    i was thinking of saying "other than mike mayock" but he's more of a draft guy than the league itself. baldy schools that jamie dukes fraud every single time they have one of those stupid head to head segments.

    i wonder why fox didn't renew baldinger's contract a couple years ago. he's a solid game analyst too.

    don't tell anyone. I keep him locked up and he gives me insight on who to bet on

    I'm telling you, check out baldinger's pinky...it looks like a penis

    Philadelpha Eagles
    Crucial influx: The pick of Nate Allen surprised a lot of people -- not because he's not a good player, but because it officially nailed Taylor Mays' draft stock shut. Now, the Eagles might wish they had both of them. Allen's performance will be crucial from the get-go because of the injury to Marlin Jackson, who would have been an easy convert to safety. The other obvious influx for the Eagles is in the pass-rush, where Brandon Graham should pay immediate dividends and will surprise a lot of people with his effectiveness against the rush. He uses his leverage extremely well. Keep an eye on Ricky Sapp as well. Sapp has pass-rush skills and speed that would have landed him very close to the first round if he wasn't considered a finesse guy against the run. But if it's about getting to the QB, he could be a steal who grows into something more. Frankly, the way the Eagles stockpiled mid-round picks, it's almost a certainty that a couple sleepers come out of their draft.



    The question mark: I had listed center and guard as needs for the Eagles, needs that they never addressed in the draft. In fact, almost amazingly, they had 13 picks and never took an offensive lineman. That's hard to do. Obviously this is a team that rightfully feels pretty good about what they have up front, but I thought they could have looked for a small upgrade along the interior.

    Next April's pick, now: Jared Crick, DT, Nebraska
    A lighter defensive tackle, Crick could be a versatile guy along the front in the Eagles' 3-4 scheme.

    they use it in certain situations but not all the time.


    if graham and especially allen play well, this team's winning 10 games

    I've never seen this team play a 3-4. If anything, I've seen them put more LB's up on the line.

    yeah, I think that's a typo.

    jeags, I think 10 wins is pretty unreasonable. the o-line is a huge question mark and the defense is really young. who is the 2nd corner? ellis hobbs? yikes.

    call me crazy, but I think demps wins the job over allen

    Ugh. Demps blows.

    8 wins is a solid expectation.

    well if demps wins the job over allen, they'll have problems. if hobbs is healthy, big if, he can be serviceable (him and samuel both started on the 6-0 pats a few yrs ago). they just dont have anyone back there that can hit.

    but if graham can get to the qb, like a lot of people think he can, it will take the double team off cole and take a lot of pressure off the secondary.

    7-10 wins. 10 if a lot of things fall in place...such as the top two picks giving you a lot of production in year one.

    demps was bad his rookie year (esp the NFC title game, but the entire defense sucked that day), but I still think he can play. I like the fact that he brings some swagger...he's a cocky mf'er. I think they need some of that on defense...especially in the secondary. everything I've read about allen says he's a ball hawk, but isn't a hitter. tough for a rookie to play that position with the birds scheme. should be interesting

    hopefully macho can help at corner. I'd love to see him win the nickleback job and eventually take over as the 2nd corner. I think this can happen, he's much better suited to play CB than safety

    big difference between 7 and 10 wins in the NFL. I will be shocked if this team wins 10. I think 7-9 wins is most likely. O/U is 8...if I had to bet I'd take the under (for the record I'd never bet against the birds)

    should be an exciting year...love the direction this team is headed in

    i say 7 - 10 only because i think there is the potential for this team to exceed expectations if the pieces fall into place on defense...but there's so many questions there, and even with kolb, that it won't shock me if they only win 7. i realize its a big gap though---but thats part of the reason why this season is so intriguing to me. you don't really know what to expect.

    all i can tell you is that i cannot wait for september. fucking 100 degrees this weekend and the phils are in the pooper right now. i am ready for a chill in the air, college games on saturday.....starting off my sundays with a bloody mary or two...checking the lines, setting my fantasy lineups and either hitting up the tailgate scene or plopping on my couch for 10 hours watching non stop football.

    3 days till camp---bring it!
