Stacy Andrews Is Confused

PrintThe Eagles traded for a starting caliber guard yesterday. Today, Stacy Andrews spoke with Les Bowen of the Daily News and didn't seem to think the team needed another guard.
All that said, Andrews doesn't seem to be demanding a trade or a move to right tackle. Later in the article, Andrews said "I know I can be a dominant right guard" and says he plans to go into practice like he's the starting right guard, which for now he actually is.
I have to admit that I was a little confused when reading the article. It was honestly tough to gauge exactly how Andrews felt/reacted to the trade. He certainly seemed disappointed and doesn't seem to see himself as a guard, but did say that was committed to becoming a "dominant" right guard. We'll have to see whether that's ever the case.
As with any player, you hope that a move like this inspires them. Lights a fire under them, rather than just discourage or upset them. With an Andrews bro, you can never tell.

I think he might be the winner of this year's Todd Pinkston award.
I don’t think any of us want him on this team. It’s sad how this has to go down but Wells is proven.
I wouldn't say nobody wants him
a lot of us would like him to be here and be as good as advertised.
Andrews seems like he has a balanced take on it, and given that he’s made two exceptions (three if you count not playing alongside his brother as expected) to be on this team, it’s hard to completely blame the guy.
At the same time, he’s got to be able to see that bringing in other quality OL, whether it’s a direct shot at him or not, is a good thing for the organization.
Again, I’ll note that our guards are currently our best backups at tackle (TH, SA) and center (NC), so any injury anywhere could necessitate the need for another guard.

time to step your game up
time to walk the walk cuz your starting snaps are “on the clock”

Weird situation.
It’s sad because his ability is obvious. It seems to be an attitude and technique thing with him.
Maybe this motivates him and all of a sudden he’ll be great… Or something.

I take back
anything negative I said about his disposition thus far. If he is willing to compete for his spot I respect him.
Take the name off the back of the jersey's and reinvent football as a team sport.

Jon Jansen
Is available now. I’d rather have Jansen & Wells over Andrews & Jean-Gilles on my O-Line for this year that’s for sure. Also two guys that I’m keeping my eye on… the Giants released Bear Pascoe TE, and the Bengals released Dezmon Briscoe – Big WR. I could see Briscoe forcing Washington and Baskett off the team.
I'm not so sure ...

Sounds good on paper, but don’t underestimate the need for continuity both on an O-line and in a Reidhinweg offense.

Umm..
We want depth dammit. Especially after that nightmare last year.
Also is Herremans ever going to be fully healthy?
Heck we could use a better backup center. Sorry Nick Cole, it’s not you.
The sooner we rid ourselves of this other Pussy Bro
the better.
he always reminded me of this dude.

Stacy Andrews should probably know that the only thing saving him ATM
is “continuity” of the line.. However 1 fuck up or bad game and I see Wells taking over…. I cant wait till halftime of the GB game then I can see this sorry excuse for a player get benched…
I dont like stacy.
