Well, there it is, man. The Eagles are officially the favorite in the whole NFC, guys.

Silver lining is I'd rather see him as an Eagle than a Giant

 

[Fletch]

Yawn.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Blount is a beast, and I'm glad the Giants didn't pick him up for the measley 2.8 mill

 

[Supercowboy1986]

Blount was terrible when he was picked up as a FA by the steelers. He has only been good with the patriots. I am not overly concerned with him on the Eagles.

If a 30 yr old pot smoking RB that has a fitting last name is your cup of tea, this is your guy.

 

[mugsybows]

he'll be a dud now that hes not on the pats

 

[aikemirv]

When you have to think about defending Tom Brady every play then stopping the run becomes more difficult. Alfred Morris is better than Blount IMO.

Giants still worry me more, the Eagles OL is not as good as the Pats so i'm not worried.

 

[canters]

He lost his starting job with the Steelers the year he went there as a FA, IIRC.

 

[Joe Realist]

Damn good pickup for them.

 

[AsthmaField]

Damn good pickup for them.

I'm shocked at your reaction. [floaty][/floaty]

 

[AsthmaField]

They'll have to change that team song to "High Eagles, High!"

As far as I'm concerned, a fat, 30 year old RB on the field and Sproles off it is a good thing.

Well the Steelers spend a second on Bell the same year so you would think they wanted Bell to be the guy.

Bell and Blount got caught smoking pot and Blount was cut shortly after.

 

[Screw The Hall]

When he's good he's really good and when he's not, well, he's really not. I personally like to pass on RBs who are over 30 that have been wildly inconsistent. But that's just me.

It's not as good as the Pats, but Lane Johnson is no slouch. They were markedly better when he returned from his PEDS suspension last season.

But still, you're right Sideon

 

[cowboy_ron]

lol, The eagles don't know talent, they just name chase..............if they recognized talent in the draft they wouldn't have to churn 40% of their roster year in and year out with free agents.

I'd actually be scared of the Eagles if they had a QB
