Ingram and Gibson - Top Values

Baron Dainer Von Tresvant — Sat, 09 May 2009 01:14:22 -0000

Granted, this probably doesn't mean a whole lot. But, draftcountdown.com rated Cornelius Ingram and Brandon Gibson as two of the best values in the NFL draft for where they were taken. I think Ingram could be a pretty good player for the Eagles, but I was kind of writing off Gibson as a guy who probably won't survive the final cutdown. Do you think Gibson has a better than average chance to make the roster?

Draft Coundown Article

A. Q. Shipley from Penn State was a guy I would have liked the Eagles to have taken a shot at with a late pick. I would have rather seen them take Shipley instead of Fenuki Tupou.

I also thought it was kind of funny that the article also crapped on 4 of the Raiders' draft picks.

Already a 2010 Mock Draft Out

Baron Dainer Von Tresvant — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 01:05:02 -0000

Talk about NFL draft insanity. There is already a mock draft for 2010 on si.com. I mean, cripes, can't we at least play the 2009 season before we start to even think about a 2010 draft? Well, the good news is Andrew Perloff has the Eagles picking 31st, so they'll be in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately he has them losing to the Chargers. He also predicts that the Eagles will pick offensive tackle Ciron Black from LSU. I don't know which is more moronic - projecting a 2010 mock draft when it's only April 2009 or the fact that he has them taking an offensive tackle. We're already looking to replace Peters and Stacey Andrews??

Just to mock this mock draft, I predict the Eagles will trade up to pick a defensive end in the first round. They'll take Carlos Dunlap, DE out of Florida. Suck on that Sports Illustrated!

The Linc - Burglarized!

Baron Dainer Von Tresvant — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 00:17:51 -0000

If you sit in Section 108, Row 30, Seat 1 at the Linc, you'll be standing. Five Villanova students were caught stealing the above mentioned seat and a sign from the Eagles stadium. Sounds to me like some scavenger hunt type fraternity prank. The pictures with the article were pretty funny. I don't know which one was funnier - the picture of the sign in the SUV or the one of the gate propped up against the fence like a ladder with the lone seat sitting forlornly in the rain.

How many of you have Eagles season tickets?

Baron Dainer Von Tresvant — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 01:22:39 -0000

I know this may be a bit off topic, but I was just curious to see how many of you have season tickets. I kind of had to laugh when I paid my season ticket bill online because the Eagles charged a $1 fee if you paid your invoice online instead of mailing it in. I'm not bitching about it, I just thought it was humerous that there was an offer for a lower interest rate on your card if you paid using your Eagles Mastercard and they would charge you a buck for using a payment method that should be less work for them.

But mainly, how many of you have tickets?

Compensatory Draft Pick

Baron Dainer Von Tresvant — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 02:19:56 -0000

Do the Eagles get a compensatory draft pick for losing L J Smith to free agency? If so, about how high will the pick end up being?

According to the Eagles website, they have two 1st round picks, one pick in eaco of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds. Three 5th round draft pics after the Lito Sheppard trade to the Jets, two 6th round draft choices, and one 7th round pick. The extra picks in the fifth combined with whatever possible pick they receive for the "loss" of L J Smith could allow them to either trade up in the second round or trade for an extra 2nd round pick.

Nick Cole

Baron Dainer Von Tresvant — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 02:45:38 -0000

It seems like he's been playing pretty well for the Eagles. If I'm correct, he blasted a big hole for McNabb on the QB sneak for a TD against Dallas and got out in front for a nice block for Westbrooks' TD against the Vikings. Do you think he could eventually become a full-time starter for the Eagles? I do hope that Shawn Andrews can come back from injury and his problems with depression. But, if he cannot or if the Eagles choose to let one of their tackles leave and move Herremans out to tackle, do you think Nick Cole would be very good as a starter?

According to McNabb, He's Played Great This Year

Baron Dainer Von Tresvant — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 03:26:50 -0000

From the Inquirer:

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/20081225_Eagles_Notes___McNabb___I_think_I_ve_played_great_.html

I know you don't say, "I sucked" because he hasn't. I wouldn't say he was great, but a better answer would probably be something like, "We're 8-6-1, I'm not satisfied with that." An answer of "I think I've played great" after this season sums up everthing that is wrong with this team and just grates on frustrated Eagles fans. Overall, I do like Donovan McNabb, but too many times he just doesn't seem to get it.

I may be wrong but this part of the article kind of pissed me off:

When Reid was asked if he plans to run the ball more against Dallas, he said, "Yeh, I think we're going to run it every down. Merry Christmas to you and the fans."

In the past, I thought Reid kind of got it with the fans. This is just a total dick head comment from him, especally after the past 2 seasons. Sorry if you guys disagree.

A positive story in time for Christmas

A positive story in time for Christmas

I saw this story today and was really impressed. It is incredibly selfless that Ricky Watters wants to foster parent teenagers who are 13 or 14. That has to be incredibly difficult. Not to mention him encouraging other pro athletes to adopt kids. Ricky, I give you a ton of credit for what you are doing. Nice to see that you have become a good person.

Who do you replace Andy Reid with? Well let me tell you!

Baron Dainer Von Tresvant — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 03:19:03 -0000

I do not want to replace him with Brian Billick. Billick seemed a bit spent at the end of his tenure and even more arrogant than Andy. Cowher could be another Mike Ditka. Really good with is first team, but not so good the second time around. Plus, I'm not a fan of recycling coaches. So, here are my ideas:

1. Josh McDaniels - Offensive coordinator and QB coach for the Patriots. Was a personnel assistant in the Patriot's scouting department, so he has an ability to judge talent which really intrigues me. Personnel decisions seem to be a weakness with Reid and the Eagles seem to love to eventually give that responsibility to their head coach. It happened with both Reid and Ray Rhoades. He's been with the Patriots for 8 years, so he has experience with a winning pro organization. As QB coach, he seems to be doing a good job with Matt Cassel, and you have to be impressed with that.

2. Steve Spagnuolo - Defensive coordinator for the Giants. He's probably the sexy pick at this point. Do I really need to elaborate on this guy?

3. Rex Ryan - Currently defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens. Earned 2006 NFL assistant coach of the year honors from Pro Football Weekly. Was an assistant on the Ravens' Super Bowl team. Has 22 years of coaching experience, including 12 in the NFL. The Ravens are currently ranked #2 in overall defense and have allowed an average of only 17 points per game. Plus, he's Buddy's kid, so there's something kinda cool about that.

4. Jeff Davison - Currently offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers. went throug a disaster at QB last season with the Panthers and managed to have a very good running attack. A coach who values the running game? Interesting.... Spent 1997-2004 as an assistant on the Patriots. Again, experience with a Super Bowl winning organization. He may not be a real head coaching candidate at this point. But, if Reid is brought back for next season, I'd definitely keep my eye on Davison.

For some ideas on assistants - I'm willing to bet that Marvin Lewis will be fired as the Bengals head coach. I'd love to bring him in as defensive coordinator. There's also a chance that Charlie Weiss will be available after this season. I'd be interested in Charlie as offensive coordinator, especially if Josh McDaniels would be the coach. Probably a pipe dream to get either if not both Lewis and Weiss but I can dream, can't I? If not, I know the Eagles are really high on Pat Shurmur as are some other teams. I'm also making a big push for Jerry Rice as receivers coach.
