Tough talk from Eagles about soft play | Philadelphia Daily News | 11/10/2011
WHAT IS IT about the Eagles and the fourth quarter? Why have they lost four games they led going into the final 15 minutes? The popular answer among the fan base - that this is a "soft" team, incapable of prevailing at crunch time - is, unsurprisingly, an unpopular answer in the locker room. But if you look closely at some of the rationales provided by Eagles players, they might be talking about the same thing the fans are talking about, using less harsh language.

Eagles' Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Explains Respect For Nickel Cornerbacks - SB Nation Philly

Jason Babin -- Philadelphia Eagles asked NFL to look at Chicago Bears' block - ESPN Chicago
"They brought a tight end in motion and hit me from the side; I couldn't see him," Babin told Philadelphia Sports Daily. "It was definitely intentional. I know these guys here have brought it to Roger [Goodell]'s attention. I don't think anything has come of it yet. But if everything is about safety and protecting players, then that should definitely fall under the safety rules and regulations."

Bad enough the Eagles disrespected the arguable the best defense last week

with Clyde Simmons, Buddy Ryans, and co. Buddy Ryan probably cried watching that horrid defense.

Watching how soft our team is, I wouldn’t be surprise if AR gave them milk and cookies and tuck them in their precious little bed after the game. These are men not boys. They need to be called out. Not this crap " We are a good team and we beat ourselves". Face it, the DT moniker is in their heads. If it wasn’t they wouldn’t keep saying they beat themselves but actually give credit to opponents taken advantage of their opportunities.

Why is Dunlap starting as guard and you have Jamal Jackson on the bench?

Babin… shut it. You lost the game. Maybe you should work on actually tackling the quarterback instead of Cutler doing his best Michael Vick impersonation?. Do you need AR to burp you and tuck you in your bed?

This team is so frustrating, maybe benching Samuel and DJax for a game. No… that what happened…. ever.

Run Shady Run to the road to victory.

I know de van was kind of bad but why would you cut your only backup guard to activate Graham instead of cutting the safety you just benched? Surplus of DBs vs limited options on the o-line. It’s not rocket science.

by djthekidd on Nov 11, 2011 9:17 AM EST via mobile up reply actions

Because they have a surplus of lineman. What I am not sure about is why herrerans is not sliding over to left guard and justice at right tackle? That would make more sense.

Because Mathis is a baller, Todd was doing fine aside from last week, and Justice has a gimpy knee.

I did not mean permanently. I just met for this game. Justice did fine against the redskins. He got hurt again?

I commented here during the game about it. It looks rouugh

29 fantasy points for Michael Bush?

Did we watch the same game

From the opening tackle on the kickoff to when he came in he seemed to me to be in the right position and showing off his awesome form tackles. Hope this continues, I have high hopes for this kid!

that was a pretty nice tackle to start off the game. i was happy to see him make an impact on ST. wasnt expecting him to actually get any playing time at S for a while though. i didnt really see much of him on D, though. not sure if thats good or bad.

if he’s as hard a hitter as they say, maybe itll bring some attitude to the D.

by RogerPodacter on Nov 11, 2011 10:41 AM EST up reply actions

He had a great tackle on a 2nd and 8 that just absolutely stopped Marion barber cold, the only problem is that barber was already dragging 2 defenders that obviously failed to stop barber themselves.

by IwearNumber20 on Nov 11, 2011 11:01 AM EST via mobile up reply actions

That’s what I’m hoping for, we news that hard hitter on our defense. A sure tackler back there in the secondary

You know what i was stuck watching most of the game on my phone because I was at work. But from what I saw on TV, he looked a little hesitant. I didn’t see every play though so maybe he made some plays I didn’t see. I need to rewatch the game.

I was just looking at a mock draft & they gave us Justin Blackmon, if he were to fall to us would you be willing to let DeSean walk?

Even me, a DeSean apologist and huge fan…. would have to consider that. But the problem is it doesn’t fix our biggest problem, LB

We all know that the Eagles aren’t drafting a LB with a high draft pick.

I am pretty sure people could had said thing about our o-line coach being picked to be our DC. Weird things happen. I am going to hope that we end up with manti or burficft , I expect Andy is going to draft a right tackle with the first round pick. I think he drafts two LB’s in the second round: one normal size and one tweener size with a high motor.
