That was a hell of an exchange.  Young all pro RB in an era when RBs mattered more for a declining LB.  And then somehow flipped said declining LB along with a CB on an albatross contract to move up 5 premium spots in the first round.

Id have traded Mccoy for that move up in the draft.  So that bizarre exchange was something out of the draft day movie.

It was Kiko’s 2nd year playing in the league aka basically a rookie. In hindsight it was a bad trade because he never lived up to his rookie year potential, but it wasn’t a necessarily bad trade in theory considering McCoy would be 27.

That was probably also the day I started to dislike shady and think he was a dick. He pretended to come over to the fans asking for autographs and got about 20 yards away before he turned and ran away from everyone. Never liked him after that.

It has been an exhausting week … wife in hospital four days with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), plus 4 cubic yards of pea gravel to load into a wheelbarrow and transfer from the front driveway to the backyard garden.  Taxing my 75 year-old brain and muscles.  Fortunately we have a superb heart hospital in Sacramento, and they addressed the CHF issues before they became a heart attack.

I edited the original post to remove the redundancy.

Sacramento, you guys get any snow? I heard Tahoe got a bunch and that even So Cal was expecting snow.

At the current price for FA WR talent, coupled with the greater frequency of drafted WR making an earlier impact I'd prefer fill the slot WR position from a 3rd/4th round draft pick.  Brown and Goedert are already somewhat expensive, and Smith will be.  Get someone younger and cheaper for some work out of the slot -- they should, by definition, be the 4th target in the Eagles offense.

There are a lot of solid slot WR prospects this year even beyond R3.

I also have exactly 2 Eagles autographs. Jason Avant and Evan Mathis from training camp in 2011. It’s on an Eagles football I bought at camp. I think that was the last year at Lehigh.

You got a ticket as you came into camp and they raffled the numbers on who could get autographs from certain players that day. They weren’t even supposed to be giving autographs on that day, but they signed every single piece of anything people came up to them with until everyone was gone.

That was probably also the day I started to dislike shady and think he was a dick. He pretended to come over to the fans asking for autographs and got about 20 yards away before he turned and ran away from everyone. Never liked him after that.

I have 6:

-Jason Avant on a white hat

-Corey Clement on the SB52 hat

-Kevin Curtis on yes…his jersey

-BWest on a mini helmet

-Wes Hopkins and Andre Waters on a pennant

-Dougie P on a visor

I hope your wife is on the mend and you get some rest.  I also hope I can get to 75 and be able to haul 4 cubic yards of pea gravel around.

No snow.  Our elevation is 25 feet above sea level.  Tahoe’s is 6,225.  Snow typically only comes down to 3,000 to 4,000.

They are saying it will make it down to1,000 feet. My in-laws live in Auburn, and they had snow today (no accumulation though).

Good try, but wrong.  Try again.

I’ll give you a hint.  He had the same first name as my father in law.

Mike Mamula!!

Anyone have thoughts on Arkansas LB Drew Sanders?  6-5 235.  When I think of the OLB in a 3-4, he's the kind of guy that comes to mind.

That one is legendary!

I loved Jason Avant, he is probably my favorite low key Eagle of all time. The brief interaction I had with him at training camp skyrocketed his status to me.

Wrong. That's obviously Donovan McNabb.

He was basically the entire defense for Arkansas. He moves very fast and is head and shoulders better than anyone else on that defense. He looks skinny for how big he is, but he can deliver some nasty hits.

Out of curiosity, why did you choose this particular player?  Not exactly an Eagles legend.

While searching for random Eagles for the name this Eagle dialogue going on.  Interesting to see this former Eagle pre-dated Boobie Miles back in the 80s and was part of 3 District Champion teams at Permian.
