Okay, I get it is waaaaaay too early to be thinking this but I had a thought that I felt needed sharing.
I was looking through an Eagles blog and someone had suggested a switch to 3-4, I thought about it. I like it a lot more than I ever though I would have.
Okay, lets assume we finish 7-9 and Andy and Vick are both out. (REMEMBER IT IS PURE SPECULATION)
Head Coach hire: Vic Fangio or Ray Horton (both 3-4 guys that run agressive schemes)
Defensive Coordinator: Todd Bowles
Quarterback: Nick Foles
Draft: Round 1: John Jenkins NT, Georgia. Round 2: William Gholston 3-4 DE MSU. Round 3: Ezekiel Ansah 3-4 OLB BYU. Round 4: Alvin Bailey G Arkansas. Round 5: Devin Street WR Pittsburgh. Round 6: Xavier Nixon OT Florida (probably won't be available here but it would be a steal) Round 7: Collin Klein (Tebow Role, extra dimension to our offense)
Free Agency:
First up: Make a decision on Jason Peters. If he looks like the JP of old keep him, if he looks a lot worse cut him and go after guys like Ryan Clady, Branden Albert, etc.
Resign DRC and Maclin
Sign a backup Center.
Release Jason Babin, Derek Landri, Dion Lewis
Sign a safety to replace Coleman: Guys like Kerry Rhodes, Jairus Byrd, Dashon Goldson, Kenny Phillips are also options.
Attempt to sign Glenn Dorsey, if successful Release Cullen Jenkins.
Sign Arthur Jones, Captain Munnerlyn, and Pat McAfee
