Eagle worries

I can't wait to see Owens blow up when McNabb hits him in the knees or overthrows him by a mile.

I was thinking the same thing I want to see TO's face when he's wide open and McNabb throw's one of his patent dart's straight into the turf, be careful what you wish for you just might get it.

I want to see him going over the middle and having Sean Taylor (please draft him Joe!) tattoo his facemask pattern on TO's ribs!

Maske at the post seems to be worried about the iggles...

Rightly so. Had the Eagles failed to obtain a legitimate receiving threat, they possibly could have fallen behind the Cowboys and Redskins in the NFC East power struggle, given Joe Gibbs return to the Redskins and the Skins' various acquisitions, the Cowboys entering their second year under Parcells, and the Eagles losing several key players-- especially in their secondary.

Kearse was a big pickup for them-- crucial, considering the weakening of their secondary with the losses of Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor. But if the Eagles hadn't dramatically improved their receiving corps, it would be easy to say they had taken a step back as a team. TO changes all of that, and lends a dynamicism to their offense that hasn't existed under Andy Reid's stewardship. If Kearse stays healthy and TO just shuts up and plays, the Eagles could be very scary next season.

True, but I don't understand why the Eagles gave TO a new contract. I understand that they want to win now because they believe their window of opportunity is closing, but I don't think it would be a good idea to keep TO for more than 2 years. He's getting old, he's a whiner, and he's not nearly as good as people say he is. So, I don't understand why they didn't just keep Owens for two more years, cut him, and not take a cap hit.

He never did invoke the clause of his contract allowing him to void the final years of his deal.

In any event, the Eagles are going to be VERY scary and their secondary has not degraded as much as people think. They've got some good young guys in their secondary to go along with Brian Dawkins. If their secondary stays healthy, they will be quite good.

I don't think that the Eagles D is going to be very good this season. Even when they were healthy, they could'nt stop the run. Then they pony up for a guy who doesn't play the run, and lose carlos emmons.
and this with Gibss and Parcells in the division.

joehardee · 03-17-2004, 03:44 PM

The best safety is Roy Williams.......

Gmanc711 · 03-18-2004, 11:53 AM

When you compare postions between us and Eagles, I think right now QB, Saftey and Dline are the only places they have better players than us.

Daseal · 03-18-2004, 08:52 PM

Receiver is questionable.
Their young TE is quite good, can't remember his name right off.
Qb? McNabb is good but for a passer give me Ramsey anyday!

Scott · 03-18-2004, 09:10 PM

the young TE is L J Smith, but he isnt that great from what I have seen, granted he was a rookie last year but he dropped quite a few balls.

Daseal · 03-18-2004, 09:36 PM

And we have Rasby and Royal =p

I think LJ Smith has a lot of talent (I think Royal does too really)

The Eagles have improved themselves dramatically! The addition of TO alone creates problems for an opposing defense.They lost a pair of corners and a linebacker, but they have Kearse and run a scheme that can fill the gaps. I agree with Matty, the NFC East is going to be the new black and blue division of the NFL.

backrow · 03-19-2004, 06:08 PM

NFC B-EAST! That's what it is now! Yeah, Black & Blue & Bloody!
I have come off of my 8-8 prediction now after all of our signings. Either 8-8, or 9-7 depending on who we get in the Draft. HOF Coach Gibbs is certainly getting the guys he wants to turn it around. Can we say 3-4 "D" with the CB's blitzing in from the corners?

skins009 · 03-19-2004, 06:49 PM

The difference between the eagles and SKins is that they know how to manage the cap. In three years our team is gonna have to almost be completely revaped, where the eagles will have plenty of leway. Can we get a GM please.
