Fletcher Cox was pancaked by David Decastro for a 33 yard run by J Dwyer to the 3 yard line — I’ll trade Danny Watkins and Fletcher Cox for Pittsburgh’s OG David Decastro and throw in a couple of smurfs in Kendricks and Jarrett and a couple chronic IR list players in Graham and Allen to make it happen.

Cowbys TE Jason Whitten ouTr with Spleen Injury suffered in Monday’s Game versus the Raiders.. Appears he may be out 4-5 weeks which is a pretty big blow to the Cowboy Offense with their inconsistent WR’s Bryant and Austin and with a pretty poor and unproven OL. Romo losing his Security blanket..

I think igwenagu might win out @ the fullback position over havilli.I’m concerned about the tackle spots,inside pass rushing,linebacker and safety positions.the Birds could use some depth there

Trade Maclin? Why would you trade a player with such a huge upside and whom you took in the first round afew years ago?To make room for rookies?

Every team has needs.The defending SB champs have a shakey backfield and o-line.The runner ups have reciever questions and a suspect qb. Pats have a suspect o-line. No team is a complete slam dunk hands down dominate at every unit on the field. What needs to be remembered is the areas of concern for the Birds were looked at and addressed in themanner they saw fit. Lets see it in regular seaosn action.

Im banking on a strong start…i was at camp and saw the intenstiy they platyed with durign practice. And media people and scouts comment all the time on how the Birds practice crisp and intense…maybe not crisp everyday…but who hasnt had a crappy day of practice after a good one. Specially in the heat.Injuries mount…nicks and bruised musles.

GMC – look at the last two years worth of rookies right now –

2011 — Danny Watkins starts, Jason Kelce starts, Brian Rolle starts and Alex Henery. RB Lewis – Havili is starting now at fullback (will they keep a FB). Casey Matthews and Curtis Marsh backups on D. Vandervelde is a back up on O.

2012 rookies Fletcher Cox, Mychal Kendricks, Vinny Curry, Foles, Brandon Boykin and Bryce Brown Damaris Johnson.

two very nice draft/UFA years….

Eagles need to Trade WR Maclin and a CB to make room for these Youngsters to play and help address other areas of need..
I agree that LB is still the missing link
MLB Ryans has disappointed me a little bit, LB Cheney is more injured than the team is letting on and probably returned too quickly from off-season Neck Surgery.. LB Rolle has regressed, CLayton has Disappeared and LB MAtthews has improved as well the usual reliable Akeem Jordan..
Eagles should have moved Clayton to SS after the end of last season where he could have prepared physically for the Changes in Positon.. Clayton is not an NFL LB just like JArrett is not an NFL Safety..

Fantastic Draft….You could also consider Myckal Kendricks at the SS Position, and I’d like to see Boykins at the FS. I my opinion G, they still need Linebackers.
