MikeB Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Just saw it on local channel 6 that the Eagles either have or will be (I couldn't hear the broadcast clearly) looking at Alexander. Oh boy...:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coloradoskin Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 They need to be looking for a good QB not a RB !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I hate to say it, but if they sign Alexander and actually use all of their cap space for once, they will win the SB next year. They will have to throw the ball less but that is a small price to pay i'd wager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Adama Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Umm, who wouldn't be? I'm surprised Gibbs isn't at least interested in him. He fits the Riggo mold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSteve Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Alexander is soft. However he would fit right in with the Eagles. Great regular season and dissappearing in the playoffs:) And for those who say we signed our RB a year early and should have had him. We were in talks with Seattle(reportedly) about Alexander for Baily. We ended up going after Portis though, and I'm fine with that. I don't thinkt he Eagles getting Alexander automatically garuntee's them a super bowl though, and if they sign him just where does that leave Westbrook? Are they going to just use him as a WR?

TenaciousB15 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 If the eagles brought in a big name back, Reid would have to commit to running the ball more. Which would be a good thing. But Westbrook would be gone next year becuase it. No team gets two good backs for long. The other guy always wants to be a starter somewhere.

I don’t know how a guy who’s rushed for 5937 yards and 62 TD’s in 4 years can be considered “soft” :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys were in a similar situation with Duce, B-West, and Buckhalter, but Duce left and Buckhalter's a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles_Legendz Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Originally posted by HeHateMe A voice of reason. P.S. EL, I will be PMing you about something. Super secret codes! The Eagles, for all their space under the cap, don't have the money to sign S.A., franchise Simon, sign draft picks, lock up Trotter/Burgess, and I can't imagine them letting Westbrook go in favor of a "power back" considering Reid doesn't run the ball.

laurent Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Alexander would be an awesome fit for the Eagles offense. Whether Reid would end up using him properly is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By then, Alexander will be long gone. Back to Seattle, most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsk58417 Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Originally posted by laurent Alexander would be an awesome fit for the Eagles offense. Whether Reid would end up using him properly is another question. Hard to agree here. Why? Reid likes a "3 headed" running attack. If Reid calls "Run" at all. I can't imagine an everydown back like Alexander getting his carries cut in a 3rd. Factoring in also that acquiring Alexander is going to take $. Most likely? An incentive based deal. If Alexander isn't getting touches, he won't be a happy camper, and we all seen what he is like when the rushing title was at stake.:mad: It's just not making sense for the money.

Hooper Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Can't see this happening. The Eagles have gone to NFC Championship a couple years a row and now the Super Bowl -- why would they want to completely retool their offense? Sure, they could use a power back for certain situations, but Westbrook is too good to simply discard for Sean Alexander. They'd be better off trading for someone like Ruben Droughns and mixing things up with him and Westbrook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarhog Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Ohhhh. Now I get it. I just figured that they had a little extra time on their hands now and wanted to celebrate that 'warrior spirit'..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
