The Linc - Looking For Leaders

by JasonB on Oct 6, 2011 6:02 AM EDT in Philadelphia Eagles News

We don't need any kitty cats, we need some dogs!

Do the Eagles have a leadership crisis?
No Dawk. No William Fuller. No Troy or Sheldon or Seth. No Duce. No Irving Fryar, Jeff Garcia or Jon Runyan ... will Cullen Jenkins step up?

Eagles lacking mental toughness? | Philly
Philly.com has set up a page full of polls asking you how mentally tough every Eagle is. It's as bizarre as it sounds.

Bills plot ways to keep offense on field - Bills & NFL - The Buffalo News
The Eagles enter the game ranked 30th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed and first in the NFL in sacking the quarterback. The Bills rank fifth in rushing yards. All the Bills need to do to win is run the ball, right? Not so fast.

There is a leadership problem

But it’s not because of a lack of leaders, I believe its a lack of continuity on the team. Guys like Nnamdi, Asante, Trent, Babin, Jenkins, Vick, Herremans and even D-Jack to a degree are leaders. And then there are a BUNCH of new guys with leadership qualities who just aren’t ready to step into leadership roles yet. Brian Rolle, Jaiquawn Jarrett, Danny Watkins and Brandon Graham are all potential leaders who just don’t have the clout to speak up yet. Leadership is there, they just need someone to step up.

How is it still an upset if the Bills beat us?

can someone start a poll on what player they think will step up to be the leader of this team?

I thought the perceptions of mental toughness (or lack thereof) were interesting.

As of right now, the top scorers (90%+) were Cole, Jenkins, Babin and McCoy.

The lowest (no surprise) is the kicker at 7.5%.

And the only defensive player off the line to break 50% is Brian Rolle.

Generally speaking though, I think people have a difficult time discriminating between mental toughness and physical toughness or perforrmance.

Broncos would unload dawkins fairly cheaply. Bring him back

You know what? That’s not crazy. The Broncos are going nowhere, why not? Especially if it’s for next to nothing?

At the very least it would amp up the fanbase.

I would love to be at the Linc if this ever happened.

Clearly leadership and intensity is an issue. Instant fix. The broncos are going to be out of it after this week anyway and willing to clear some payroll
