Ronnie Brown On Joining Eagles: "It's About Winning"

Ronnie Brown took a very team friendly deal to come to Philadelphia and while running backs generally aren't getting big bucks these days, it does seem pretty believable when Brown says that the main reason he came to Philadelphia was for a chance to be on a winner.
"I guess at this point in my career," Brown said, "I'm looking back and I'm looking at the opportunity. And it's not so much the financial standpoint, it was more about winning and putting myself in a good situation where I felt comfortable where I'd be on a team that made that a priority. You can tell by some of the moves that they've made this offseason that they put winning first. And I sat back and I thought about it and I weighed all of my options and I thought this would be a good fit for myself."
Brown, who will be wearing Brian Westbrook's old #36, was also asked if he's at all concerned about a lack of carried given that the Eagles don't run as much Miami?
"Well, I looked at it and LeSean and myself are a little different as far as size, and he has a lot of catches, he's able to catch the ball a lot out of the backfield and for myself I like to get downhill a little bit more and present that option. So I felt that it would be a good fit. And I think on the offensive side of the ball they do a lot of different things to get guys involved, so I felt that I would have a chance here. And I spoke with coach Reid and I felt like it would be a good shot for me."
Brown was slowed by injuries last year, but says that's he's feeling good right now.
"I feel good. You know, I feel as good as I've felt. Obviously, coming into camp I wanted to get somewhere early enough where I can get in and kind of learned the offense and be able to be there and get my role down. But physically I feel real well. The foot's a nonfactor, doesn't hurt. You know, I think it was two years ago, so last year it didn't give me any problems. The knee thing it hasn't given me any problems the last two years; it's only gotten a lot stronger. Actually, I think it's a little bit stronger than the other leg, so I might have to work on the good leg a little bit more. And so, I feel pretty good. Conditioning, I feel like I'm in good, physical shape, but there is a difference between being in shape and being in football shape when you throw those pads on and they have guys pulling and tugging at you, but I think it's going to work out."

I loved Westy as much as the next guy, but it doesn’t bother me. At least it’s not like a random scrub is wearing it.

Westy wasn’t a HOFer but he could have been. He was our weapon X but Dawkins was clearly the foundation of our d for a decade of dominance.
not to mention he's going to the HoF anyway
and he’s one of the 10 best Safeties of all time…

Well let’s not go that far. Safeties are tricky for the HoF. I think he’s a strong candidate, but anything will surprise me. Don’t forget his latter career being overshadowed by Reed, Polamalu, etc. Could influence the writers.

that's way I wrote 10

Probably not, but it doesn’t really matter—it’s all about what the writers view as impactful. Safety’s might be viewed that way NOW, but they haven’t traditionally IIRC. So if the writers are only “willing” to vote one in out of those 3, I think Dawk probably is in 3rd position.
That’s not to say that I don’t think he’s a HOF caliber player. I do. But I do remember a big discussion about safeties and the NFL, and it just not being valued like other positions.
@philatticus on Twitter
Sorry, I'm not finished yet, haha
What if a Safety being mentioned for Canton was a transcending, multi-tooled player who helped usher in an era where Safeties began to tackle RBs and Sack QBs, among their regular duties of playing the pass…?

Really, it goes back to whether or not the writers view that as being essential, hall worthy, etc. I think it’s just fine, but the reality is that a lot of great players get slighted because they aren’t a QB, RB, etc. Hell, even some WR’s get slighted!
@philatticus on Twitter
Dawkins is the player that revolutionized the safety position
I’m not too worried about his Hall credentials.
I think the fact that he's NOT a QB/RB is in his favor
Less competition, lets the voters focus on him more… Maybe
Although on the flipside, the backlog of Skill positions might hurt him, like you said.
Good talk.

Every number the Eagles have retired has been a hall of famer, except Jerome Brown. And I don’t think Donny is headed for the hall.
Who knows? They didn’t retire Randall’s #12, but no one has worn it since.

Yeah, I don’t think 5 needs to be officially retired, but I see it as being too iconic to give to someone else, like “12” is.
I would like to see McNabb come back and sign the fake contract and retire as an Eagle, though.

I guess that’s where we divide. I think Don should be in the Hall, therefore should definitely have 5 retired.

I think he is headed to the Hall. Look at the players whose career he is similar to.
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/McNaDo00.htm
It’s an easy point to argue but it shows he matches up statwise with plenty of great QB’s.
Don’t underestimate his perception outside of Philly either. Many media members see him as a great QB that was treated poorly by the fans. Looking just at his stats, I think he is a HOF.
15th in yards all time, 23rd in passing TDs, 23rd in passer rating, 6 pro bowls. These are the stats voters look at. They look pretty good for him getting in.
As the NFL continues to operate
more and more people will meet, and eventually pass, the stats of HoFers;
Just like in Baseball, does 3000 hits or 300 wins automatically gain you entrance into Cooperstown?

He’s already done so much else, but that alone won’t guarantee anything.

300 wins definitely would
because that requires averaging 20 wins over 15 years or 15 wins over 20 years and very few people have ever done that – and either way is quite impressive (especially the 20 wins average over 15 years). Especially now that pitchers get more “no decisions” than in the past, 300 wins should always be an automatic.
3,000 hits is more difficult because its more common now than in the past thanks to better conditioning (not to mention steroids – will 3,000 hits be enough to get Hall of Fame status for someone known to use steroids? maybe not.
even if we enter another deadball era?
I could see it becoming easier to win 300 games now that steroids are no longer a part of the game…
"I'm 95% sure that 100% of what he says is wrong."
by Ralf E Chubbs on Aug 3, 2011 5:31 PM EDT up reply actions
Even with a dead ball era
its going to be tough to win 300 games when few players throw complete games anymore which results in fewer decisions. Its relatively rare to see people having 20 win seasons even today – and you have to average that for 15 years to reach 300 wins. Yes, you could point out that a pitcher today would have less wear and tear, but its still extremely rare especially when a player in the past may have had 40 or even 50 decisions in a year (look at Walter Johnson or Cy Young’s pitching records – Walter Johnson had some years with records like 26-20 with 46 complete games), but a player today may only have 25-30 decisions for a year. That is going to make winning 20 games a year consistently difficult when you may only have 25 decisions a year versus having 40 decisions a year. More 5 man rotations will also limit the number of consistent 20 game winners – even with a 4 man rotation, you have at most 41 games to win 20 and do it over 15 years. That will be hard.
Touche
I had a long(er) response, but we both bring up great points.
’Tis a draw!

Until somebody gets 3K hits (outside or Rose) or 300 wins and doesn’t get in, then yes. Palmerio and Clemens will be interesting cases.
But everyone that is eligible and has met one of those criteria is in the hall, except for Rose.
I would love to hear a case against McNabb going to the Hall.
I think that Cunningham
will no question make the Hall and likely get his number retired by the Eagles. I think that hte Eagles are simply waiting for Cunningham to get the HoF induction before they have the ceremony, but I think that everyone knows that Cunningham will get the nod.
I think that McNabb also makes it because he’s popular with the sportswriters and they are the voters. Remember that simply being liked. At least I can say, a good year wit hthe Vikings this year and McNabb makes the Hall.
This
This guy put the Eagles on his back for a ton of games! Give him some love.
"Grow nothing, buy the 'Pen" (Wieters Weiners)
No kidding. That 4 TD game vs. Arizona in which he broke that damn ankle…
He coulda used more weapons when we had virtually no NFC competition… It’s inexcusable to me that we were OK with the Thrash/Pinkston duo not only for the Tampa Bay NFCCG, but then to press on and let it happen again the next year. Maybe our options were limited, but we should have won both of those games.
I hate to pull an Ike Reese…but it’s not like our defense did jack shit during those games, either.
@philatticus on Twitter
Yeah but the image I’m left with when I think of the Panthers game is balls bouncing off our friggin’ receivers or that damn Manning Jr. beating Pinkston on the slant.
Not to mention that cheap shot that injured McNabb while he was down.
We lost that game 14-3. We shoulda been able to handle scoring 14+.
Nnamdi really set us above the rest as a team that quality players want to come to to maximize there chances of winning games an ultimately a championship, I don’t know if he realizes how much he is helping us.

I feel like Westy was the best RB in team history, is a real success story and a local product…. I get that we owe him w/ a team friendly deal, i just woulda preferred he picked a different number. So, i don’t really care, and obviously winning is infinitely more important, but given option of Brown in 36 vs Brown in any other number i’d prefer the latter.

different eras...
I’m not sure if how good Westbrook was is really appreciated or that common stats explain it. Westbrook was a top 5 back since he became a regular, and he also helped revolutionize RB (along with Marshall Faulk) into a position where catching was highly valued… which has helped transform the NFL into the pass-happy league that it has become…
Each had 8 years on the Eagles.
Westbrook: 9,785 yards from scrimmage, 71 total touchdowns
SVB: 6,383 yards from scrimmage, 72 total touchdowns.
Yes, different eras to be sure — but I don’t think SVB was clearly better than Westy. I think Westbrook was a huge part of a cultural revolution in the NFL along with maybe 2 other RBs (Faulk, Tomlinson). I think SVB was a HOF RB for his time, and I think Westy ought to be too.
Westbrook’s career just wasn’t long enough. He had two great seasons and three very good ones. He could have done more, but he got a relatively late start and injuries took a lot of playing time from him.
He was one of the best Rbs in the league for a few years, but the HOF standard is much higher than that. His career is very similar to Wilbert Montgomery’s. They both spent 8 years in Philly lead the league in yards from scrimmage once, had two great seasons and a few good ones. I love Westy to death, but he’s just isn’t comparable to Faulk and Tomlinson in career value.
while westy wasn't around long enough
he was the most dangerous man in space I have ever seen. Does anyone remember the “scariest things in the nfl” piece ESPN wrote? I remember one player saying his worst nightmare was Brian Westbrook in space, with Jon Runyan in front of him.
Those were the days.
by Get Jackson a better nickname on Aug 4, 2011 4:07 AM EDT up reply actions
i don't disagree
but his stay here was comparable to SVB, who we were talking about. Faulk & Tomlinson are def better, but I think Westy is #2 to their 1a and 1b, at least.

Shawn Andrews has as much natural OL talent as ANYONE in the league. The only thing he needs help with is injuries. So to say your OL coach did that is, well, a half truth. Did he get him to play? Probably. But the quality of play is all on his natural talent, which is simply tops.
@philatticus on Twitter
I can agree to this
in any case, my point is, Pat Flaherty has done remarkable things with the OL. We only had one second rounder to work with in that vaunted group – Chris Snee. Shaun O’Hara was actually an UDFA.
Last year, we had injuries to O’Hara at C, so then Adam Koets filled in at C. Then he got hurt, and we moved Rich Seubert to C, a position he wasn’t that comfortable with. We played Kevin Boothe, a reserve, at G. Seubert got injured, and then Boothe went to play C. This was all on the OL coach, and we went on without much difficulty.

Just looked it up and realized that
- was the lowest available RB number that Ronnie could take.

Typo, somehow, I meant to say 36.

Just did the research. Ronnie's only options were:
20 (not happening)
36
RBs can only pick between 20-49. Literally all other except those two are either taken or retired.

So… for you people that have a problem with it, you have to realize that that was basically the only number available.

Not sure... All I could find was this picture:

do the position numbers rule apply in training camp?
I know multiple people can “share” a number, but can you give a camp body FB #2 or something?

TBH, I am not sure, but I am guessing that the rules still apply. People probably just share #s.

Dave pretends to know everything.
In reality, he’s mostly full of shit.

thanks
that explains it. I really don’t like it, but under those circumstances, what can you do? He better play well.
Jeff Lurie has sad that no other Eagle will ever wear #20 so long as he is the owner.

You can follow us on twitter. That's where I talk about the Eagles in 140 characters or less.
I see at least 6 RB numbers shaking loose before the season starts so if youhave your ass in the air about Brown having 36, give it time there will be others.

I don't remember your DL getting too many sacks on us.
Babin didn’t have any on us.

DL was sloppy IIRC…but didn’t like half the line turnover? Or at least some turnover?
@philatticus on Twitter
True, but we got rid of the injured players
We’re confident in will Beatty, who didn’t give up a sack and only 2 pressures in 4 games last year before he got injured. He’s going to LT, David Diehl (who blows at LT) went to LG where he’s a probowler. We got a solid new C in David Baas, and of course Snee and McKenzie form one of the best right line tandems in the league.
We also have Pat Flaherty, our OL coach…who we consider as our “Jim Washburn” aka the wonder coach. He’s the one who’s made the line what its been all these years.

Yeah, I think the team thinks its his time to shine, and if you look at him, he’s a monster now at 320+ lbs.

One down. One to go.
AR should have to wear a Flava Flav necklace until he learns how to manage a fucking clock.

probably same thing going to happen with this one too

Bullshit. When was he on the field? ahahaha

he was more of a blocking tight end for us
near goalline situations, and when seubert moved to center, he played a little bit of LG.

Sheil Kapadia is an AWESOME writer (moving the chains column) but someone really needs to tell him that he only has to reply to a question once. His twitter feed is 20+ responses of “it’s only temporary” to everybody who asked him.
I don’t think twitter works like that, you can reply in-mass.. it’s not like an instant message system.
Yeah, it's en masse
I was replaying to the in-mass, and copied the hyphen. Accidentally hit tab twice and enter before I realized the hyphen was still there.
Alas.
i see what you did there

40 and 44 are both available (per team website)
so the "that was the only # available "excuse is not valid
