Foles And Eagles Come Back In Second Quarter
BREAKING NEWS, Eagles, General News, News Thursday, December 13th, 2012
In the second quarter, the Eagles dominated the football game. They started controlling the Cincy offensive line and forced the Bengals to turn the football over twice.
The Birds offense changed things up on the Bengals by faking a bubble screen outisde. Foles did a nice job of pump faking the screen, then he got the ball deep to Jeremy Maclin, who had opened up behind the Cincy secondary.
A few plays later, Foles got the ball to wide receiver Riley Cooper on a well designed play against the Bengals zone defense in the red zone for a touchdown. The Eagles wide receivers were in a bunch formation and it opened things up for Cooper at the goalline.
On the next defensive series, defensive end Brandon Graham did a nice job on a pass rush to force a fumble. Graham is coming off the corner with some authority and quickness.
The Birds had a nice play for the Bengals with a fake quick screen, then a screen to other side to Bryce Brown. He got the first down on the play. They weren’t able to get into the end zone after that turnover, but were able to tie the game up with a field goal.
The Eagles defense was able to get after Cincinnati by forcing a holding penalty and veteran defensive end Trent Cole got a sack on third down to force a punt. Foles and company weren’t able to do anything with the football, so they punted it back to Cincy.
At the end of the half, Eagles defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins came around on a pass rush game and knocked the ball out of the hands of quarterback Andy Dalton. The fumble was picked up by Eagles defensive end Darryl Tapp.
Foles and the Eagles offense weren’t able to get the football into the end zone, so Alex Henery gave them the lead with a field goal. The young quarterback was 12-24 in the first half for 145 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.
I like the way he took care of the football and didn’t try to force the ball into a bad situation. When there was something there he let the ball go. If not he hung onto it.

Play of the Game
Late 3rd Quarter and still ahead 13-10 after the Bengals made the Interception
Bengals have the ball, and receive a 10 YArd Holding Penalty making it
2ns and 20 Yards to go from about mid-field and they run a delay-draw play in which D Ryans failed to protect his gap )(middle of the field) and RB Green rumbles for an 18 yard gain right up the gut, then 3rd & 2, Green runs up the gut again for a 1st Down… Up to the Point the Eagles DL was playing their Best Game of the Season by far, but you sense the air popped out afterwards
QB Dalton runs a 12 Yard QB keep where again the middle of tehe field (Ryans/Kendricks) were no wehere to be found and Kendricks gave a real half-assed effort for an tackle attempt at the 2 yard line which then Put Bengals up 17-13 and then the subsequent Turnovers by Bryce Brown (Who won’t make an NFL Team until he proves ball security) and then the Kick-off Fumble by Thornton and then game is over within 2 minutes over..
I’ve stated, that both Ryans/Kendricks show up well on the Stat sheet with many tackles, but where are the tackles being made — 6-8-10 yards down the field.. both players are leg heavy and look spent to me.. Why not rotate in MAtthews,Jordan and Rau to give these guys a rest here in there
Ryans playing his 1st full 16 Game Season since 2009 (due to injuries in 2010 and missing lots of 2011) and KEndricks in his Rookie Season where in COllege, you season is over in mid-late November and has hit the Rookie Wall.. Again, poor gam eplanning and worse is the being flexible during th game to see whats working scheme wise, what players are pooped and spent and how to react in a game-time scenario.. This has always been Coach AR’s biggest weakness and failure as a Coach, He and his Staff have a game plan and they are unable to deviate and make real-time adjustments which is a reason his Record is 68-59-2 since 2005 who is simply Average
* going to be successful
I don’t think Foles even played that bad as some of you think. I mean did you expect him to throw for 400 yards this time…
The bengals defense is no joke…I would actually like to see Foles play with Shady in the backfield. Or maybe even his actual WRs and TEs and starters across the LOS like Vick did but obviously we will have to wait to next year for that..
2 dropped Tds in the redzone
2 fumbles by his WRs on drives
Fumbles on Kickoffs
I mean seriously get a fucking clue, how is any QB suppose to get into any rhythm with that…Foles looked like a solid rookie to me last night which is exactly what he is this year.
Foles was bad — stop suppressing reality, his fumble and interception were 100% unacceptable –
you can still want Foles to continue to receive playing time to learn but don’t substitute Foles bad play with… wasn’t his fault drivel
Eagles0…Nope, if anything my post was based on nothing but reality. I never said the dude looked All-Pro or great or anything like that. i said he looked like a solid rookie…which he did! Whats not reality is some of the expectations some of you have when it comes to him. You see I expect to see rookie games out of him..others want him to look like a top 10 QB every game when thats not reality for any rookie. ON top of it, this entire season will be hard to even judge him on accurately since basically every starter is out right now. It will be nice to see him actually play with the actual team instead of one consisting of just backups everywhere.
pheags, I completely agree with you. Eagles number one RB, WR, and TE are all out. He’s playing a makeshift offensive line and he is a rookie. Nobody is going to be successful under those circumstances. Everyone needs to get a little perspective. I realize everyone’s fired up right now and looking for someone to point the finger at but I don’t think Foles is the problem right now.
The QB is not the problem, we talk about this everyday on every post, the problem is the second Foles does anything good here come the negative Vick comments but of course nobody will admit it. Then when Foles makes a mistake here come all the negative Foles comments or the preemptive well he’s only a rookie or your comparing him to a ten year vet. Guess what if they keep thinking down at the Novacare center that the QB will fix it all, this team is going to be bad for a long time
LMAO clay harbor is not much at all of a drop off from celek.. and desean jackson has 3 catches a game.. Its the offensive line… Vick is good and Foles could be one day This team has far more worse problems than quarterback. its too young , they dont play together and the play calling sucks. Not to mention they fired the the best coach on the team.
By the way everybody calling JH out and that other guy, you have no idea how some of the things look that you post on here, we can go back over everyone’s posts and call people out for being racist.
No you can’t! You won’t find any racist, ignorance, spewing from me & many others on here. I defend against, what is right, or wrong, not color, religion, nor creed. Some people can’t look beyond their own race, & can’t deal with reality & facts, & when they don’t get their way, or someone differs from their outlook, the race card is immediately used. Go defefend, & excuse those 2 ignorant, racist, retarded trolls, all you want, but their comments, ignorance, shallow minds, & stupidity are well documented! If you can’t see they’d rather root for their false idol Vick, than root for the TEAM to succeed, you have ZERO reading comprehension. The 1 JO openly hoped for Foles to break his leg, get concussed, & made every racist, white vs. black comments, he could, & the other retarded, dickbelt, fraudulent fan, condoned & agreed with him. So WTF are you talking about?!? I’m an Eagles fan, & want them to win, regardless of the QB. The Vick experiment has past its expiration, & its time to move on. Whether it’s Foles, Flacco, a trade, another draft pick, we have to find out. Would we know how great Brady, Young & Warner were, if their teams stuck with Bledsoe, Montana & Green? When it’s time, it’s time! Has nothing to do with race, nor color!
@DCAR – and you are just a minute percent of those that may not be racist…don’t go getting all defended if the comments made by JH and EaglesinOak don’t apply to you…Fact of the matter there are some cats on this post that should take notice of those comments…because there are ton’s of stereotypical race related shit stated on this thread by many….including myself. (in regards to IrishEagle being a drunk, Vinnie being a cross dresser, because he speaks to grown men (strangers) on the phone… racist, I don’t know if I would take it that far, and speaking for myself, I know I’m not racist)
but as I’ve always said, I don’t think its racism between the Eagles fans, its simply prejudices….prejudices they have about a certain type of QB, certain type of system….certain type of WR…yada yada yada
But I commend JH for speaking on the matter.
eaglesinoak was trolling last night looking for attention = don’t get sucked into a fool’s vortex
@Dcar I really must commend you. Time and Time again you cut through the Bullshit on this website and state the truth. The goal of any real Eagles fan should be to get that Ring. QB is the most Important position in ALL of sports. I am sick of all the racist bullshit though about it. Fact Is If Vick was anything Like Brady or Peyton we wouldn’t be having these arguments or discussions. We would all be saying lead us to the promised land Mike. We aren’t though so let’s be adults and Eagles fans and find us a QB that will lead us there. There will always be troll idiots I guess. Makes it very frustrating to post here.
@DCar wishing injury on someone makes them an idiot not a racist and if you call them out call everyone out now comprehend that.
Like Brady how? play adjustments? I may give you that. But you also have to remember, coaches normally give a QB a pass and a run audible. You guys see Foles change 1 or 2 plays and say he can read a defense. Vick has done the same and its missed only when he made a mistake were the majority of you guys watching…. put a stat on here yesterday, that showed majority of Brady’s completions come under 10 yards…accounting for over 2000 yards. There is nothing special about it…Patriots run a controlled safe offense. With the RB and slot WR being focal points. Do we also fail to mention the strength of the rest of the team? Denver’s defense is much better than our’s this season. Special teams too. O line too. There are way to many of you that don’t consider all factors when it comes to 7…but consider all factors when its comes to 9. The game last night, was just like the majority of the games the Eagles lost last season, where other players besides the QB was turning the ball over. But it was all 7′s fault. Same happened yesterday, it was everyone’s fault but Foles….Even this article trying to give some praise from one mediocre quarter from the QB. I mean really, a quarter where the defense got 2 TO’s and put the Eagles directly in field goal range and only came away with 2 points.
Not saying 7 would of got the ball in the end zone…but I know had he played and not put the ball in the end zone we’d be talking about the Eagles should of had 21 points in the 1st half, which would of gave them a nice lead and forced Cincy to change their game plan a tad…yada yada yada…yes 7 is a veteran QB, and yes 9 is a rookie…But they both have the same job to do…and both are evaluated on their performance…One quarter is nothing for me to get excited about…its really as simple as that…
*meant came away with 6 points (2 FG’s)
@RealTalk
So play calling is what prevents Vick from being as good as Brady?
Are you saying that Vick would have three rings if he played for NE in place of Brady? Would Vick have thrown 50 TD’s in one season like Brady if the Falcons and Eagles had run a controlled safe offense? You do know that Vick has not thrown 50 TD’s in any two seasons combined, right?
Would Vick have passed for 5235 yards in one season if he got to throw more short passes to his RB like Brady? You know that Vick never threw for 3400 yards in any season, right?
Or maybe if Vick played in Denver where there’s a good defense he could get 30 TD’s in a season for the first time in his career. Or maybe he could get 20 TDs/season two years in a row for the first time in his career.
Some fans should come to grips with the fact that Vick was never a good QB. It’s not just a recent thing, he always sucked.
Another dumb ass who lacks comprehension skills…When did I ever say the play calling alone helps Brady…There is more to football than just play calling…I’m saying there are more variables as to why Brady is successful and it is not him alone…do you understand that? His win/loss record has nothing to do with his defense having a bend but not break approach. Or solid special teams play. Or a better O Line. The fact that more than half his passes are 10 yards are shorter doesn’t help a QB out either…Having a good slot WR doesn’t help a QB out, right?
Again, put down the jack and re read my comment again.
Gentlemen as Bill Parcells once said you are what you are…He was speaking about teams and records, but the same apply’s to players. There are few and far between special QBs in the league. No matter what the circumstance Mike has never been able to bring his game to the top level for more than a few games. That’s a fact. What also is a fact is as Eagles fans we need to face facts we might be bad till either Foles gets better and gets help or we get another QB and get them help. Unfortunately this isnt gonna be a quick fix. My only fear is I dont wanna become the Redskins or Cowboys and have decades between playoff wins.
larrwd, good points as well. Although I think he’s a good bit of a drop off from Celek; neither of which are top tier TEs.
The QB is not the problem, we talk about this everyday on every post, the problem is the second Foles does anything good here come the negative Vick comments but of course nobody will admit it. Then when Foles makes a mistake here come all the negative Foles comments or the preemptive well he’s only a rookie or your comparing him to a ten year vet. Guess what if they keep thinking down at the Novacare center that the QB will fix it all, this team is going to be bad for a long time
for anyone who wants to believe and write the QB isn’t the problem drivel
stop it
Foles was bad last night, real bad
16 for 33 for 182 yards 1TD and 1 int is not good
The QB is not the problem whether it’s Foles or Vick it’s deeper then that brah.
The main problem is consistency and its far worse then game to game.. The players are too young and cant even be consistent from one play to the next. Vick is not the problem. No quarterback could ever get in rhythm under these circumstances. The best thing this team can possible do is build a massive offensive line with a free agent and a top draft pick.. Then sign vick for less money and let everybody battle it out. Short and simple.. Maybe a big fast strong receiver than can go over the middle.. Thats the best they can do. Anything else would be a waste
There is no doubt that Vick is gone along wirth Coach AR..
Vick has not shown any consistentcy in his 10 Year NFL Career, so why have him around for a rebuild stage of the Franchise..
Eagles should look very close to what the Indianapolis Colts did last Off-Season
which was purge about 20 Players from the Rosters, create a newer,more physical style of play, and get new players who fit this philosophy and schemes of the new COaching Staff.. Of course, Foles is not in the same league as Luck, but the COlts have some good young WR’s,TE’s<RB and their Defense is much improved over the previous small but fast schemes employed by their previous Coaches.. It can be done.. Look at Seattle who has 35 of it 50 man Roster only with Carrol's regime for 2 years or less… Time to purge the AR System which includes all of his Coaches/Asst's/Etc and many of its Players and start anew..
look around the NFC (Giants/Redskins will be the class of the NFC East)
Packers/Bears still the class of the North, Falcons,Saints, PAnthers and Bucs are ahead of the Eagles in terms of Talent and then the best Division from Top to BOttom is the NFC West with the 49ers,Seahawks very young Teams who will contend for the forseeable future along with the improving Rams..
Only the Eagles,Cardinals, possibly the Lions & Panthers as long range rebuilding Teams in the NFC, most of the others are on their way up and or have remained competitive due to Solid Drafts & Front OFfice and Scouting, Solid Development of their young players and of course a Solid Coaching Staff who actually has an Identitiy for their Teams.. The Eagles have none of this and are not going to be able to achieve all this in a single off-season..So it will take 2-3 Off-Seasons with the Proper Staff in Place.. so why bother having Vick around to win what, 1 or 2 more games a Season.. This Team/Franchise is not contending for any legitimate deep, playoff Run anytime soon and that's the reality.. and yeas some of you will say, you can't know what' going to happen in 2014 or 2015, and my repsonse is that , sure, but I bet there are 6-8-10 Teams that are better than the EAgles in the NFC come 2014/2015 just by what I see around the NFC Confernece compared to the work that the Eagles have to do just to compete with todays upper echelon Teams
hard not to like that comment
Vick most likely will be released
the QB position will have a large amount of cash available to upgrade
the new head coach will want to spend that cash on an option – even if foolishly spent on a unnecessary Matt Flynn, as an example
Trent Edwards will probable not be back either —–
Foles can keep any upgrade off the field by succeeding, and right now Foles is not succeeding
thats incredibley stupid. laying out a ton of money on a mediocre qb who got beat out by a rookie… stupid- give foles a year. if he blows you have a top 5 pick next year. if he’s good problem solved.
you don’t foolishly spend a lot of money on a ‘franchise qb’ who blows… thats one of the reasons we are in this mess in the first place!
look at the bad teams and spending money on terrible qb’s.: eagles, cafdinals, oakland, KC, jets– DON’T DO IT!
Trent Edwards is under Contract for the 2013 Season so He and Foles will be at Camp with probably a young QB to learn and groom..
Again, a lot will depend on who is running the Show
Remember my buddy Tom Donahoe who will become the VP of Football Ops was working for the Buffalo Bills and Drafted Edwards in the first place..
My Fear is that Donahoe for familiarity and comfort will offer the HC Posiotn to his close friend, Dave Wannstadt… . Good Grief..
the birds need two more doughnuts to land a top 4 pick
and QB is back on the draft table after that Foles stinker last night
Foles will be a great quarterback, he has all the tools, be patient, great things on the horizon
i’m not there yet. i don’t know about his arm strength
Foles needs to take some Steroids/Arm-Strength Creme/ to improve his Arm-strength.. He underthrew 3 of the Deep passes that I saw pretty poorly..
Had Maclin twice and did not get the ball out in front of him far enough…
Then Again,m Macling probably would have dropped the pass, stumbled to the ground or fumbled it.. but you guys get the point.. Needs to work on his Deep Passes, He has the arm to get there, but his timing is off and he needs to toss it sooner to meet the WR who are running full strde..
i think he is ok on the deep ball– not so much last night but i think he can get the ball out there. my concern is velocity– throwing from the hash to the opposite number– that is the true test and where the real QB’s separate themselves.
Heres what I would do as of now….
1) Hire DC from San Fran.
2) Let Vick walk.
3) Try and add Bowe
4) Get a deal done with DRC
5) Draft day trade for a starting SS- Size over speed please
6) Sign a vet CB and let Nnamdi walk
7) Draft best overall player aval.
Im not going to argue with points we dont know for certainty.. – Foles this point doesnt have great arm strength and perhaps never will .. another reason for him to be a game manager.. Honestly, foles right elbox sticks out when he throws and unless he fixes that he will never have great arm strength or even very good arm strength .. He has average arm strength right now.
Lawwrd I went back and looked at 2012 draft reports… All the experts say a strength of his is arm strength.
Paulman, do you realize foles has been scouted by professionals, picked at prodded over, the arm grades out as a plus, it’s a timing issue, or, if you have played football, sometimes balls are under thrown, over thrown, besides, even if the arm was not a plus, you do not need a big arm to succeed, see joe Montana, and foles will get stronger as he is young, has a big frame to add mass, foles is the real deal, build around him
and sometimes the underthrow is the one that only the reciever can see and get to.
like i said i’m optimistic about him– he’s struggled a bit on sideline throws and i don’t know if it was arm strength or timing. i think he has a huge upside. I’ve said from the beginning i’m hoping flocco
Larwd, all hard throwers stick their elbow out while in the load phase of throwing, its the result of loading the scapula, a sure sign h has plenty of arm strength, some of you guys make up shit just to discredit his promise, if he threw three pics you would be talking about that but, he’s the best quarterback prospect since mcnabb, and If i am correct he will be the best in eagles history
Damn- you are out on a limb there my man… hope you are correct!
Birds first aNd foremost must hire the right coaches to lead a foles led team
Im not speaking about the load phase.. He does it as he releases which is odd.
picture on this thread that doesn’t show that?
cant really tell on that picture..
As far as the the racism philly is one of the most racist cities.. So much different than New York
only speaking for sports .. dont know about anythign else .. but there was an article somewhere how the phillies where the least diverse baseball club .. but now its changed a bit
Larwd you have to go back to the fifties or sixties with that racism concerning the Phillies the picture above shows foles at full extension on release, another indicAtor he’s mechanically sound, his arm pronates
after release like all hard throwers arms do, that results in the elbow sticking out, find something to legit crit him like he sometimes stares down receivers or not that athletic
Im telling you jakedog he is not a hard thrower.. ive seen him throw semi soft on sideline throws and miss deep throws.. and thats just one picture watch the motion in the game… I wish it wasnt true but it is.. I still think he can throw 60 yards.. But there are guys out there throwing 80
MAybe some time in an actual NFL conditioning program will help the kid get stronger…You know he will have some of the best conditioning/strength people around to build him just like all the other rookies will. I mean its just common sense that guys get bigger and stronger in the NFL as time actually goes by.
Except for Djax that is…He obviously stays away form the weight room. probably because he wants to keep his ridiculous speed…would like to see him build up like a Carolina Steve Smith tho
For his size his arm is average.. maybe he can improve maybe he cant .. if its the latter we could get bobby hoying’d
Jake ,
I read up on him too and brought up that Nick Foles as a Possible Draft Choice last December/January by the Eagles when most of you never heard of him
I stated about the Pocket Posie, the Leadership Quality, does not get rattled easily,and can take a hit and a has good NFL Arm, who can make the Throws.. in fact, I had him Rated at the Top of the Tier II QB’s in the 2012 Draft (behind Luck/RGIII but and stated that Foles had more upsdie potential upside at the NFL Level than a Weeden,Tannehill and Russell Wilson
I stand by my evaluation of the guy from las tyear, he jsut needs more reps, work out his mechancics a bit and step into his throws more and the sky’s the limit as long as he has weapons/good game plans and a strong running game to work with
I believe I stated that Foles reminded me of a young Big Ben when he came out of College and that Foles is actually more advanced then Big Ben was when he entered the Pro’s..
He’s a little late getting some of those balls out. That’s a bigger issue I think. That often) comes with experience.
That underthrow Reid says Foles waited too long with his lookoff and Maclin too far down field. Then Foles said ball slipped a bit.
It doesn;t concern me that much because every single scouting report I’ve read says his arm is $$. He’s going to put on 10 lbs of muscle this offesaon as all rooks do. He’s going to be coached to better mechanics over the next 10 years.
We do all realize that going in to this game he was the nfls active leader in passes without an interception (at 169) don’t we?
Or that he was only sacked 1x against the league’s best pass rushing team in the league?
These positives are much more important than any arm issues that can be worked out.
I see that my post struck some nerves. The truth hurts doesnt it. You guys can twist MY words all you want you know exactly what I was saying in that post thats why I received the reaction I did. And all those that gave a rebuttal to my post are the main ones on this site that say the most prejudice/ racially motivated comments on here and hate to be called out about it. Call it the way it is instead of pushing your emotions into every argument. You guys said I agreed with eaglesinoak hoping Foles gets hurt and crap like that, me agreeing with him was not in regards to that (And you clowns know that). What I agreed with was already mentioned in my post. Im not here to go back and forth with you guys about it. What I said is the truth not just my truth. Open your eyes and stop with the Great White Hope mess. Its not about that. This team has had issues dating back to the end of the McNabb error into last year and now this year. The QB was not the issue last yr or this year. The oline/defense and special teams all were all the main issues. And you guys are so sure that Vick is gone, wouldnt it be funny if they were to keep Vick and have Foles and Edwards behind him. Im sure it would upset you Vick haters.. But this is about the success of the team, not anything else. I hope Foles does turn out to be a player for us but hasnt looked good at all except for his game against the Bucs who are a .500 team and even that game he made bad decisions throwing the ball at the other team and fortunately managed not to get picked off though it was in the hands of the defenders.. But we will see. He has alot of growing to do..
JH,
You don’t seem to acknowledge that the same fans that want Vick gone today will hate Nick Foles and want him gone by mid-season next year if the Eagles don’t win. When Ron Jaworski was the QB people screamed for Randall.
When it comes to sports fans there’s very little racial bias, they just want wins. Do you really think Eagles fans would rather lose with a white QB than win with a black QB? If those fan exist I don’t know any.
Jh how old are you, what is your background, because you come off with a lot of arrogance yet little wisdom…
Do you realize that the critics of foles never mention that unlike Vick, foles is a rookie …
Consider this also, unlike Vick last year and a part of this year, foles has played with 4 out if 5 offensive lineman out , no shady, no djax, Vick had Tyne benefit of all of that, but ah, he didn’t get it done because of play calling.
Throw foles behind a rookie o line, no shady, no djax, no running game and the man has the best performance of a quarterback in the modern eagles era.
But you want to float prejudice, the race card, well it ain’t happening , because nick foles is the best quarterback prospect since mcnabb, and once he does the work for which he is envisioned, your sophomoric posts will join the garbage heap of the idiotic, the prejudiced, the racists, the non eagles fan, so gtfo while the getting is good you low trough mother fucker
“but hasnt looked good at all except for his game against the Bucs ”
What does “looked good” mean?
Does he “look good” compared to a 10 year veteran superstar like Manning or Brady – no he doesn;t
Does he “look good”compapred to his 5 game rookie peers over the past 3 years? – yes, he does actually. He compares very well.
Does he compare to other Eagles rookie Qbs? – yes he does, acctually.
So you decide who you are comparing Foles with Johnhart before you go screaming about how everyone who thinks the kid has potential is a racist…..
according to profootball talk possibly Tom Heckert may be released by cleveland .Do tou thimk Lurie would replace Roseman with Hecker
eagle come on guy..Heckert is a damn bum who should not have been hired here in the first place. He was a damn lacky picked by Reid after he brown nosed Lurie and got the real talent pickers Modrak and Marc Ross outta here.
Banner is the one firing Heckert and that speaks volumes because Banner have worked with him for years in Philly.
Marc Ross would be nice or the Joel Patten from the 49ers.
Joel Patten have put together a powerhouse roster in San Francisco.
I also want Rex Ryan as head coach with Norv Turner running the offense.
Draft a want Geno Smith at QB competing for a starting job…he’ll win right out.
2nd round Tony Jefferson or Eric Reid* if he’s still on the board
3rd round The best offensive lineman available
4th the best SAM linebacker available
5th the best offensive lineman available
6th the best special teams returner as a specialist on the board
7th the best tackling special teams player on the board.
We have already seen Lurie aned Donahoe terminate 2 of Andy Reid’s People in at the Director of Dept Levels aof Cimmunications and Marketing over the last month.. Anyone to do with Andy Reid will no longer be wroking for the Eagles
so the possibility of Tom Heckert Returning is not going to happen or even be considered by Lurie & Donahoe during this transition..
You will see people that Donahoe knows and has probably worked with before would be a my guess..
Heckert was a Andy Reid guy which is why Joe Banner will relieve him of his Duties.. Joe Banner and Andy Reid did not see eye to eye on many things and did not have a close working relationship and especially since about 2008/2009 or so which is why Banner put his guy in place (Roseman) to protect Lurie from another Andy Reid fella in the GM/Contracts Role..
