If DeSean Jackson is Tagged and traded look for a 1st or 2nd depending on who is willing to give up the pick teams like Patriots/49ers/Jaquars/Browns all need deep threats & boy do they have some extra picks in the 1st 2 Rounds. With that extra pick look at selection like Dont'a Hightower or Zack Brown. And we will go after WR Steve Johnson or WR Mario Manningham in Free Agency as Wright learns the offense.

Sooner or later, the dust will settle and we'll all get down to the business of looking for ways to improve our team for 2012. Were we close, were we fool's gold? Did we get better at the end of the year, or did the competition just get worse? I will leave those issues for other's to debate.

What I am talking about is simply this: The engine for the current eagles to get to the Super Bowl is now Michael Vick. In 2010, the answer in Eagles fans' minds was "YES!". After a bleak 2011 where Vick seemed to regress, there are many asking the obvious question - is Vick simply comfy now that he has his big payday?

Let's not be too hasty. Some things changed in 2011 that were not simply Vicks paycheck.

I have seen many interesting Mock's going on here the last week or 2 and I finally decided I was going to make my own. This is opinion based on what I would do if I had my choice to run this team for this upcoming draft and free agency period.
Just a small section on FA signings & players I would let walk/bring back.

Continue reading this post »

Here are 5 Defensive UFA names that the Eagles should absolutely target this offseason. None of the 5 is a "big name" player, yet all are fairly young (in their prime, or entering their prime) and will be very reasonable to sign, financially.

LB-Jo-Lonn Dunbar (New Orleans)
LB-David Hawthorne (Seattle)
LB-Wesley Woodyard (Denver)
DT-Jason Jones (Tennessee)
S-Steve Gregory (San Diego)

With these free agents, we get a whole new linebacking corp. I like Dunbar manning the MIKE, Hawthorne as the SAM, and Wesley as the WILL. Chaney's health is a question mark. I like Rolle, but I have to wonder if he has the size to hold-up an entire season. Matthews needs more time for development. Clayton is best suited for passing downs, or in nickel formations. Jordan should be kept as a reserve/ST player. Let Jordan and Clayton battle it out in training camp. Fokou is gone.

With these moves, our LB depth would look like this:

WILL-Woodyard, Rolle, Clayton

MIKE-Dunbar, Hawthorne, Chaney, Matthews

SAM-Hawthorne, Chaney, Jordan

DT-Jason Jones makes perfect sense for the Eagles. He is very familiar with Washburn, and the Wide 9. He is still fairly young, and his potential is not yet fully tapped.He could possibly even start over Patterson, depending on Patterson's health after surgery. And, he provides us with great depth:

DT-Jenkins, Patterson, J. Jones, Dixon, Landri

S-Steve Gregory is exactly what the Eagles need. A player with solid experience, and who can play either safety position. Do I want Gregory to be our starter in 2012? No, I want our high draft picks (Allen and Jarrett) to pan out. Do I want the intensity that Gregory will bring with him to training camp, to help push these young players? Absolutely. Do I want him as solid depth to our Safety corp? Yes please. And, he would do just that:

FS-Allen, Gregory

SS-Jarrett, Coleman, Gregory

5 players on defense...5 relatively inexpensive players on defense. This would make a world of a difference for this unit, and it provides the FO to truly draft the best player on the board in this year's draft.

As we all know, Desean is a free agent this coming off-season and the question is whether the Eagles should sign him long term. I have compiled these reasons for not signing him to long term; I tried to keep this mainly fact based and not opinion based. This is my first post on BGN. Constructive criticism is welcome, trolls are not!

As a lifelong Reid supporter, I'd like to weigh in on what we, the staunch supporters of our brave head coach and his infallible vision, believe to be the case regarding the Giants recent Super Bowl victory.

Continue reading this post »

Unlike some Eagles fans who cannot and will not root for any other team, especially one in the NFC East, I found peace in justification. There is just too much depression, anger, and frustration attached to coping. I just cant do it.

However, what I had done prior to the Superbowl, just to make it bearable, I had to find a reason to root for one rather than the other. Most often, it comes down to who do I dislike more, or who has wronged me most. With this in mind, I easily picked and rooted for the Giants. The way I see it:

We beat the Giants 7 out of the past 8 times. We humiliated them on not only one occasion but a second time with the part two of Miracle at the Meadowlands. I honestly think they have more of a reason to hate us, than we do them. I have some Giants friends that are actually OK to hang with. (Its the DAMN arrogant Cowboys fans I really don't like.)

The Patriots, on the other hand, have had enough of the limelight in my opinion. Really starting to piss me off like the Yankees. Tom Brady seems to be the Man! Supermodel wife! HUGE mansion! Just about every NFL record! an almost perfect season! and too many super bowls! Furthermore, this is a game of competition. If you cant compete, you deserve to lose! Dont cheat! And if you do, and get caught, you should be forever banned from the sport - NFL, CFL, etc. To deprive a team like the Eagles who have never won the Superbowl(not that I am looking for pity from them) of the success they deserved, is despicable, immoral, and COMPLETELY UNFORGIVABLE! I will never - EVER - root for the Patriots (even if it was against the Cowboys - I don't know, maybe I would just boycott the Superbowl altogether in that case)! Furthermore, the President of the United States should strip the New England team of their PATRIOT name after cheating. (Yes, Im that bitter!)

Ergo, I am completely OK with the Giants winning the Superbowl - in our absence. I take GREAT SATISFACTION in the failures of Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, and the entire Patriot organization.

No, not the results, try to come up with how you think the schedule will turn out, how you would like it to be, or a mix of both. I figure this is interactive, yet a nice change-up from seeing 30000 mock off-seasons

[Note by JasonB, 02/07/12 10:27 AM EST ] Several of our community members have been offering their ways to deal with the Giants Super Bowl win in the fanposts. I thought it would be fun to feature some today. I've you've got your own idea, be sure to post it over there.

Watching the Eagles melt down at the Linc against the 49ers with my two sons this year ? $525

Flying into Philly to watch the Eagles get thrown back at the goal line by the mighty Snyderskins 3 years ago ? a cool grand

But trying to choose between the Giants and the Patriots to win the SuperBowl? Pure unadulterated Cruelty. The Patriots and Tom Brady, like Larry Bird and the Celtics of years ago, just need to GO AWAY. Enough already. You've had your SB wins, loses and cheats....now, please, just GO AWAY.

The Giants, who play at Eagles North stadium, went 1-5 in true Coughlinesque late season fashion, then beat the overblown Ryan brothers (who doesn't these days?) to "power" into the playoffs out of the worst division in pro football. They get a Falcons team led by Matt Ryan who shakes like a leaf (on a tree, outside, where football is played). A Packers team that either took the biggest gambling payoff or longest bye week nap ever or both. And a 49ers punt returner who hadn't mastered that Sun Tzu art of war strategy: when greatly outnumbered by your adversary, just run away.
