Title: Re: Eagles Offseason Report Post by Philly on Mar 10th, 2004, 9:00am The Giants and Eagles swapped LBs as Carlos Emmons went north on the NJ Turnpike and Dhani Jones came south. http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/8146654.htm The story also discusses the departure of Duce Staley to Pittsburgh. ------------------------ My thoughts. I think that Dhani Jones will be a decent Sam, despite the fact he has only played Will in the NFL. The Eagles look like they'll be very small at LB next season. Jones-Simoneau-Wayne will be a quick group, but will get eaten up by blockers and bigger backs. (Even if they grab Vilma in the draft, they'll still be small.) This also increases the chances that Correll Buckhalter will return. I thought he might be on the way out. As a RFA, his tender would only necessitate the loss of a 4th round pick if another team grabbed him and Buck was insulted by the tender. He also missed a team meeting and was late to a practice this past season--earning himself a one-game team suspension. The previous year he ran afoul of the law. I still wouldn't be surprised to see the team let him walk and go after Garrison Hearst as a 1 or 2-year backup to Westbrook, although Hearst to the Lions seems to have more merit. |

Title: Re: Eagles Offseason Report Post by Philly on Mar 30th, 2004, 2:42pm Compensatory picks announced and the Eagles are the big winners. They get 4 additional picks in the 2004 draft. They'll have the #129 and #131 picks (at the end of the fourth round) and the #242 and #243 picks (near the end of the seventh round). The Eagles did not have any fourth or fifth round picks this year because of trades, so this will help fill in the middle of the draft. They now have two sixths and three sevenths. With this cadre of picks, they might have more draft-day trade options. |

|
Title: Re: Eagles Offseason Report Post by DOLFAN on Mar 30th, 2004, 5:21pm The Eagles will use at least one of these picks to get some DB help I'm sure |

Title: Re: Eagles Offseason Report Post by Philly on Apr 16th, 2004, 1:58pm When I read yesterday that the Niners were looking to trade down out of the #16 spot, possibly towards the end of the first round where they'd still be able to land a very solid WR, I thought... "Hmm... It would be great if the Eagles could move up to that spot." However, I quickly dismissed it because they did a similar move last year (#30 to #15 for Jerome McDougle) which didn't pay any dividends last year. Also I considered the fact that the Eagles might not be on the top of the Niners' friendly-discussion list in light of the TO situation. Then I see this... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1783721 So maybe the Eagles are looking to move up. At #16, they'd probably be able to get Jonathan Vilma (the next Ray Lewis, in my opinion) - or DJ Williams at the very least. They'd give up OG John Welbourn (who is a very good player who has trouble staying healthy) and a draft pick (probably a #3, since they can't trade either of their #4s - both compensatory picks). So they draft Vilma and then use the 2nd rounder on Boston College OG Chris Snee or LSU OG Stephen Peterman. They can grab Washington DT Tank Johnson and Cal RB Adim Echemandu in the 4th round (Okla St. RB Tatum Bell will probably be gone by then). They'd be able to grab San Jose St. WR Kendrick Starling and Oregon QB Jason Fife in the sixth round. Then, in the seventh round, they could wrap things up with Syracuse C Nick Romeo, Kansas St. CB Randy Jordan, and Duke OT Drew Strojny. |

Title: Re: Eagles Offseason Report Post by Philly on Apr 19th, 2004, 3:40pm There has been a lot of talk recently regarding the Eagles moving up to the Niners slot (#16) in order to select RB Steven Jackson. For example: http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/99-04182004-284683.html I personally think this is Andy Reid blowing smoke through one of the "unnamed" sources. He loves Westbrook and Buckhalter is a capable backup. Even if Steven Jackson came in this year, his playing time would be limited as Reid doesn't tend to turn his offense over to rookie players. Plus Reid throws more often than he runs the ball. The Eagles really need help on defense and Jonathan Vilma is THE guy they need. |

Title: Re: Eagles Offseason Report Post by Philly on Apr 26th, 2004, 2:55pm For those of you who weren't in the chat room to witness my response to the Eagles draft on Saturday, I'll lay it out for you now. 1st round: Shawn Andrews, OL, Arkansas -Great player. Will compete for the LG position with the trading of John Welbourn. Could eventually move to tackle when Tra Thomas' contract is up. HOWEVER, they gave up too much for him, in my opinion. Trading up and giving away their second round pick (in a deep draft), and then forgoing Vince Wilfork or DJ Williams was not a good move in my opinion. 3rd round: Matt Ware, CB, UCLA -Tall 6'2"+ and athletic. A Bobby Taylor type who can also play safety. Good selection. Could be nickel back this season if Eagles don't sign a veteran. 4th round (1): JR Reed, S, South Florida -Excellent player. Hard hitter, great speed. Will probably be the kick returner in 2004. Not a position of need, however. 4th round (2): Trey Darilek, OL, UTEP -Didn't know much about him. Appears to be a good, underrated player. A good selection at this point. 5th round: Thomas Tapeh, FB/RB, Minnesota -Possibly the top-ranked FB prospect also can carry the ball and catch it out of the backfield. A solid pick in the fifth round. Will be a good goal-line and short yardage back who will also play special teams. 6th round (1): Andrew Hall, QB, Delaware -Eagles needed a third QB, and he seems like a decent one. Local college kid who is compared to Rich Gannon (another former Delaware QB). 6th round (2): Dexter Wynn, CB, Colorado State -Smallish CB who might be a punt returner and backup CB if he makes the team. 7th round (1): Adrien Clarke, OG, Ohio State -Rated much higher than 7th round. Great value pick at this point. 7th round (2): Bruce Perry, RB, Maryland -Small, fast RB who was productive in college. Philly kid who will probably just be a training camp body. 7th round (3): Dominic Furio, C, UNLV -Don't know much about him. Probably a project player for the practice squad. All-in-all, the Eagles seemed to stick to their plan of addressing future needs instead of current holes. The offensive line is aging a bit and the team won't want to pay older players the money that they've earned the right to receive. I was really hoping they'd grab a DT and WR prospect since the draft was so deep with both, however, there is a method to Reid's madness... |

Title: Re: Eagles Offseason Report Post by Callie on Jun 9th, 2004, 8:44pm Uh-oh... Eagles | Owens Not Happy With Dress Code - from www.KFFL.com Wed, 9 Jun 2004 11:38:11 -0700 Bob Brookover, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles WR Terrell Owens still wants to wear only tights at practice, according to the Sporting News. Owens showed up just in tights at his first official workout with the Eagles last month and was told by the equipment manager and assistant coaches that head coach Andy Reid has a dress code that required shorts over the tights. "My biggest adjustment isn't the new team or the plays, but wearing shorts over my tights," he said. "What does that have to do with how I practice? I understand having structure, and I guess that is him making a statement. I don't have any problem with that, but it's a big adjustment." ?.?.? |

Title: Re: Eagles Offseason Report Post by Philly on Jun 9th, 2004, 10:34pm Nothing at all to worry about. A few times TO went to Big Red and told him the shorts suck and Andy just chuckled. I think the media wants to make a big deal out of something that really isn't a big deal. The other story coming out of minicamp was that TO complained he didn't see enough balls in the 7-on-7 drills. The media grabbed that and made it sound like he wasn't happy in Philly already. However it also got blown out of proportion. D-Mac said that TO should want more balls thrown his way and he'd be worried if he didn't want them. |

Title: Re: Eagles Offseason Report Post by Philly on Aug 3rd, 2004, 11:05am Well... I visited Eagles training camp on Aug. 2nd and had a great time. Here are some of the general impressions I came away with: QB: McNabb looks great. He is in great shape again and is throwing the ball well. Jeff Blake and Koy Detmer both look good in passing drills. RB: Brian Westbrook is really shining. He is very fast and quick and is catching the ball very well. Correll Buckhalter missed practice with an eye laceration, but should be fine. Reno Mahe will probably be the #3 RB and #1 punt returner. Rookie Thomas Tapeh is a physical specimen. I look forward to seeing him get phased into the offense over the next few years. WR: Terrell Owens is getting thunderous applause from the throng of fans every time he touches the ball, which is often. Owens was the recipient of more than one short pass on a crossing pattern. Greg Lewis looked very good too, showing good speed and outfighting a CB and S for the ball on a deep sideline pattern. Pinkston looks slightly bigger, but did not impress. Freddie Mitchell looked quick and caught the ball well. Billy McMullen didn't do anything to catch my eye (unlike last year). TE: It looks like LJ Smith could take over at TE sooner than later. He made a nice grab on a deep seam route and shows great athleticism for his size. He just needs to consistently catch the ball. Chad Lewis failed to impress. OL: Rookie Shawn Andrews looked fantastic. He is big, but carries his size well. He finishes his blocks. Runyan and Mayberry both looked good. Tra Thomas got beaten a few times (once, really badly by ND Kalu). Hank Fraley seemed to play OK. DE: Jevon Kearse and ND Kalu looked great. Derrick Burgess played well, but not spectaculary. Jerome McDougle did not participate (recovering from a shoulder surgery), instead doing stretching and (lower-body?) flexibility exercises with a trainer. He looked big and slow when he ran. Jamaal Green did nothing to excite. The ballboy in the orange vest who took some reps at DE because of some missing players looked too small and slow to make the team. DT: Corey Simon, while saying he would come to camp, was still missing for "personal reasons". Darwin Walker sat out practice with a hammy and Paul Grasmanis missed because of knee swelling. Sam Rayburn looked good and appeared to really be working to earn a roster spot. LB: Nate Wayne looked great. Jeremiah Trotter and Mark Simoneau were both making plays and looked good. Dhani Jones never caught my eye. DB: Brian Dawkins missed practice with "groin spasms"?! Ouch! Michael Lewis looked very good. Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown were active and made some very nice plays, but were inconsistent. They seemed to be trying hard not to make contact with the WRs (because of rule changes and the presence of refs at the practice on Monday), yet the WRs pushed them around a bit. The depth looked shaky. Matt Ware was out of position a few times. Rookie JR Reed showed good speed returning punts and was very active on the field. PK: Akers was nailing long attempts at a narrow FG stanchion. Punter Dirk Johnson looked good, and backup punter Nick Murphy boomed some really nice punts as well. |

I think Buck is returning to practice today, but I'm not sure. His injury is nothing severe, so it will all be a matter of conditioning with him. He's a legit fantasy back this season. He scored a lot in part-time duty last year and will be used in short-yardage and goal-line situations again this year. Plus he'll also pick up some of the time that Duce left behind. He's a bigger, more durable (supposedly) back than Westbrook, but he also has the speed to break the long run. I'd look for double-digit TDs from him this season, although he won't put up the yards that Westbrook does just because he isn't used in the passing game as much. I'd expect 10-15 carries for Westbrook and 8-12 for Buckhalter each game. But it's still up in the air. |

The D-line is a little banged up still, but it should get better. The player I worry about is Jerome McDougle. He doesn't look good. He is still recovering from a shoulder injury, so he hasn't worked a lot in camp, but he looks out of shape and slow. They invested a lot by moving up in the first round to select him in 2003 and need to start reaping some of that fruit. |

He should add good depth to a banged up line. Hugh certainly isn't the player he was even 2 years ago, however he will be a welcome addition on the field and in the locker room. |

Title: Re: Eagles Offseason Report Post by Chumpzilla on Sep 1st, 2004, 10:03pm And the million dollar question that DB has posed.... who is that "man." Mahe? McCoo? Levens? ( [smiley=hellyeafunny.gif]) [smiley=stars.gif] |

http://www.ffpro.com/teamreports/eagles/eagles-footballinfoframes.htm This was my "take" on it a couple days ago. Levens will get more work than Mahe, but I don't see Levens getting more than 300-400 RuYds and 5-6 TDs on the season, where Buck would surely have had closer to 500-600 RuYds, and 8-10 TDs. Mahe will be used very sparingly (assuming that Levens is still able to play since we're all making assumptions, yet haven't even seen him carry a ball yet this season). |

Title: Re: Eagles Offseason Report Post by Philly on Sep 5th, 2004, 10:32pm Here are the final transactions that got the Eagles down to the 53-man roster: Placed C Dominic Furio on IR; Released RB Dorsey Levens, RB Eric MCoo, WR Justin Jenkins, WR Sean Morey, TE Kori Dickerson, OT Jeremy Bridges, OT Dante Ellington, DT DeMarco McNeil, DT Jon Bradley, DE Ron Johnson, LB Mike Labinjo, LB Justin Ena, CB Brandon Haw, P Nick Murphy, LB Howard Clark A few surprises... Obviously the biggest surprise is Levens. He did OK in his only action during pre-season and could be re-signed if needed. McCoo will probably land on the practice squad, but couldn't crack the RB corps just yet. Sean Morey was a special teams ace last year, but got caught in a numbers game with Greg Lewis playing so well in pre-season. Justin Jenkins is practice squad material as an undrafted rookie. Brandon Haw and Mike Labinjo (also undrafted rooks) will also probably end up on the practice squads. |

Title: Re: Eagles Offseason Report Post by Philly on Sep 8th, 2004, 2:04pm Head Coach (and General Manager) Andy Reid gets a Four-Year contract extension. Ownership loves this guy even if he can't get the team to the Super Bowl. The guy is a success regardless and deserved the extension. |
