What About Number #81??

I know I may be risking getting banned from BGN, but hear me out. I know we reacquired Hank Baskett (#81 for the colts) and I think it was a decent move. In Baskett, we get a big sized receiver that knows our system. But my mind occasionally races at the possibility of picking up "The Other #81" who has the size and also knows our system. Nobody here can doubt that our best season in recent memory came when we had ""The Other #81" catching McNabb's missiles. "The Other #81" had a better season thank Baskett last year, in my opinion is more of a threat than Baskett, and could fit back in as a 3rd or 4th wr. Just think of a receiving corps with Djax, Maclin, Avant, Celek and "The Other #81". I believe the time spent in Buffalo has humbled "The Other #81" so no need to worry about his Diva attitude, also the guy knows that his days as an NFL receiver are numbered, so he will want to get with and contribute to a team who has a great chance at winning a SB. What do you guys think??

Two words...
No Thanks.
We have enough WR already and the last thing I need is for him to come back with this “they’ve always needed me” or “of course they want me back” attitude.
Next…

I like TO hes still Beasting at 39.
Desean Jackson- Im Number 1, the real deal, The 1(0)ne to Watch.
Interview while at Cal.
Bring him back to be the third best (if we’re being kind) receiving option on the team? No thanks.
I am the people's troll :3™
If that was the only option he got
who knows if he would be humble enough to even take that offer, plus he’d be asking for WAY too much to be our 3rd

C'mon.....
He could be a back up to Avant or if (when) we get rid of Curtis he can serve as the 4th wr. I agree we may have enough WR’s, but aside from Avant, DJax, and Maclin how many of them can say they are “proven” Eagles recievers?? Chad Hall has potential I will give him that, but the guy hasnt played since 07, Jordan Norwood played last year and wasnt impressive and Dobson Collins?? (Who Dat?? No seriously…Who Dat??) I think we could benefit from “The Other #81” ’s veteran status as a RESPECTED (on the field) WR that still draws double coverage!!
he can serve as the 4th wr
Do you even read the words that are coming out of your keyboard? This is TO you’re talking about. Come on.

Does anyone else want to comment on this?

Cali is soft- sorry honestly not trying to attack you dday
We need some bad asses (Weaver, Stewy, Cole, Avant, Celek or old school Tra Jon and Dawk)
as much as I love what he does, Im tired West Coast (or southern) attitude (djack, Andrews bros, Assante)
Swagger is important but we need some assholes on the team, just bullies all around.
Fresh, Fresher, Freshest, Fresherest
100% agree
In all honesty swagger is the only thing i dont like about football. Instead of swagger, I want smash mouth football with no excessive celebrations. Good ole fashion football. Guys like chad lewis, who put in all they have and consider it just doing there job.

Located in Cali is a little town known as San Francisco.
Cali has absolutely no swagger.

There's only one "other #81" for me
And that’s Jason Avant. Owens had his chance in Philly. There’s no place here for him now, humbled or not.

No.
He won’t go somewhere to be a 3rd or 4th receiver. And he would be a 4th here. He still has value, but not to us. The Eagles don’t need him. I love our receiving corps.
Definitely not
And he wants AT LEAST 5 million dollars? Puh-leeze. Not a chance – we need to invest in other areas – our receivers (finally) are perfect the way they stand now.
TO can't be a #3 or 4 WR.
You’re #3/4/5 WR’s need to contribute with special teams in some way, shape, or form. TO will not and probably cannot do that.
There’s about a -95% chance that we bring him back.
Not gonna happen.
nuff said www.youtube.com/watch?v=93DDeB_NawU
I am better than a tree which is better than the xbox stealing jack whom is better than asante.
He wouldn't have to buy a house! From what I hear, he couldn't sell the one he had
in Moorestown. Maybe he can still do sit ups in his lawn, and play catch with those guys on power99.
He would not be happy coming off the bench, as Avant, Maclin, and Jackson are all better. To be honest, Curtis would fit a slot role better than TO. He needs to retire and work on soap operas or something.
In Kolb we trust

If you honestly believe
That being in Buffalo “humbled” TO and he is willing to be a 4th WR anywhere, then I have a beach house in Wyoming I want you to buy of me.
In that case, maybe I can interest him in a Pat Ryan football card.
That or Dale Sveum baseball card.
In Kolb we trust
Uhhhhh
“He could be a back up to Avant "?
“if (when) we get rid of Curtis he can serve as the 4th wr.”?
Is there a second Terrell Owens out there that’s a free agent WR? Because the one I know would spit in the face of the man who seriously contemplated those suggestions.
Seriously...................
i wonder sumtimes why people do not take a second 2 think wat there writing instead of just goin ahead and writing awful nonsense. Holy Christ man dont u understand the words TO and 3d or 4th receiver just dont add up, also why in the hell would u want him 2 poison Desean who already has the looks of a young diva.
this is the worst idea i've ever heard.
but hey….he’ll be a great influence on the other guys in the locker room. it could be just what we need.

dude
i love TO .. but i know hes not coming back .. i wasnt serious .. and do you really think TO wouldnt start ? thats a joke .. he would start pushing maclin into the slot and avant to 4th wr .. the eagles dont want to do that .. nor do i blame them .. but dont insult TO and say avant is better than him

Wow, that was almost insightful JIBTA
TO would have to play the slot though, he doesn’t have the outside speed that he needs anymore. I actually don’t mind him anymore, and I think he’ll get a job in Denver when Marshall leaves. Either that or he might end up in Seattle or Chicago.

I believe the time spent in Buffalo has humbled “The Other #81” so no need to worry about his Diva attitude
Can you be this naive?
I’m still shocked after what Jackson has done that people still think we need a big WR.
They call me The Professor.
Yeah, I don't get it
I don’t know if you mean big in name or size, but both bug me. Especially size.
Does size help in WRs? Certainly. Does that mean you have to be at least 6’3" 210 lbs to be a great WR? No. Maclin is great, DeSean Jackson is a superstar. We don’t need huge WRs, we need good ones. I’d take DeSean and Maclin over Ramses Barden, Reggie Williams, Matt Jones, Kassim Osgood, or those other huge WRs any day.
Also, as a note, I do think TO has been humbled (his last year in Dallas he was actually well behaved, the media blew one of his comments way out of proportion) but I don’t ever want to see him in Eagle green again. Plus, we don’t need him. We’ve got three good WRs, we don’t need an old washed up one.

ah.
why don’t you just call him TO instead of the other 81? it’s annoying. lol but in no way do i want him back.
The Eagles WILL redeem themselves in the '10-'11 season, with a win at SuperBowl 45 in Dallas!
Two problems:
1. As long as Reid is the coach, you will never see T.O. here again.
2. As long as McNabb is on the team, you will never see T.O. here again.

What problems?
I am not sure of any legitimate football fan that would want T(eam) O(bliterator). He’s past his prime and his usefulness.

Didn't you hear?
We’re gonna make this a yearly thing for us. This year we’re bringing back TO, next year we’ll sign Plaxico straight out of prison, and then we’ll take our second Vick project, the Marcus Vick show!!!!

That bitch ass
had his chance to be our franchise WR for the next however many years. He promptly decided to blow that opportunity like a Huds point hooker, and so let him perish from the NFL in an agonizing and painful way that will only be remebered by his antics and not his ability.

No TO but...
I think a lot of people sometimes overrate our receivers.. DeSean and Maclin both had extremely good seasons, especially for their respective ages, but there were many times last season where we had a very hard time moving the ball. We did have a “quick strike” big play offense but that can be shut down as seen towards the end of last year. We all expect Maclin to improve this season, but nothing is ever certain in this league.
Both played injured/missed games last season
And like you said, both are vey young. Jackson is what he is, a burner whose either gonna make a 60 yard TD or be too covered to do anything but Maclin has the ability to be an all-around solid WR. And then we have big Avant over the middle, i think we have reason to be excited.
I Am Better Than Jack Who Some Fool Thinks Is Better Than Asante (IABTJWSFTIBTA)
I think Chicago is the best fit for him.. obviously same body type as Marshall and would be a decent complement to Hester and Knox.
DeSEAN JACKSON THE 10NE
I think the unemployment line would suit him best
His loud ass ways there would guarantee him an ass whooping and I think that’s the major malfunction with too many people now a day. Nobody ever whooped their ass properly. You get one decent ass kicking and you your whole perspective changes.
Ass whoopings, the best free discipline out there.
(available in all 50 states, no cash refunds. If the ass whooping you get wasn’t satisfactory, another one can be arrange at minimal cost. Namely what ever is in your pockets.)

Insanity

I feel the same way every year that we get hyped about going to the Super Bowl with McNabb at QB.
and yet your user name is

never said i didnt like the guy
Just wanted to point out that every year we get excited about going to the Super Bowl with McNabb at QB and get the same results. Hence your initial statement: “Insanity—Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”
that wasn't me that said it.
but i didn’t mean it in a hostile way. but i agree on the insanity. i think we need to try kolb at starting
