laurent Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Ouch. It doesn't say anything about the severity of the injury and when they expect him to be back but you've got wonder if this thing is ever going to heal correctly again. This is a huge blow to the Eagles. Thomas is the only guy on their line that excels against the run. Unless they make a move for Sam Adams they may have a serious problem at their hand. http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/store/onTheInside.asp?

Art Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Thomas is a good run stuffer. Corey Simon should be given his weight distbribution, but, you're right, this type of injury does leave the Eagles in a bit of a bind. In total they still have a better defensive line than Dallas, but, they are close now to having the worst line in the East if they can't get a good patch here. I would expect them to jump into the Adams derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCS:BraveCaringSoul Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 They've got the cap room and ther need. Look for Adams's agent to get a call from the midnite green soon. This could be bad news for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomar Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 run stuffing DTs? The Eagles don't need no stinkin' run stiffin' DTs, thats why they have 14 defensive backs on the roster...individually these guys may not be able to do much against the run, but get all of them together and they are like a pack of hungry corgis...

DeathByLinebacker Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 As much abuse as we give the Eagles for being cheap, it sure is handy for them that they have cash on hand to get a Sam Adams if they want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 yeah, this could actually turn into a negative for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP. Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 I would rather run against Adams than Hollis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 C'mon, just a few months ago the mention of Sam Adams brought throngs of boos from this message board. Now all of a sudden he's fearsome because the Eagles might sign him? Granted, he is a better run stuffer than Thomas, but when he sees that the Eagles are desperately in need of him, he's going to push his demands up to an $8 mil signing bonus again. Who actually believes that the Eagles will shell out that much cash? They'd rather lose than spend big bucks on a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 It would be a good move for the iggles but I expect Sammy to stay in B'more on grass and not that stuff in Vet stadium now that they have some cap room available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy-the-Greek Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Does anyone really believe the Eagles are going to fork over the dough needed to get Adams? Laurie is so damn cheap, when he opens his wallet the presidents blink and squint there eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
