Matthews, Linebackers Prepare To Be Picked On
The Eagles linebacking corps may be green, but they’re not naïve to the reality of the situation. "We’re young and everybody’s been talking about us," said Jamar Chaney. "If I was an offensive coordinator I would go out and try to expose the linebackers as well."

Chaney

is right. SJax and co. will be running right at them.

Joe Banner is Evil Banners father. Kinda like Luke and Darth Vader.

Juan Castillo switching from the offensive line coach to Defensive coordinator is soooo dumb it might just work.

Our defense will not be a top 10 defense this year.

I like that he’s owning up to the fact that they’re a weakness and going to have to prove themselves a strength.

why do i have this awful feeling that Spags will outcoach AR?

someone convince me otherwise please

Do you hear that? That's the sound of the media ramming the Miracle at the New Meadowlands down your throat for the rest of your life...BAHAHAHAHA....

This

is a creepy photo of Spag’s arm. Is it rotting off or something?

by JGCarraway on Sep 8, 2011 8:46 AM EDT up reply actions  

He probably will

Too bad he’s got the core of a 7-9 team (in the NFC West, which basically means 5-11 anywhere else)!

For now, at least.

In a few years he’ll destroy us. But, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it!

WHy?

WHat has Spagnuolo ever done as a head coach to tell us he can outcoach anyone?

I like the guy, don’t get me wrong… but there’s no reason to think he’s outcoaching anyone at this point.

I don’t think we should say that he is going to out-coach Andy but lets not forget that this guy is one of the best defensive minds in the game and is turning the Rams franchise around. And then on the offensive side of the ball he has Josh McDaniels who for all his flaws as a head coach is one of the best offensive coordinators, if not the best offensive coordinator in the league.

by d-jackfan10 on Sep 8, 2011 1:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

if not the best offensive coordinator in the league.

Ya Brady and Moss are pretty much bums….. for sure McD can replicate his brilliance with this Rams squad just ike he did with the best team in the last decade…. no doubt!

Seriously? Did you not watch him orchestrate high octane offenses with Matt Cassel, Kyle Orton and Brandon Lloyd?

by d-jackfan10 on Sep 8, 2011 4:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

I get your point dude, but to say he’s the best, is an overstatement IMO….. The Pats did just as good with him off the team…and there were times where the Broncos did just as bad when he was there as well

Mike Greenburg has put his sb picking curse on us and Andy Reid immediately text Golic to say he quit.

I've got a problem.

As much as I tout sportmanship as being how we should come about this game, I have no sympathy for T.O.’s money problems or his torn ACL. Maybe I am a hypocrit here, but I feel that this man has somehow done me, my team and my fellow fans real harm. I actually predicted on this board in an argument with JIBTA two years ago that within five years Terrell Owens would be a broke, drunken, nobody.

Has this guy gone so far above and beyond the call of self-centerdness and been so hurtfull to our Eagles that he deserves the fate of ending his career as a broke, hobbled loser, or am I taking the game too seriously?

I don’t think that’s unsporting necessarily. I wouldn’t root for TO to get hurt or go broke, but I also don’t feel particularly bad for him either.

is he actually broke?

I thought he just did that whole tv show shite for attention, and that he just wanted to play to play. Such is a sad fate for someone who once been so dominant….

That asshole deserves whatever he gets. I hope he gets incurable diarrhea, perpetual squirts.

RE: Newton/Vick Story

Where’s the story? The headline was longer than the body of text. That was some shitty reporting, there. That writer would get booed in Philly.

I hate the whole thing

It was like when McNabb gave words of wisdom to JaMarcus Russel (who eneded up earning 1 of his 7 nfl wins against us that day).

Or when Deion took Pacman under his wing, lol .

Hopefully abolutely 0 of all this hype about Vick is getting to Vick’s head

Maybe the roll model thing is good for him. Hope so. Besides the DeSean negotiations, Vick is my biggest personnel worry.

Just that he called is newsworthy. It must suck to have to link such a poor article though.

In seeing scary similarities between McNabb and Newton, in both playing styles, physical dimensions, and above all else personality……

Am I the only one

Who feels the Eagles will just dominate the Rams and kill em?

Have everyone forgotten about Michael Vick and this potent offense? Our OL was shit last year…did that stop them? Our defense is twice as talented and weve already shown plenty of improvement in pass rush and corner play already this year. The Linebackers are at the same point they were last year right now….

The national media are all picking the Rams to win this….which boggles my mind…. so what …just because youre labeled Dream Team, but you have rookies starting at OL and LB that youre going to get crushed by the freakin 7-9 Rams? Are you kidding me? Man…crazy….

FLY #7 FLY !!!

by BWestFactor on Sep 8, 2011 11:36 AM EDT reply actions  

I can see why the National Media would pick the Rams.

The Eagles really haven’t had the time to gell.

New coaches, new schemes, new personnel, position changes – these are all things that take time to get running right. The Eagles didn’t have enough time to do that in the pre-season, so they are going to have to work out the bugs in the early season.

If this were game 8, I’d feel different, but I am going to consider Sunday a serious challenge for the Eagles.

That shit has never bothered Vick from being awesome….and as long as he’s in there… Eagles should be favored to win 95% of their games…

I agree. I was thinking about our defense and everything last year, we’ve improved a ton. Fokou played fine last year and I expect him to play fine this year. Is Chaney worse then Ernie Sims because Sims was a 1st rounder and Chaney was picked in the 7th. Right now Ernie Sims is looking up at the sky somewhere confused about what that really bright light is. Chaney’s an upgrade. Is Matthews really that much worse then Stewart Bradley? Stew never played the same post-injury.

by KeepSwinging on Sep 8, 2011 12:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

I agree with you

Individually, the players have improved (aside from Bradley, I wouldn’t call Matthews better than Bradley at this time) but like everyone is saying, this team hasnt had time to gel.

I really hope we blow out the rams, like this team should, but at the same time, I won’t be surprised to see a tough fought game.
