With or without him the E-gals are gonna lose to Indy.

Vince Young missed the flight to their game last week. He got his own flight and had to find his way to the stadium.

I wonder what Bunkley's Wonderlic score was?

 

[lurkercowboy]

Irvin did the same thing once. JJ benched him for one play, I think.

Here's another player Kartr said we should have drafted.

Bunkley misses flight to Indy

INDIANAPOLIS -- Eagles rookie defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley hasn’t made many plays this season.


Now he can’t make the team flights.

Bunkley jetted here on his own dime Saturday when the Eagles left without him, a club spokesman confirmed. Though Bunkley arrived here before the team meetings began, he likely will be fined. It’s also possible he could be scratched today when the Eagles oppose the Indianapolis Colts.

It’s been a trying season for Bunkley, who got off on the wrong foot by missing a chunk of training camp in a contract holdout.

The Florida State product started fast, registering three solo stop in the season-opening victory over the Houston Texans. But he has just one stop in the last six games after notching eight in the first four.

Bunkley’s playing time was cut almost to nothing last week and even before the tardiness Saturday, there was no indication it would increase today.

Does it matter? Has he even done anything this year?

This guy is starting to look more and more like Mike Mamula. Bunkley was a workout warrior who's draft stock went thru the roof. The e-girls took the chesse. His lengthy holdout should've been an indication of things to come for philly. The news keeps getting better.

I bet he will pay through the nose for that... My cousin was with the Bills last year and was 2 minutes late for the appointed meeting time for a flight, and got fined 2,000 dollars, a G for each minute he was late. I think it was during preseason too

No, nothing. This has been the talk of the town all week - that both the Eagles' first round picks (Bunkley and Justice) have been inactive all season. If they can't get on the field with those two putrid lines, what does it say? Is the draft evaluation that bad or, more likely, they're not being coached up the way they need to be.

I'm not sure how you can call the Eagles' O-line putrid, definitely one of the better units in the league.

Justice is one of these OL we should have taken instead of Fasano.

I think he has hardly played this season, which has Eagles fans mad at Fatso... I'M LOVIN IT!!!!

 

[LaTunaNostra]

He wasn't on the plane?

What surprises me is that they'd even notice.

 

[5Stars]

Funny...and, we even had an eagle "fandom" on here last week saying that the eagles "could still fly"....

Right! Their players cannot even "fly" on an airplane...much less on game day!

 

[Timbo2st]

I couldn't care less about Bunkley missing the plane.

I forgot that he was still on the team.

I forgot that they were still in the NFL.
