, 10:37:30 PM

Akeem Jordan and Tracy White are good nickel LBs and STs players.

Seabiscuit36 · January 10, 2010, 10:55:30 PM

Akeem was playing great up until his knee injury, he's been playing at half speed. White is a backup, and a valuable one, but they need a real LB starter to make him more effective.

Jordan was ok, but don't you want a linebacker who can disrupt plays and cause havoc?

None of our linebackers do that, and neither did Bradley really. He wasn't pro bowl caliber or anything. He was good, not great.

Can't wait to hear what Sheldon has to say about his contract now.

MMH · January 10, 2010, 11:17:43 PM

Hopefully he uses it to ignite the gasoline he poured over his head.

He'll say that he had a great/pro bowl caliber season and was playing injured at the end of the season until his health finally got the better of him.

i was going thru the respective defensive rosters of the cowboys and eagles and assigned a number btwn 1-8 to each player

1 for a first round pick
8 for an UFA

dallas' total = 27
eagles total = 47

and i included bradley as the eagles mlb

shorebird · January 11, 2010, 07:55:46 PM

Well, that says what we already knew, up till the last couple years the Eagles haven't drafted very well compared to the Cowboys, or any other team on the up swing.
I guess a second round pick was no. 2, and so on?

ice grillin you · January 11, 2010, 07:57:11 PM

yeah...something i just did for fun but i feel like its def telling to a certain extent

PhillyPhreak54 · January 11, 2010, 10:21:35 PM

Interesting.

And that's what happens when you have a roster full of hopeful's.

Get legit playmakers on the defensive side. We've seen them address the offensive side, now go get some bad motherfargers on the defense.
