And the defense improves how?

Why not re-sign Murray (since we have money) and use the 1st pick on defence?

Who's going to come in at #27 and have an impact?

Rookie pass rushers just don't produce straight out of the gate.

 

[Danger]

Enjoy nine man boxes Demarco!

Eagles might not be any better-no WR to scare us, and a QB and RB who are injury prone.
Gmen need OL and DL and RB and DB help before they are scary.

We have just as many holes. No Pass rush, weak LB core. Suspect DB's.

 

[KalEl]

I know we're all upset and he's more than likely signing with our most-hated rival, but let's not underrate how much he meant to this team last year.

Agreed. That fumble vs GB still hurts

You think the Eagles are done?

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I can't wait for that first Cowboys-Eagles game.

 

[TommyBoy21]

Philly tried this a few seasons ago by signing all these big names players in the offseason (Vick, asomugha, etc) and fell flat on their faces.

I'll enjoy watching it happen again this season

 

[Stash]

If Matthews is signed, then Murray, how on earth can they justify $12 million or more on two running backs? No wonder Eagles fans are going crazy.

Don't forget what they're paying Sproles.

The defect on our defense to me means we need a Hardy himself or a Hardy type of player big time now. We have either let the average Joe's walk or they left on their own. Only so many of them out there.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Don't let the door hit you . Adios

 

[dfense]

I think celebration is appropriate. At his best he was a very good running back. He's likely used up now. Nowhere near his best anymore. I've actually been hoping that someone would sign him away to keep Jerry and Jason from letting their loyalty cause them to make a mistake.

Agreed. RB is a position for young guys. Freshly drafted hungry young legs. Just don't fumble the ball son. There are at least 4 guys after round 1 that could take over for Murray.

Getting close for all Murray related talk to move into the nfl news zone!

No team is pursuing Hardy or Rice for that matter not even a smoke signal. The Commish has put out the word.

 

[Alexander]

So will our FO look at Matthews? I vote no...too injury prone

They may not have a choice. Going into the draft with a glaring need for a back when you have holes all over your defense is not smart.

 

[Zekeats]

Not buying it....jerry held strong for once... A new regime

 

[SDCowboy]

Agreed. That fumble vs GB still hurts

Because they were just paying one running back 12 million?

 

[Sydla]

Schefter saying members of his family/inner circle are headed to Philly.

Man, I am OK with him leaving, but to Philly? Sucks.

 

[CATCH17]

Agreed. RB is a position for young guys. Freshly drafted hungry young legs. Just don't fumble the ball son. There are at least 4 guys after round 1 that could take over for Murray.

Agreed..

We will miss him in those short yardage situations.. He could finish a run.. Guy has no vision though.
