THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES...

i didn't realize how tall asomghua is. he's 6'2. i hope that doesnt disquade the eagles from going after him

they will have to overpay because apparently the jets are his first choice. but, good god, this will be cornerback tandem for the ages if we can get him.

I read this this morning too. all speculation. the birds are good at laying in the weeds with their FA signings. They don't let people know what their intentions are when going after guys (vick, kearse, samuel, etc...no one saw any of those moves coming, then BAM, you see on the tickers that the eagles have signed so and so -- so I'm not worried about who the 'favorites' are).

Asomugha would be sweet. and please, no more quentin mikell

this is different than samuel though. we signed samuel when lito and brown were both still on the team. nobody thought of corner as a need. i think everyone knows the birds will definitely be in the mix for him now considering patterson is their current starter there.

and if we don't get him, i'll take cromarte as a plan b. no doubt.

I just want to know which teams you're rooting for this week. Oregon's hoops arena is uglier than the chick in that pic...

do you really think cromartie blows? why?

sometimes i think you just disagree for the sake of disagreeing.

nah man. he is softer than samuel. I don't think you can have those two in the same secondary. your safeties would be hurt by week 4 because they'd have to make every tackle.

also, he isn't that good of a cover guy. garcon toasted him on saturday night. he couldn't even start for arizona last year...he was their nickle guy

no thanks, I'll pass on him

Phantom Pain · January 2011

I dont know how you can be "happy" with another first round playoff loss at HOME

A game in which we were favored in

It's sad but I expect the let down to happen every year

We may have been slated for a Down season or 8 wins but it's still ridiculous the way this team ended the season...very similar to the way it ended the year before on a losing streak

Edit: Also I would not over pay DJax...he has a tendency to disappear on the field. If they pay him as a deep threat guy thats fine but not True Number 1 cash

okay... i'm not saying he is in asomghua or sameuel's league. but i gotta disagree with your assesment completely. he's a decent cover corner (10 picks a couple years ago) and he's also 6'2 and plays more physical than any of our corner's right now. plus he's also only 26.........wait, arizona? who are you talking about? this guy played for the chargers his first few seasons before the jets traded for him :? :?

incidentally scouts inc has him as the 13th best corner in the league. here's their assesment:

Cromartie is five-year veteran who was acquired in a trade this offseason. He is an excellent athlete who was hindered by a hip injury for a good portion of the 2008 season but bounced back well in 2009. He has the size and speed to be a shut down CB in the league and can make plays on the ball like few other players in the league. He is very fluid through hips. He has exceptional recovery skills when healthy and he uses his long arms well to intercept or break up plays. He has enough size and strength to match up well with big and physical receivers, but he is also quick enough mirror routes of quick players. Cromartie is considered one of the leagues better cover corners and bolsters and already excellent Jets defense in 2010.

...maybe you were thinking of someone else?

edit: you're thinking of his cousin.

Some fans think this season was OK because we weren't supposed to do much anyway

I'm at the point where its expected that we have a bad ending

the eagles weren't that good this year. They lost to a better team last week.

I'm not happy about it, but this team had a successful year...exceeded my expectations.

reid has them pointed in the right direction...they aren't far from being back to SB contenders. just gotta fill in the obvious holes.

the people that want reid replaced are out of their minds. even though they were the team with less talent, he put them in a position to win the game last week. 2 akers shanks and vick not choking and we're all talking about the bears right now.

you have to be kidding.

Dude Cromartie is okay, but we don't need another gambling CB. We need more physicality. Too many soft players on D.

he's 6'2, 210. good size and speed. something we have been lacking for years. but again--not my first choice. just looking at options if we don't get the obvious guy.

point is, he doesn't blow. and he never played for the cardinals.

Rogers-Cromartie is a decent CB as well, whom I think you're talking about. Bobby Taylor was big too, and I wouldn't call him physical. Cromartie led the league in INT's the same way Samuel did - by taking risks. All I know is this D whiffed at tackles this year more than Ryan Howard has over his career.
