Fox Sports: Bunkley Stinks, Ferguson Dominant

[AtlCB]

you know...

you could say some of the same things about our draft of last year. most of our higher picks haven't contributed all that heavily this year, either.

...however, it is waaaaaaaayyyyy too early to starting using the "b" word

there were people all over this board clamoring for winston justice last april...

Huh????

Ware is playing very well. Both Spears and Canty are starting and are solid in run support. Burnett, Barber, and Ratliff are all making key contributions to the team. Only Beriault and Petitti aren't making contributions to the team, and they were both 6th rounders.

Second-round offensive tackle Winston Justice hasn't even set foot on the field yet this year. It's not shaping up to be a very good draft for the Eagles.

talk about jumping the gun. who is justice gonna replace? thomas or runyan?

 

[Zman5]

Kinda surprised he didn't say Carpenter was the most disappointing rookie.

That's Crazy Cowboys' job.

 

[Timbo2st]

Bunkley who?

 

[stealth]

last season everyone was talking about how much fergy sucked too. Good to see this.

Philadelphia My choice for most disappointing rookie is first-round defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley. He was a workout warrior at the combine, and the Eagles don't exactly have a great history drafting workout warriors to bolster their defense (see Mamula, Mike). Bunkley doesn't get many snaps in the defensive line rotation, and when he plays he gets pushed around too easily. Second-round offensive tackle Winston Justice hasn't even set foot on the field yet this year. It's not shaping up to be a very good draft for the Eagles.

LMAO

And I remember when everyone was giving the eagles an A++ for their draft!

weren't fans on here gnashing their teeth because Carp can't get on the field, and we passed on Justice?

Dallas Nose tackle Jason Ferguson is amazing. Every Cowboys game I watch, I come away thinking he dominated the center across the line of scrimmage from him. He completely changes the opposing offense's plan of attack on running plays because guards who might otherwise pull or block a linebacker are forced to help the center with Ferguson.

guess Ferg is earning his money

although some of us have already suspected that

 

[Bob Sacamano]

no argument here...

i do think that parcells is going to have to find some way to rest him so he doesn't wear down so much in the second half of the season.

our lack of depth at that position is a bit scary, IMHO.

doesn't Ratliff sub for him?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Kinda surprised he didn't say Carpenter was the most disappointing rookie.

noone was hyping up Carp like they were Bunkley after the Combine

plus his physical gifts are better than Carp's

 

[Bob Sacamano]

A big part of that is that he's got better talent on either side. Ellis wasn't a 3-4 DE, Coleman is just a guy. Canty and Spears are coming into their own as run defenders.

that and he didnt' have an injury setting him back out of the gate this year

 

[Cowboy Bill Watts]

Could Butterball be on his way to Hawaii?
