Where Can We Get More of These Guys?

Print"I love the Eagles," Cole said after one of yesterday's minicamp practices. "I like playing for the Eagles. I'm going to keep playing and let the process take its course. I signed a contract with them, and I'm happy with my contract. People don't make decisions for you. You make your own decision. When I signed my contract, I signed my contract."
Patterson said he was playing through some injuries when he signed his deal.
"It is a tough decision, but this league, it doesn't last forever," he said. "You're not in the game for a long time, and it depends on how you look at it. I got hurt that year, so a lot of things went through my mind. I felt real thankful and I still feel real thankful about it."
Quintin Mikell also quoted in the article. But after all this stuff from guys like Sheldon and Lito, even Westbrook, its nice to hear that some of the players are satisfied, even happy with the millions they are already making. Whether or not they deserve raises, they seem to understand how lucky they are and how the Eagles stepped out on the line for them too. Hopefully they never forget that.
But how do we get some more guys like this?

Good point...
Its nice to see guys who want to honor their contracts and play up to their own choices. Nobody forced any of these guys to sign those deals. I mean of course every man wants to be compensated according to what he believes he is worth. And seeing that these guys careers are on the line every play, part of me can’t blame them for doing what they can to make all the money they can. Its just the way they choose to go about it. Instead of being gentlemen, they behave like spoiled little kids.

that’s okay. i’ll take guys who don’t sit out an entire year and then tweak their hammy their first ten minutes of post draft camp the following season over those that do…

What is JITBA even talking about? I thought this was about contract disputes or non-disputes?

happy with their role? players with talent? what did you just read? This article talks about guys that perform very well for us and understand that they signed a contract and intend on honoring it.
I’m not really sure what that has to do with anything you wrote…..

Trent and Mike Patterson are role players? Cole is our best, Pro Bowl pass rusher and Mike Patterson in our best run stuffer. Because of Mike, we are able to get to the quarterback better because he takes up usually two men and is great at stopping the run. really JIBTA, sometime i wonder bout you. okay, i always wonder bout you. Jack tweaking his hammy still upset you?
knowshon... Knowshon... KNOWSHON!!!!
trent
hes good hes not a perenial probowler .. hes a situational pass rusher with great speed and ability to get to the qb ,.. hes no osi

Id take TO back in a second

fool...
what does that have to do with anything? I understand that someone commented that you would likely take TO back….but you completely missed the point here.
No one says anything about production. No one says anything about non-production vs willingness to honor a contract….so what are you talking about??

its like when you ask someone “whats up?”
and they reply with “good, you?”
they just really werent listening and replied to a question they wanted to reply to.

my 4 year old nephew does that … I explained it to him and now I think the prick just does it to annoy me.

so by that logic
JIBTA is a four year old prick…
I’m okay with that
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
sadly enough
he is too

I'll take winning players
that are willing to take the pay they get and win over a bunch of players that want more money but maybe are more skilled. It’s called building a TEAM rather than a bunch of players that are there to make money.
Let's get it.

yall need to chill bout JIBTA and get of his case
He is still suffering from his depression over Jack getting hurt in his first minicamp with the Eagles. JIBTA is just relieving some tension. Let him mutter his stuff and don’t jump down his throat please. He is just suffering the common symptoms.
knowshon... Knowshon... KNOWSHON!!!!
haha……BUUUUUUUUTTTTTT
i think it may be time to change your signature. sorry man….but i dont think i can be ok with another bronco taking up space in eagles land.
