So sad

One of my all time favorite players

You'll be missed B-West

Their careers go by so fast

I think the average career for a rb is like 4 seasons ?

Thats crazy

Because your asking him to be a role player not a starter. All i'm sayn is if he has anything left in the tank he'd fit are Off very good.

dude if they were going to do something like that, they would have asked b west to take a huge pay cut for the same thing....

He fought way to hard for that contract to just be like ok take it away from me so i can stay here. You remember all the bs between him and the front office.

i dont think there is any animosity there at all. they gave him a very lucrative deal for his age at the time.

we're better off finding a younger, bigger back to compliment mccoy or even picking one up in the 3rd or 4th round.

Any free agents we can bring in to take some of the load off Shady ?

Weaver still needs to be re-signed I know that

i haven't really looked at anything yet....weaver's a restricted free agent. so if the eagles lose him, then shame on them.

Here is a great interview with Westbrook from ESPN radio in Philly

The Fixer

Haven't posted in the eagles thread in a long time. I think the last time was in december...I vaguely remember getting into it with the jaegler about how mcnabb would never win in philly and they need to deal him (the details are fuzzy...booze is great).

Anyway, here is my wishlist to fix the mess that ended 2009 in disappointing fashion. I pretty much agree with The Jaegler's list of offseason needs.

1 - Draft and sign 2 CBs. The secondary was exposed in the final 2 games of the season. There were issues throughout the year due to injury, inexperience, and just shitty play in general (yeah, I'm looking at you Mikell). I think they should finally move Sheldon Brown to FS, where he belongs. The available FS's in this years' draft all bring questions marks, except for Eric Berry, who will be long gone by the time the eagles pick. There is no point in taking a safety in the first 2 rounds if they are not convinced that the player they take can start right away. I'd love to see them make a play for Danta Robinson, the unrestricted CB from Houston. He is already a top NFL corner and he is in his prime (I believe he's 27 years old). Use a top 3 round draft pick on another corner to add depth and they have rebuilt their secondary.

2010 starters...

CBs - Samuel, rookie/FA, with Hanson as the nickel guy...wouldn't kill them to draft 2 guys in the top 3 rounds since they have extra picks (like they did back in the sheppard, brown year).
FS - Brown
SS - Mikell (back where he belongs)

2 - Draft/sign a DE. I'd love edwards or peppers, but who knows how much they will command with the uncapped year. The Birds have been pretty shitty at drafting DEs, but this draft is supposed to be deep with defensive lineman. I'd like to see them use a high pick on a DE and sign a FA.

3 - Draft/sign a RB. Whoever said sign LT must not watch much NFL football. That dude was shot 2 years ago. And your 3rd RB needs to play special teams, which LT sure as hell won't do (or be effective doing). Weaver is versatile to play in a one or two back set, so they could get away with only adding one guy here and keeping buckley (who's really just a body on offense, but was solid on specials last year).

I wouldn't be shocked to see them sign chester taylor. Or leon washington, who is coming off of a nasty injury, but is a major threat on kickoffs if healthy.

4 - Bring in some O-line competition. The Andrews brothers need to have fires lit under their fat asses. As frustrating as those 2 are, the eagles have invested a lot of money in them and need them to contribute next year. The line was a mess once Jackson went down (and wasn't great before he went down -- see Oakland game). Can't win football games without a solid o-line. Whether it's thru the draft or FA, they need to add depth.

5 - Draft a LB. Need depth as bradley rehabs. I'd love to see the gocong era come to an end. That dude just flat out blows. If bradley is healthy (a big if), this unit could be OK with witherspoon, bradley, jordan...but they could use some depth.

6 - Draft a punter. I know it sounds crazy, but Rocca is just too inconsistent. Hopefully Danny Smith will have some influence and they will draft someone late (6th or 7th round). Morestead made a big difference on kickoffs for the saints...he was a guy they actually traded up for last year. Akers is getting old and could use a rest on kickoffs...rocca is too inconsistent. Bringing in a big leg to punt and kickoff would help out the STs.

Eagles have 6 picks in the first 4 rounds...I hope they take 2 DBs, a DE, a RB, an OL and a LB with those 6 early round picks (then the punter pick in the 6th or 7th).

As for the QB situation. Obviously they need to trade vick in the next 2 weeks before his roster bonus kicks in. No point in keeping a guy who is more hype than talent...especially when they have 2 QBs that are better. I'd love to see them trade mcnabb (I don't expect them to get more than a 2 and lower level or extra pick in 2011 or beyond -- but who knows with reid. he's the guy that turned AJ Feeley into a 2nd rounder). I think mcnabb is the QB in 2010. This means another year without the SB, but who knows what they have in kolb (the guy that has played 2.5 games in his NFL career). I'd love to see them turn the team over to kolb, but I think reid will do that when the time is right.

If nothing else it should be an exciting offseason...they hit on a few draft picks and signings and they will be primed for another SB run.

And your 3rd RB needs to play special teams, which LT sure as hell won't do (or be effective doing).

Well that would be me and i'm pretty sure i watch more football then 99% on the US population. Yes LT isn't what u used to be at all. But if u go look at the SD Chargers last year they couldn't run the ball to save there life period. Darren Sproles had a shit year running the ball as well. 93carries 343yds and 3 td's for a 3.7ypc. LT 223 carries 730yds and 12td's. So if me(the guy who dosen't watch football) knows that sd offensive line sucked all year running the ball maybe u should then as well. Weaver is a full back,yes he can do spot duty very well as a rb but he is a full back. So Lt would be your #2 thus your correct your #3 should be on special teams. Elderly Buckley can stay on special teams and contribute there instead of getting stuffed almost every time he touched the ball. The Eagles have always been a team that has a hard time getting the short hard,LT is still very effective at being a short yardage back hence his 12 Rushing TD's. If the price is right and LT excepts his role as a back up let me say it again

---

He would be a perfect fit here getting short yards blocking and catching the ball out the backfield. And if u don't see that U MUST NOT WATCH OR UNDERSTAND FOOTBALL. :shock: :shock:

1,6,10,3,20,1,1,3,4,1,1,1 I'd say he's still a damn good goal line back. The guy even when he had his worst nfl season still owned the endzone inside the 6.

embrace

I don't follow this thread so much but I needed a place to say...I'm fucking sad BW is gone- he got me excited about Eagles football.
