The Linc - Welcome Back Cullen Jenkins

Jenkins likes Eagles enough to take pay cut
Defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins was happy to take a pay cut if it meant staying in Philadelphia. In fact, he would like to retire an Eagle.

The importance of keeping Jenkins
In the free agent frenzy of 2011, Cullen Jenkins was signed to fit Jim Washburn’s attacking scheme and provide pressure up the middle, but in his introduction to Philadelphia it was immediately clear that he brought much more to the table.

Jenkins Back: Scratch DT from Draft List?
Even though Jenkins is 31 and might not be a long-term starter, his return, along with the return from injury of Antonio Dixon, might mean the Eagles don't target a defensive tackle with the 15th overall selection in the April entry draft. If they re-sign pending free agent Derek Landri, that will become even less likely.

Keeping DeSean Jackson Isn’t About The WR, It’s About The QB | GCOBB.COM
The reason I believe the Birds can and will hang onto Jackson is because of his important to quarterback Michael Vick. The Eagles future is tied to Vick especially in the 2012 season. If Vick flourishes the Eagles have the chance to do something special in 2012. If he struggles, the season could and will likely be a disaster.

In the last 48 regular season games, the Eagles have gotten less than 5 good games of MLB play. Think about that for a second.

Gary Cobb is a dumbass.

“Jackson draws double coverage every play.”

False.

“Without DeSean, the safeties won’t have to respect the deep ball.”

False.

“Do we really want Vick learning a new #1 WR?”

Yes, if it’s an upgrade.

After the debacle last year and Jenkins winning a Sb with the Packers in 2011, I would have NEVER guessed that.

LB

I really wonder what makes anyone who claims to be a “fan” of the Eagles think that there is any chance in hell they will actually draft a linebacker before the 5th round? Andy has been around for 13 years, and he has rarely done that. “Scratch DL from the draft list?” Andy? Never! I’m not saying I agree with it, but we should all know he will do that again.
