I f'n hate GCobb but he has a good point here.

Mosley Strikes Again

Whodie126 — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 15:33:14 -0000

Matt Mosley discusses the options of the NFC East teams and WR.

You can tell he is bitter about the R. Williams trade and the fact that TO is no longer a 'Boy.

Anyway here is his analysis of the Eagles, it's not horrible but for some reason when I read something from Mosely I read it with a pretentious connotation and I'm not sure why. It's weird to read that he actually agrees with Reid ... sort of.

Philadelphia Eagles

Hardcore analysis: My colleague Michael Smith seems to have his finger on the pulse of the Eagles, and he's hearing that Chad Ocho Cinco might be a possibility. I don't think Andy Reid feels compelled to draft or trade for another receiver, but he'll certainly listen to any and all offers. The Cardinals' Anquan Boldin would be a really nice complement to speedster DeSean Jackson. Everyone seems to think the Cardinals will break down and grant Boldin his wish of being traded, but Michael Bidwill doesn't feel like he owes the player any favors. And now that the Cardinals have actually earned some credibility, he may be less willing than ever to negotiate.

I sort of agree with Reid that the Eagles aren't in desperate need of a receiver, but I'm basing that on my belief in Kevin Curtis and Jason Avant. Curtis had to overcome a sports hernia last season, but he's a capable No. 2 receiver. Avant has emerged as a reliable third-down receiver. Reggie Brown has some ability, but his lack of consistency is frustrating.

The one thing I can tell you for sure is that the Eagles won't make a move simply to please Donovan McNabb. It's not their style. And in the end, he'll agree to a new contract and we'll all move down the road. It's much more likely the Eagles will take an offensive tackle and a running back in the first round (Nos. 21 and 28) than a receiver. Does that bother some of you guys? Let me know in the "comments" section. And leave a phone number in case I need to get back to you.

Angels pitcher, Nick Adenhart Killed

Not Eagles news or football news but this is a sad story that I thought I'd share. This guy was 22, what a shame.

Is a TE worth a first round pick?

Whodie126 — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:41:48 -0000

Article over at NFL.com.

I bring this up because there is a lot of talk about the Eagles drafting Brandon Pettigrew. IMHO this is actually a pretty shitty article but I thought it could raise the discussion.

Is a TE worth a first round pick?

I personally think the middle to top of the first round is a reach for Pettigrew while others think we'll be lucky if he's still around.

Last years top TEs (receiving):

Tony Gonzalez     Round 1
Jason Witten     Round 3
Owen Daniels     Round 4
Chris Cooley     Round 3
Dallas Clark     Round 1
Antonio Gates     Undrafted

Everyone knows I have a man crush on Celek and really believe he can be Witten-esque for us. I also know that we need to add depth to the TE spot, can we do that later in the draft? ... absolutely but I ask you .... is a TE worth a first round pick?

Sean Jones signed ... 1 year deal

Sean Jones signed

No details yet but its a breaking news banner on there site. I like this ... it adds depth and for 1 year it's showing we still have faith in Demps.

Take Leonhard off your list

Whodie126 — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:55:01 -0000

Sources: Jets, Leonhard agree to deal

So now it seems Leonhard is a no go which I can't say I'm surprised. If I had the chance to play for my old D Coordinator I would. It doesn't sound like anyone had a chance at him. There were reports that he walked away without a deal my guess was to sleep on it.

Giants Franchise Jacobs.

Giants Franchise Jacobs.

Welp the Giants franchised Brandon Jacobs and I'm sure he isn't happy about it because he said that the Superbowl he would be upset if they didn't get a deal done and he ended up franchised.

Mocking The Draft

Whodie126 — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:19:07 -0000

For those of you who don't already know about MockingtheDraft on SBN it's pretty fun to get some info. You get to read from many different fans and see what each fan base thinks of the players (same guys we are looking at) and what they want for there team.

They are doing some player reviews and I know everyone loves them some Knowshon Moreno

I personally like Javon Ringer partly because I like Michigan State and partly because I think he will be a solid back in the NFL and we can get him in the 3rd or 4th round. No info on Tarrion Adams yet but he's another guy I personally like (filling space can you tell).

Anyway check it out, it might help you make it through until April.
