Why do you care about what the Cowboys did? They stomped our asses into the ground 2 weeks in a row. I don’t recall Donovan being hurt while he was killing worms. Do you really think they closed the ground on the Cowboys by signing a guy with 2 bad knees and a WR from Air Force who hasn’t played in 2 years?? I guess if they sign Baskett (the same guy they cut last year) will put us over the top, HUH?
Another Dave Spadaro want to be. No matter what the Eagles do….it’s the right thing.

Hey idropbombs -
Very clever weaving your racism into McNabb’s name. Too bad you have to go online and hide behind a fake name to reveal your hatred. I hope you get hit by a car.

Dear Ray,
Run to the nearest exit. Minnesota is for losers.
GO MAN GO.
Love,

@ Vick Veritas,
And to think that last year the Eagles did all that while:
Revamping 4/5′s of the O-Line
Starting a rookie RB for most of the season
#1 WR = 2nd year guy
#2 WR = rookie
LB corp decimated by injury
All that considered, I’ll take 11-5! I don’t care how soft the schedule was!
By your logic the Eagles were not even a playoff team so that leaves the Cowboys with a 1-2 record against playoff teams??? The ONLY win coming against a Saints team that had, virtually, had everything locked up in Week 15.
Vox, you are truly a little girl lost in love!

IMO, the Andy Reid offensive scheme has become Buddy Ryan – Cunningham circa 1992.
Sit around and wait for your one playmaker to make a big play. Back then it was Randall, now it’s DeSean.
I don’t see the cohesive game plans I did 5 years ago. We don’t run plays that set up other plays. The down and distance does not seem to influence the play selection (and who does not love play action after 12 straight passes?). We don’t seem to go after team’s weaknesses, it’s the same basic stuff every week. Preparation seems to have dropped off, and halftime adjustments have never been a part of the equation.
Not saying Reid sucks, but the gameday product isn’t what it used to. And teams seem to be figuring it out. And not just the bad teams…we were dismantled by Oakland.

“then you say everyone figured out Andy Reid’s scheme?……wrong again, they scored over 400 points last season”
Easy schedule. They didn’t beat a single playoff team in five tries.
Average score vs. playoff teams: 15 (including the playoffs)
Average score vs. non-playoff teams: 29.5

Ray Edwards benefited more from Jared Allen then anyone cares to think. When you have such a strong playmaker on one side of the ball the protection naturally slides his way making the opposite side player with one blocker to beat as opposed to a blocker and a blocking RB for example. I say let him go, he wont be the same without a strong playmaker opposite him.

Begz…..Are you really Dave Spadaro? Yes, they have had success. You can put up all the stats you want to. Have they won the big one yet? Has their scheme worked? Has any team won the Superbowl passing more than 70% of the time? Yes, they put up big scoring numbers this past year. More than half their games were against doormats. What did they do when they played playoff teams? They got their a$$e$ wooped. Where has Samuel got us? A lot of INTs, but more guys running through him or catching TDs. They have so many holes on defense and they have done nothing to fill them. They are depending on a bunch of guys with bad knees to come back 100%. Do you really think they closed the gap to the Cowboys by signing Marlin Jackson and some kid from the Air Force who hasn’t played in 2 years? Oh, they are bringing inHank Baskett….That will make a difference. Wasn’t he cut last year!!!!

medicore??? umm i really think that Edwards was the Vikes best DL in the playoffs. and was far more productive than Allen.
i would take him for a late 1st rounder because at 32 – there wont be as much talent at that position
and you never know what you get – Glen Dorsey next Warren Sapp?????? yeah sure

You people ripping the Eagles are complete morons….1st you say they havent dont nothing yet in Free Agency…..well, no sh!t, do you want them to just please the fans and blow all kinds of money?…..you might as well root for the Redskins then…….then you rip their front office and Andy Reid…..they are commited to winning, they just did not win a Superbowl…..they have spent plenty of $$$ on FAs over the years (Kearse, traded for TO, Asante Samuel etc…) so you cannot call them cheap…….then you say everyone figured out Andy Reid’s scheme?……wrong again, they scored over 400 points last season…….hmmmmm what else??? Over rated……not really…..and they have been to the Playoffs 8 times in the past decade…..with 6 NFC Championship game appearances and a Superbowl appearance…….the only issue they have not won the big one….and McNabb doesnt have that killer instinct……he would rather be friends and smile at his opponenI rather than rip their heart out……..if you are an Eagles hater, just say that instead of looking like a moron saying stuff that makes no sense, do you even watch football? i agree they need more help, but there was alot of money wasted over the last week

You guys can say what you want.. But Edwards is as Solid as any Player you can find for the left side. He is not a dominant pass rush guy, like a Jared Allen. But he is Solid, Plays the run excellently, And is still going to provide you with 5-9 sacks a year. Is he elite, deserving a blockbuster contract? No.. But he is better than what you are likely to find in the draft.. at least past the first 15 picks or so. So if you are the Saints and holding the 32nd pick in the draft. You would definitly be tempted to aquire Edwards. Depending on his asking price it could be a deal.

Wow, there’s a lot of idiot jabber in here, and a lot of it is concentrated among the Purple Legion of Doomed.
First off, Allen is a product of having a block eating blob playing alongside the real strength of this defense, Kevin Williams. Do the math, geniuses. That’s three of five blockers (depending on the blocking assignment to either DT) on an opposing o-line leaving one-on-ones on the outside for Edwards and Allen. Allen’s sad game (was and still is) getting the outside corner on a LT. The lack of quality LT’s in the league is quite parallel with his “rise” to elite status. Allen is an extremely limited, no anchor vs. the run, overpaid one-trick pony. I give Edwards a hell of a lot more credit and clout for their performance in the playoffs. Losing Edwards would be a serious blow to the defense, and I for one would love to see him play for the Saints.

WAKE UP IDIOTS!!!!!!!!
suuuuure ray edwards benefits because of guys like jared allen. but the eagles also have a beast of a defensive end!!! trent cole would definitely make ray edwards job easy in philly… jared allen is hands down the best in my opinion or atleast the hardest working, i am not saying trent cole is better than him, but he does get doubled/tripled covered as well at times.
Ray Edwards or a rookie in the first round??? I’d take ray edwards first especially since the eagles wouldnt take the most important/best player available. We’d take some bust DT or DE. Maaaaaybe a safety but i’m willing to see what marlin jackson can do first

Ray Edwards is definitely worth a first round pick. Particularly as low as Philly and NO sit in that round. Those that haven’t had the opportunity to watch this guy play regularly are basing their poor opinions of his talent level on ignorance. Minnesota tenders this guy at a #1 for a reason.
The problem with Edwards is he can be a whiny tit baby. Basically a bit of a shit stirrer. He had the same rap with his coaching staff at Purdue.
But he can definitely play.

im always for the eagles going out and getting players but you need to get good players to increase the chances for success. we have parker and clemons to play opposite cole. 1st round picks are like gold but the eagles are too cheap to pay first round money which is why they always trade them away.

Alls I have to say about the poison pill is that it was a brilliant idea whether you like it or not. It wasn’t cheating or anything of its kind. It was a genuine idea that we came up with. Who gives a hoot if you or anyone else doesn’t like it. It worked and we got an all pro left guard because of it. You have to do what it takes in this league to be competitive. When it comes to running a business in this league its a dog eat dog world. Whether you like it or not. So try not getting your panties in a bunch okay. Or would you like me to get some vagisil cream from my wife if you catch my drift.

Ray… DO NOT HIT THE MAN WITH THE RED JERSEY IF YOU COME TO NEW ORLEANS
That said… I would feel wayyyyy better by drafting a DE at 32 or in the 2nd round.

Brian Robison is better than Edwards anyways. He just needs more playing time. I hope someone “steals” him for a first round pick.

By: scrapdawg12

scrapdawg12 — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:18:37 +0000

I like Edwards a lot. He and Trent Cole would make a good duo. I would not give a 1st round pick for him, he’s not that good. I would give Mcnabb for Edwards and Minnesota’s 2nd rounder however. Thats only saying Favre retires however. Brad Childress is the coach and he may want Mcnabb if he feels by draft time Favre is not coming back.

@buffalo hogan what are you talking about? it seems they know they’ve got a goldmine and thats why they’re not trading these guys away just to get rid of them.

By: jebdamone

jebdamone — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:56:20 +0000

wouldn’t they have to give us their 1st round pick if they signed him? vikes need to sign him. he is not spectacular but played much better this year and has been in the system for three making him difficult to replace in the current market.

@floriosadouchebag youre an idiot. ray edwards has not established himself as a legit playmaker and the eagles want 2 1st rounders for kolb because of the investment theyve made in him, not because of his performance in those two games.

Ray Edwards is totally not worth a 1st rounder. If he wasn’t playing with the best D-Line in football he wouldn’t be putting up sacks. The Saints with #32 might be able to use him, but the Eagles at #24 can draft someone with more potential. Edwards is a solid player but he’s worth a second rounder at best
