Early last season, I had heard a rumor about Eagles cornerback Nmandi Asomugha going to his car to eat his lunch so he could make some calls on his phone to run his affairs outside of football such as; his foundation, speaking schedule and endorsement deals. He has a team of professionals who help him to manage his off the field life and he talks to them nearly every day.
I didn’t like it when I heard about it because it’s very important that veteran players spend time with their younger teammates. The veteran are supposed to be making sure everybody is on the same page on coverages. A veteran like Asoumgha should be making sure that each young player in the secondary understands exactly what type of receivers they’re going to be facing in the next game.
Asomugha didn’t do a good job of serving as a veteran mentor to his young teammates in the secondary.
Why is this a story? Either he will be out or he will be here it is good to be alone get away sometimes but he played aloof as well just cut the guy. Here is how i see it the Front Office is like you want to play with us Yes or No? and it will be for this amount take it or leave it. No need for Nnamdi to play to his favor your either going to make the money here or elsewhere, it is either that his agent can’t find a market suitable for him at his price range or the eagles dont want to give him what they are asking but also they dont want to lose the 4 mil if they have too
Why is it a story when your prized free agent signing 2 years ago sits in his car to get away from his teamates? Really??
Truth is the guy played on terrible Raiders team and probably acted the same way there…..those guys were all focused on themselves because the team stunk, and had for years. He lived off of a reputation in Oakland, and on a terrible team it was easy to just throw at the weaker CB instead of towards the guy with the big reputation. Here in Philly he was exposed.
It isn’t hard to see that this guy was a selfish player….his on-field reactions to blame others and lack of any off-field leadership is not a suprise….unfortunately for the Birds and their fans. Please cut this guy loose.
We can be critical of Howie Roseman but he is an Accoutant and he is Great with Money thus the reason why we are always tops in the Salary cap year in and year out, yes we want to see results and wins and championships i get that but for the haters or naysayers we need Howie because he knows how to work contracts that are cap friendly and also helping us get other talent, whether it works or we get something of value that is another story an they may not even know how to evaluate talent but at the end it is up to howie to screw the pooch only he can get himself fired Gamble is here an the Eagles Owners have no issue keeping gamble as the new GM and head of personnel decisions.
My man, you are a dope! Between your first comments, or this, I don’t know which is more clueless!
This story doesn’t surprise me either. And I’m not sure i can blame him for it. He is entitled to do as he pleases on his own time. And I’m sure this wasn’t frequent. But i personnely would like to see him cut from the team. To me tackling is a huge part of being a DB and he was flat out horrible at it. And i don’t see him getting any better at it no matter who coaches him.
when the Eagles played Cincinnati and DRC was playing AJ Green not Nmandi, that told everyone that Nnamdi is nothing but an average CB
they blamed Asante for Nmandi’s first year’s awful play
his 2nd year was worse without Asante( 5 int.) who took his big plays to Atlanta for a 7th rounder ——– Howie has yet to be asked by the Ruben Frank’s of the world about that poor decision.
Who cares where he eats his lunch stupidest story of the off season. Now if you want to be critical of him for his play fine. I will say he needed to be more vocal with the two safeties about the constant mistakes made calling coverages. They looked like 4 guys who were communicating in 4 different languages.
His F^#@ING team mates care, dopey! He is supposed to be a leader on a team, & building comradery with them! Not be a selfish, arrogant, introvert, & not bother with them, because you think he’s better than them! How’s about talking to the young secondary mates, & building a relationship, that can help on the field! You guys crack me up, with your cluelessness! Are you that dense?!?
It’s a Story because it shows everyone the self,me first type of personality NNamdi Has which is why I didn;t want the piece of garbage to begin with..
He’s more concerned about “making it” after his Football Career is over with his outside work than he is about playing Football to the best of his abilities which were grossly overrated as I stated 2 Years ago.. I sadi, stay away, stay far away and instead the Eagles tied up major $$$ for a bust instead of addressing the Safety and LB Position and now fast forward 2 years later
the Eagles are still trying to address the Safety and LB Positions..
This Eagles Organization has become a joke
LB has improved as opposed to Safeties new coach new look andy is not the coach
All it tells me is he wanted to eat his food by his damn self and not be bothered. I guess thats a crime of selfishness. Get the hell out of here with that nonsense man.
YES, it is selfish, when you’re the only one not eating with your team mates, & being an introverted, arrogant dickhead! I can tell, you never were a team player of any sort. Probably one of those me, me, me, first guys, that took his ball & went home, when he didn’t get his way! You get the hell out of here, clueless!
Patience Paulman.
Its not a story….if it were a story it should have came out when it was first rumored..yea BigL…I agree…
Everyone is different…I know some people who do not like people talking to them when they eat. Maybe, because the manners of those around them, aren’t so good…talking with mouth full, coughing sneezing etc……certain things turn people off when they are eating…I could imagine a team of football players not have the best eating habits/manners. Where you eat what you eat, is your choice your decision….its funny that you cats are making a big deal about one hour or so away from teammates.
I guess the “we are in this together” there is a different culture with a team than a job
cigar one of the most irritating things to me in life is when I’m interrupted when I’m trying to eat sometimes you need that hour to mentally regroup. This is tabloid reporting at it’s worse what’s next because he ate in his car he’s gay? Hollis Thomas should be ashamed of himself for bringing that nonsense up on WIP especially being a former player.
I never heard gay and I’ve actually been hearing these reports for a week . Point is the dream team had me guys not team guys this just epitomizes it. For whatever reason Namdi has always lost wherever he’s played I have no idea why
He’s played on losing teams and as a CB I don’t know how much he has to do with that remember Jamarcus Russell lol, and I just made up the gay part as an example of stupid journalism like what’s going with on with Manti Teo right now.
Did you guys ever play sports , football, real you sound like some faggot ass pussy, you eat with the team, sorry if a few burps, housingburgers with your mouthful offends you, go play in the band
Jake I played D1 ball at Maryland trust me this is a non story has nothing to do with being a me guy. I bet you 90% of pro athletes don’t eat lunch together. Just another nonsense article trying to stir up the masses.
Right!!!!
And it is a story, an important side line to what we see on the field
The more time you spend with the guys in your unit, the more cohesive a unit you become. Not a big deal, but perhaps one of many little factors for the birds dysfunctional defense. I’m trying to understand how the team was so quick and absolute in cutting Jenkins and Patterson and so far hanging onto Vick and Nnamdi. IMO all should be gone.
EXACTLY!!!!
To an athlete it’s a big deal, huge deal, there s nothing more important in team sports than comraderie, anyone who has ever worn a sweaty jock understands this, but today’s fans, well , because of fantasy football we have geeks, nerds, following sports, football in particular, but they don’t understand the importance of unity, cause they havent been in the fold, years ago they would be playing with erector sets, now they are fans with a gay voice
Jake…you are a loud mouth..you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about…I’ve played sports I am an athlete, it wouldn’t bother me one bit if a teammate didn’t eat lunch with me. If I didn’t have to provide for my family, I’d be trying to play professional basketball somewhere…I’d bet 10K that I’m a better athlete than you…can run faster, jump higher, catch better, shoot better, tackle better, defend better…whatever that is involved I know I can do better than you! Real Talk!
There are other places where players can get comradery by the way. But if I were Nnamdi I’d be eating with my teammates…To eaches own, I’d understand if shit like that bothered a player and I’d laugh about it, crack some jokes…you know, joking around brings some comradery to all individuals, teammates, loved ones, co workers….You sound like a little bitch worrying about where another man eats.
internet jump shooting contests! can’t wait to watch!
someone said later in the post and i agree if it happened once/twice– non story– if it was regular and especially after the finger pointing then it was cowardice on his part and acting like a baby.
Give him lots of “Me Time”. Cut the non-tackling, non-covering, non-lock down
overpaid and overrated guy with a name that annoys when you have to spell or
speak it.
Beautiful big e can always count on you for prose
No way he stays anyway so at this point who cares, He has a 4 million cap hit regardless if we keep him or not, theirs no way they will give him a penny more, if thats the case, he can sign with another team, they can give him a couple million and he gets the 4 million from us, wth him at this point its all about the dollars, hes outta here and good riddance, gotta get rid of all these cancers.
Hey big lion , sorry to interrupt your lunch, but dick vermeil ate his lunch while taking a shit , ewee….
LOL and burned his ass right out.
So you manly men think Peyton Manning hangs out and eats lunch with guys? You dudes haven’t spent enough time on locker rooms to know jack.
Big, I played Youth League baseball, B-Ball, & Football, HS Baseball, Football & Wrestling, College Baseball, & Semi-Pro Baseball for 2 years, in the NASPBA, so don’t give that BS!!!! Peyton Manning used to bring his team mates over for cook outs all of the time, & bought them $#!T every year, because he knew were his toast was buttered! You are clueless, & clearly a selfish me 1st person, by all of your comments on this topic! Sorry my man, just being real here!
DCar I am being a realist because I played sports at a high level in three different sports and by most accounts was a good teammate who still at the age of 50 call most of those guys friends, I guess you were a blind sheep who wasn’t an individual thinker. The guys I played with put it all on the line for each other and we didn’t have to sit and eat lunch together to have that bond. But wait I’m clueless so what would I know.
and you believe namdi put it all on the line? didn’t point fingers and was a good team mate? -Team meals are a ‘something’
Nobody on that defense put it all on the line, that was the issue but hey if they ate lunch together maybe they would have been 12-4 and not 4-12. Geez.
no never said that – and never singled him out as the only player that sucked– i said that team mates should do these things. it is a symptom of the disease the birds had last year.
Big, you are as far as a realist, as they come on here! I’m real, honest & truthful, all of the time! BLIND SHEEP?!? I follow no man, use my brain to think for myself, & have ALWAYS LED, no matter what walk of life I’ve chosen. WTF, is that DUMB comment?!? You’re only real, in your own mind, when it suits you. You are one of the critical apologists on here, that can’t wait to defend, everytime something negative is said! So don’t give me your verbal diarrhea. The dude is an introvert, is selfish, not a leader, a mutt, a fraud, & flat out sucks! There is NO debate here! You are wrong!!!!
DCar good for you, again him eating lunch in his car was why he played so bad and not his declining skills? Talking loud on the internet means as much as Nnamdi eating his lunch in his car absolutely nothing. You have lead you were in the service and were a cop your telling me everybody you came across had the same personality?
Big, stop putting words in my mouth. Something you’re good at BTW! I never said, eating in his F^#@ING car, made him, or his team play bad! ALL of my comments, on this subject, was his selfishness, lack of leadership, the dog in him, & him being an introvert! Also, the idiocy of you guys saying it’s a non-story. It’s a story, that the hacks in this city, didn’t have the balls to report timely! If you don’t think his not associating with his team-mates, didn’t have a negative affect, or impression, on the team, especially with the kids, you are irrationally delusional. If I was an impressionable, young player, looking for guidance, from the so called 2nd best CB in the league, veteran, leader, wouldn’t I want him to spend a lot of time around me, lunch & all, where you can bond easier?!? He even did that $#!T in Lehigh! Stop putting words in everyones mouths, to try to make your baseless, clueless points. You ain’t making sense!
Me, myself, have always taken the young-heads under my wing, to try & give them my knowledge, experiences, lifes journeys, rights & wrongs! That’s why I’m a successful mentor, leader & communicator to troubled youths, a Big Brother, good Father/ Grand Father & successful in every walk of life I’ve chosen!
Bottom Line to me, Asmo is not an true “Eagle”.. He never was and never will be, kick his ass right out to the Airport.. End this Soap Opera and release him.. He does not belong in Philly and does not deserve to Wear the Silver and Green 1 more Day..
What’s a true Eagle paulman? Enough of this crap all these guys are highly paid mercenaries, is Peyton a true Bronco? Is Cutler a true Bear or a Bronco you see how stupid remarks are like that?
Manning played 13 years for the Colts, was RELEASED for cap reasons, in a rebuild mode, & didn’t leave for the $$$$! Cutler was traded & didn’t leave for the $$$$, you numb-skull!!!!! I can see if they left for the $$$$ as greedy FA’s, but they didn’t, so how are they mercenaries? Again, your comments are fact-less, baseless, & clueless!
Oh I see you leave on your own for more money then your selfish but if a team who wantss loyalty decides you are no longer needed then its okay to where another jersey. So is Peyton a true Colt or a Bronco?
WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???? You called them, ALL HIGHLY PAID MERCENARIES! I pointed out, how you were INCORRECT, about Manning & Cutler! You are senselessly, irrationally, idiotic!
Yes I was incorrect in this instance, but you irrational if you don’t know what I’m talking about. These guys will go and play anywhere as long as they can sign a contract. Isn’t is amazing that guys like John Elway and Eli Manning dictated where they wanted to play and it’s never brought up anymore. But hey they are great guys right?
Hahaha! Who said that? Again, pointless, baseless & has NOTHING to do with the topic at hand! I am agreeing with you, that most FA’s are greedy mercenaries. Again, nothing to do with anything! You’re spinning your wheels, in a mud puddle of nonsense! Just stop, PLEASE!
Actually I do expect guys on my team to eat together. I get that Namdi was probably instructed by some life coach to manage HIS time like this in order to maximize HIS time and reduce HIS stress. The problem is that this is all done on OUR (meaning team) time not HIS. If you (Namdi) are more concerned about your side projects than your gig===> EXIT this way!
So all teams that win eat and play together and all teams that lose have players that go off on their own? Regal that doesn’t even work in college and you want pros to sit around and sing songs and share meals together? I have been a competitive athlete most of my life. The atmosphere in locker rooms is something every man should experience but stop believing the crap that gets shoveled thru the media.
don’t talk in absolutes you can’t say ‘all’ of anything. but high paid players isolating themselves from the team is trouble– however you paint it.
imagine if brady or manning did this? or VICK! it would be disgraceful
How do you know they don’t, you think Brady is sitting around eating lunch with the guys everyday?
Ignore me all week and see if I have yopur back on sunday ASSombag
Hollis Thomas is wrong and big lion is right okay, I here you….I here you
Biglion, I dont understand why you and others might have such a problem with this being a story. Just look at the combine. Teams are asking teo if he is gay, asking players if they have girlfriends or if they like girls…That should tell you how much good rapport among players matters in the locker room and on a team. Thats just sports. And as others have noted, these guys put their necks on the line for many of each other, esp in football. Distance yourself from the team and see what happens on Sundays. And as we saw every sunday there was total discord on that defense among the players, which Nnamdi was the prime example of. how many times did that loser point his fingers at others when he was getting burned? These guys didn’t give a shit about one another which is why they are blowing the defense up.
Pheags please don’t tell me you believe that crap, BTW every locker room has its share of loners and idiots that’s how it goes or would you rather have guys like Romanowski beating the hell out of teammates great teammate right there the Raiders were winning games when that happened bet not to many guys were eating lunch with him. Randall and Donovan were winning successful aloof guys remember.
This just goes to show you that Nnamdi is more interested in what he does off the field than what he does on it. Not that its a BAD thing. Nnamdi does great charity work and is a terrific human being……however, his primary duty is football, and it seems like he put his love for the game and the craft that made him the millionaire he is today on the back burner.
does it? is that what it shows us? Maybe he likes to pray? maybe he wants a break?
Honestly…. i get why this is a story but…. seriously…. enough already.
this is the kind of crap that gets talked about when your team sucks and is getting their arsses handed to them. EVERYTHING is a big flipping deal then.
If the birds went 13-3… noone would care.
Honestly guys…. lets just hammer hi for being out of position during the game. Thats enough… trust me.
No Stevo, this is what happens, when the MEDIA, doesn’t have the F^#@ING BALLS to do their jobs, & F^#@ING report it, when it is happening! I’ve been saying this for months now, on here! Some of us on here, do a better job of reporting & informing each other, than OUR local media! I’ve read & reported this months ago, on other sites! It’s hack, ball-less journalism, with the local media, in this city! It IS a story, & SHOULD be brought to light! But I agree it is a little too late, & piling on now! But some of the $#!T some idiots on here saying, that it’s a non-story, & that it isn’t selfishness, from an introverted team-mate, is mindbogglingly, nauseating!
Perhaps Asomugha was afraid someone would steal his lunch again…
BAM! I get it! Good one! LMFBO!
DUDE, I reported this nine hundred times, for months, on here already! Why is everything a day late, & a $$$$ short on here! Report it, when it’s happening! JEEEESH!!!!
Per Sources in Asmo’s Camp,
Nnamdi Assmoguah is coming out with a series of motivational books and video’s titled “Who moved my Chicken Salad”
Look for these inspirational readings/video’s at Barnes & Noble and Starbuck’s
Stores near you .
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I quess Nmandi is a little slow renegociating his contact to Cheap Jeff Lurie’s liking, he instructed his Lurie Lemming press and PR machine to discredit Nmandi Nationally
Geoff Moesher once wrote a don’t feel sorry for Howie and Jeff when Jason LaCanfora was writing an un-friendly piece on their coaching search because they did the same to others many times
————-Well, Here it is
If the National press was writing something about Kendricks or Graham’s behavior essentially off the field without the Eagles leaking it then there would be smoke coming out of Daily News Live Hosts ears protecting the Eagles ( like when McNabb was puking in the huddle)
LMAO….It’s only a story because he played bad…
If he had been balling these last 2 years this story wouldn’t have been mentioned
I’m sure if this was about your favorite player in particular..you would defend his choice to eat alone…
So true Gotta, but be careful you’ll be called clueless because you know bs when you read it. Dude played horrible last year but I guess its because he ate by himself and not because he has declining skills. If he played at an all pro level then it’s not a story. People need to get a clue.
Agreed Big. This is ridiculous. Eating in his car has zero to do with leadership.
I didnt want to chime in on this because this is the shit that I feel, as a fan, is irrelevant.
But, if dude is going to eat in his car so be it. I just think this is the type of behavior he just exhibited all across the board. Arrogant, aloof, fingerponter and lax in his approach to the game. Like Gotta Luv it mentioned, if he played well, this is a moot point. But he sucks, so can his ass!
Can I get a Phillies article sometime in the near future?
For instance, I would love an article in regards to the rivalry Jason Werth is trying top get started with the Bravos and Phils. Doc, Lee and Hamels have all lokked good. Brown is off to a great start and Howard looks to be getting comfortable again. Papelbon is a douche, which we all knew. C’mon!!!
if Brown and Ruf are not a platoon and this is an open competition to start then Brown is out to a big lead
Sure does look like he’s out to a large lead. Swing looks good. I can see Ruf platooning with Brown and Young. D Young is still not healthy and will probbly start the season on the DL. Both, Howard and Rollins were saying that Brown really needs to get a shot at a full time gig this year. Did you happen to see DNL last night? Where Sam Donellon was just bashing Brown about his elongated swing?
I think what this article and many others like it fail to point out is how often he was doing this. If he was eating in his car on a regular basis then it’s kind of a big deal. For those of you who think otherwise, you obviously have not been part of a sports team past middle school or high school. This guy is one of the top paid players on the team and a veteran at that. He’s expected to be a leader. I think eating in your car away from your team can hurt camaraderie and also alienate yourself from your teammates. If it was just a couple times then I agree it’s a non-story.
I think the Birds should go after Darrelle Revis. That is all.
Okay Birdo you want them to cut Nnamdi and I agree they should he cannot play anymore and then trade for a guy who’s middle name is holdout? Just proves my point if you can play people will overlook everything.
Although Revis is intriguing, he represents everything that is wrong with our team. A big name player who is coming off major knee surgery. He’ll be 28 years old when the season starts and he will command a small fortune. No thanks. I’d rather pick up a guy like Keenan Lewis and then draft a young CB in the draft.
the eagles are 4-12 – any risk for a starting corner is worth a try
Howie took a risk on DRC and Nmandi —-
Revis for their 2nd is a no brain-er with the amount of money they have available
they shed Jenkins, Patterson, Babin and potentially Asomugha’s contract on the defensive side of the ball ( only Graham and Ryans are making money on the unit now)
I enjoy kicking the Eagles when they are down (4-12) as much as cheering for them but
Roseman and Lurie have the capitol to bring in major NFL talent this off-season
they have a redo on the entire 2011 Free Agency Season ( everyone one of those bust FA signings is gone and all their money is waiting to be spent again)
every “Drew Rosenhaus ” has to go through Philly, they simple have too much Money to spend to ignore
@DCar, I do the mentor thing as well and have no problems guiding young people and keeping them on the straight and narrow. You lead your way I’ll lead mine we just disagree on this.
Big, if you truly are mentoring kids & teens like I do, you wouldn’t be successful, or get through to them, with your thinking & frame of mind. Try your BS with a troubled kid from the hood, with a single parent, who desperately needs Fatherly guidance, positive reinforcement, a foot in the @$$ & brutal honesty, they’d look at you like who’s this FOOL! I have over 15 years of experience, so give me your nonsense & stoogery about leadeship! You couldn’t lead starving mice, to find cheese, in a cheese warehouse, with your retarded thinking! GTFO, with your bogus $#!T!!!!
DCar I deal with troubled kids in the hoods of Jacksonville Florida 3 days a week and do just fine again you know everything and only your way works so you gtfoh with your holier then though nonsense you sir are a clown.
Claiming to know about everything about everybody from reading a blog.
I’m not perfect, don’t know everything, don’t think I’m holier than thou & never claimed to! Just like someone, when they are proven foolish, & stupid, they through out, immature, factless, clueless, insults! You’re a joke, my man! Loose an argument & act like a petulant brat! You know it all, I’m taking my ball & going home! Grow the F^#@ UP, & take it like a man!
Alex smith is now with the Chiefs.
keep me off the ledge…. chiefs to the playoffs, vick starts 6 games eagles goes 2-4, he gets concussed, dixon comes in to be 1-9… ugh!
More likely Foles stays with the Eagles now.
Rich get richer….SF gets the #34 overall pick in this draft from the Chiefs for mediocre Alex Smith….HEIST!!! Reid got taken….
SF now has #31 and #34 to add to their already ridiculously talented team….
Jott your right about that. Speaking of rich getting richer, PFT is saying that they will likely trade for Revis with all that ammo they have now in draft picks.
SF trading for Revis makes a ton of sense because they are already a SB contending team. For the Eagles, absolutely not, by the time our team gets to that level again Revis will be getting old.
Alex Smith with a pass happy coach seems like a disaster to me.
And a conditional 2nd next year too! LOOOOOOOOL!!!!
Dcar, at least we don’t have to deal with that crazy bastard Reid anymore. Feel bad for them KC fans…
Pretty stupid trade if you ask me…to give up that much when SF was probably going to have to cut ALex Smith eventually. HE was killing their cap and bringing him back would be a distraction for a team that is SB ready. They would have released him or gave him up at the last second for before the draft for next to nothing.
I’m glad his fat, useless @$$ is gone, but why am I getting a sinking feeling, we’re going to be worse off, & Reid is going to win a SB with them? God, I hope not!
reid will take them to the playoffs 5 of the next 6 years .. the eagles will be getting ready to terminate their second coach in year 6… i feel the 70’s coming!
Cant blame the 49ers though. They made out like bandits in this trade. Almost a lock that KC selects OT Luke Joeckel with that 1st pick
can’t call it a heist…. kolb for a second and a ‘pb corner’– that was a heist– actually it just goes to show how desperate teams are for a qb that can keep them in a game and with a chance to win…
Depends on what Alex Smith does for KC, he was playing at a pro bowl level when he was injured. If Andy uses Jamal Charles the right way then Smith will be fine.
This doesn’t surprise me in least and proves what I have been saying for years, Reid wanted no parts of Vick he drafted, gave the qb position to kolb, then was told to play Vick, then Reid drafted foles, Reid leaves, but birds still want Vick
Reid wanted foles in a trade but howie lost the game of poker, so Reid went to plan “B”, you still will not see foles start, it will be Vick for a year, then geno smith or some other quarterback who can run and otherwise suites the agenda laden eagles
how? how does this prove any of that? Perhaps reid called and asked about both Vick and Foles. perhaps neither was free. Perhaps Reid knows Vick is crap now but was in love with him 3 years ago.
jake…. just keep throwing crap against a wall like Pman does and someday… maybe someday something will stick.
The Chiefs are going to suck for a long time…Reid will be fired in 3 years after he finishes 18-30 as head coach
would love to get some action on the over with that prediction!
I wonder if a guy we know named Vinnie has an opinion on Alex Smith & Andy Reid’s QB tendencies ? LOL
Wonder if the Birds could have had the #34 pick for Foles…probably, but Howie “Rat” Roseman said no….
no way of knowing that number 1 and number 2 smith is worth more than foles for christs sake!
Either the Chiefs didn’t want to pursue Foles or the Eagles were firm in keeping him…Possibly the Chiefs thought anything more than a 3rd round pick for Foles was too much…Andy Reid being the man he is and the friendship he has with Lurie, pursuing Foles could have been a little smoke screen to help assess his value around the league. It also may be true that Kelly really wants to work with Foles.
Alex Smith is not worth 2 high second round picks, no way! But even though he may not be worth it, with that running game and that pretty solid defense I see improvement from the Chiefs in 2013…Smith is a step up from the Chiefs QB’s of last season. Never know what you get in the draft..
Ah Andy Reid. 2 high second round picks for Alex Smith? What a moron.
We should send a get well card to the Chief fans, because Andy is going to make them sick.
I guess Foles was Roseman’s draft pick and not Reid’s. If your KC and your offered Smith or Foles you have to go with Smith. we will find out real fast how good Andy is with QB’s. If I were KC I’m trading out of the first spot and getting that second round pick right back.
100% agree Biglion If Reid truly was in charge of Personal here for the Eagles then the #1 pick is for sale to recoup the picks the Chiefs just lost
that was his Modus Operandi ( concerned to a fault about number of draft picks)
maybe foles isn’t available…. do you think just because reid likes foles they should make him available? he don’t work here no more! i know someone who is still in eagles scouting dept. who was in the war room when there was a discussion about that pick…AR himself pulled the name off the board. fact.
he will win more games in the next 5 yers as the next two eagles coaches!
Good stuff cigar I haven’t heard that, from listening to sports talk everyone is saying Foles was a Howie and Marty guy and Reid wasn’t sold on him.
I think its funny that someone called Alex Smith plan B. That Foles was plan A. Muahahahahahahahahahaha
Does anyone in this room think the Chiefs called and offered the eagles that 2nd round pick for Foles and the eagles said no? Anyone?
If Foles was plan A and Smith was plan B dont you think the Chiefs would have offered more? So….. maybe they offered their 2nd rounder and their 3rd rounder? muahahahahahaha I spit ice on my Computer.
Guys….. I like Foles too but lets settle down with all the hype. for real.
I believe Foles was plan A…He said himself on NFL Network that they called and the Eagles informed them that Foles was not available….well before they started the process of trading for Alex Smith……..
Why don’t you guys just accept that you were wrong about how they felt about Foles. Foles is better than any QB in this years draft, and he is the QB of the future of the Eagles………EAT YOUR HEART OUT, AND LISTEN TO GMCliff……
