New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw admits having cracked bone in foot.

Is this the game Reid breaks out the Wildcat? - NFC East - ESPN
Truth be told, I'm a little embarrassed the Beast made at least three trips to Philly to document the Michael Vick-Wildcat experiment. Now that we're six games into the Eagles season, it's tough determine why the organization went to so much trouble to sign the former Pro Bowler and convicted dog fighter.

Birds' Brown Says Blitz Should Slow Down Smith
"Smith – ever since he came into the league, he’s always done well," safety Quintin Mikell said. "He’s getting a bigger piece of the offense now, and he’s looking really good. Manningham – he’s coming along well. He’s had a couple of drops here and there, but he’s still very dangerous. Their whole receiving corps is dangerous. We’ve got our work cut out for us in the back end."

Les Bowen: Eagles rookie McCoy needs to show up vs. Giants | Philadelphia Daily News | 10/30/2009
EVERYWHERE you saw LeSean McCoy yesterday, you saw running-backs coach Ted Williams - Velcroed to the rookie's side, explaining and advising on the way to the NovaCare cafeteria, going over something one more time during a break in practice.

Paul Domowitch: Witherspoon seems to be real deal for Eagles | Philadelphia Daily News | 10/30/2009
AS TRADE heists go, it's not quite on the same level as the Phils' August theft of Cliff Lee from the Cleveland Indians. But if the Eagles make it to the playoffs again this year, we may look back on last week's acquisition of linebacker Will Witherspoon as The Deal That Saved The Season.

Even if McCoy is ready to step up, which I know he is – Reid still has to run the ball. I want to see better, more effective play calling in this game. You would think that Reid would be prepared to do that considering they are a division rival we play at least twice a year, he knows their strengths and weaknesses better than anyone. I want to see quality running from our backs whether its McCoy, Buckley, Weaver and even Hill if he makes it on the field.

And I agree… Vick has been a non-issue

The Giants fan are actually wanting Bradshaw to play and possibly break the bone in his foot. They think it would be worth it and he would be back in time for the end of the season. They would rather have their RB sacrifice possibly the rest of the season to beat us and we’re the BAD fans…

wow thats pretty selfish. But I think at the end of the day the decision has to be up to Bradshaw and the trainers. If he doesn’t play he will be considered “the player that can play through the pain”. Unfortunately its a lose lose for him.

No way you sacrifice a player within the division like that—the way these games get ugly so quickly, he could break more than just his foot. Same goes with Westbrook; I’m not willing to sacrifice his entire season for one stinking game against the Giants.

Odd

I was not aware a few posters indicate the whole fanbase. It would be like my assuming all Eagle fans cheered Irvin lying motionless on the ground, or all Eagle fans wanted to beat up Santa Claus. Generalizing is bad my man.

Except that people do generalize all Eagles fans based on those occurrences.

THe only person any of us can control the thinking of

is ourselves. I choose to not generalize… you seemed to earlier. You seem better than that… don’t give in! Fight the temptation to generalize!
