Philadelphia Eagles: When You Wentz Upon a Star - Page 20 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Yea thats kind of how I feel about it, the more and more they pile up the less I like this teams prospects in the 2nd half. But we all know the biggest concern is the O-line....what the hell are we going to do there?

Now Hanson suspended 4 games. I just want to give up on this season, something new goes wrong every week.

Also, cornerback Joselio Hanson is not at practice today and a team source said a roster move is pending, involving bringing corner Jack Ikegwuonu up from the practice squad. Turns out Hanson has been suspended 4 weeks for ingesting a diuretic before last season's NFC Championship Game, according to sports attorney David Cornwell.

Oh, good.

when asking if he is a good cover guy, then yes he is atrocious but he has his value to this team especially now. He brings a veteran leadership to the special teams unit that is always needed, and at the same times brings some sort of depth to a position that was already thin before his injury and now this suspension to Hanson.

We are in some trouble right now if Ikegwuono is seeing action. Had this happened a week ago we could have at least picked up Rod Hood...He is nothing to go nuts about but what the hell is out there?

The Hobbs thing really sucks now that Joselio is going to miss four games, but still, Hobbs is awful.

I think I would have rathered not read this.

Head of officials Mike Pereira would of upheld Reid's challange

As Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth pointed out during the NBC broadcast, the fact that the play occurred near the midfield Eagles logo made it easy for the referee to identify the precise spot at which the ball should have been placed in advance of a new measurement, in order to determine whether McNabb actually had earned a first down.

Pereira agreed.

"I think I'd move it," Pereira told host Rich Eisen.

Pereira explained that there was enough evidence on the video to "establish a point" at which the ball could have been placed, in relation to the beak on the bird that has been painted on the grass.

He also said that, without the logo present, the ball could not have been moved. The presence of that point of reference made it easier to re-spot the ball, and then to bring the sticks back out.

Could be a rough week for the LBs

Sounds like Jordan won't play

Philly.com reporting Witherspoon will slide over to the weakside, Gocong in the middle, and Mays at SAM

Why can't we just bring him back for the rest of the season... o-line needs all the help they can get.

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. -- Former NFL player Jon Runyan says he's considering running for Congress.

In a statement issued Wednesday by the Burlington County Republican Committee, Runyan says he believes the country is being taken in the wrong direction by career politicians.

Runyan, an offensive lineman, played 13 seasons in the NFL, the last nine with the Philadelphia Eagles. The 36-year-old is out of football this season, though he's talked to the Eagles and other teams about coming back.

I dont see how he can just step in at the halfway point and produce in time, he says he is in shape but who knows. I guess you can sign him but do you really want him in the game?

In fairness, the refs butchered plenty of calls in favor of the Birds.

I was trying to be pretty neutral. They sucked and made horrible calls for both teams all game.

I wouldnt say it is a mess just yet, I mean we dug ourselves in a hole and we gotta battle back but we most certainly are not left for dead. If we can take this game in SD this week I think we can put a mini run together, Bears then Redskins both very winnable games right there.

This SD game scares me - I dk how the birds can stop them from throwing.

there is nobody behind Brown and Samuel, the LBs are moving all over, and rookie Fokou is starting at SAM. (what does that say about Mays, if they'd rather move Gocong and start a rookie than put Mays in the middle)

Gocong will be the 6th guy to play middle LB this season, lol.

That is insane, we are only halfway through the season to. lol

This is a pretty big turning point for this team I think, a loss sends us into a downward spiral and fingers start getting point etc. A win and we could set ourselves up for a decent run, who the **** knows but I think we get beat after hanging in the game for 3 quarters...

I forsee a loss to the Chargers, much panic, then two easy wins over Chicago and LOLington, and much rejoicing.

I think we crush San Diego and Chicago on the road, everyone's rejoicing, we are #1 in DVOA and in first place...and then we lay another stinker and lose at home v. Washington.

Chargers O-line is pretty bad, especially at run blocking. Game is going to come down to whether the front 4 can dominate on its own and get consistent pressure. I just don't feel good about the shuffle in the back 7 right now, especially against this team.
