Here is a quick coaching update.  David Shaw, from Stanford, is getting a lot of buzz recently.  Those in the know swear that he loves that job and will not leave.  Stanford could be great because there isn t huge pressure florence four star hotels there.  Shaw has been in the NFL.  Could be that he didn t like his time here and does prefer the college game.
Jon Gruden continues to be rumored to the University of Tennessee.  The Vols are desperate to hire a big time coach.  Gruden was once an assistant there and his wife was a cheerleader there.  I think he d be good in college because it would force Gruden to work with kids and not obsess on veteran players. florence four star hotels  He does well with the QBs on his pre-draft specials.  Gruden coached Donovan McNabb at the 1999 Senior Bowl and that had a big impact on McNabb going 2nd overall.
Speaking of SF they are bringing in Kickers for a workout.  Old friend David Akers is just 19 of 27 this year.  For all the fans who shredded the Eagles for moving on to Alex Henery, that move is starting to look quite a bit different.  Alex is 20 of 21 this year and has made more FGs of 40 or more yards.
Jimmy Bama and I did a podcast .  We started off talking about Babin and Vinny Curry.  We then covered DJax and the WRs.  We finally got into a game review.  Lots of humor is mixed in.  We discussed Jimmy and DeSean doing a rap album together.  Oh, what I d give to hear that.  We also discussed whether cutting Jason Babin is the top highlight for the 2012 season. How sad is that?
Earlier I wrote that LB Ryan Rau had been added to the roster.  I m told that he wasn t.  The team then has 2 spots open.  Could promote a WR from the practice squad to replace florence four star hotels DJax or they could stick with just 5 WRs.
I looked around some practice squads to see if there were any players of real interest. There are some Safeties I d consider.  QB BJ Coleman is on Green Bay s PS.  Talented player with some potential.
One interesting idea would be NT Alameda Ta Amu from the Steelers.  He was cut from their regular roster just recently. florence four star hotels  He was a mid-round pick that had a bad arrest due to a crazy traffic situation.  If the new coach in 2013 wants to go to a 3-4, Ta Amu could be the NT or a huge DE in that system.  Ta Amu would not benefit us now, but that would be an interesting idea for the future.  If the new coach doesn t like him, you just cut the guy.  No loss.
Interesting note on Ta amu. Pre-draft, I never thought he projected well to NT in a 3-4, despite his insane size. He was actually a very good penetrator at UDub, causing a lot of disruptions in the backfieId, but had a really tough time with double teams. I actually thought he would do much better in a 4-3 as a 3 technique.
florence four star hotels He does give you some scheme versatility, though. Like you mentioned, even if you re not thrilled with him as a NT, you can stick him at end. If they want to switch to a 3-4 and need a nose, there are some guys in the draft that can do the job particularly florence four star hotels at the top.
BJ Coleman was impressive at the Shrine game. What does Trent Edwards do for this team, right now, and what s his role in the future? Sign Coleman up and see if he can do his Manning impression for the Eagles. With so much dead wood, and so many holes, I d say getting young guys that could be promising is one of the few positive things you can do with the rest of the season.
Help me out here. Why are we talking about a 3-4. The Eagles have a small OL and the wrong type of LBs. Ryans was traded precisely because he is not a 3-4 type and aside from Kendricks we don t have much talent florence four star hotels there. So the transition to a 3-4 would be about as gut wrenching a change as you could imagine.
The 34 Defense have become much more wide spread, which means that its more likely that a new coach/DC florence four star hotels runs the 34, i think thats all there is to it. That also means that more players than ever before, both pro and college, have played in the 34.
Me personally, florence four star hotels I like the 3-4, just like i prefer man coverage and big maulers for OL. It doesn t mean that I m opposed to the 43 or somehow think one thing is more effective than the other. In the end, all the numbers really comes down to which players you have on the field. It has been mentioned before on the site, the Seahawks run a 43, but to be honest, their DE(Red Bryant) is bigger than any DL we have. They run kinda a hybrid scheme, with Chris Clemons and Bruce Irvin as their Elephant hybrid player. Its also worth mentioning florence four star hotels that both Bobby Wagner and KJ Wright can play MLB.
Popularity of the 3-4 ebbs and flows, it was quite popular in the 70s and 80s but declined in the 90s. The Eagles under Vermeil used the 3-4. I don t think the base defensive formation really matters to a coach. Wade Phillips was DC under Buddy Ryan and ran the Chicago 46. Vic Fangio was DC under Jim playoffs Mora Sr with the Colts and ran a 4-3 coming from a 3-4 background with the Saints.
Mike P can play NT for us. He is big enough and was really florence four star hotels good when we played a 2-gap scheme. My really problem would the lack of a true OLB pass rusher. So if we switch to a 3-4 we really need to pick for need instead of BPA.
I dont know where you got 5.11 from but he is listed as 6-1 on PE.com and back in 2008 when we still played some 2-gap he was around 310-315 lbs and was a huge reason we had one of the top ranked run defenses.
florence four star hotels Here s what I think the major problem for the Eagles has been the past few years lack of locker room leadership. Combine that with JJ s death and all the issues that AR has had over the past 2 seasons with his family and you have the 11 and 12 Eagles. Who are the leaders on this team? On D? Who? On O? MV maybe if he put up the points and lead the team to W s in the 4th quarter this team needs some serious leadership. Never underestimate a motivated man.
I would like if we picked florence four star hotels up B.J. Coleman. I remember watching him play well in the East-West Shrine game and he was putting some serious zip on the ball. I think he actually hooked up with B.J. Cunningham for a TD in that game.
This might be sacrilegious but I hope the Iggleslose their way into a top 3 pick in the 2013 draft. From all accounts this a weak draft. With a paucity of elite talent the Iggles need to be on position to pick at the top of each round.
If the new coach wants to install a 3-4 defense then the Iggles need to go after Star Lotulelei who can eat up blocks, collapse the pocket and take the pressure of the LBs. If we remain in a 4-3 defense then we go after the TOP tackle in the draft.
Second round no doubt we need to address the safety position ( I like Bacarri Rambo from Georgia, florence four star hotels ball hawking playmaker) florence four star hotels but if we switch to a 3-4 then a stud OLB has to be considered. While I m over the whole Brandon Graham vs JPP thing I can t help but think that we could have had Earl Thomas back there in our secondary. Shaw is staying at Stanford. Iggles should go after Vic Fangio who should bring 49ers LB and QB coach with him to be our DC and OC respectively. Under Fangio I see us as a run first offense with a defense that gets after the QB and most importantly TACKLES well. Please look at Stanford and the 49ers defense units under Fangio. You don t see his guys out of position missing a bunch of tackles.
(I like small college rookies florence four star hotels b/c they have the greatest upside, big college guys who can t make a 53 man roster must be limited florence four star hotels almost by definition, but a talented small college florence four star hotels player often ends up on the PS due to inexperience)
I thought folks were high on Antonio Allen last year of course then he went in the 7th and obviously didn t make the Jets. That said, after watching Hard Knocks I wouldn t trust Mike Tannenbaum to make a wise personnel decision.
As a side note, Tom Dempsey of the Eagles was the 1st to kick a 63 yd fg, in 1970. The posts were on the goal line back then, so the ball was placed on the 37 yard line. Amazing. Dempsey had no toes on his kicking foot and no fingers on his right hand.
Question: Who coaches the practice squad? I d imagine the primary position coaches are too busy with the 53 man roster that they don t have time to deal with PS players. Is it the assistant positional coaches? Or is there a dedicated practice squad coach?
Or maybe I m just thinking about it all wrong. The other possibility I can think of is that the PS just practices regularly with the other 53 and are dealing with the coaches just the same as the rostered players.
Most learning for young players occur in the off season, and exhibition games are crucial for them, which is why reducing the preseason to two games would be a disaster for the league, unless they establish a minor league where teams could send 20 players and call them up at will (i.e. keep 45-50 on an active roster and a bunch in the minor leagues getting experience like baseball).
Mentioned below is that former Eagles safety Joe Scapati was the holder for then-New Orleans Saints PK Tom Dempsey florence four star hotels when he kicked the record 63-yard FG against the Lions. (After the game, the late Detroit great DT Alex Karras remarked that God kicked that ball. )
Anyway, after the 69 season, the Eagles traded Scarpati a long-time starter at safety under, and favorite of, head coach Joe Kuharich straight up to New Orleans for another, younger safety named Steve Preece (No. 33 in your Eagles program). Preece spent 2.5 years in green before being cut loose in 1972. From 73- 76, he played safety for the perennial West Division winner, and play-off disappointment, LA Rams under Chuck Knox.
Scarpati florence four star hotels s most memorable moment as an Eagle came in 1966 against the Cowboys when he stole the ball, literally wrestled it away, from RB Dan Reeves to preserve an Eagles 24-23 upset victory at Franklin Field. (A few weeks earlier, the Cowboys beat the Eagles 56-7 at the Cotton Bowl.)
Here s some nightmarish info to follow up on AC s great story. The Eagles followed the upset to beat Dallas again on their first matchup of the 1967 season, and then did not beat them again until 1973. 11 loses in a row, with a point
