The Linc - Hugh Douglas Trolls Jaguars Fans

by JasonB on Feb 17, 2012 6:00 AM EST in Philadelphia Eagles News

Remember when Hugh Douglas was on the Jaguars? Me neither.

Does Haynesworth to Eagles make sense? - NFC East Blog - ESPN
If there's one team in the NFL that might think it can get something out of Big Al, it may well be the Eagles. Their defensive line coach, Jim Washburn, was Haynesworth's defensive line coach in Tennessee.

Roseman non-committal on Asante's return
Roseman declined to discuss whether cornerback Asante Samuel will return to the Eagles, providing the stock answer that the phone always rings when a team has a surplus at a position. But Roseman believes that the trio of Pro Bowl cornerbacks can still work in the Eagles’ secondary.

Could The Eagles Add A Hybrid DB In The 2012 Draft? - SB Nation Philly
The Eagles used Nnamdi Asomugha as a hybrid DB last year. Didn't work too well. If they try it again, who might they target in the draft?

Study: concussions down 50 percent on kickoffs
A study by the NFL reveals that concussions on kickoffs decreased by 50 percent as a result of the league's rule changes.

Second article in as many days about Haynesworth situation probably working in Philly, I like it, I like it a lot. You know how much Haynesworth will want to show Shanahan what he did in Washington to him was wrong ? I don’t think Washburn will have any problem getting him to play for him, it’s if the Eagles are willing to take a flier on this guy and bring him in. I think if Haynesworth even shows up and decides to put in the effort, we’ll be fine. He can fill out the gaps in the wide 9 a little bit with his mass and make our d-line that much more dangerous. He wants to play in a 4-3 and for a coach he loves, I think we have the perfect place for him. Bring him on board. If they do that then I’ll be just a little excited for next year.

I'm all-in for the 2012 season !
Dwight Howard is coming to Philly. Maybe. Probably not. But we can at least hope, that's all we have.

About as much as he did in New England and Tampa Bay?

At this point I think it’d be very stupid to not at least bring him into training camp to see what he looks like under Washburn.

In terms of low risk, high reward, the only thing lower risk than this is hiring someone off of the streets, Invincible style

Yeah, since he will play in a system that actually work for him, its worth a shot.

2012 is the year of Philly sports teams.

I doubt they’re going to have the opportunity to just invite the guy to camp and let him fight for a roster spot. They’ll probably have to make a decent money commitment, even if for just one year.

I also really disagree with the “high reward” part at this point. He doesn’t look like someone who is going to be good in any system. He’s done.

by Rujasu on Feb 17, 2012 10:37 AM EST up reply actions

he has no leverage in contract negotiations. if he wants to play football, he will take whatever the Eagles give him. After failing with the best (Pats) and the worst (Bucs), he has no buyers left in the NFL.

He doesn’t look like someone who is going to be good in any system, just like after his best year he didn’t look like someone who would be sitting on the bench because of motivational issues the year after

How can you not say he comes with the possibility of a high reward? It was just three years ago he earned a 100M contract. What’s so outlandish about him at 30 years old regaining the form he had at 27, in the exact same system he had at 27? I don’t see why he couldn’t return to his pro bowl form again.

I'll give you a cookie if you know what my pic is from.

From the looks of things, Jags fans LOVE Douglas.

RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.

Hugh Douglas is a douche-bag. I liked him when he was here for obvious reasons (he was good). But I never liked him on the Eagles preseason game broadcasts or on WIP. I have no idea why ESPN hired him.

ESPN hired Skip Bayless

Good point.

Hugh Douglas wasn’t trolling Jaguars fans, that would imply that he was joking about the whole thing. He was legitimately pissed off at those who were ripping into him on Twitter, and saying things like “blame God, not me” and calling them nobodies who never accomplished anything. He wasn’t trolling, he was being a big time asshole, and the only reason he apologized is because ESPN told him to shut his big mouth.

by postman856 on Feb 17, 2012 9:38 AM EST reply actions

It was mutual trolling, because they were obviously being assholes to him.

Trolling or not Hugh Douglas has a huge ego.

Jeez.

Hugh’s been better then I thought he would on ESPN but he doesn’t take things he considers as criticism well on twitter. Back when the will Andy stay or go part of the season was around he said Andy should go I wrote “man one of my favorite DEs has been hanging around Skip to much”(Skip has always hated Andy for some reason) & Hugh didn’t like that to much
