and gets rid of the durn ball…

The O-line will look alot better than it did last year, when injury really decimated them torwards the end of the year. (not meant as an excuse…simply fact)

If he is still watching the A-gap…and deciding to run/throw before he looks downfield…well, the Iggs will give up a lot of sacks.

Remember now…teams “brought the house” against Vick at the end of the year…when you rush 7 …or 8…nobody’s gonna block it.

They better have worked against the blitz…cause until they beat it…it’s comming.

Fly, Eagles Fly!

***Zach Strief has started at both tackle positions before and has been in the system for five seasons, so he should make a smooth transition to the starting lineup. Even though Kreutz is near the end of his career, he is still one of the best centers around, and PLEASE tell me what team has a better guard combination than the Saints combo of Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks?
The Saints likely will start Jermon Bushrod at left tackle, generally the highest-paid position on an offensive line. They’re letting Zach Strief and Charles Brown compete for Stinchcomb’s old starting job.***

Well, you may be half right,

Carl Nicks was actually rated last year as the top guard in the NFL with a 26.2 rating. Evans came out 31st overall with a 0.2 rating, mostly thanks to all the penalties he suffered (2nd worse of all NFL guards).

So you have one good guard, a Center doing a farewell tour of the NFL via New Orleans and then there are the tackles.

Bushrod is scheduled to make $1 million in base salary this season and could earn up to $150,000 more in incentives. That’s got to rank him among the lowest-paid starting left tackles in the NFL. There are backups who make more than that.

Right tackles don’t make as much as left tackles, but the theme is similar here. The Saints don’t have a lot of money invested in Strief or Brown. Strief is scheduled to make $1 million in base salary this year. Brown has a $450,000 base salary and a $310,000 roster bonus. Whichever one wins the job, is going to be among the lowest paid starting right tackles in the league.

Ever heard the phrase “YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR”?

Good luck with that POS O line!

What I think is comical is that the Eagles fans think they have a shot with Vick at QB. He has never done it when it matters and either have the Eagles…How many Superbowls have you won?
====================================

Really? You know, I never thought about it like that. He’s right! Neither Vick nor the Eagles have ever won a Super Bowl. Why hasn’t anyone made this point before now?

Oh wait…I just looked up some stuff. Aaron Rodgers hadn’t won a Super Bowl before last year, but then he went right ahead and won one! Believe it or not, the Saints hadn’t won one either before they did it in 2010! Apparently it IS possible to win a Super Bowl for the first time. It’s hard to believe that the keen insight of jayco141 has failed us, but it’s true.

Yet that hasn’t stopped Eagles fans from bragging about being 50-year also-rans and reveling in regular season wins that no one cares about.

—————————–

Oh, you’re right. If ONLY we could be the model of humility and professionalism that are the fans of the Dallas Cowboys!

If you still call your team “America’s Team” — no, I’m sorry, no matter how many nicknames the new flash-in-the-pan team gets… you’re still the biggest D-Bags in the NFL.

Do you guys even have a quality punter yet.

——————————

Drafted the Ray Guy award winner in college last year. So yeah, we have a punter.

The Eagles will hire me to be their starting RT before they’d resign that crazy SOB, and I’m 6’0″ 230 lbs.

And the 0 super bowls is another funny arguement especially when its people like Cowboys fans who half of them are 17 and weren’t even born the last time their team won the superbowl. Come on would I be happier if the eagles won a superbowl in the 70s. You guys are pathetic hahahaha.

The Cowboys have the same amount of Superbowl victories this past decade as the Eagles. Doesn’t make any difference if you’re 2nd or 32nd….you don’t get a prize. Trent Dilfer has more Superbowl rings than Vick and McNabb combined. hahahaha.

People can say what they want about LeBron, but the heat still went to the championship this year.

You lost me when you made this comment. How is the Saints O-Line a mess? I think you like many people have read waaaay too much into the first PRESEASON game after a lengthy LOCKOUT and condensed traning camp. Even with the release of Stinchcomb we still have a very formidable offensive line down here in New Orleans. And plus we know who are the starters: LT Bushrod, LG Nicks C Kreutz RG Evans RT Strief

Reminds me of the 2000 Dream Team Redskins.

OL was awful, no punter and absolutely no chemistry on defense. Bruce Smith and Deon Sanders collected a bunch of $$$ though.

Crazy to bet your home on this group to collect a championship.

I thought this was a joke qoute, but found nothing to back it up. If this is truely what Vick said, it’s a scary thing for Eagles fans. QB’s have to take the heat, on and off the field. If he’s afraid to answer the tough questions, what else is he afraid of?

As for their expectations, I can’t recall any team in recent history that signed so many top players, were expected to be Superbowl contenders and won the Superbowl. It’s actually happened in year 1 and 2 of the TO stint for the Eagles.

Championships are won in Febuary not March (for this year it’s August – you get my drift).

Andy is not a gametime coach. TRUE. but he puts together some real talent through the draft. Our team was built through the draft. we went crazy on the FA’s cause it is believed that its superbowl or bust for the fat man this year.

Saints and Packers are still more complete teams than the Eagles. definitely no a dream team, that Ass clown VY said that, not any of our leaders, coaches or players that have been here for more than a month.

talk to me in december & getcha popcorn ready.
