While he is obviously past his prime, I wouldn't mind him as a band-aid until next year. That said, no way Cincy trades him.Quote:

Panther's pick up two Auburn players (besides Cam Newton) and a CB from UNC so far. It's like they're trying to intentionally piss me off.
Edit: As if they weren't doing a good enough job of that already.

Hoping the front office doesn't royally screw this short pre-season!
Between Rice and Gallery, this was a good day for us. After reading/listening to a bit more about Tarvaris I'm not quite as down on him as I was. Not that I necessarily expect great things out of him, but it does seem like he got a bit of a raw deal in Minn.
It's still hard to see Hass gone, but the facts that he didn't sign in the division and will be a good mentor for Locker make it easier.
How can the Jets entertain the idea of getting Nnamdi Asomugha? I thought they had cap troubles in getting their receivers? Isn't that why Sanchez was talking about restructuring his contract?
Also will I go to hell if I root against Tebow?
glad chiefs picked up breaston
Cardinals give up huge bounty to acquire Kolb | ProFootballTalk
Looks to make the Texans the most likely spot for Nmandi Asousiusohgoighoifjf... (yep, i nailed that one)
Kolb might turn out to be as good as people think, but I'm sure glad we didn't try to outbid them for him.
Wow... Ochocinco is headed to New England | ProFootballTalk
and Bears trade Greg Olsen to Panthers | ProFootballTalk
But Chad to the Pats... pretty sick.
Think the Eagles got a good deal, 25-year-old former Pro Bowl corner + 2nd round pick is pretty sweet.
plus it looks likely that the Eagles will go after Vince Young. That's a relief, because I think I would actually panic if the Eagles didn't have a black QB.
close the afc boys pats have it this year
If they get a QB.
Vince Young will sign with Eagles | ProFootballTalk shipped.Quote:

He basically became the whipping boy for angry Browns fans last year.

Hmm well, I guess that's fairly encouraging.
nnamdi asomugha is a philadelphia eagle.
WTF.
Ship the Lombardi Trophy now.
Thanks DropTheBanana.
@fauxjohnmadden: NFL Network's Albert Breer reporting the Jets are out of the Nnamdi Asomugha sweepstakes. I'm guessing Rex Ryan didn't like his feet.
YES NOT ON THE JETS!Quote:

Nnamdi -- killer move, totally did not see this coming after they got Rodgers-Cromartie. Assumed Kolb trade would be THE big move of the offseason.
Key point: Eagles commonly refer to the third CB as a starting position. So I don't think a trade is necessarily in the works. They tried to make the 3 starting-caliber CBs work before, when they had Sheldon Brown, Lito Sheppard and signed Samuel. But Sheppard was unhappy and that gummed up the works. They also had 3 good corners for years with Troy Vincent, Bobby Taylor and Al Harris, who once led the NFL in pass deflections as a slot corner.
The Eagles use at least 5 DBs on about half their plays every year, sometimes in exotic ways -- 3 safety formations are not uncommon. As Nnamdi and DRC are good press corners, I could see them using those guys to lock up the wideouts and using Samuel as a roving DB/"Robber" type player. Samuel freelances a ton in coverage anyway, often switching receivers when he's got a read on the ball.
Still, the Eagles have their slot CB, Joselio Hanson, signed to a long-term, cap-friendly deal. He's not an impact player, but is good at what he does. They also have a corner they drafted last year, Trevard Lindley, that they supposedly like; plus they drafted a CB in the third round this year. Wouldn't mind seeing them flip DRC for an equivalent linebacker.
Jason Babin Was with the Eagles two years ago and didn't do much; had a huge year in Tennessee and is reunited with his line coach there, Jim Washburn.
Vince Young I like him more than Kolb for this team and this offense. If I had to choose one guy to build a team around for 5 years, I'd take Kolb. If I had to choose a guy to be a backup to Mike Vick and throw bombs to DeSean Jackson, it's VY. The Eagles know how to develop quarterbacks.
Right now, it looks like Casey Matthews is the starting MLB.
so if the eagles dont win the superbowl this year how quickly does philly call for the head of andy reid?
Much of the fan base has been calling for his head for several years now.
and now cullen jenkins is going to philadelphia.
Why'd the Texans cut Okoye? I think I'm hoping the Hawks take a look at him.
TOM BRADY
Eagles signed OL Evan Mathis, not a big-name by any means. But in reading about him, a lot of people tagged him as a super sleeper FA; one report said he made Bengals' OL instantly better last year.
That really shores up the Eagles' only real weakness on offense. LG Todd Herremans could move to RT, a likely improvement over Winston Justice, who is on PUP list right now. Also insurance in case first-round pick G Danny Watkins doesn't sign right away.
other than "bellicheat", there is no joking or whining in that post. He has some uncanny ability to get slackers like Haynesworth to play up to there potential.Quote:

yay mcnabb
randy moss retired etc
Tweet from new Eagles DT Cullen Jenkins, re: Dallas defensive coordinator Rob Ryan referring to them as the all-hype team:
One of the new Eagles apparently heard about Ryan's comments and responded. Here's a Tweet from Cullen Jenkins:
Talk is cheap. Let them talk. We are focused here and I could care less. We are worried about ourselves n getting better. He must be nervous
comment on philly.com:
It is so annoying when people say they "could care less." That means they care, at least a little. Say you "couldn't care less."
Stnd philly. Educated enough to know they're right when they're oh so wrong.Quote:

Well this seals it, looks like the Eagles have no chance.

We doing a survivor league again this year or not so much?
I'm game again... if we can come up with payment options. Would people be against sending physical checks to one person and that person sending it out. It's really no different than PS, etc. I'd be happy to hold the money if people are game, or ship to lee, or someone who is a long-time FTR member.
I would be up for a survivor league, but obviously online pay is off the table, and there is a 0% chance i'm sending a check to anybody
bragging rights are more important anyway, right?
No.Quote:
