The Linc - Flight Night, Jeremy Maclin, & Romo's turnovers

Several Eagles feel high after Flight Night at Linc
"I had a blast coming out of the tunnel," said Weaver. "There's nothing like coming out and hearing 27,000 people screaming for you. It's just a great feeling that their support is the way it is."

Harvin Sets Table For Maclin Deal? | Philadelphia Daily News | 08/02/2009
Back when everybody on both sides was saying Jeremy Maclin ought to be signed before the start of training camp, agent Jim Steiner denied that he would need to see what other first-rounders were getting before he could reach an agreement. However, as the impasse has dragged on through a solid week of workouts (for rookies, anyway, three days for vets), that is exactly what front-office sources have felt was the holdup -- specifically,they've felt that Steiner was waiting for another wideout, Percy Harvin. taken 22nd overall by the Vikings, to agree to terms.

"I mean, they are. I would love to stay here. It'd be great, make my life a lot easier, but I'm not gonna say that's the only option because there are other options out there. Ultimately, it comes down to making some money and you gotta do what you gotta do."

just an interesting note about weaver...

i met him in april at one of their charity basketball games and he was just the nicest guy ever. i thanked him for his decision to sign with the eagles and all he did was thank me back for welcoming him. we went on about how much of a privilege it is to play for philadelphia and how he hopes to help the team out. i know he doesn’t make albert haynesworth money nor has the impact of tom brady, but i’ve never seen a football player as humble as he was. i don’t think we realize how lucky we are to have him on the team. if he thinks 27,000 cheering eagles fans are crazy, wait til that number is doubled. i can’t wait.

“I had a blast coming out of the tunnel,” said Weaver. “There’s nothing like coming out and hearing 27,000 people screaming for you. It’s just a great feeling that their support is the way it is.”

This coming from a player who just got here from Seattle, home of the 12th man and supposedly one of the olouder stadiums in the country. If he thinks that a Flight night was loud, he will be blown out of his shoes when he runs out during a regular season game. Especially if he can help us with out short yardage and red zone issues.

"If they end up 2-14 and both of those wins came against Dallas, that's a pretty good year."
