McNabb never let that go and he is not letting TO go and that is bad for McNabb as a QB and the Eagles as a team.

to me these are minor things which could or could not turn into a bigger issue but Jason Whitlock went on for almost 2 hours on this on ESPN.

he did respond to the NAACP thing though... just fyi.

but man... this is one intriguing thread...

I know he did and I also know he should not have which was my point

the NAACP thing is a page 4 non-story if McNabb ignores, it instead he felt victimized so he complained and it made the ABC nightly news

McNabb made that mountain himself

we shall see about McNabb, all my thought are based on success or lack off success this year. It would compund if McNabb gets hurt again.

the Pinkston Brown deal is set but I think the Eagles collective as well as myslef will feel much better about those two guys as #2 and #3 more than #1 and #2.

to me the WR success lies on...Hank Gaskett, Jabar Gaffney, and Jason Avant

Gaskett is 6'4 220 and is a piece the eagles need because he could impose his will in the red zone. Gaskett has Javon Walker skills IF he can put it all together. I was HAPPY to see him leave the Vikings roster and the Norse.

Gaffney is 6'1 205 but has never lived up to his college billing. He is still young enough to step foward an be soemthing special. If he can reach the potential that made Houston take him #1 overall in the second round then he will elevate the passign game. I hear a lot of people saying his cousin (Lito SHeppard) is pushing the kid hard to step up which could mean something.

Avant 6'0 215 is dinged right now but he is a warrior that started 30 games for the Wolverines. Avant always seems too slow, a tad short, etc but the kid plays football well and stepped into Brylon Edwards shoes last year nicely. I hate to use another Packer WR reference but Avant has ALWAYS reminded me of Donald Driver. A scrappy dude that might not should be able to do what he does but none the less does it.

if one of those guys step up I could see the Eagles passing game stepping up from TO not down.

Still the Eagles MUST MUST MUST get more than 365 carries at 3.9

in fact they need something close to the San Diego 470 and 4.5 to win their division.

I hear that Gaffney was struggling with the play book in minicamps and may not make the team.

Telling you dude, Brown will have about 75 catches this year with about 10 TD receptions and average around 14 to 15 yards per catch.

with out going back and looking for it I feel 100% sure you had much the same expectations of Brown last year, then you soured on him to the point of wanting him shot, and now you like him again.

Gaffney is a Florida WR he will always have problems with the play book.

I selected those 3 guys because at most 2 if not only 1 of them will make the team.

Denver post is suggesting Philly is a finalist for a Ashlie Lelie trade along with Chicago, Baltimore, San Fransico, and New England.

Word has it Denver is looking for a RB or TE and a draft pick for Lelie and that a trade is immenent.

We have neither a RB or a TE that would be worthy of Lelie. Cannot see how we play into the mix, though I would love him. Then we can cut Greg Lewis and have Brown #1, Lelie #2, Pinkston #3, Avant and Gaskett (is that the right name?) as #4 and 5. We also have that bum from Washington that we had last year, but heck, he could not get on the field in front of McMullen who we gave away, so how good can he be?

Never had any expectations of Brown last year except to out do what Mitchell did as a receiver during his first season. He surpassed that and most everybody else. 2nd best rookie receiver (numbers wise) last year with Mike McMahon doing most of the passing. I expected Greg Lewis to be much more than he was (frickin p-ssy!) last year. Now I want to drive him out of town.

now when Cataldi does it is more of speculation but none the less he says it

and as for Hugh Douglas he is the Eagles biatch and the only guy on the team to stick up for McNabb last year so why would he be different now?

if you only listen to Erskin and Douglas then you think the sky is green the tress are silver and that the Eagles are going to the super bowl

I seem to recall an Anthony Gargano in Philly that loves (d) to rip on McNabb too

Hey..you listen as well heh?..good man!....wait till the week of the cowboys and eagles..that's when it will get good.

Naaah! Then all of those Cockroach fans come out of the wall until the Eagles smack them down.
