the eagles have now scooped up a hope for the best big injury guys in chung

from lock starter to hope for the best injury case in the blink of an eye

if he's healthy throughout camp he is the starter--problem is what is likely to happen mid season. He signed for glorified back up money because he didn't have a choice due to his injury history.

look mom i can read!

no way Chung will be a back up on this defense.

you thought he was a LOCK starter on march 13...before even a mini camp...which is lol clueless....you have no idea how football works...i told you he wasnt near a lock and five minutes later they signed kenny phillips....this wasnt even a case of opinion...it was strictly common sense and knowing how shtein works

Until they signed another safety it could have easily been argued that Chung was the obvious starter AND that he was a hit or miss huge injury risk signing. So get off each others nuts. Or don't. Who cares.

no rjs it couldnt have been easily argued--youre wrong. so wrong that you dont know how football works. youre clueless.

well christ thats kind of the point....they obviously were going to acquire at least one more safety...its beyong simplistic and again just not knowing how things work to think the eagles would hand a starting position in march to a player like patrick farging chung...jesus christ you two are acting like brian dawkins in his prime is currently their SS...saying patrick chung was anything more than in the mix for a starting job on this team was/is ludicrous

excuse me while i go smash my head thru a big screen tv

They have also hired a new team doctor and trainer. The MD is just coming back from a stroke and the trainer recently lost a leg in a boating accident.

This was actually a deleted scene from The Replacements and not real, right? Tell me I'm right.

Are you joking? That's hillarious.

It was a joke, for now. But if they can get a good discount on a surgeon with Parkinson's, they're all in.

On a related note, a friend of mine knew the Eagle's chiropractor well. When I went to look him up I didn't see him on the team web pages with the team physicians and such. When I asked why he told me the guy would have had to pay a pretty good fee to have his name on the Eagle's web page so he didn't bother.

Didn't say anything when the trade went down for whatever reason, but I like this. His freshman year was really the last year I played close attention to college football (remember when he was called 'Regis' Benn? name test fail), and I remember all the talk about him being a 5 star recruit with all this potential. After Mendenhall left that Illinois team was a fargin disaster so it's not much of a surprise his #'s were never consistent, but then in Tampa he did basically nothing.. hopefully he's someone who needs a change of scenery. He's a really good fit for an up tempo offense, and a guy Chip probably likes - RAC and good blocker. Wouldn't be surprised if he makes the team over someone like Avant. igy's comparison to Boldin is a good one, that's who everyone compared him to in college. Doubt his hands are as good as Boldin's though.

I don't think Dr. Octopus's hands are as good as Boldin's.

Dillen · March 20, 2013, 01:00:21 PM

It was a nice way of saying "he probably has stone hands, why else couldn't he crack Tampa's lineup"

reese125 · March 20, 2013, 02:45:17 PM

i dont want to see avant go anywhere. hes one of the most sure-handed possession receivers in the league.

phillycrew · March 20, 2013, 02:57:18 PM

I agree. Sure he isn't flashy but he is money on third down. Who would have thought that Big Red would have left us with some good WR and RB's and a zesty o-line and d-line with all his talk about how it all starts up front. I do like the moves he has made in KC though.
