cap casualties:
weaver - 2.4mhanson - 870,000bunkley - 700,000parker - 3.5mtotal: 6.5m
only way asante is traded if roseman is wowed with a starter better than Justice or 1st rd. pick + LB. asante would free up 6.3m this season, 7.5m for 2012.

AdamSchefter Adam Schefter As if they needed the help, Eagles now have two 2s, two 4s, two 5s and two 6s in 2012 draft. Talk about a well-run organization.

1. Reid 2. Castillo 3. No LBs 4. No OL 5. Rookie kicker 6. Poor offensive schemes in redzone 7. Ronnie Brown thinks he's a QB 8. Poor game management 9. Terrible ball protection 10. No tackling to speak of...

didn't the eagles ever pay attention to the redskins, they're just 3 hours south on 95

It's hard for me to say whether these are the same problems the Eagles have always had (inability to finish games, stalled important drives, red zone issues, impatience w/ the running game) just writ super large or some kind of new problem. The defense is the worst I've ever seen it, at least since I started paying serious attention to the team in high school. The offense is incredibly talented, but somehow Reid has become even worse over the years at basic stuff, like drawing up intelligible plays or using players effectively. Maybe the problem is that Reid keeps leaning on these explosive offensive players (McNabb, Westbrook now Vick, Jackson) to pick up the slack from his -- apparently -- ineffective gamecalling. And Vick can't be a superstar every week (tho he is often the only bright spot in these games)

at the moment -- and obviously a lot can still happen over the season and they could theoretically still turn it around and even make the playoffs -- this feels like reid's last season in philadelphia

how long do we have these bright new stars under contract for
― (╯°□°)╯︵ mode squad) (dayo), Sunday, 2 October 2011 21:04 (twelve years ago) link
depends on the player. afaik jackson doesn't even have his new contract yet.
― Mordy, Sunday, 2 October 2011 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
this wide 9 defense is the worst piece of shit i've ever seen and that reid + castillo persist in using it is very telling about the quality of decision making coming down from the top.
― Mordy, Sunday, 2 October 2011 21:09 (twelve years ago) link
also, reid's constant bitching in the post game conference about how we can't blame the defense too much bc the offense didn't score enough was like complaining that michael vick wasn't magical enough this game to bail reid out. maybe the problem was the whole 12 run plays called (!!!!) + mccoy running 9 times for 18 yards, and not vick going 30-for-46 for 416 yards (a career high), two touchdowns and an interception

nervous about vickjuries, silly hopeful about philly qb of future foles, cautiously excited for new football! i think it'll be okay. they'll play better than last year. i'm pretty sure.

i didn't post anything on this thread but westbrook retiring as eagle moved me so much. i know it's routine for that kind of guy and i should've known it would happen, but i was still uncertain. i don't know why it matters to me but it does.
― Mordy, Saturday, 1 September 2012 03:55 (eleven years ago) link
same with dawkins! but yeah, westbrook was a special player and seemed like a good guy, i probably felt closer to him than any other eagle since i've been old enough to care other than maybe mcnabb obv. tra thomas did the same thing this summer too

As for Vick, Reid said he thought the quarterback was “rusty.” But at no point did he consider pulling Vick and going with rookie Nick Foles.“No, I thought he had to work through it,” Reid said. “He’s our quarterback, so you’ve got to do that. The game’s fast, and it picks up even off of the preseason. He didn’t have any preseason. It’s a fast game. This was an important game for him to get in and play and endure and toughen it out, which he did. That’s what you saw.”

today was rough, but i'm happy they won. defense looked as good as i'd hoped. offense troubling but idk. at least he didn't get injured.

The Eagles plan to lead the league in everything this year. First in yards, and in yards allowed. First in sacks, and sacks allowed. First in giveaways and takeaways. First in questions raised about their own quarterback, and about opposing quarterbacks. First in two-minute warnings (they have that one sewn up). The Eagles are so extreme that if they end up .500, it will be with a 16-16 record.
