The Philadelphia Eagles have officially announced signing RB Marty Johnson (Broncos). Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Big Back 6 foot 225, and look at those hands.

Eagles starting to understand this thing called a ...ground attack

He's your answer to a lack of a running game?

I guess he's big laying down...

 

[Yeagermeister]

Well we should just give up now

 

[FRDRCK]

over/under?

3 carries this season

I guess he's big laying down...

Or sitting on the sideline as Reid once again abandons the running game...

The eagles should sign A-Train. This is NOT a joke. I think Reid could work him into a rotation, much like that of Westbrook, Buckhalter and Staley of a few years ago.

an unbiased prediction PT?

 

[Stash]

Hope springs eternal, eh?

But wherever will they find room for yet another "stud" running back in such a crowded and talented backfield?

Or did Brokenhalter get hurt yet again and I missed it?

 

[Alexander]

Ditto.

All this signing means is that losing Perry the other night robbed them of some depth.

 

[Secondary2None3141]

Impressive.

He's both injury prone, and an alcoholic.

Thomas is under contract in Buffalo, isn't he?

I guess that Character thing is out the window already .....

 

[Alexander]

Who?

THE Marty Johnson.

Do you not understand the appropriate response is panic that they now have acquired a big back to "fix" their running game?

 

[Vintage]

PT, to quote The Eagles...."Get over it."

 

[MC KAos]

Impressive.

He's both injury prone, and an alcoholic.

The funny thing is, 6-0, 225 doesn't even qualify as a "big" back anymore...

Well, except compared to Brian Westbrook.

Why did the Broncos say "no"?
