PrintEagles’ Free-Agent Shopping Spree Was Years in Making - NYTimes.com
After N.F.L. owners decided in 2008 to opt out of the collective bargaining agreement, the Eagles realized the 2011 free-agency period could present an extraordinary buyer’s market. [Note by JasonB, 08/16/11 1:16 AM EDT ] This is a fascinating article
Frank: 10 Eagles sitting on the roster bubble
With nearly three weeks until the final roster cuts, Reuben Frank takes a look at 10 players who are sitting precariously on the roster bubble including Phillip Hunt and Chad Hall.

Rookies Henry and Henery ready to handle pressure
Asante Samuel raised his arms, started to holler and implored the fans watching the morning practice at Lehigh to raise their voices and make some noise with him. Those in attendance at the Eagles’ morning practice at training camp on Monday happily obliged. So, Alex Henery, the Eagles’ fourth-round draft pick and David Akers' replacement calmly, smoothly kicked the 50-yard attempt and tucked in inside the right post.

Bill Barnwell on the winners and losers of NFL free agency - Grantland
The Eagles continued to buffer an already strong defensive front by signing utility lineman Anthony Hargrove away from the Saints. At 270 pounds, Hargrove might be a tweener in the Eagles' scheme — too big for defensive end, too small for defensive tackle — but the Eagles should be able to use him next to Cullen Jenkins as a situational pass-rusher on passing downs. He doesn't have the name recognition of guys like Anderson or Carter, but since he's still only 28, he's likely to be better than either of them in 2011. Even better was the decision to sign right tackle Ryan Harris, who was one of the league's best pass protectors on the right side in 2008 and 2009 before going through assorted injury issues. If he's healthy, Harris would be a huge upgrade in protecting Michael Vick's blind side.

Seriously
can we have the Eagles FO handle the U.S treasury for a change?
Never call a Phillies, Eagles, Flyers or Sixers fans, a band-wagoner. It is disrespectful. We have suffered agony through the years. Philadelphians should be jovial for their teams' success.

Amazing foresight
The entire NY Times article shows the tale of an FO that knows exactly what it’s doing. But my favorite bit of this whole offseason is:
" ‘All in’ to me implies a short window, and that’s the only thing I object to," Banner said in a recent interview. "Because we are going to do everything we can to win the Super Bowl, that’s accurate. But all in implies right now, bust if it doesn’t happen. We have structured this so it will be sustainable, and that’s a big difference between what we’ve done and what we’ve seen others do."
And I trust them to have structured it so that our window doesn’t close any time soon. So while we’re definitely a Superbowl contender this season, we will still be contenders for years to come. There’s nothing not to like.
P.S.: A long time ago I decided that I would resolve to only comment on BSH while mostly lurking on BGN to avoid spending my entire life on SBNation blog worlds. But that article (and the general excitement over the last couple of weeks) has compelled me to comment. Because while the Flyers FO spends an entire offseason making questionable moves that fail to analyze the market and make us neither win-now nor rebuilding, the Eagles have worked this offseason in their favor meticulously. I’m in awe of what we’ve just achieved.

The Flyers screw up
Once they signed Vesteeg. The team sucked afterwards. If you want to compare a team to Lolskins free agency, its the Flyers not the Eagles.

I don’t really mind the whole Versteeg thing. The Flyers bet on a rental player coming in and being the final piece and lost. They then traded him away again, basically losing 10-15 places in the draft for their efforts.
But compare the Eagles analyzing the market and seeing the supply-demand scenario in this offseason as an opportunity to swoop with the Flyers overpaying Bryzgalov even though it was a buyers market for goalies (and subsequently trading Mike Richards…). That’s where you see a major divide between the two FOs.

Great job by the Eagles front office, now where are the Vick and Jackson contracts!
Also, having soft practices really bites you in the bum when the season rolls around – it’s a physical game and not being acclimated to it only makes things worse as far as technique and injuries go.
Don't hate on it
Until we see the outcome. You really cant prevent injuries by getting hit in practice. Brandon Grahams injury had nothing to do contact for example.

The Eagles practices are no “softer” this year than anyone elses, so there would be no greater risk.
Plus, it’s simply not true to say that practicing harder makes you less susceptible to injuries. That seems pretty counter-intuitive.

That's mainly because 31 other teams had a legitimate stake in trying to acquire his services
Nnamdi’s kind of good at what he does.
I think it can be argued that things went our way because the FO put the team in position to get lucky.
They took a risk on Vick and got lucky. That in turn made us an attractive destination for free agents because other players want to be on the same team as this rejuvenated Vick. It’s not like Nnamdi played eenie-meanie-minie-moe (?) to decide what team he would go to. There was certainly some luck, it wasn’t just blind luck. The FO recognized when something could go their way and pounced. There is something to be said for that as well as the cap management.
agree with most of what you said
Although not blind luck, even what has transpired with Vick can be considered that. no one knew what he would be coming back; you got the more focused, matured Vick. Just as easily could’ve got the still rely on my athleticism only, tuck and run not as good Vick. Nor could one really have forseen the reaction the league and his fellow players would have to him. now that’s translating into free agents coming a little cheaper just for the oppurtunity to play with number 7, and the assembled ensemble.

i guess i find it more amazing in this instance
because of the genre of music. we all know rap fans notoriously cut artists off past 30. they’re old, played out, whatnot. i’ve had this discussion among my friends many times. hip hop is the only music genre that doesn’t support it’s “greats”. Think about rock. U2, Paul McCartney, Aerosmith….they can all still sell out the Garden in a matter of hours. Name one rapper past 40 besides Hov that can do anything bigger than clubs and small venues like that? Because they’re considered old. ‘Wu-Tang is old.’ bullshit. they’re music now is more focused than some of there older work(peep shaolin vs. wu-tang if you don’t believe) but that’s the mentality of the young, don’t give a shit ‘rap’ fan of the ’00’s.
so i give hov props for that.

Hip-hop fans are notoriously fickle
I’ll give you that. Has always been and will always be true.
But I wouldn’t use record sales as the only barometer for whether we support the greats, especially in this day and age (and I know you said sell out arenas, not go platinum). I’ve been to Rock the Bells and the Roots Picnic in the past year or so, and people LOSE it when Quest comes out, when Wu-Tang comes out … People so badly wanted to see Run-DMC perform once more. Shoot they even supported Lauryn Hill even when she was acting like a diva.
I think hip-hop fans still got love for the greats, just maybe not the disposable income to match Johnny Rolling Stone fan.

but i think those acts sell because there's so many on the bill
could a Tribe bring in a Rock the Bells size crowd by their lonesome? doubt it. the Wu might have it in them still but the acts we grew up with have to come together to get that type of crowd, whereas Jay can do the same, with maybe an opening act or two.

Hey, I know I may be an Eagles fan, but I was born and raised in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. I was there during that summer of the feud. EVERYONE was on Jay’s jock because he had the bravado to go at a vet like Nas and since I was in Brooklyn at the time, everyone was for Jay Z, and Queens was where all the Nas supporters were at.
As far as longevity goes, I will forever proclaim Nas the King of Hip hop. Over pac, biggie, rakim, everyone. He had it all. Btw, Distant Relatives was a better album than anything Jay released since blueprint (I’ll give him that). I just think he’s an overrated emcee and should stick to business…I really hate mainstream hip hop though, so I may seem biased.

You can say Vick was some luck, but none of the things you mentioned were luck.
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook. Did you get your copy of the 2011 Eagles Annual yet?
it's not luck that VY came into free agency the same year as the new CBA went into effect?
and at the same time, had worn out his welcome in Tenn. and was looking for a fresh start in a dried up QB market? Nor that the Dolphins weren’t willing to pay up for there 1st round injury prone RB, nor was the rest of the league, thus making his options limited enough to where money was not an option enough where he decided to take less and go where he could win now? maybe i’m overstating it, but you can’t deny that luck and chance showed there face here.

No one is saying the Smith signing wasn’t a surprise, but anyone who can’t see why the Giants didn’t sign Burress or pay Kevin Boss stupid money is just not paying attention.

I am not sure how my actual outlook on the upcoming season
is causing you such distress… so I feel bad for that (since I am causing you such mental anguish that you are still complaining about it). However, I am not going to toe some imaginary opinion/thought line just because you are annoyed by it.
I’ll state it right here, feel free to screen it and rub it in my face if it all goes horribly awry (Eagles or Giants fans):
-The Eagles will go no worse than 13-3 this year (with a very legit shot at 16-0)
-The Giants MIGHT get a wildcard, they top out at 10-6 for record this year (and I doubt they do that well, too many new faces and uncertainty)
-Eagles will not only sweep the G-Men, but they will definitely win both games by more than TD each time
I hope I am wrong, I hope the Eagles go 5-11, and I hope the G-Men win the division and make a run in the play-offs. However, my practical side is telling me otherwise, this is not going to be a very fun season.
Awww don’t worry big man. Since the offseason got rolling I’ve noticed you seemed very depressed about the Giants outlook for this season and you’ve giving a lot of credit to the Eagles. I respect that. Nothing worse than a homer. If it makes you feel any better, Andy Reid manages our TOs and challenges.

A NFC South team would probably get the wild card. Saints, Falcons or the Bucs. I feel the Cowboys will do better than the Giants. I hate the Cowboys and their fans though.

That's my fault, then
I’m just so used to the rampant homerism that I assumed you were being negative just to underplay your hand.
I was wrong. My bad. :’-(
I think 13-3 or 14-2 but I've been wanting to not put that in writing
to avoid seeming like a homer. I mean they very well could’ve won 12 last year
Giants should be in the thick of the wild-card race. They’re not THAT bad.

You got me thinking bri.
I worry about an Eagle 13-3 season or better, puncuated by ANOTHER sweep of my Giants.
And I have said this before, but, with all the new moving pieces the Eagles have, including a first timer at DC, they would seem ripe for a large learning curve. My respect for AR and the rest of Phillys staff make me believe that learning curve will not be nearly as long for them as about 3/4 of the coaching staffs in the NFL.
Thought: the Giants have alot ofnew pieces they need to jell as well. But not as many as the Eagles. What do you think is the difference in my, and your confidence level in the Eagles making it work?
Is it vets vs. youngins? Better QB play from Vick, superior coaching by the Eagles? Why will they intergrate the changes better than the Giants, IYO?

I kind of agree with Banner in that you didn’t have to be brilliant to see this coming.
It was pretty clear what they were doing with the great free agent purge of March 2010 when they cut 9 well-paid vets.
I think we all just thought they were clearing room to get Babin, Big Al and Plax and trade for DRC and instead they got NA, DRC, VY, RB, Babin, Cullen Jenkins, Ryan Harris, Evan Mathis, JLH, SS12, Donald Lee and probabyl some more players I forgot. Hargrove.
We knew they were setting aside money in hopes of spending it here. That it was such an attractive landing spot, and that they had the money when remarkably few teams did was a stroke of … fortunateness. :)

Like I said, its a good thing and bad thing
If things are going well, that pressure will only cause them to succeed. If they falter at all, the media is bringing the hammer. And I think it definitely does affect the mentality of a team, regardless of what they say.
But as far as the actual enormity of the pressure, I agree with you, its a little overblown. Still is present, though.

What pressure?
Everyone expects them to fail. If they fail, they did what they were supposed to. if they end up succeeding and take the division (they won’t, but bear with me here), then it is all gravy.
I think Jimmy meant pressure on Reese/Coughlin and co. From what I’ve witnessed, many Giants fans are upset with the FO in regards to this offseason. Then Reese guaranteed the playoffs.

So I was following in his footsteps. He didn’t really like baseball, so consequently I never got into it at a young age. My cousins all liked the Mets so when I DID get around to following them around 9 or 10 years old…they were my team.

That's how I fell in love with the Blue Jays
Picked up 76ers and Eagles from my Dad, which was interesting because were from from SJ but lived in Boston for most of my childhood. But he didn’t make a big deal about baseball, so I was left to my own devices as a kid.
Around ’85 I really started following closely, and the Jays were good, they had black players (Bell, Moseby, Barfield) that I could see myself as and they were on all the time because they played the Red Sox, and I just …
Well by ’92 I was hooked.
I also mastered the trade of like one Oli Can Boyd or Mike Greenwell card for Jimmy Key, Dave Steib, Damaso Garcia, Rance Mullniks and a Blue Jay to be named later.

The Wal-Mart Wolverines!
No joke, the dumbest person I’ve ever met went to Michigan’s music program.
Their most passionate fans couldn’t fight their way out of a cardboard box. Muck Fichigan. Although Brandon Graham was a complete monster in college, so it’s not all bad I guess. As long as it translates.
As for Greg…yeah. I knew he would end up on the Giants or some stupid shit just to spite me. And, look! There he is! On the Giants! Making plays!
Who would have guessed a two-time first team All American knew how to play football?
I dunno why people didn't draft him earlier
Though I’m by no means a draft expert, I love scouting as much as I can…and I didn’t really see a difference between Greg Jones who went in the 6th and Mason Foster, who is now the starting MLB for the Bucs who went in the 3rd. I’d argue that Jones was better. but hey, who knows.
The only knock I have on Jones is the size, but there are plenty of undersized playmakers at the LB position in the NFL.
Yeah, and fuck Michigan. Though can’t be too mad that they provided us with Mario Manningham.

It never made any sense to me. Still doesn’t, and that flaw gave you a great player in the sixth round. So hey, I guess you’ve got no reason to complain!
I’m happy with Matthews all the same, but I’ll never stop loving Greg. Would have been the first jersey of another team’s I’d have ever bought, if…you know. He didn’t go exactly where I expected him to.
