This is our chance to revamp our defense's image. Since Dawkins was allowed to walk (still bitter) our defense has been a shell of its former self. Hugh, Trott, Taylor, Vincent, and Dawk we're relentless and mean- much like Buddy's; Waters, White, Simmons, Joyner, and Brown team back in the early 90's.

I've never watched much college football/basketball. Played D3 football for Wilkes U... Same colors as WV and all. Lived in Pittsburgh for a few years- that’s when I started routing for WV. Pittsburghers gave me shit because of my Philly ties- grew up in DE 15 mins from Philly- Huge Eagles fan. I was told Eagles and WV fans are one in the same. On a whim my girlfriend and I decided to check out the campus- seems like my kind of town, almost identical in character to the small school I went to in the Pocono’s (Wilkes U). Lots of pride, bad ass colors, bad ass swagger and a blue collar feeling (that’s a compliment) Unfortunately I wasn’t able to stick around to see the nightlife or go to a game but I definitely grew a likening for Mountaineer country. Seems as though WV is usually the underdog and you welcome that with open arms.

To add to the McNabb/Kolb/Vick rummors....

Two NFL teams reportedly left the Fordham Pro Day Tuesday with a third-round grade on QB John Skelton.
Skelton showed improved accuracy and his typically powerful arm during an impressive workout. The four-year starter appears to be making a strong case to be one of the first four or five QBs drafted in April. According to NFL.com's Gil Brandt, Eagles OC Marty Mornhinweg, Bengals QBs coach Ken Zampese, and Bills QBs coach George Cortez were among those on hand.

The Seahawks have been contacting the Eagles "non-stop" about Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb, ESPN's Sal Paolantonio said during a Tuesday radio appearance.

According to multiple reports out of Chicago, Carolina defensive end Julius Peppers is headed to Chicago tomorrow to meet with the Bears. Peppers' agent, Carl Carey, told the Chicago Sun-Times that it was the Bears' "deal to lose."

Posted by Michael David Smith on March 5, 2010 7:05 AM ET As the quarterback saga in Philadelphia continues, the latest report says that Eagles coach Andy Reid wants to keep Donovan McNabbb, but others in the Philadelphia front office want to trade him.

I know a lot of BGNr's are going to come back and argue that with Vick, our offense is difficult to prepair for. While I agree the wildcat can be hell on a defense, I don't think it suits us well.

So who would have thunk it? Greg Lewis, at 29, cut from the Eagles and the Pats this year has made arguably the greatest last minute play (along with Farve) in the history of the NFL.

Feeley may be signing with the Panthers today or tomorrow...

So IF he does what do we do from here? I doubt Garcia would work for us, he's going to want money and playing time. At this point enough of yas argued against me and my opinion has changed on Kolb- not all of the credit goes the BGNr's, Sheldon went to bat for Kolb today and in Sheldon I trust. I mean hell, I didnt have faith in Juctice eather- Jason B pointed that out, look how that worked for me. Regardless, we need a back up, who's out there?

No Link- Hearsay- just a conversation peice guys, curious in fellow BGNr's opinions

(This could prob be a fanshot, sorry everyone- I cant really figure that thing out. So instead of tearing apart the post I'm saying sorry now)

Efff em, Were winning anyway!

Eagles fan here

Just wanted to congradulate you guys on staying classy, staying behind Rogers and pulling through all of the mess. Rogers got his first big come back win  tonight against a big rival of yours and I cant help but like this guy. Its good to see him start the season with a bang, embarass that cry baby Cutler and quite the rest of "Farve" nation. Kudos fellas. I have always respected your organization- keep it up Cheese heads- we need something to put on our steak sandwiches

Good luck this season- See you in the playoffs

BTW- none of what I said stands if we meet in the playoffs, Go Birds!

Eages fan here- Im watching the Bear Packers game right now and I have got to say, you guys came out on top of that QB deal.... 3 picks in the 1st half and he is getting blasted tonight. The game is nationaly televised, so I'm sure most of you are watching, but it had to be said. He is shook! Dude is out of his element, he looks like a deer in the headlights right now. For those who miss haveing him behind center you should feel a lot better after tonight....

Im watching Cutler literally come to realize in middle of a game "oh shit... I suck"

By the way how is Dawk doing, our new FS (rookie Macho Harris) had a great day today but I still miss Weapon X.

Hope Buchalter works out too, he is a tough dude loved by Philly who never got enough credit from the media

good luck this season... except for DEC 27th (hope you misserably fail dec 27th) but other then that....

THere saying McNabb will be out for 2-4 weeks because of the cracked ribs. In my opinion, Kolb does not have what it takes to lead our offence. Every time he had the ball we were all cringing.

Bottom line- We need Feely back... AJ has lead us in the past, he's a vet with a lot of experience and someone who has the confidence Kolb seems to lack.

I just dont have faith in Kolb, I know he's young but I dont think he has it in him to ever be a starter.

By the way- did anyone else notice how jacked McNabb looked? Dude is in shape...

I live in Pittsburgh and I am hardly ever able to watch any of my teams on the tube let alone in person. Im planning on attending all 3 games. While I have a few buds to go with Thursday I cant find enough Phills or Rats fans to fill up the other 2 games... I just want to surround myself with a few fellow Phills fans...

Blanton Tuesday night, Hamels Wednesday night, Happ Thursday night

As I stated a few times in other posts, I now live in Pittsburgh- soon to move to MD. So the majority of my Eagles news comes from here and my Pop. This morning he told me some unsettling things that has been said about our camp. I realize things have been tough due to injuries but besides that he told me that Didinger and a few guys on WIP have been saying this is the "sloppiest" camp Andy has ever run. Also that Reid is more animated then ever, yelling and flailing off at the team and coaches. The offence (prob because of the Swiss cheese line) is not meshing and our defence does not look ready. I hate to dwell on the bad stuff but what is the word? Again, I know we have been plagued with injuries and of course the lose of JJ and the absence of old timers like Dawk, Runyan, and Tra are going to have there effects but I was under the impression we were looking like a real threat in the NFC still. I have also taken in consideration my Pop is a "tough love" Eagles fan, but still a true fan- and no news is good news from him when it comes to the Birds.

Anyone who frequents the camps over the years have an opinion? I need some insight it sucks being out here!

P.S. Eff em, Were winning anyway!

Im moving to Easton MD soon and I need a place to watch my birds, I asked the same question on the Phight'n Phills blog and I got the Internet package answer. Im looking for eather a few fans in Eastern Shore that might wanna meet up or a bar  within a reasonable distance who has the ticket...

By the way, apparently there are a few big Eagles fans it seems in Easton- big enough to risk being shot at just to Mock a Dallas fan -----> Man convicted in Football Fight

2 Rookie Guards and no Jason Peters...

These guys are getting blown up by 2nd string D-Linemen!

I know we are a little worried about our situation with all of our O-line injuries but at least were not the Bills- Bust I guess you can say that when it comes to any fasset of the team...

75 words, 75 words, 75 words, 75 words, 75 words, 75 words, 75 words, 75 words, 75 words, 75 words, 75 words

Just moved to Easton MD- all Orioles/Nats and Ravens/Skins on local stations. I was hopeing I could get some help finding a place to catch the games. Im about an hour from Annapolis and an hour from Salisbury MD- the closest city/town to Easton is Cambridge MD

This is a huge imporvement from my last residece in Shittsburgh... but Im still too far from home to see my Fightinsand my Birds....

Thanks for any help

Shawn Andrews, Stacy Andrews and Jason Peters are all out... regardless of how serious these injuries may be they are not practicing... Runyan is a tried and true Tackle, he may have lost a step or two but he could still help us out alot.  The one problem I can think of that may come from this is when the line we have is healthy could Big John stand on the sidelines? Maybe a one year contract to solidify our line and haveing some Old school grit along with it is just what the Offence needs. I need some Six Nine

I just heard Parker was caught at camp and arrested with possession of marijuana. He was arrested outside the trainning  facilitates. He was taken to Easton PA where he made bail. No news from Reid (Shocker). But apparently the Birds have inquired about former pro bowler and Philly pass rush monster Burgess. Obviously this is all fresh info so I don'tknow how sturdy it is but the raiders are asking for a 2 and a 3 for Burgess.

I know this has been scatered in several posts already but I just wanted to sum it all up before the draft

With Our additions to the OLine and FB our running game should take a huge leap forward. Not only was St Andrews and Peters and approvement physically but It helps any issues we had with Shawn Andrews last season. We have a physically dominate team and now with the Andrews brothers and Shawn's college room mate on the line we are a young close knit Line.

Weaver is a great blocker as well as a pair of nice hands in the flat- One more weapon in the backfield will give McNabb more time and more tagets along with Westbrook a bigger lane.

Our Wideouts are solid with Jackson and Avant making huge strides last year and Curtis playing big after his injury

McNabb unndoubtably will work out his contract after Peters signed- I'm sure this is what he ment when he asked for investments on Offence

And while we lost an asset on D, the tantum of Quintin Mikell, Sean Jones, Byron Parker promises to put out a solid FS for 09.

Ofcourse our CBs are elite- my fingers are crossed Brown will work something out with management

Lastly our boys upfront. With a young LB core we looked amazing last year and now with some experience under there belts (includeing a deep playoff run for a first yr started at ILB) we are only going to improve. And the D-Line speakes for inteslf. A group of speedy passrushers and violent run stopers lloks to dominate for yet another season.

We are all excited about this weeks' draft, personaly I reall want Knowshon but as we all know Reid likes to confuse and disapoint only to prove us all wrong. So I promised myself to not get too tied up into expecting anyone in particular

The 2009 birds look damn good on paper, my biggest concern right now is Sheldon Brown- while writing this ESPN announced Brown wants a trade. I think we all agree he is our new Dawkins, other then that, we are stacked for the year

Huge Eagles fan here, and a very superstitious one at that. I have let my beard grow out for my birds but I'm not sure if it was just a locker room thing or if other Eagles fans have done the same. My girlfriend isn’t a fan of it but she understands if in my head its helping us win its here to stay. People have been busting my balls for believing in this thing, especially now that I live in Pittsburgh, but it is what it is. I need an opinion of another diehard fan.
