Those aged lombardi trophies don't matter in today's game or in any future game sure they're nice to look at but other than that they're good for nothing other than flashbacks and those players who won them are all gone, not one remains which makes them increasingly irrelevant.

You could go to any Gold's Gym and find a muscle man. That doesn't mean you'll find a football player.

This I know, I just like to gawk at his body.

The NFC East sucks all of a sudden. How did we go from being the premier division in football to being this bad so fast? Jeez.

Go_Eagles77 · 09-20-2010, 08:44 AM

I don't know but I'm enjoying it. :)

bigbluedefense · 09-20-2010, 10:35 AM

What sucks for all of us is, because all 4 teams have oline issues (who wouldve thought that the Skins have the best oline in the division?), it's going to be even harder to get players in the draft and in FA to plug in those holes, because you're competing with all 4 teams in your division for the same players.

So this is a year I think where each team is going to have to out duel the other in draft day trades to get the players they want.

...which could very well end up being exacerbated by this being a comparatively weak OL class. Jared Gaither changing teams regardless of where he goes is something that NFC East fans should be rooting for since it will lessen one of the teams looking to spend a high pick on an OL's need to spend that pick on an OL.

Much deserved. But I have a feeling McNabb will let down eventually like he always does.

critesy · 10-04-2010, 12:13 AM

and i sadfully agree. hoping change in scenery is all he needed though. but right now, i am a happy man.

Go_Eagles77 · 10-04-2010, 07:45 AM

I know this is gonna sound bitter, but it's not like McNabb played all that well yesterday. Under 50% completion and threw plenty of worm-burners. I'm glad the eagles got Nate Allen out of the deal because while Kolb sucks (he became captain check-down when the eagles anointed him the starter), I would honestly rather have Vick at QB than McNabb right now. I'm really hoping the injury isn't as serious as I first thought.

scottyboy · 10-04-2010, 10:52 AM

but we've known from his entire career Vick is injury prone, especially the way he runs. Granted, I LOVE Vick on the field. so fun to watch, great weapon etc, but one of his biggest weaknesses is being injury prone. plus this is his first real action in QUITE some time, so we'll see how he is and how long he can hold up.

Go_Eagles77 · 10-04-2010, 10:54 AM

True, but McNabb was always injury prone as well, he almost never plays for all 16 games in a season, and very often misses a good portion of the season as well.

this is true, I can safely say I have no idea where Iwas going with that post haha. ugh, i'm out of it, it's been a long morning. But as bad as the NFC east teams have looked, it's still going to be a battle and an all out grind.

bigbluedefense · 10-04-2010, 10:59 AM

Nate Allen is looking studly.

I haven't seen Brandon Graham do a thing out there yet. To be fair, I haven't focused on him as much as I should, but from a glance, he seems pretty quiet.

Ernie Simms is a frustrating player. You see flashes of great play, but way too inconsistent. The guy should be a PBer with that athleticism, but he just can't put it together.

OOOOOO I KNOW! I KNOW! PICK ME! PICK ME PLEASE!

Putting him at DT is ********.

Yeah that's ********.

Has he seen any snaps at LE in the base defense or is just coming in on 3rd downs to rush from the DT spot?

DiG · 10-04-2010, 11:26 AM

graham did shed a block very nicely early in the game and make an open tackle on a cooley screen that otherwise would have easily been a big gain.

He starts at LE. He hasn't done as well as I expected, but it's tough to come in as a DE who's not just expected to be a pass-rusher. Still, leave him outside.

D-Unit · 10-04-2010, 11:52 AM

I really wanted to see Graham play OLB in a 3-4 system. I thought that was his best role in the NFL. In the 4-3, he's a bit undersized. He's got the heart of a warrior, so maybe he'll eventually adapt... it's still way to early to tell either way. But I wouldn't be surprised if his career took off in a similar way to Elvis Dumervil (once he started playing in a 3-4 system).

Go_Eagles77 · 10-04-2010, 12:59 PM

He may be a tad shorter than your average DE, but the guy really isn't undersized. He's upwards of 270 right now, definitely bulkier than I thought. I'm afraid some of his weight might be bad weight as well.

bigbluedefense · 10-04-2010, 01:19 PM

He added the weight to hold up as a LE in a 4-3, which I think hurt his explosion a little bit.

He does look too thick to me right now. He's better at 260 max.

I think moving forward, it wouldn't be a crazy idea for the Eagles to switch to a 3-4 defense. Bunk can play NT, they have Cole and Graham, both of whom may actually be better fits in a 34 front, and Bradley can fill in one ILB spot.

They might need some 34 DEs and another ILB though. Simms doesn't fit the scheme, and I'm not sure if Patterson does either.

It can be done if they wanted to though.
