Mike Bush to Philly?

Does anyone else agree that since brian westbrook is hurt and out, so yea warrick dunn and others, deuce, are all out there but westbrook is done in a year or two, so if you a two heaed monster for a while, why not trade reggie brown or some other crap reciever and a fourth round pick for mike bush. Or sheldon for mike. Mike and Lesean would make a great tandem for the future. For people who don't know who mike bush is hes the one who got us to the playoffs while he had 186 rushing yards leading the raiders to beat the buccanears. He was a stud in college, but got injured his last season with lousiville, and fell from a first round pick to a 4th rounder. I was hoping we would have drafted him, but i think they drafted penn states rb. But this would be a bright and powerful move if Any was able to bring in Mike and pair him up with Lesean, because without west36, all we have is lesean whos a rookie and his backup is lorenzo booker who saw the field maybe ten plays all last season. Signing leonard veaver was nice this way if lesean does start, at least he has someone to block for him, but lenord wont be running the ball that often this season. But with that acquisiton, it would make rb, young and bigger, and a bigger chance that Andy would start handing the ball of more.

Future Eagles RB him n lesean would make a great 2 headed monster because westbrooks on his last...

Future Eagles RB him n lesean would make a great 2 headed monster because westbrooks on his last legs, or steal noel devine in the later rounds because ppl think hes small but so was steve slaton n hes a boss either 1 would fit well in the system

Hobbs' Trade No Connection To Brown

Why do the Eagles bother trying to get everybody to think that they are choir boys? As far as I'm concerned, they don't have to be choir boys.

For instance the report that the Eagles offerred the Cardinals Sheldon Brown and a third round pick sheds light on the fact that the reason they traded for Ellis Hobbs was because of the uncertainty regarding Brown.

Andy Reid said that the trade for Hobbs had nothing to do with Brown's public statements about wanting a new contract. That's hard to believe after the revelation that they were trying to trade Sheldon.

The fact that they have Hobbs, a veteran cornerback still in the prime of his career, destroys most of the leverage Brown has against the team. Yes, Brown is better than Hobbs but it seems that the Eagles would be willing to live with the former Patriots corner starting at the right cornerback spot.

They wouldn't be able to trade Brown if they didn't have Hobbs. Why do they bother denying the fact that acquiring Hobbs is tied to Brown's contract demands?

I don't begrudge them for making a sound business decision.

I think at times the Eagles overdo trying to coverup things that they don't need to cover up.

Why deny the obvious?

Just find a way to win.
