Evan Mathis released by Eagles***Merged***

[John813]

I don't know the cap situation, but I wonder if Miami will be trying to sign him. That would likely take any possible Leary for Miller trade off the table for good.

That's what I'm thinking. they tried to trade for him earlier, till Bonehead Jordan got suspended for a year.

that would really improve their porous guard situation.

 

[Alexander]

I would prefer he go outside the division. He is a solid football player.

 

[Stash]

Chip's starting to look more like Steve Spurrier each and every day....

 

[Longboysfan]

It's as if he wants to get fired so he can keep all the money and get back to college ball.

Seems like he is working himself in that direction.
But reserve judgement till 6 games into the season.

Chip Kelly does not mess around. He is all about culture - talent be damned. Hope he goes back to college.

I'm actually a big supporter of his coaching and managing style, as long as its in Philly

 

[Ring6]

he could come on over and be a inactive backup pro bowler

 

[Stash]

I was thinking Minnesota may make a play for him.

That's a good guess. I was thinking Miami too after they lost out on Collins.

But the Vikings likely have more money and that's what Mathis has been looking for.

This does help us but I wonder who is behind Mathis

Journeyman Allen Barbre. 30 years old has bounced around the league.

What 'culture' is that?

 

[CATCH17]

Don't know why they did that but whatever.

Chips scheme can get by using a bad to mediocre Oline because he actually coaches around it anyways.

Not a lot of 5 step drops and plays down field.

Philly has a sideline to sideline passing game and then they hit you with isolation runs up the middle while doing it at a fast pace.

No big deal. The Eagles have RB Demarco Murray ... who can pick up blitzes and block.

Is this like the third offensive lineman the Eagles lost since the season ended? Demarco Murray has to split reps with Matthews and Sproles and try to find holes from a depleted OL. 'It's not about the money' yada yada yada. At this point in time, I'm sure Murray is like 'I don't care. I got paid.'

They have some stud MLBs they could plug into the OL.

 

[phildadon86]

What 'culture' is that?

Cut all of your most talented players and prove the system you used in college that didn't work will work in the nfl? Lol

 

[jrumann59]

Worst case scenario: the Giants.

Does he play OT.

 

[AbeBeta]

What 'culture' is that?

He seems to be creating a culture wherein anyone who complains about contract etc. is gone.

 

[jrumann59]

Spurrier let Danny do the talent evaluating. AAnd Spurrier did not want to put in the long hours, I think Chip may be worse because he is takne proven winner and seems to be trying to plant it into the ground. Spurrier inherited a sorry team left it that way.

 

[5Stars]

He seems to be creating a culture wherein anyone who complains about contract etc. is gone.

And then he goes out and spends huge money on a player that complained about his contract! lol

Chippy late at night: Hmmm...what do I do? I have to pay Murray big bucks, so to save some money....I got it! I'll cut an offensive lineman to afford Murray! I am so brilliant. (nods back off to sleep, with his little brown teddy bear and his girlfriend boy).

 

[Stash]

He seems to be creating a culture wherein anyone who complains about contract etc. is gone.

Definitely. A 'my way or the highway' deal to be sure. He strikes me as very arrogant and someone I want to see have his nose rubbed in it.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

Does he play OT.

Don't think so but they could use help on the inside too.

 

[big dog cowboy]

So are the E-Gals still a top 10 team now?

 

[USMarineVet]

This does help us but I wonder who is behind Mathis

This guy.
