OWUeagleMD Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 this dosent make sence why would they do it He hasn't played in two years and has displayed no interest in doing so every again. The question is, what took so long? What a wasted talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 1st, what's up OWU? 2nd, per Reid, they chose to finally go in a different direction. They seem to be clearing alot of money up for something. it's making me really nervous....something is aobut to happen.....what do you think?

They seem to be clearing alot of money up for something. it's making me really nervous....something is aobut to happen.....what do you think? I'm not reading too much into it. I think they just figure, like the Redskins, that one benefit of an uncapped season is cutting toxic assets without penalty. So long to Witherspoon, or Simmoneau V 2.0, so long to Shawn Andrews, so long to Reggie Brown, so long to Brian Westbrook (no hard feelings, but the number finally came to exceed his value). I wouldn't be surprised to see Kevin Curtis go the same way shortly. If someone offers a 1st round pick for McNabb, I think they'd jump on it. That doesn't seem like a likely scenario though, and trading him for much less doesn't make much sense. The most likely scenario, in my mind, has them standing pat until the draft and looking to trade up for Earl Thomas. If they stay at 24, I could see OL, DE, S, or CB. I don't expect them to shake things up all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 My gut says Thomas also. He fits the team, but I have a feeling that if he is gone, they may trade out (again) and take Mays and an OLB in the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Maurkice Pouncey I've been fantasizing about getting young at DE, S, and OLB all offseason, but I wouldn't be able to argue with their drafting Pouncey. Or, for that matterm Iupati, if they moved up a little. Still, I'm tired of the unathletic, pedestrian defense I saw last year. They need athletes at those three positions.

I've jumped on the Weatherspoon bandwagon. The rumors during the 2007 draft were that the Eagles wanted Beason and all the info I've read is that Spoon could be Beason 2.0... But, with the release of Andrews and the injury to J. Jackson, I could see Pouncey as the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Is he currently healthy? Did he miss last season bc of depression or injury? He missed last year after undergoing surgery in August. He then had a second surgery in December. It was assumed that the Eagles would wait until training camp to see if he was healthy from that December surgery, but it appears they decided to pull the plug preemptively.

pjfootballer Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Maurkice Pouncey I think he's more 2nd round projected. I'd love for the Skins to get him with their 2nd rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWinzit Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Stay away from Iupati! He's gonna be a Cowboy!There may not be any sure thing in the draft but both of your teams need to go for a riskier pick. Besides Dallas must be due to burn some more high picks on OLB and DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
