I know, it's stunning. But lots of teams passed on him, I think Philly passed on him once for a DT.

I go the other way. I think Philthy, this year excepted, is generally under-rated. You never see their players on pre-season all-star lists, you never hear about ANY of their defensive players although many of them are exceptional (Bradley, Bunkley, Mikell.) And their coaching staff seems to be very ...

In addition, you have 2 veteran DEs who are really strong against the run...and not so good in the passrush. If you're trying to get your best players on the field, on obvious run downs, it makes sense to have Daniels in there, doesn't it?[/quote]

How does this justify ...

I think I heard that the Eagles were VERY high on Barnes, so given their player evaluation that reflects well on Bright.

Is ey back in? No NFL Network at my LA home.

[quote="SkinsFreak"]Um, I'm not too sure about that. They cut two of their top three offensive players this year; Stallworth and Garcia.[/quote]


Actually they didn't cut either of them.

How do you release your leading tackler in a non cap related move. Hopefully it is the Iggles first move of sucking it up this year, next to the GMEN who have lost there 2 best players, this should be a 2 team battle in the east this year.

I dunno, Iggles are pretty good about knowing when to ...

I'd even trade a fifth or sixth to Philthy.

Wow. People on this board have lost their mind.

Let's all come back to reality.

It's early, but I think we have a chance to leap-frog Dallas for 2nd place this year.

OL:
Philthy's by far the best, but we're better than Dallas, and the Gints are just awful.

WR:
We're just as good as Dallas (who's old.) Philthy and NY are behind us.

TEs:
I think all 4 teams are about ...

Good post. Philthy has a good Front Office, but they ain't perfect.

In fact, I can't think of one infallible FO in the entire league. I'd love for Dan to get a little more like Philthy though, maybe not spend so ridiculously and build more through da draft.

[quote="DEHog"]On a personal level I'd love to see Luke sign with the Skins. I've met him he's a good guy, does alot of work here in DE where's he's from and lives in the offseason. Professionally not sure he can play guard...but he'd give us depth at T. I'm sure Luke would love to catch on with us ...

I agree. It's Seattle. Then Philly, then Chicago, then Dallas, then us.



wonker

I just don't get why we constantly trade future picks! It's mind-boggling.

Winston Justice went in the 2nd round. Why lose the ability to get someone of his caliber next year this far in advance?

ARG!



wonker

Yeah, Philthy's draft was sick. Justice and that huge Guard they got in the 5th. Thank god their acumen at Free Agency isn't as good as with drafting...



wonker

Don't know where you got your info, but Freeney's a free agent NEXT year.

Sheesh.

Wayne and James are both FAs this year.

I'd love to have him, but there is absolutely wno way he is released

He is supposedly a free agent this year (I have no link to back it up, however).

He is ...

I completely agree with 56. What did Gibbs do to merit any type of admiration? The team has been laughably bad against two teams that didn't make last year's playoffs (and may not make this year's.)

I'd like to see some improvement, not two passes.



wonker

Absolutely not.

The offense ...

hk,

I apologize for going overboard. I didn't mean to imply that our defense was awful, nor that the Eagles defense was stellar. I was just taking issue with the comment that the Eagles Defense Sucks. Which was the sentiment of the post I was responding to.

It's a major issue I have. It's fine ...

[quote="hkHog"][quote="JPM36"]Also, those numbers you have for points given up last year seem way too high. I thought the Skins gave up more like 300 points last season. And there's no way any NFL team would give up over 900 points in a single season. You might want to check on those numbers again ...

Well, that's a bit far-fetched.

I'm hoping for .500, with nice development of an offensive scheme, and Taylor and Rodgers forming the foundation of a defense.



wonker

Also, look how cheap the Eagles are yet again. $12.6 mil under!!! The next closest is the Rams at $6.5 mil under. I can't believe they're so proud of that as well because it does them no good. Maybe if they weren't so damn stingy they would have a Super Bowl by now. I'm not complaining though ...

Of course we're not drafting well. Look at the other teams in the league.

They are all (philthy, carolina, Ne, Pitt) built through draft picks.




wonker

I heard someone on ESPN radio said Philthy was "in negotiations" with McCants.

That would suck.

Did DMac play Special Teams? I see that as Philth's only need for a #5 WR.



wonker

Anyone else hear this?
