Injuries Pile Up As Antonio Dixon, Trent Cole & Jason Peters All Out Indefinitely

PrintAs if the way the Eagles have played wasn't bad enough, here's some bad news to heap on the pile. Andy Reid announced today that DT Antonio Dixon, the teams best inside run stopper, is done for the year a torn triceps. He also said that Trent Cole has a "fairly significantly" strained calf and is out "indefinitely."
Jason Peters suffered what Andy again termed a 'significant" hamstring injury on the Eagles last offensive play and there is also no timetable for his return.
So, just like it's two Pro Bowlers gone for how knows how long and a key piece on the defensive line lost for the year. Trent Cole's loss may be mitigated somewhat by the likely return of Darryl Tapp, but obviously that's a pretty significant tradeoff as Cole is likely the Eagles best defensive player. As for Dixon, the Eagles are going to have to sign someone. Cedric Thornton is on the practice squad and Derek Landri, who played well in preseason is still out there as well.
As for left tackle, it appears as though it could be King Dunlap time. The only other option would probably be to slide Herremans over to the left and out either Dunlap or Winston Justice in at RT. Although with Vick being a lefty, you'd want your best guy on the right side and among those options, that guy would certainly be Todd Herremans.

very true
they had a proven and successful d coordinator… not an offensive line coach who thinks he’s one

Correction...
the best D-Coordinator in football today outside of Dick Lebeau, who is one of the greatest defensive minds of all time. They also have a coach for every position on the field. They have like a 1:1 coordinator to player ratio. I’m pretty sure Kevin Greene is Clay Matthews’ position coach.

So you mean that Juan Castillo isn't the best D-Coordinator in the NFL?
Shoot, I was convinced.
I guess the glory that was the Philadelphia Eagles off-season counter-acts the dump that was the Flyers. Hmph.
I was referring to Dom Capers and Green Bay...
Castillo wasn’t mentioned in my previous comment.

I want you to be right
in the worst way but this is not looking good. This teams lack of commitment to bringing in proven coaches instead opting to promote within the ranks is really hurting us right now.ANd do you think we could invest a draft pick higher than the 5th round on a linebacker please?

You guys aren't the only ones who don't value LB's
We got two rookie 6th rounders playing Mike right now. All I am saying is the Eagles always start out slow. Yeah they need to fix some things but I am not dancing on their grave yet, I think you guys over estimated how long it would take for a team with that many FA’s to jell. A win against the Bill’s is all you guys need at this point, because the Eagles are still a very dangerous team.
by Late for Dinner on Oct 3, 2011 1:20 PM EDT up reply actions
So, Washburn and Mudd, the two best line coaches in the game, don’t count as proven coaches?
I'll give you a cookie if you know what my pic is from.
you are right about those guys
but they don’t call the plays on Sunday. I had as much faith as much faith as anyone that Castillo would turn out to be a good coordinator but so far it’s not working. I mean look at the Packers who brought in Dom Capers as their coordinator and then look at us who promoted an OFFENSIVE LINE COACH to the run our DEFENSE. I’m just saying that the experiment hasn’t worked and either it starts working soon or some changes need to be made. I’m a glass is half full kinda guy but this is getting embarrasing and I’m not cool with it.

also while we are on that subject
they did bring in Jim Washburn to coach the d-line but did not invest in good lb’s that are required to help suport the wide-9 technique. They brought in Mudd who turned our o-line into a bunch of trim athletic lineman who can’t push a pile to get one yard needed to score from the freaking one yard line 3 times in a row!!! Now we have gotten away from what has worked for us for so long and trying this new shit and we are worse than ever. Great moves indeed

What if?
Andy Reid pulls through this? He has let aging veteran players go and everyone flipped out – only to be right almost every time. He has had seasons look bleak, only to rally and turn them around, almost every time.
He really hasn’t earned anything for doing the above, that is for sure. I do wonder if he pulls it off again, if people will ever recognize him for that.
pulls what off again. man im tired of saying hey at least he got us to the playoffs again. im tired of being just good enough to get close to where we deserve to be. he’s like the student in high school who gets straight c’s because if he got a D on his report card his mommy will take his tv and xbox away.

of course you'd trade past winning seasons...
you already had them. Would you trade 13 future seasons for 1 SB. If I told you that you could win the SB this year but the eagles would be 5-11 for the following 13 seasons afterwords… does that change anything?
yes i would being 5-11 or 16-0 doesnt matter to me unless we win the super bowl. You play the game to win the super bowl. If you had a crystal ball that told me we weren’t going to win the super bowl this year then i’d rather go 0-16 so we at least get the number one pick. Having a good regular season record over a long time means nothing to me unless we win the big game.
I’d never make that trade. Because its a foolish tradeoff. Getting 10 wins for 13 years and getting into the playoffs and you have a great chance of winning it all.
Eagles: 1-3, but things WILL turn around.
Flyers: Soon

Sorry about the injury news fellas
Just out of curiosity, sice Vick is left handed wouldnt it be better to leave Herreman’s at RT to protect his blindside?
sure, but it would've made sense to move Peters to RT too
Don’t expect sense from andy
I brought that up in the off season, and most people seemed to think it wasn’t a valid idea.
by philiafan14364 on Oct 3, 2011 1:45 PM EDT up reply actions
there is a couple things to consider
1) the skill set is a little different… in a typical offense the RT is more of a mauler, run blocking guy, and not as quick of the line. Not sure what Peter’s skill set is and how this fits.
2) Even though the right side is vick’s blind side, teams tend to blitz him from the left to make him roll right, where he can’t throw the ball. The left side of this line probably sees more pressure than the right… although a clean rush allowed to the qb from the right will result in a fumble.
Me too. Still can't understand that thinking.
If he had only played LT i’d understand, but the guy has played all over. TE in college. ST his rookie year then RT, why not put your best OL asset protecting Vick’s blind side? Andy knows best, eh?
I like that you ask a question that was answered the post.

not to mention the beginning of the season was supposed to be the easy wins, particularly the Ginas with all their injuries. Those couple wins were supposed to be the key to a playoff birth. Unless the rest of the NFC [East] takes a nose dive, we’re dangerously close to dunzo.
I’m still trying to get over the fact we lost to an NFC West team that basically ranks in the high 20s or 30s in every category. FML

but per Wikipeda Derek Landri was re-signed

Things seem beyond bleak right now
but i’m not giving up all hope until we head into the bye @ 1-5…which unfortunately is very likely considering these injuries and a run D that is flat out painful to watch.

As much I hate to say it McDermott was ten times better than what Juan Castillo is right now. We don’t even blitz as much as we used to.
The Dream Is Over
Tuck,JPP,Osi,Kiwi,Canty,Anvil,Tolly all will be in rare form and be getting opponents down to their 3rd QB's..
Opposing QB's made miserable,seasons ruined
Romo,Vick,and Brady's beatings will be all they remember
We start fast,we finish like shiz.

Dear dipshit
How many times you going to post this picture on BGN? If I did the same on BBV I’d be instantly banned. In fact, I think one of the requirements of your website is to act with class on other team’s sites.
The Jruth shall be told.
Aaahh sorry man I got excited...and waited a while after we beat you before I came to bust your chops.
The Eggs will still be OK,just not vs. NYG or Wash imho.
I feel a little bad after reading espnsucks’ fanpost.
True appreciation of Freedom of speech is extremely rare these days and guys here get that and all.
I am a douche at times and frankly all the preseason hype makes me get giddy when I first realize the team that ended our season last year and has had our number is closing in on an 8-8..maybe 9-7 but probably not!

You know what, if this were real life and you just randomly popped out from behind things and shouted random troll bull shit only to run away again, I would’ve punched you in the face like 5 times already.

What happened to this bastard?
He was supposed to be adding to his resume. Instead there’s no sight of him. So much for all that talk about playing a 100% despite no contract extension.

Well that’s great, that’s just f@ckin’ great, man. Now what the fuck are we supposed to do? King Dunlap at RT man? Hunt at RDE? We’re in some real pretty sh!t now man.

You don’t fire Reid after 4 weeks. That would be crazy, self-defeating, and self-fulfilling to a sh$t season.
Don’t understand why people think that Reid will be here if the team goes say 7-9 or 8-8 and they miss the playoffs. Even if they make the playoffs as a wildcard, if they don’t win at least a game or two I think he is gone. 3 straight years the Eagles will have been 1 and done in the playoffs.
and replace him with who?

NFC East is flat out week
The only thing we have learned so far is that the NFC East this year is weak. Good chance the division winner has only 10 wins. Might send 2 teams to the playoffs but I doubt it.
Why is the East weak,in your opinion?
And are you guys really quitting?

I know you are a Giants’ fan but you really think the Giants are good enough to win 11-12 games this year?
Have a nice schedule over the next month but the 2nd half is tough.
@ NE, @ NO, GB, @ NYJ – Looks like a 1-3 to me for the Giants.
2 vs. DAL, @ PHL, WSH, – Looks like a 2-2 split there.
That’s 6 losses. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Giants won 9 games this year. Question is that enough to get into the playoffs.
Boys are 2-2, Skin are 3-1. You think either of those teams will finish more than 10-6?
Well – Dallas should be 1-3 (Harbaugh gave them that game)
Giants should be 2-2 (Should have lost to ARI but the retarded rule/interpretation gave them the game)
Redskins are the Redskins and Grossman isn’t going to take a team through any type of playoff run
Eagles should be 3-1 but can’t hold a lead in the 4th quarter b/c they have 0 run defense and the LB core sucks dick, plus the coordinator’s schemes are awful
The Jruth shall be told.
You don't fire Reid mid-season
It serves no purpose. If he goes 8-8 or worse and misses the playoffs, he should be done here. They have gone backwards the last few years & wont’ have won a playoff game in 3 years.
I’m much more adverse to keeping Juan Castillo than Andy Reid. At least the players respect Andy and want to play for him. Then again they probably won’t after this season…..
The Jruth shall be told.
Castillo
would be out with Reid. If you make a change at the top, then the new guy brings in his own staff.

Cole, Dixon, and Peters are all out...
Well, there goes my hope for a W next few weeks…

Really guys did you think we were going to win a bowl with Reid????
I am a diehard Eagles fan and have been for ever..After we lost to Dallas in the playoffs badly 2yrs ago the same way we lost to them the week before I was totally done with Reid !!! That told me what I thought all along…..Reid can not out coach a better team or even a decent coach !!! He was a QB coach in GB and that’s all he is good at after 12yrs plus!!! Horrible drafting starting with FedEx over Chad Johnson whom we all thght we would get to B.Graham over E.Thomas or Pouncey or JJP ..to last yrs draft…He is killing us that’s why we had to get all these FA because of horrible constant drafting…Tired of midget Mr.Softy D players this clown drafts…Remember his smug a@@ said “JJP who?” when a reporter asked him about him after the draft !!!! Once again the Gmen proved the are way better at drafting and now Washington n Dallas have finally gotten better too while we are getting sickly bad !!! Who u guys rather have been 10-6 or 11-5or what ever n get out coached AGAIN in the playoffs against good teams n coaches? Then set us bad more with another Wizard of Oz Munchkin draft ? Im happy because if Reid dosn’t go now we would never win a bowl…We have a way better chance with a new stud coord or anyone with a clue on how to draft (size) and score from 6inches out !!! Also letting BDawk with out paying him for his years of greatness n dedication crushed me n the Defense obviously !!!! SHOULD HAVE PAID HIM !!!!!! How do u let Q.Mikell go for this garbage at safety ????
agreed.
Reid will NOT win a SB with the Eagles. Fact. No more looking @ the game through green lenses. We’ll make a run after the bye, but no championship. And its a shame; as bad as we play, teams are barely beating us. The most dangerous roster in the NFL, and we are 1-3.
Crush them, my Birds!!! CRUSH THEM!!!!!!!!!

Don't know about that run after the bye either....
Yes we usually do but that was with BDawk n Q.Mikell and a few other leaders still here..Vick is the only leader and he’s n offense..The wide 9 combined with our LBs n safeties plus Juan smdh makes me think 7-9…..so be it !!!! Sometimes u have to take a step back to take a step forward !!!
It aint ova till the fat Reid sings!!!
NOW is when this team is pushed to the brink. This is when the Philly toughness comes to light. Now we get to see which direction this team goes. Are they going to wilt and let it all go? Or they going to come together and fight? Now things get really interesting. Can’t stop believing.

I saw two months ago the majority of the fan base came to the aid of giants fans when they were getting hit with injuries and trying to be good sportsmans about it. We had they dream team and they didn’t rub it in the giants face, they just stayed civil. Now to see the Giants fans come over here and act like this and the way they treated Steve Smith when he left New York, im kind of shocked how classy eagles fans have been and how classless the giants are being right now…
on a side note, im not one of the classy eagles fans however the majority of eagles posters on this site treated you giants fans pretty damn good this offseason when the giants were on their back
