"can't see too much of an uproar over dude holding a clipboard"
um, except every game on the road will be a relentless hatefest with the p.a. system blaring who let the dogs out all night long. i'm guessing the field will either be littered with milkbone biscuits or dog collars. what does that do to morale team-wise?
(espn was saying this morning that they should put mcnabb AND vick on the field at the same time just to scare the shit out of people.)

from Peter King
And one league source just told me something that surprised me. “Nnamdi wanted to play in Philadelphia,” the source said. More than New York, where Rex Ryan was planning to make Asomugha and Revis his defensive centerpieces? Yes, the source said.The contract is stunning — just $12 million a year for a player who made $28 million over the last two years and was the hottest player on the free agent market. So the source appears to be spot on: Clearly Asomugha would have been offered more by at least one other team. The $12 million annual figure is what the Panthers paid defensive end Charles Johnson this week. Clearly there was something enticing about this Eagles bid, possibly the ability to go to a team with the chance to win the Super Bowl from the NFC.

When did Asomugha all of a sudden become talked about like he was the best player in the NFL? I'd never even heard of him until he hit the free agent market.

of course ... at least part of the reason why ballplayers sign with the Yankees (OK, the fat paycheck is more important ... but both make that team's/city's asshole fans more tolerable).

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.

didn't the eagles ever pay attention to the redskins, they're just 3 hours south on 95
― (╯°□°)╯︵ mode squad) (dayo), Sunday, 2 October 2011 20:52 (twelve years ago) link
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)
― Mordy, Sunday, 2 October 2011 20:57 (twelve years ago) link
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

― (╯°□°)╯︵ 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
