Slap Runyan back at RT and move Andrews back to guard until Herremans is healthy.Andrews > Runyan. Why sign him if Shawn is healthy?You like Dunlap and Justice that much?Hopefully neither. Unless Andrews gets hurt again.

Then what? Put Runyan on the bench after the bye? RT is far more important than LG no? I would feel better with Cole at LG and Andrews at T than Andrews at LG and Runyan at RT.Slap Runyan back at RT and move Andrews back to guard until Herremans is healthy.Andrews > Runyan.

heard if they sign him next week then his contract goes week by week as opposed to being commited to the whole year if they sign him now.

I'm kinda hoping they bring in Draft for a look.

Correct. Given the latest with Andrews, I'd figure Runyan will be back next week.heard if they sign him next week then his contract goes week by week as opposed to being commited to the whole year if they sign him now.

This is a weird situation. I know backs can be tricky but he has not played since last year. There has to be some type of diagnosis that would be causing this long of a pain problem.

I would be
if that happened.As a Eagles fan, this hurts and I really wish Vick could play next week. I have no faith in Kevin Kolb and think that picking him was a wasted pick. Without a doubt, IMO, they need to spend a 1 round draft pick this year on a QB.Regarding McNabb and his history of injuries, I think he's a good case study to show that certain players ARE injury prone. I can't tell you why but certain players just get hurt more often. I know that many don't like the phrase injury prone and don't believe in it but it's so true.

Yesterday's performance overshadowed by McNabb's injury IMHO. I think people talking about his possibly playing this week are missing the point. Sure, he can play this week or next. Why? Because there's nothing they can do to make him feel any better. THAT is the problem. McNabb for the rest of the season is going to have to either play through pain or sit out. And seeing as how he's a veteran on a contending team, I'm sure he's going to try to play through the pain. But the idea that he'll be as effective is foolhardy. And more to the point, every time he takes a hit to the midsection it's going to feel like someone ran him through with a rapier.

Broken bones heal in a month or two. Wearing a flack jacket is not going to change anything as far as throwing the ball. He may hurt and may run less, but that's all. Not saying he's a shoo-in to play this week or next, but dude has proven to have a high pain tolerance.
Jason Wood

Hope you're right. B/c this could be a special team if he doesn't miss too much time.
Pyscho Wife

As much as it sucks, I'd rather him miss a couple of weeks and come back healthy, instead of playing hurt most of the season.

The rib injury and pain from it is going to affect his throwing. We've discussed Mcabb's accuracy once or twice
so I think it will be an issue for him at least in the next few weeks. At least we got an early win in the books and the D and ST seem to be playing well (or maybe that's more on Delhomme). May be better to sit him next week and if that's the case sit him one more week against KC then he'll have the bye to rest as well and that would give him a full month. Not sure exactly how rib injuries heal though.

Yeah but he has thrown four touchdown passes on a broken leg before. I'm not saying that this is the same or that he will be as good, but we have seen play through pain before. I think he can handle it. The good news is that yesterday proved this is a good team. If McNabb sits, I believe that Westbrook will be the focal point just like in '06. We will be down a play-maker, but I still have confidence in this team.

So what 2010 1st round picks do the Eagles currently have and what top QB's will be out for the 2010 draft?

I'm inclined to agree. We should be able to beat KC regardless of who's playing quarterback. As for NO, well, I guess we'll get to see how good our defense really is.
Ridiculous statement.Let's see a 340 pound lineman come at you WITH HIS KNEES LEADING to your ribcage and see how you hold up. I don't care who the QBplayer was on that particular play...his ribs were gonna be broke.Pyscho Wife said:I would bezadok said:if that happened.As a Eagles fan, this hurts and I really wish Vick could play next week.

Still can't believe this hasn't gotten more attention...hits like that on prone players go generally un-noticed, and I don't understand why.

Against the Saints, we are going to have to score in the high 20s at least to have a chance. I have zero confidence that Kolb can lead 3-4 TD drives. Garcia, however, can do it. As much pride as they have to swallow, they have to act on the fact that their 1st pick in 2007 is not good enough to win games. Garcia is a proven winner and deserves to start Sunday and for as long as McNabb is out.

Ladies and gentlemen, Winston Justice!!!Garcia signed, Shawn Andrews to IR.
When do they sign Runyan and cut a receiver?

As I said in another thread, I think they are holding onto 7 receivers because they think sometime this season someone will need a receiver and they can trade either Reggie Brown or Hank Baskett for a draft pick. While no one is going to trade for Brandon Gibson, they know if they cut him that someone will pick him up right away.How do you think the Eagles would use a unicorn? on offense or defense?phillyphan07
Footballguy
I don't know the specifics of the PUP list (for example, does a player need to go there before the season starts?) but doesn't the IR seem a little harsh given what we know about Andrews? The reports have been that his back "flared up" but putting him on the IR sounds like he needs more surgery....
zadok
Footballguy
Has to be before the season and you cannot have practiced even once. They had to keep him on the active roster or IR him.

During one of the games last night, ESPN's ticker mentioned the Garcia signing and said the Eagles were actively trying to trade Baskett to accommodate.At this point, looks like they wouldn't cut a receiver unless they had an opportunity to sign a unicorn.Ladies and gentlemen, Winston Justice!!!Garcia signed, Shawn Andrews to IR.When do they sign Runyan and cut a receiver?

Yeah, but then they IR'ed Andrews so looks like they didn't have any takers.During one of the games last night, ESPN's ticker mentioned the Garcia signing and said the Eagles were actively trying to trade Baskett to accommodate.At this point, looks like they wouldn't cut a receiver unless they had an opportunity to sign a unicorn.Ladies and gentlemen, Winston Justice!!!Garcia signed, Shawn Andrews to IR.

If the team cannot trade Reggie Brown or Hank Baskett, which would they cut? It seems they spent the whole offseason offering Brown and got no offers so now are offering up Baskett. I know Baskett is meh as a WR, but he is worth something in special teams. Reggie Brown right now is just worthless. Is there any $$ reason that will make them keep Brown? Just really hoping Brown will go join FredEx in neverland.
Also, is it too pessimistic to start the Saints DST this week against Kolb? Oof.

Right, but assuming their report is accurate, it looks like Baskett is the guy they want to deal. Which I'm guessing they will still try to do and then get another tackle, whether it be Runyan or someone else we aren't aware of.I'd be shocked if they were done here, unless they want to wait until they cut Garcia to fill in o-line depth.

That would entail the FO admitting they whiffed on a high draft pick. Remember how long Matt McCoy stuck around?
