Eaglescap.com pageReggie Brown....$5,838,707 in dead money if cut this year. Salary hovering around $3 mil per year.
Too bad the draft day trade with Andrews that DH told us about didn't go through... Maybe the FO knew this would be a problem?
I hear he was really broken up over SwayzeWow, Andrews to IR
For a guy everyone insisted was fine, this is a move that speaks volumes. I can't help but think this is as much about Shawn's ongoing confidence/depression/fear issues as it is something physically debilitating. Putting him on IR to make room for Jeff Garcia, to me, signals we're probably done with him as a starter on this team now and forever. Anyone else wonder if this kid will ever play again? I think it's gotten to that point.
I'd be very surprised if he ever suited up as an Eagle again. Whether he has a bad back or is mentally unstable he obviously has an issue with being a football player I think. He's a guy that has enormous football player skills and talent but maybe in his mind he just really doesn't like football.Wow, Andrews to IRFor a guy everyone insisted was fine, this is a move that speaks volumes.

Thanks for sticking with us DH.
Amen.Thanks for sticking with us DH.
Ummm, OK. Both are headcases but only one tried to destroy the team.
Anyway. The unicorn comment was And if they really want to clear a roster spot, how about cutting Clemons already? Afraid to admit a mistake again? He barely makes the team last season after getting $$$, gets outplayed by Babin in camp this year and only gets heard from when he jumps offsides on a punt. A PUNT! How about not giving out free 1st downs. 
I would be too, wonder if they IR'd him because he'd be a substantale cap hit or if they are going to try and trade a draft pick for him.
This.Thanks for sticking with us DH.
They took Vick off the reserve list this week so he could practice. That means either they don't expect McNabb back soon, they have no confidence in Kolb, or both. We're gonna have to score a whole bunch to beat New Orleans, and, barring an insane D/ST performance like last week, I don't see that happening.
I'm curious, given a week to prep and a whole game to play how he does. Expectations are low, but you never know.
I thought the Reid "week to get reps" was a little lame. I know he was hurt but he just came off of training camp and played in I believe two pre-season games. I think Garcia starts week 3.
I don't think NO scores 30 this week. This secondary is 1000x better than the Lions. The Eagles might not win, but I don't see NO putting up more than 24 unless the Offense is so inept that the Defense can't get off the field. I see a lot of Westy and Shady in NO's future.
Ok then, 25 will be needed. Who thinks Kolb can do that?
thanks for the infoThanks for sticking with us DH.
No. But they could have kept him reserved until Week 3, and I think that was the plan until McNabb got hurt. Taking him off the reserve list now indicates they want him to be ready to play a significant role in Week 3, in case Kolb is a total bust.
I'd sign Garcia before either of the other 2
Yes...I do. The Saints pass rush is nothing special. Protect Kolb and it won't matter because there are plenty of weapons and a ton of talent around him. Kolb won't win this game...it will be on Westbrook, Jackson, etc. All Kolb should have to do is NOT lose it.
the saints special teams were the problem moreso than the defense. they had lapses in both kick and punt coverage. the lions averaged 27 yards per punt return and 36 yards in the returns. while the eagles did even better last week against Carolina in those stats, this is still a team that - in recent years - hasn't really distinguished itself in either category. they've always been middle of the pack in those stats. you had better believe that the special teams play will be a point of emphasis for NO. the coverage should be better. their own return game should be better too. the box score doesn't tell the whole story. the defense played much better than people think. the only td detroit had in the first half came on a drive that started at the NO 13 yard line. beyond that, detroit was held to a field goal. there was only one legit drive that the lions mounted for a TD and that happened because Calvin Johnson was covered by a rookie CB - on his first play of the year - for a long reception. even at the 3 yard line it took 5 tries before detroit could punch it in. if NO's special teams are better this week then it's going to be that much harder for the Philly offense to sustain lengthy drives.Mighty Mice said:
Guess the coaches hated the Carolina film on Stacy...seems kind of knee-jerk to me. At least he's not injured! Doesn't seem like he moving to Tackle, just got demoted...
So much for the Andrews brothers on the right side...
I think he will turn into something good, but I avoided him in redrafts this year. Jackson and Curtis are the starters, and Avant is the go-to guy on third down. Maclin will get the occasional play called for him, but he won't play a huge role early on unless there are injuries. Also, Reid doesn't like to rely on rookies. Jackson last year was an exception necessitated by injuries. In redraft, I'd probably rather have Britt. In keeper/dynasty, I'd rather have Maclin.
I've seen a few articles about it. Most comparing it to what happened to Brady last year and how new rules were created for it.Once that ball crosses the goal line, play should be over...same as going out of bounds. NFL is more concerned with players celebrating in the end zone than if they get hurt. Sad, really.
I actually started a thread on this a week ago. The NFL has always been slow to penalize for late hits when a player is on the ground. Generally, they only call those hits when it's ridiculously late or spearing. Every game, you'll see defenders hitting RB's who are already down............
.
Really wasn't expecting that either, maybe Andy's trying to set the tone for the potential Vick threat to have the other coaches gameplanning overtime. I think the first time they ran out of it I wasn't paying attention to the formation and was thinking... man, Kolb looks fast.
Mentioned to my friend at the game that they needed to throw out of the wildcat once or twice (safely) to at least keep the threat alive and the D off the line a little. Shortly after that was the ugly Westbrook toss / near turnover and I think they got away from the wildcat after that.
Unfortunately that's typical. He played better than I expected but still not great. Hard to say too since they got behind and played catch-up all day so it kind of changes the game plan. Interested to see how he does against KC. Of course Vick will keep running in and out to do his little "Wildcat" thing and destroy any rhythm the QB gets.
I've been saying it since before we signed him. Over-rated. He tries to make the "big play" every time. And he's just not that good. He's good but not great and he thinks he's great. He's not a shut-down corner and every time we let him man up on a stud (like Fitz) he's going to fail.
I don't tihnk you're in the minority at all here. Kolb did not cost them that game and actually played pretty well until the special teams let them down. I don't think there is any way McNabb changes the outcome of that game.
Did a quick search on the play by play on NFL.com, probably missed a couple...(ETA: Like the razzle-dazzle reverse flea flicker incompletion? Not sure if that started out of the WC. Also not sure if these were actually from the "wildcat" or just non-standard formations. For instance, that one run with 6 split out wide, 3 to each side)
8 Plays - 7 runs for 45 (6.4 ypa) - 1 Incomplete Pass
