if they end up byrd, i will be fucking ecstatic.....only a little more than an hour away
I wouldn't be shocked if we end up with 2 safeties today. This Revis rumor is crazy. Not sure if I'd want so a meeee guy back there at the price he's want.

i don't buy the revis rumor. he will want too much.......what if ware gets cut? do you try and sign him to a 1 or 2 year deal?
and i am fine with having nate allen and earl wolf plus whoever we draft to battle it out in training camp.
Signed Malcom Jenkins 3yr deal for 16. He's a free safety and is the same spot Byrd plays. Not sure i'm liking this already. It's early still but not the FS I wanted.
Go Birds!!!!

he was not my top choice either, but fits in well with what they are doing and still leaves them with lots of cap space. very versatile. gonna wait and see how everything else shakes out...but he's a nice upgrade over chung. i respect tommy lawler's opinion and jenkins was the guy he wanted most:
Could be a great fit for the Eagles. Jenkins won’t command mega-bucks. He is a good player and has the size and versatility that I think will attract Chip Kelly and Bill Davis.
Jenkins was used all over the field by the Saints. He played centerfield, in the box, in the slot and even some outside CB. You have to love the fact you can put him in these roles and he’s talented enough to get the job done. The downside…there is nothing great about Jenkins. He lacks the pop of TJ Ward as a hitter. He lacks the ball skills of Jairus Byrd.
Jenkins is a solid hitter and tackler. He’s aggressive and will hit runners/receivers. He takes good angles to the ball. Jenkins looks comfortable playing in traffic or out in space. There were a couple of plays where he made tackles downfield that prevented TDs. This is the most under-appreciated role a Safety plays. Even if you get the guy down at the 1-yard line, make the offense earn the TD.
In the first Carolina game, Jenkins lined up at CB on a play inside the 10-yard line. He pressed and did a solid job. He regularly played in the slot. Eagles coaches could really value that. Brandon Boykin didn’t have a true backup last year. No one was a good slot guy other than him. That’s why you saw Patrick Chung forced into action there a couple of times.
Jenkins is a good leader. The Saints developed a pair of young Safeties last year. That makes him expendable, but you can bet he helped those players develop. The Eagles have 2nd year players in Earl Wolff and Keelan Johnson. They are basically a lock to draft at least one Safety this spring. Jenkins could help bring those players along. Jenkins played on good teams in New Orleans and back at Ohio State. I think he would fit in well with Kelly and the program he’s developing in Philly.
I like all 3 signings so far. If you are giving a guy 9 million per year, he needs to be a future hall of famer. Byrd is the highest paid safety ever until Thomas signs. Byrd was not worth it.
Alright, alright, alright!

mccoy sproles ertz celek cooper maclin jackson + draft pick
to ago along with one of the best o lines in football........wow. foles' numbers are going to be worse than last year, but he has every opportunity imaginable to prove he is the franchise guy next year.
if you have an elite offense, the defense just has to be solid and vice versa. i really like what this team is doing.

plus it looks like howie swooped in and stole him from the skins. all i was hearing was that the redskins were close to pulling off this trade. good stuff.
Aw, man. Back to being super obnoxious-asshole fans. I love it. Me and the boys are gearing up for a return to an away trip - thinking San Fran, Green Bay, or AZ.

We did GB a few years back. Favre's last year w GB. Was first game of season. I know it's cliche, but it's true...you gotta get to Lambeau.

I remember that game. Believe that was '07? It was between there and New Orleans - we went with the latter. But, yeah, that's what I'm sayin, Lambeau is one of those places. But if it's just about the field then I can do that at any age. I'm thinking SF or AZ while my body's still young and can get into regrettable trouble.

You guys have talked about basically every active NFL player over the past 2 pages. Rumor has it the Eagles are getting Brady to back up Foles.
and i am fine with having nate allen and earl wolf plus whoever we draft to battle it out in training camp.

Sproles ranked 24th of 27 punt returners last year [6.7 yards per return] and 29th of 31 kick returners [21.3 per return].
