What Giants win DOESN'T mean for Birds
I dunno what the Eagles will take out of the Giants winning the Super Bowl, despite having lost to Vince Young in November. If the lesson is that drafting guys who are really physically dominant, like Jason Pierre-Paul and Hakeem Nicks, is maybe more important than drafting guys who are captains and good citizens, that might be an OK thing. If the lesson is that "hey, that could have been us, the Giants were 7-7 at one point," well, that would not be a good thing.

There's a reason McCoy was the only jersey I bought this year.
Looking forward to wearing it proud again next season.
El Donkerino (if you're not into the whole brevity thing).

I don’t know how many basketball fans are in this BGN community, but the sixers have a very similar vibe to the 2004 Detroit Pistons: great chemistry, great depth, relatively young, great coach, don’t commit mistakes, great fundamentals, lock down D, and under the radar. Against the Magic, Heat, Bulls, Lakers, and Hawks (all within 8? days) they went 4-1. Pretty amazing stuff.

The Heat seem to be a worse matchup than the Bulls. If somehow the Heat go down, who knows, the 76ers could make it into the finals.

the Lakers are barely the best team in LA

Going 4-1 against all above .500 teams in ~ a week is pretty impressive no matter how you look at it.

The only one I care about
picking Kuechly is the Eagles.
It's never easy being an Eagle fan........but I'll be damned if I ever stop.

This is the guy everyone wanted instead of LeSean McCoy in the 2009 draft…
It’s funny…I was going to write a fan post about this back then, but I just ended up rambling and making no sense. I originally wanted Shonn Greene in that draft, only because I thought Shady couldn’t break tackles or run up the middle. I went back to watch more highlights and realized that he could actually do that. Finally got a pick right for a change. Well, him and DeSean the year prior.

I wish
everyone would get off the Luke band wagon, Eagles will not pick this guy. He may be good but he is not our answer as a run stuffer in this Defense. Everyone has to realize that he is just a upgraded Matthews and is not made for the middle. Let is go already.
Wtf are you talking about? not the answer as a run stuffer? did you miss the part where he is the best tackling LB in this years draft and he know how to avoid and shed blocks?

Plus, I am hoping that we pick up Tulloch as well in FA.
That pair should make for a nice LB corps with Chaney/Rolle.

Rather get Lofton then Tulloch.

IMO
He is not the one, period, Yes he is a sure tackler but I dont think he will translate well into the NFL as ILB
You're crazy
In college that is exactly what Luke was, a run stuffing, sure tackler……look at the numbers. He’s always in the right spot and is a GREAT tackler. Sure that might not all pan out in the NFL because great college players can flop for some of the craziest reasons. But if he’s there at 15, the Eagles would be crazy not to pick him.
absolutely! If the EAGLES are still at 15.
Still would not mind if they make some arrangements to get RG3.

In now way is he anything like Matthews. It makes no sense whatsoever to compare them as players.

Oh I think
he is, As I watched lots of Matthews last year and thought he would be a solid player and disppointed myself greatly. I have watched highlights and some more games I can get on him I find myself just not trusting that he is the answer. Luke without a doubt is a better tackler but IMO I dont see this guy as the answer to our needs as I think in our wide 9 system he will get bullied in the NFL.
If he was
playing our SAM I am all for him,but I say again like I have in some other posts Hightower is the 1 that we chance on to man the inside. This is my opinion though just like everybody elses.
And I know I have gotten alot of shit in here because of the way I look at some things but we it be any fun if everyone thought the same?
Can I pose this question?
If Luke is already taken at 15, and we did not get him, what do Eagles do at #15??
"Obviously, I lobbied for him to be here. But what a difference a year makes." -- Donovan McNabb
Depending on
who is there, we dont pick @ 15, we trade back and who in the world knows who we get. I think our LB need is going to be chanced on Hightower outta Alabama.
Devon Still…or a trade. I deeply believe that Still is the best DT in this draft class and will have a monster career.

Interesting choice
he would for sure plug the gaps @ 310lbs & 6’4", what brought you to him? Most have him going to Seattle @ 12 or Tenn. @ #20. I would be ok with this though. Would be a monster beside Jenkins or even him and Landri playing run downs, Nice thought
Depends on what happens with Desean
alongside with Mike Patterson

The Knowshon story...
…keeps me grounded. I really wanted him in that draft and though I liked what I had seen from McCoy at Pitt, I never thought he would be as good as he is. He’s 10 times the player Moreno is and I’m happy to admit how wrong I was.
Why do people always think I'm playing the Race Card???
Is it because I'm black???
I never liked Knowshon at all
I though he was all hype, he had great highlights, but I just didn’t like him at all.
In saying that I liked Shady, but never ever thought he’d be this good. I thought he’d be a fumbling machine, he’s much better at hanging onto the ball then I thought. And I never realized how quick/stop on a dime cuts he had, it’s amazing.
Yeah, I never liked Knowshon either. I was happy they got McCoy because he seemed like a good pick. He turned out way better than I expected.

He is better
then I expected also and I went out and got he jersey after he was drafted. I liked him but didnt see this year playing out like it did, But Now I have a nice white # 29 jersey that says McCoy and everyone always ask me isnt that Allen’s jersey but it happens.
What I did like about Moreno...
…doesn’t translate at his size on this level. And that was his toughness running the ball. At 200 pounds soaking wet, he’s not going to consistently run over anyone at this level and will end up hurt from trying more times than not.
Speed/Quickness and vision ALWAYS translate in the league. And he’s made himself into a VERY good blocker, as well. I think a Shady jersey will be purchased this offseason.
Why do people always think I'm playing the Race Card???
Is it because I'm black???
I liked Knowshon and Shady and I wanted either in the first round.
