Reportedly, Joe Banner was the guy doing the dirty work of negotiating the Kevin Kolb for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie trade. However, there's no doubt that GM Howie Roseman was closely involved as well. He met the media for a bit yesterday to give his thoughts on the player the Eagles received in the deal.
"This is a Pro Bowl caliber cornerback and an exciting guy to have on our team." Roseman said, "He's got great ball skills, he's explosive, and he'll fit well with the kind of posture we're going with on defense."
He says that the Eagles have liked DRC ever since scouting him in college.
"He was a guy we really liked coming out of the draft. Obviously we evaluate all of the players in the National Football League. We saw a guy that really fit what we do. He's an explosive guy with great ball skills."
Finally, Roseman said that the team said they had DRC rated amongst the group of corners that were available in the free agent market this year.
"We did want him. We evaluated all of the corners and we put DRC in that group. We're excited to get him and we think we have a heck of a player."

Get to work ya bum!!!
How come you aren’t on the practice field?
How many tackles have you made? Passes defended? Interceptions?
I don’t see shit from this guy yet.
Welcome to Philly, DRC.
Whoever you are, when I log off, you cease to exist.

Easy man...
How come you aren’t on the practice field?
I don’t think traded players can practice until August 4th.
Traded players can practice immediately. DRC will be on the field tomorrow.

Yes... but
… us smart people only think smart sarcasm is funny. And since its been brought up that he’s a trade and not FA or new contract, and thus able to practice, this is either a bad ignorant attempt at sarcasm or an actual gripe to DRC to get on the field and practice now.
Looks like you’re THAT guy
He's slick, he's quick, he's Michael Vick.

I was
wondering the same thing. When can we see DRC, Babin, etc on the field?

There are two rules for success:
1.Never tell everything you know
If a traded player is on an existing contract (like DRC), they can practice immediately. If they sign a new contract (like Reggie Bush in Miami), they have to wait until August 4. Free Agents wait until August 4 as well.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
Cool thanks for the clarification.

Im sure mcdermott didnt make anything easy for Sims but mcdermott wasnt the one on the field taking awful angles and running around with his head cut off.

If he played any different than he did in Detroit, I might have been inclined to believe him. But he didn’t
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook
He actually played a bit worse then he did in Detroit. Still, to blame your own performance on a coordinator is laughable.
McDermott didn’t tell him to run into the wrong hole every time.
Byahhh!

totally off topic here, but…
apparently NA narrowed down his choices to DAL and NYJ…

damn. i was really hoping he would go to a team that i DONT hate like tampa or buffalo or…pretty much anybody other than DAL, NYG, NYJ, and WAS lol
To the Jets he goes
Now, no one can really score on them. Question is, if they can score on offense..
by LegendKnight22 on Jul 29, 2011 3:11 PM EDT up reply actions
would have preferred him go to jets or 49ers.
by thePurpleLion on Jul 29, 2011 3:12 PM EDT up reply actions
I guess i would prefer NYJ over DAL just to keep dallas from improving in any way possible.
but i’m just soooo sick of jets fans running their mouths over EVERYTHING. jets fans are quietly becoming almost as annoying as dallas fans….

I honestly would've preferred the Bucs
They have a SHIT load of money to spend. They’re not doing anything, though..

I don’t get it. As far as i know neither of those teams have any cap space at all.
by Turd.Ferguson on Jul 29, 2011 3:30 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah
Im not sure how these teams have any money to spend. If DAL gets NA is he going to be the only player on defense? Jets are damn near in the same boat.

From what my friend tells me
There’s a LOT of loop holes. On top of that, some of these players are willing to restructure their contracts so that they can get Nnamdi.
by LegendKnight22 on Jul 29, 2011 3:39 PM EDT up reply actions
I know he's a great player
I just find it that these teams are pretty much pinning their whole season on him.Players willing to restructure for another player? Is this something new? DAL has needs everywhere and the Jets I believe need the help on offense, or maybe thats just Sanchez problem.

i was hoping the Bucs too. it just made too much sense. they have lots of money to spend on a FA who deserves a ton of money.
maybe NA doesnt want to go to Tampa for some reason. Tampa may want to pay him like a king, but if he doesnt want to go there…

Edwards to the Falcons
5 years 30 million, less than we gave 31 year old Babin. I know he’s a fit in Washburns system, but Edwards is in his prime. Im not sure about this one.

Edwards is overrated.

I guarantee that Babin out performs Edwards over the next few years.

I’d take up that bet, going for Ray Edwards.
Think “the rotation” with Juqua and Graham could bring down Babin, at least statistically.

Babin played on a rotational line last year and tore shit up. Plus Edwards doesn’t fit our new scheme, we need quick DEs.
Jason Peters: Heart of a Lion, Face of a Chipmunk.
Eli Manning has the personality of a baked potato.
you’re right, Tennessee does play a rotational D-line.
I just think Edwards will do more for ATL then Babin does here.
Hope I’m wrong.
"I'd like to be remembered by Flyers fans as a player who played through injuries, and left it all on the ice." -CaptainMRichie18
I don’t think so. If Edwards isn’t able to get double digit sacks on a line with the Williams Wall and Jared Allen then I don’t think he will in Atlanta either. I would say that he is a better run defender than Babin though, but the Eagle’s new system worries more about getting to the QB than defending the run.
Jason Peters: Heart of a Lion, Face of a Chipmunk.

I don’t know. I also hear the argument that some guys talent is masked by other guys around them and shine when they are on their own. Seems less true with D-linemen, but Charles Johnson looked a lot better when Peppers left.
And isn’t Abraham a Falcon?
"I'd like to be remembered by Flyers fans as a player who played through injuries, and left it all on the ice." -CaptainMRichie18
But.
Charles Johnson only started a total of 4 games during the three years that both him and Peppers were on the team. He was a rotational player and still got 6 and 4 sacks the two years after his rookie season. Edwards has started pretty much every game the past 4 seasons and never had anymore than 8.5 sacks during that span.

Ummmmmmmm??
What are we doing at RT? Don’t tell me Justice is the answer, because he can’t block Vicks blind side at all. I realize Mankins will help on the right side, but we REALLY NEED a good RT to protect Vicks blind spot. Why isn’t this being talked about more???

He did more than shut him down.
He tied him down and made sweet, sweet nothings to his wife right in front of him. Then he slapped the bitch and left an upper-decker in the upstairs toilet right before he bailed.

Wow. You were complaining about not being aggressive and you’re happy about landing Plax? Plax hasn’t even played football for 2.5 years, he is going to be 34 and he is a notoriously bad teammate. I don’t want Plax.
Let’s see, Avant, Cooper and Hall aren’t exactly lighting it up, if Plax is anywhere close to his old self then it’s worth a look buddy.

WTF are you even talking about. 3-4-5 WRs aren’t going to light it up because you aren’t really going to throw to them nearly as much as your top receivers. And Avant had a very good year last year.
