2013 Training Camp/Preseason Thread

[hbionic]

What I did was forward all the games I had recorded. I saved myself two hours of agony doing that.

I've paid my dues, I don't have to endure craptastic play for the sake of watching. I honestly get 1000x the entertainment reading your game posts. It truly says it all.

Like Dio, I'll watch the nationally televised games and maybe catch a random game here or there.

It'd be nice to have just one dominating, nasty, monster on defense. Just one.

Yep. If only they had a high draft pick this past year to be in position to take one. Someone like, oh I don't know, Jarvis Jones perhaps?

But no. Lets not take a nasty edge rusher. No sir.

[reese125]

I dont even want an edge rusher as much as I would like a friggin MLB that has some balls, can communicate with his players, put them in the right spots, be a reliable anchor in the middle and sideline to sideline.

Motherfargers quit on the field all the time and you can smell it when they've checked out.   They played gutless all last season and routinely got their faces pushed in.  Of all the things that bothered me about that team, that was the worst.

totally agree on the leadership aspect...football is the one sport where it matters and they have none....they were pathetic mops with andy reid who everyone to a man respects...now they have a sissy college coach whos number one goal is to make the smoothies taste right....what do you think is going to happen....cary Williams is the new drc and connor barwin is nnamdi....same cast different names

to qb's point tho you can have all the leadership in the world but if you don't have anyone that can play it doesn't matter....

eagles happen to be in that dead zone where they have neither

[General_Failure]

Man, how did a team that just fired their inept coach ever get to such an awful state?

[ice grillin you]

this is the year to suck

im absolutely fascinated by the decision some team (hopefully the eagles) is going to have to make next year....do you take the best defensive line prospect OF ALL TIME or a qb (if you need one)

what are everyones thoughts on that?

if say a team like the eagles picks first who has no future qb on their roster

[General_Failure]

I'm totally fine with the Best Player Available system, unless that's a RB or TE.

[Rome]

Do you take Cam Newton or Von Miller?

[MDS]

you take jc, then draft JOHNNY FOOTBALL in the 2nd round

[Eagles_Legendz]

Some team is going to take a flyer on Manziel in round 1 I think unless he bombs the interview process or measures smaller than he's listed.

But I agree I'd take Clowney and then there seems to be a handful of pretty good QBs with more upside than anyone on the roster who will be around late rd1/early rd2 if you want to go that way.  It depends though - if you truly believe TB is an elite prospect I think it's hard to pass him up.

[ice grillin you]

Do you take Cam Newton or Von Miller?

way over simplifying things

von miller is a linebacker posing as an undersized 3-4 end...that's way under selling jc

you want a modern day comparison then clown show is julius peppers but better

also teddy b can be much better than cam

[MDS]

honestly with the eagles luck, it doesnt much matter who they take

loser franchise loser city, aint nothin gonna happen

[ice grillin you]

It depends though - if you truly believe TB is an elite prospect I think it's hard to pass him up.

elite is a given....you take the qb....what makes it so interesting to me is what if you believe teddy b is a great qb prospect but not elite...isnt a great qb better than an elite DE?...or is it?

Well that's kind of what I'm saying.  If you think he's RGIII/Luck caliber then I think you have to take him.  If you just determine he's a very good QB prospect I don't think you can pass on Clowney especially considering how badly the defense needs someone like him.

[Rome]

I'd take Clowney and not think twice about it.

And why the hate for Von Miller?  He's an absolute beast.
