  1. Cast offs? TO is YOUR Castoff? Wasn't he the 49ers cast off.. then the Cowboys castoff? Sheesh.. something tells me the Eagles are scrambling.. championship at any cost... I guess the reason we don't make big splashes in FA is because we have our farm in order... Can't wait to meet you guys.. this ought to be fun.

     

    yeah jihad terrorist....owens was a castoff.........a castoff is someone that has been discarded.

     

    anytime you deactivate a player and then cut him, he's a castoff. the eagles didnt want him anymore.

  2. You did make some upgrades at some positions, and got worse at others. Safeties? Linebackers? You think Casey Matthews is going to be just as good as his brother right out the gate? Oh yeah, and what happens if Vick pops a hammy? You trust Vince Young?

     

    Kurt coleman started many games last year at strong safety and played a significant amount of snaps. nate allen was the openeing day starter at free safety and had 3 picks in the first four games before he got injured so i'm not really worried about safety. plus when you have 4 stud corners, who cares? linebackers are slightly a concern but we picked up better defensive tackles for our new scheme....again not worried.

     

    what happens if any starting qb in the nfl gets injured? yeah, we'll likely be a worse team as i'm sure the giants would be if manning breaks his leg.

     

    but to answer your question, if vick pops a hammy we'll go with kafka....young is in philly to rehab his image and get quality qb coaching. he's merely trade bait for the next offseason. eagles will land another 2nd round draft pick for a backup qb just they did with aj feely and kevin kolb

  3. Look who's here! D4P! Good to see you here, dude. I hope you are enjoying your offseason trophy. Remember there are still games to play, and no team wins on paper.

     

    we had a very good team last.....fell just short to the SB champs.

     

    made some significant upgrades this offseason.....it's SB or bust

  4. This sucks. Really sucks. I read this last night and was too pissed and upset to say anything about it. Hard to believe something actually shut me up, lol. I'm really conflicted on this one. Part of me says Reese should've taken the chance on Steve on a multi-year deal. I realize the seriousness of Smith's injury. But if you're a betting man, you bet with Steve. Look at him, this is a guy who has size and speed limitations but would not be denied in working to make himself the best receiver he could be. I was a doubter in the past, but Steve's work ethic made me a believer. He even became a receiver that could stretch the field in 2009 and early 2010. Plus he's become a smart, savvy veteran receiver that is a polished route runner. He was the quintessential professional Giant in his time here... you can't let a guy like that go to your rival.

     

    As far as this year, the Eagles would be wise to place him on PUP, which I understand is not their plan... he's going to play right away. Even after the PUP would be over, they would still have 3 weeks... they should use all of it. Let him get strength in those legs, let him work back slowly in getting to 100%. It remains to be seen if that knee is going to allow him to be as explosive as he is accustomed to this year. We will see. This definitely isn't about what he can give the Eagles in September and October, it's about December and January. If he can get full go by the stretch run, he's going to be a major weapon to contend with in their arsenal. Another factor in this that Schefter is talking about on ESPN right now is that Maclin is still going through tests dealing with his mysterious illness. This may have been a move to shore up the receiving corps because they might not have confidence in Maclin's ability to play at least part of this season.

     

    For the 3rd receiver role, people have already mentioned Hixon, Jernigan, and Cruz. First, I highly doubt Jernigan is going to play a major role this early. The other two guys have a chance. And a third guy that I think I'm the only one that talks about is Devin Thomas. He was a second round pick. I know he's had a rough go in the NFL and the Redskins dumped him and Carolina never really gave him much of a chance. But now he's on a team with a legit QB and he does have an excellent physical skill set. I think he still has a chance to blossom here and this is the best chance he's ever going to get. Hixon is not a bad option in the slot, either... we know what he is and I think we can succeed with Hixon there, but I'm looking for either Cruz or Thomas to provide that little bit of extra wow-factor into the offense. We'll see.

     

    As far as free agent WR's out there, I know he's getting long in the tooth but as a role player, TJ Houshmanzadeh is out there. I don't think the Giants are going to make a move unless something happens in the WR group as far as injury, but other than Houshmanzadeh and the previously mentioned Cotchery, here are some other guys that are available:

     

    Terrell Owens ( :blink: )

    Brian Finneran

    Mike Furrey

    Brandon Stokley

    Greg Lewis

    Ruvell Martin

    Hank Baskett

    Brian Clark

    Kevin Curtis

     

    all eagle castoffs....enjoy our sloppy seconds ralph

     

    :freaked:

  5. My link

     

     

     

    Now limping off. Holding left hammy. That didn't look good

     

     

    Didn't see Ross after practice. Told he was carted off

     

    TC on 31' hammy: "Poor kid can't get past that." Indicated the orig inj not as bad as Canty's but don't know yet about latest tweak

     

    CB Aaron Ross on his hamstring injury: "It felt like someone shot me. It was cramping in three different places

     

    And Ross on his timetable for returning to the field: "Hopefully, it won™t take more than 18 days. The first game is in 19 days.
  6. Bill Parcells "you can't coach big and fast" ......"you are what the standings say you are"

     

    true wisdom from the "Man in the Mirror"

     

    He went to Dallas because the Giants sent him packing....I have it on good knowledge he did not quit but was told quit or be fired. He probably wanted revenge....look where he went Dallas and the Jets.....definite shots across the Giants bow

     

    The basis for that I do not care to get into....too controversial

     

    everyone who was paying attention knows that parcells and fassel were poking each other and the maras didn't approve.

     

    there.....i said it.

  7. a reach? the eagles move up two spots for their 6th rounder.....almost every draft expert and analyst had him as a top 10 draft prospect overall. rumor was that the giants were poised to trade up with detroit to nab him. Link

     

    personally, i'd take a team full of receivers of desean jackson's caliber. the guy is a stud.

  8. eagles lost two starters on offense....runyan and thomas

     

    replaced them peters and stacey andrews-upgrade

     

    eagles lost one starter on defense....brian dawkins. although he was the heart and soul of that team, he was sometimes a liability in coverage and they got a lot younger and faster with demps and sean jones at the position. plus the eagles think very highly of mikell.....enough that he could easily replace dawkins at fs if jones or demps don't work out there. jones is a natural ss who has 14 picks in the past three seasons.

     

    the eagles replace greg lewis' position with maclin and buckhalter's with lesean mccoy.

     

    they also added leonard weaver at fb

     

    plus they get back a healthy shawn andrews along the offensive line.

     

    i think they made significant upgrades.

  9. Give me a fucking break, that's weak. Here's the stats for the game we won at the jail, I mean Linc.

     

    Burress's line, 1 rec, 17 yards, 1 TD.

     

    We scored 36 points, so you do the math.

     

    c'mon booyah you're better than that.....even though burress didn't dominate the stat line you know his mere presence on the field had to be accounted for.

     

    burress had historically killed the eagles every time he faced them so the entire defense was focused on shutting him down. do you think it was a mere coincidence that the entire giants team struggled when he went down? whether the giants ran or passed, burress had to be accounted for each play. he opened up the entire offense for everyone.
