Well, about 10 of them will be back on the PS.  

 

I'm just bitter about the changes to TC and not having the same level of access that we used to have as fans.  Ironically, in this age of more information and more access, the Eagles have managed less information and less access with their changes.  

I blame the Patriots and their video taping of practices. 

1. Troy Aikman was the Oklahoma State typing champion

As a sophomore at Henryetta High School, Aikman took Typing 1 expecting it to be an easy grade. What he learned that he enjoyed typing and was very good at it. His friend, Daren Lesley, said Aikman's typing sounded like a machine gun. He took Typing 2 the next year and entered the state competition in 1983, where he won the championship.

I won an award for typing in high school. Got a plaque and everything. There was even an award ceremony held in the teacher's lounge that I attended and was allowed to skip class for. I'm actually kind of proud of it even though I don't really type much anymore.

Trading one of the leaders in the locker room? I don’t think that’ll go over well. 

Haven't you heard, Jalen Hurts is such a great leader that he equals 5 leaders.  He makes BG expendable.

I would seriously consider sending Barnett to the Jets however.

Chase is really struggling.

Proud of the plaque or proud of being able to skip class to receive it?

I'd give them Graham in a heartbeat if they asked and it was a fair deal.

Graham just last week on wip already said he will retire when the Eagles are done with him. He said when that time comes when the Eagles don;t feel they want to give him a contract, he knows his time in the NFL is done and he will retire an Eagle and an Eagles only. So that wouldnt work out too well trying to trade him. Jets wont trade for a guy who said that.

I said a while ago we should try to trade Fulgham for James Washington from the Steelers. People didnt like the idea of us trading something of value. lol.

At least thats a realistic idea compared to those posting we should trade for a player who is a drama queen and getting paid over 15 mill in base salary each of his remaining years of his contract.

This is what happens when a player takes a year off away from the game.  It was my biggest concern with him in the draft.  That said, I believe that he will be fine... just needs to shake the rust... probably.    The variable of taking a year off is one that has never really been tested.

I don't think the Steelers would have any interest in that trade. I know Washington apparently wants out but still I don't see them going for that.

If Tampa Bay called at the deadline, and it looked like they were the favorite to win it all, Graham would go there in a second.

You must not know Graham to well. I get you dont live in the Philly area so you don;t see how he is in this community and how much he loves this area. I honestly believe in what he said that he will only put on an Eagles uniform and when he is told he can not anymore, he will walk away from the game. If he did not have a ring already, you might have a point.

I don't remember Graham's exact words, but I think he said it with the caveat that (paraphrasing) if he had one year left and the Eagles didn't want him, he'd rather just retire.

That obviously leaves room for Graham being willing to play somewhere else if he feels he has more than one year left and the Eagles don't want him.

1 leas practice tonight.  Because of a tropical storm, 2 hours away.  Soft ass team.   

I forgot to post they are still practicing just in the bubble. Feels like they just used any excuse to not have it open to fans. 

#Colts QB Carson Wentz will be participating in practice tomorrow, @zkeefer reports

He said the same thing on WIP during an interview last week as well. I believe he will do it as well. Hes that type of guy. He knows where he has it good. The amount of money he makes off the field is pretty good. You will see him on sportsnet Philadelphia or on WIP when he is done int he game.

Do you think he is more that guy than Brian Dawkins ??

Yes I do. Graham has a ring and has had bigger contracts then Dawkins had. 

When it comes to it, "IF" the Jets are going to trade for a pass rusher, it wont be for Brandon Graham. They will want either Barnett or Sweat if anyone on this team. 

Graham is a UFA in 2022 and will likely retire after this season IMO; Cox will be a UFA in 2023 but the Eagles could save $10M+ against the cap in 2022 by moving him.  Unless he has a resurgent dominant season I doubt Cox will be in an Eagles uniform beyond this season either.

Yep.  Were both of them Joe Douglas picks?  I'd hate to see them trade Sweat but his value might never be higher.  Not sure what he would bring back.  I'd much rather see them deal Barnett.  

Just looking at their roster and I would love if they could get La'Mical Perine.  He would be a big upgrade at RB2.  Seems like forever ago that Josh Adams was here and he's still only 24.

What is Graham going to say, though?

"Hell yeah I'd leave, F Philly!" ?

And with this media, not answering or changing the subject wouldn't work, either. Then all we'd hear about is how Graham isn't convinced the Eagles want him, doesn't feel he'll stay here, doesn't feel his career will end here, etc.

That’s great.  I took typing in college to get better at it as my papers needed to be typewritten.  Because UH is in a city, a good number of my fellow students were secretaries and executive assistants (all women, the 1970s) working initially towards their secretarial certificate while getting degrees in business administration.  A lot of good looking women.  I got my typing up to 38 words a minute, after the instructor finally accepted that I type with seven fingers and thought I was doing well. (Broke a pinky playing football right at the knuckle in HS and it doesn’t land right on keys.). The women were all typing 80+ with practically no mistakes with well manicured nails.
