Die Eagles Die - All Things Eagles Thread

Just a question, not condoning a trade. You don't think Samuel is better than Newman, Jenkins, or Scandrick?

Better than Scandrick? Yeah

Better than Newman or Jenkins, no. And Jenkins has way more upside than Samuel at this point in their careers.

 

[dbair1967]

This is where you play it off like he's not any good because he's on the Eagles.

He makes alot of plays, but he gives up a ton too, and he's a putrid tackler. Probably the worst tackling CB in football.

I wouldnt want him here.

 

[dbair1967]

Why would you not?

DUDE MAKES PLAYS.

Dude gives up tons of plays too, thats why the Eagles just got two guys who play the same position he does. To replace him.

 

[Theebs]

he is better than jenkins.

He has the same problem as newman though he is always hurt and seems like he rarely practices.

 

[lons]

Newman just blew out his groin ... again.

Sure you guys don't want Asante now?

 

[Bonecrusher#31]

He's better in zone coverage than all three, but he's not better in ma coverage than Newman or Jenkins.

Thank you..

He's a pure zone cb...His nickname is toast when in man coverage.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Not in man coverage he isn't. Now he was better than Jenkins and Newman last year, because both stunk it up.

Eagles Mike Patterson has Brain AVM

Sal Paolantonio of ESPN via Adam Schefter reports Eagles defensive tackle Mike Patterson has brain AVM (arteriovenous malformation), a tangle of blood vessels in skull. It requires surgery or radiation.

Anyone ever hear of that before?

Doesn't sound good.

The Eagles won't make the playoffs in 2011.

I guarantee it.

They're going into the season with a lot of hype, and a lot of expectations. But they'll crash and burn.

Bookmark this... bitches.

I like almost everything about them except QB.

Vick is soft, retarded, and an injury risk.

he has herpes too.

but they are still going to make the playoffs.

I don't like their defense. They're loaded in the back four, but I don't think the front seven scares anyone.

I don't like their QB. I don't think he can duplicate last season - where he went in with virtually no pressure and took the league by storm. And I question his durability.

I don't like their offensive line. And I think that'll play a roll in Vick having to scramble too much and lead to injury.

I don't like the lack of experience their defensive coordinator has. I think he'll get out coached, out schemed by seasoned offensive coordinators.

I don't like how their top two receivers are missing time in camp - one to mono, the other to a still unresolved hold out. I especially think the lack of off season work will lead to Jackson dealing with pulled muscles for some of the year, comprimising his only real assett - his speed. And at 160lbs, he's always a candidate to miss time due to a big hit.

I don't like the whole concept of throwing pieces together who excelled in different cities, with different schemes, and expecting them to gel immediately. Chemistry is key in the NFL.

I love how we match up against them - specifically our moving pieces defense against a non-cerebrial QB.

And I love how they've declared themselves the dream team. I love all the media hype. I love that they're going to have this ridiculous amount of pressure on them from jump street.

All in all... I think it's a recipe for disaster. Not 5-11 disaster. Rather, an 8-8/9-7 disaster considering all the hype.

 

[superpunk]

I think they'll make it. And I disagree that we match up well against them, at least our O versus their D. Unless our running game significantly improves, our strengths and weaknesses match up.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

None of those DB's are physical and at least 2 of them are horrific tacklers......like as bad as it gets.

Dez.

 

[superpunk]

yeah but it's kind of like the Seattle playoff game - terrible corners, but because they knew JJRobot and Co. weren't going to gash them they could just sit back and play coverage all day.

Unless even that can't stop the Dez...

 

[Midswat]

Only death could stop Dez Freakin Bryant.

 

[Cr122]

This is "The Dream Team" they're going to the Super Bowl.

I do hope it all comes crashing down though.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

What if the name of the hurricane, was hurricane Dez?

 

[Midswat]

DE Victor Abiarimi ruptured his Achilles. Had 4 sacks for them playing in a rotation.
