is it bad/weird

that i hate the number 8? It will always remind me of Aikman

Brent Celek>Keith Brooking

Yeah, and Kolb is 4 (Favre). Even though Favre had a God awful record against us, I still don’t like him. You cn pretty much find any number and think of a player you don’t like.

I was really hoping Kafka kept 13

Kafka played with the number 13 through college – didn’t he? Somehow I just loved the idea of someone named Kakfa having the number 13… which I guess is equally weird to hating number 8.

Hopefully Kafka goes through a metamorphosis and plays like Aikman in the NFL.

Cooper

checked out some of the high lights on Riley Cooper on youtube…

Beast the 1 handed catch against Cin & the double move on Alabama…crazy!!!

Am I the only one

who sees some of Terrell Owens in that clip?

by mvict on Apr 28, 2010 6:51 PM EDT up reply actions

You should be. TO: Beast after catch, Great Athlete, questionable hands

Cooper: looks like very little YAC ability, Good but not great athlete, his hands look excellent.

I see very little in common with TO. Looks like Baskett w/ better hands, speed.

And I was pretty uninspired by the video, TBH.

wow he really saved Tebow’s ass on a lot of those throws.

They call me The Professor.

Kid's good.

I like the pick. Looks like he has pretty good speed from the video. Straight up burns a handful of D-backs.

hmm some compare sapp to ware... and he seems to have the same number.. im liking this

by allmaddenking on Apr 28, 2010 4:41 PM EDT reply actions

Agreed

I think Sapp is going to be the steal of the draft. I want to see how he does at OLB.

eeeeeeeh

Still wish we got Griffin or Bruce Campbell

This sucks

My most recent jersey purchase was McCoy, number 29.

Allen just took his number, and now Shady is 25.

by bigmeanie08 on Apr 28, 2010 5:08 PM EDT reply actions

2 options

Buy a new McCoy Jersey… or you could get an Allen nameplate and cover up the name on your 29

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

Do you know of anyone who has actually done this and how they did it? I’ve called a few places that do jerseys and they say they don’t have the lettering needed for the Eagles jerseys. I have a few jerseys that could use new nameplates so if you could offer any suggestions that would be great. Thanks.

Yes

This would be helpful info

I'm liking these numbers

I’m happy Graham came to his senses and took 54 (the best damned number there is), which is pretty damned close to the 55 that he wore at Michigan. A guy’s nuner can tell you a lot about them… Graham was a top linebacker recruit going into Michigan, and took 55 expecting to play MLB, but kept it when he switched to DE. that Linebacker is still part of Graham, hence he kept a linebacker number now that he is in the big league.

Another interesting thing is how players themselves covet certain numbers. 93 is one of those numbers, because it is associated with domination on the d-line. I find it interesting that Antonio Dixon has now switched to #90 from his #64. 64 is a low-tier number on the d-line, for whatever reason, and all the 90s are in a higher one (with 92 and 93 being at the top…for whatever reason).

Just a fresh way to look at the numbers.. Just think about the psychology behind them, it’s a good exercise in empathy, and why I’ve been looking forward to seeing the rookie numbers.

Something else that will be cool

Is seeing what guys change numbers after the first round of cuts. I can see Juqua Parker’s #75 garnering interest if/when he’s let go. Some others…

Dobson Collins’ #11 - Riley Cooper
Dimitri Patterson’s #23 —Nate Allen, Trevard Lindly
Dwayne Wright’s #32- Charles Scott, Trevard Lindly
Dallas Reynolds’ #66— Daniel Teo Neshiem

You think...

Cooper gets cut over Dobson Collins?

by IronHank on Apr 29, 2010 9:26 AM EDT up reply actions

Interesting...

I thought Graham was getting 94? Oh well, I like 54 more anywho.

by Dylan Marck on Apr 28, 2010 6:40 PM EDT reply actions

54 is the most badass defensive number.

The Eagles WILL redeem themselves in the '10-'11 season, with a win at SuperBowl 45 in Dallas!

by antoniak on Apr 28, 2010 7:38 PM EDT reply actions

is the most badass of all badasses.

by DannyO on Apr 28, 2010 7:47 PM EDT up reply actions

20 is the most badass of all badasses

True, true.

False.

92 is the most badass of badasses. ;)

Agreed!!!

Reggie is the king, end of story…

Ricky Sapp

Love this pick Sapp!
“Beware of D-Ware” … “Holy crap, its Ricky Sapp” …lol I tried

Philly is gonna try and unleash everything when McNabb comes back to town on Oct. 4. They really built up their DE’s & LB’s….can’t wait.

by Washington Eagle on Apr 29, 2010 9:41 AM EDT reply actions

I like it!

Looks like he could add some muscle to his frame and still keep his quickness. If he does do that I can maybe see him playing DE yet, but it may take a year or two to get that muscle on him.

Either way i’m excited to see what they have in store for him.
