Post length nazi^ lol
just decided they should add something to the health care bill. Everyone should be made to get a membership to a gym and must use it. If not then they should be penalized for not taking care of themselves. All in favor? Oh wait...it doesn't matter what we think.
Seriously
What the f*ck’s the difference? Is this forum not for discussion? Did this guy not start a discussion? Some people on here like to puff their chests up like they’re the police for BGN. F*cking relax….
Haha, you beat me to it. I’m not being an ass, just making a point. The difference is that by SBN guidlines, this should be Fanpost with a link to what Sal Palanotonio said. We have had way too many fanposts here and when we get this many it forces well thought-out posts that are worth reading off the page. Not saying this isn’t worth reading, but I’d hate to see one of ChaoticEagles posts pushed into oblivion by short posts. So, to take a nicer version of what you said, please calm down a little bit.

I swear some people on this site must not know what sarcasm is
I didnt mean what I said at all

I figured that out, haha.

even so interesting
if birds go DE RB with the first 2 picks the fanbase will be screaming
I would like to see two playmakers behind kolb the offense would be rediculous
Jackson Maclin Avant, McCoy McCluster, Celek Ingram, Weaver
I would LOVE this, but I’m not sure I’d love it at the 37th pick. If we traded back (or up a ways from the 55th) to pick him in the mid second round I’d be more OK with it.
I really wanted Best to fall to 37. I think we need speed at the RB position pretty badly. Shady is a fine player, but he’s not that super fast shifty guy I want to be able to put in from time to time to threaten defenses
I would be OK with this if we had a 3rd rounder.
McCluster is a little slow, and is TINY.
But his style is identical to Sproles. And we know they liked Sproles. I wouldn’t mind to see us trade back into the 3rd, or even get another second rounder to get McCluster.
We still need a Center and Sam somehow. I don’t see how we can fill all our needs. I don’t think RB is a huge need right now being we have sooo many other holes. But I would love to see McCluster as an Eagle.
In Kolb we trust
slow???
McCluster you gatta be kidding dont let the 40 fool ya he has GAME SPEED i bet on his highlights there isnt one play he gets walked down .
I know, BWest was slow by these standards.
It would be irresponsible of us to mention his 40 @ 4:58. That’s tight end speed. But many players run that speed are are game fast.

I'd be awful surprised
Andy loves OL and CB / S and we need more help at those positions than we do at RB. Actually I’d be shocked if we took a RB in the 2nd.
Go Eagles!
I will be severely disappointed
if we draft McCluster in the 2nd round.
He is really good.
He has super fast feet and plays a lot bigger than his size.

Me too
With 37 — if we even use it — let’s continue to address defense.
Also, saying the Eagles are “interested” in a player … whoop-de-doo. They’re probably interested in 20 players every round. They only get to have one or two.

I just want to throw this out there
The fans have never guessed right about what the eagles are going to do on draft day
Bunk Patterson McDougal Kolb Maclin Jackson Laws…..we did guess jackson which is one of the few early rounders we guessed right but we didnt see him lasting that long! I love the surprises that draft day brings and how when i google the players the eagles select in later rounds they are all mostly potential gems
yeah, I’ve noticed. It’s fun to guess, but it’s completely fruitless.

So when exactly are they going to fill this big hole at cb/fs… or are they just planning on marlin jackson being the safety savior?
The eagles
caught a big marlin this offseason and plan to play him at the FS position and CB#2 position at the same time! They realize that with this catch they only need 10 men on defense or it would be unfair to opposing offenses
SalPal is trying hard to get that to catch on
no one’s biting.
We’re not using it on a quarterback so it’ll be kinda hard to compare his impact to Donovan. Hence lameness.
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
Just watched some highlights on youtube..
Didn’t really know who he was but damn… that dude has jets!! But still, I think we have more pressing needs at safety and corner.
Boise State Broncos= Fiesta Bowl Champs!!
he's good
but not that good. we have WAY too many other holes to fill to take Mccluster with our next pick
If the Eagles select McCluster with the 37, I will shoot somebody.
Jim Johnson(RIP). Brian Westbrook(36). Donovan Mcnabb(5). Brian Dawkins(20). Sheldon Brown(24). Jeremiah Trotter(54).
Thanks for the memories...
hey just because you guys are ok with eldra buckley being one groin pull / ankle sprain away from being a featured back doesnt mean the rest of us are.
VOID!!!
Mike Bell. He was pretty good in New Orleans. I don’t want McCluster as a featured back either, the dude’s gonna get railed on a weekly basis by these big NFL linemen.

yeah… mike bell was prety good with new orleans… The two years before that, 19 attempts 45 yards, COMBINED. Take a Detroit Lions blowout from week 1 off his stat sheet last year and we are looking at a guy that averaged 33 yards a game (granted in shared duty) behind the most feared passing attack in the league. Mike Bell is a dime a dozen player and the second mccoy goes out with even the smallest of inuries we have one of the worst 5 starting RBs in the league. No defensive coordinator misses sleep wondering how we are going to use mike bell. DCs are going to be doing their best to find any hole in kolbs game they can exploit, that little bit of extra time they need to account for mccluster might be all the difference in the world.
Ive already written fanposts about McCoy and him trying to add some bulk for this year. How did changing your body type work out for Lendale White?? How much speed/quickness did he lose and for what advantage?? We know a lot about 198 lb lesean mccoy, we know NOTHING about 215 lb lesean mccoy.
the dude’s gonna get railed on a weekly basis by these big NFL linemen.
i wish bgn was around in 02 so i could copy and paste todd87 saying the same thing about brian westbrook… they nay never be every down work horses but the small scat back is here to stay.
VOID!!!
I’m gonna ignore half the bullshit you just spewed out, but here’s the difference between Westbrook and McCluster: ~40 pounds. And Westbrook’s career was shortened by injury, so your point is poor at best.

You could make that argument about literally any position
So we should waste a 2nd rounder on a position because we don’t want the 3rd stringer starting? Dumb argument.
its a better argument than “he will just turn into another desean jackson”
While the argument could be made about any position the way RBs are used in todays game completely outweighs any other position. The amount of beating that an average RB takes combined with the different looks we would want to put out there makes it something you have to consider. I also want to point out that on any offense worth a shit Mike Bell would be the 3rd back
VOID!!!
If you’re gonna quote me at least get it right.
Anyway, based on the beating RBs take do you really want such a tiny guy in there for us? I’ll admit we need another back, but not McCluster, and certainly not in the 2nd. Too many starting roles on defense we have concerns about to be worrying about backup roles on offense. Mike Bell will be fine for a spell back. McCoy can carry most of the load.
he will just turn into another desean jackson
vs
It’s basically just Desean lined up at RB.
for such a nonsenical argument… i got it close enough. yes mike bell would be a fine spell back for a team with a veteran QB and a feared passing attack… not seeing either of those (yet).
You keep on panicking and drafting solely on need… let me know where that gets you. Im willing to bet its drafting another DB to replace this one 1 or 2 years from now. We are fine at 3cb with hobbs/hanson, unless a player can come in and instantly walk into the CB2 spot they have little to none to offer us. Unless there is a player who is clear cut above the others in this second wave of DBs there is no reason to be the first person jumping on the bandwagon, especially when we pick again at 55.
VOID!!!
I think we have more pressing needs at safety and corner.
you could also say we have a more pressing need at center… that doesnt mean it makes sense to jump at that position just yet.
The saints pick of Patrick Robinson at 32 officially closed the window on the first tier of secondary players, why rush to jump on the 2nd wave when there is still going to be plenty of comparable players available at 55 (and possibly later). Yes, if we go with McCluster at 37 we might miss out on Nate Allen, I dont know about you guys but I dont have Chad Jones (or even Morgan Burnett) that far behind him. Compare that to the choices at RB if we miss out on Dex… Joe McKnight?? Thats about it when it comes down to the explosive speed style back we would want to pair up with mccoy + weaver.
Ill also argue against you that safety + corner is a more pressing need… We dont have Donovan back there anymore, with Kolb coming in defenses are going to key on him and (for once) we are going to need a strong running game to help him out. A player like McCluster, a player that opposing teams are going to have to take a little time to game plan for is the type of guy we need.
McCoy goes out for even the shortest bit of time, who do we have to turn to?? Mike Bell?? Sure the guy played alright last year but you have to realize his numbers were greatly inflated by 1) playing with one of the best passing attacks in years and 2) lots of mop up duty. Howd he do that before that?? 2 years, 19 attempts, 45 total yards… Mike Bell starting for us would give us one of the 5 worst starting RBs in the league. We dont have the QB play to balance that out that we once did (or if we do we dont know it for sure yet).
VOID!!!
There are good safeties left ...
… but the five corners in the first round does leave me a little underwhelmed. Then again, I don’t scout … some of these cats, if they can play press coverage on an island, they can roll with us.
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
you missed my point though… yes there are good safties left at 37 and, short of an unexpected run, there will be more comparable safties available at 55.
RBs that fit on our system though?? not soo much… and dont even start with this gerhart, hardesty, tate stuff. We’ve never went with a big back before, we arent going to start the year after we find leonard weaver.
VOID!!!
i have been riding the blount bandwagon hard but didnt roseman come out and say he wasnt looking at any players with character concerns in the draft this year. Combine that with the FO reluctance to ever bring in a big bruising back and the emergence of Leonard Weaver and I just dont see it.
We draft Hardesty and what does that give us?? 3 power backs (hardesty, bell, weaver) and one speed back (mccoy) who might not even that much speed left after adding 15 lbs. Its not like we could look at getting hardesty much later than we would get mccluster either.
VOID!!!
if we gots mays with 37 and mccluster with 55 and traded mike vick for a 3rd and got cb ghee id be extatic

Vick for a 3rd?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry dude, get that dream out of your head. Santonio Holmes went for a 5th this offseason. Vick couldn’t even touch a 3rd round pick.
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
we dont know what the value is…brandon marshall went for 2 seconds with character issues
by footballfreak20 on Apr 23, 2010 2:21 PM EDT up reply actions
and he can even play slot
Pretty sure we resigned our slot receiver so that he can play slot. I might be misreading though.
mccluster would never be a full time slot receiver but its more the ability to shift/open things up… imagine we are in a 2 wr/ i formation, mccluster motions out to the slot. Do you know open up your defense to cover him?? If so that opens up the center of the D for a weaver power run up the middle
VOID!!!
I'm sure it helps
But McCoy and Weaver can catch just fine. I don’t want a Sproles/Bush on my team. It’s basically just Desean lined up at RB.
WAIT
u wudent want a desean type player lined up at rb?

I expected this thread to be clogged with KolbEraHasBegun's comments about how McCluster
is the next coming of Jesus. But alas, KEHB is dead. Who cares though.
Anyways, I know next to nothing about McCluster. From what I’ve read though, he’s not worth pick #37 and we already have McCoy and Bell. Why not try to get Lynch from the Bills?
The Eagles WILL redeem themselves in the '10-'11 season, with a win at SuperBowl 45 in Dallas!
i dont think lynch fits the eagles system… and i dont think we should use the 37 pick on him but if hes there at 55 why not

NO!
There’s no way right? I mean they have McCoy and Bell and Buckley and Weaver.
McCluster ran a 4.58. What could he possibly give us that McCoy doesn’t already?
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
That's what I think
He’s like a slower Sproles/Bush. And neither of them will be starting next year.
I don't care what his 40 time is
I watched this guy play, against the top competition in college football, and just made them all look SILLY with his speed. I have no idea how he ran a 4.58, but he’s lightning. He’s got top end speed, acceleration, change of direction, stop start. I mean he’s lightning. Don’t be put off by the combine number.
He’s also tough and willing to run inside. That doesn’t mean I think he will be great at it, and, who really wants to see a guy that small having to run inside, but it’s nice that he’s tough and willing on the rare occasion we’d use him that way.
no no no no no on McCluster
and just a note: you guys should all watch Brandon Graham’s interview on the Eagles website. He is a passionate guy, really get’s into his past and how he came to love football. Family dude, boardering on Momma’s boy, had weight problems senior year of high school and freshman year at Michigan (he weighed 300 lbs…how is that for ‘undersized’).
Really likable guy

also, Sal Pal said we were getting Osi Umenyora
so…how much do you really trust this report?
by birds'n'raiders on Apr 23, 2010 5:20 PM EDT reply actions
we draft this guy so Kolb can have 4 guys wide open every play?
Instead of three.
Is that really going to help our offense?
