Does anyone know of a player who retired after being named first team all pro?

Calvin Johnson maybe.

Sure, and as well as @Alphagrand post goes, yeah, they probably will dry up. But there shouldn't be any outcry about him getting All Pro this season. He absolutely deserves it. 

I'd much rather have a CB that gets 11 INTs and is the worst run defender in the league, than the opposite. 

Considering he had the third most targets and most yards against in the league proves that teams aren't afraid of throwing in his direction. He's pretty much tying himself to only being useful if he gets an INT otherwise he's a liability.

Jim Brown is the only one I can find.

How many rushing yards do the Eagles run for on Sunday?

Who cares about yards? You could give up an 80 yard play, and then on the next snap get an INT in the red zone....which matters more?

His passer rating against was lower than Slay. He averaged about 1 target more than Slay did per game. Are you really hanging your hat on that?

All pro his second last season, but not his last.  Also checked Patrick Willis.  I can not think of anyone else to even look at.

Depends.  How long can they stay within 14 points?  The plan needs to be 35-40 rushes and 25 passes, but if the score is 28-6 by halftime that goes out the window.

if they can run 35 times I believe they can be close to 175 yards on the ground.

Disagree. There comes to a point where both mean less because while they are making flashy plays, they are major liabilities elsewhere. Jason Babin is third all time for Eagles sacks in a season and the only thing memorable about it was how they meant almost nothing. 

And Babin made 2nd team All Pro that year, behind Jared Allen who had 22 sacks, and JPP who had 16.5 in 12 games. 

And Babin was an uber-dewsh, no doubt, but at least he had the ability to get sacks. Even if he sold out against the run to do so. We basically have the exact same player now in Barnett, except, Barnett doesn't have the ability to actually get the sacks.

The start of the game will be very telling IMO. If we come out passing right away, we're toast. Need to grind it out on the ground, keep 3rd downs short, and keep Brady off the field as long as possible.

John Hannah from the Patriots (Guard 1985) and Otto Graham - both a bit early for me to remember.

Jason Kelce is still the best C in the NFL. I know he restructured his contract to make it seem like he's retiring...but man I hope he plays another year.

 I had some concerns between Humphrey and Linsley, getting 1st team over Kelce, I’m guessing one of those two got 2nd team.  Going forward though Humphrey is gonna own the 1st team, he was really good for a rookie.    
 I think he’ll stay for at least another year, they’ll re-work his deal.

This is tough.

How's hurts ankle, how's Sanders hand, how's howards shoulder?

If the bucs get out early does Nick abandon the run???

Also vita vae's health will be a big factor.

Normally I'd put it around 150+ yards but I just don't see it against Brady and the bucs.

I'm not sure what eagles low in rush yards is since Nick started running but I expect it will be around that

I was just checking OL and found him.  Would have never thought of Otto.  Any more ideas ??

 Just not between tackles, outside is where the Bucs are the most vulnerable giving up 5.3 yds per attempt.

I thought Tiki Barber since he had like 1,600 rushing yards his final season, but he was an all-pro the year before.

Don Hutson, Green Bay RB from the 40s - that's a MattWill special.

If they run Miles up the middle, Suh will re-break his hand and cause him to fumble, there’s no doubt he’ll at least step on it.
