From my Ears to Yours

[Phoenix-Talon]

I'm not sure how Philly will work it. They signed Westbrook to an extension and have a lot of money invested in him. Now they could want more of a bruiser type back to compliment Westbrook or someone they can use like Westbrook.

You're right -- that's the buzz! They'll be a big back around Philly In 2006, we just don't know where he'll come from ...FA or the Draft!

Have you heard anything about what Philly plans to do with Bruce Perry? I was a big fan of his at UMD and I think the guy runs with alot of heart.

As a Commander fan, I can say there's a 90% or greater chance Ramsey won't be here next year.

In retrospect, I wish he'd been able to play towards the end of this season when Brunell was hurt an ineffective.

Looks like Gibbs is going to keep Brunell (whos solid when healthy), and Campbell (who spent all of last year running the scout offense and learning the NFL game).

Uncertian if dropping/trading (whatever the contract allows) is such a ery good idea for the Skins. Ramsey is yound and a very nice QB. His tutelage under Brunell, could propel Ramsey into another level. I expect to see some great things from Ramsey; wherever he ends up (J.E.T.S. Jets-Jets-Jets)

 

[Hostile]

Didn't think about the ...J - E - T - S, Jets, Jets, Jets! Did some min-scouting on them ...

Here's their QB situation

Chad Pennington ...6-years experience

Jay Fiedler ...10-years experience

Brooks Bolinger ...3-years experience

Kliff Kinsbury ...1-year experince

Vinny TestaVerde ...plans to announce his retirement this Spring.

Ramsey could fit; but the JETS would probably drop Fiedler/Brooks. I'm guessing.

They tried to trade for him when Pennington went down. Skins opted not to. I thought that was foolish. Still do too.

Don't think Gibbs had enough faith at that point to put Campbell in the position of #2

I like him too. During the end Of the 2005 regular season, Perry started to shOw some competent running skills. However, I think the Eagles are looking for more consistency in moving the chains and a workhorse back should the opportunity become available. He'll have to beat earn his spot and prove he's worthy!

Since you followed him when he played at UMC, here's some tid-bits ...

Perry impressed me in the last Skins game...he's like 5'9 205 but runs like he's about 30 lbs stronger then that. I'll be rooting for him to earn a spot on the Eagles this year, only time I won't be rooting for him to do well will be for the 2 games they play the Skins

I'd still rather get something for him. Gibbs could have always grabbed a veteran FA in an emergency.

Consistency is the key -- can he maintain his quest to take his game to the next level? BTW, Perry's Height: 5-10 ...yeah, right around 200 -205. He Only has 2 years experience (plenty of time to merge as a sleeper)!

That's about the way Emmitt Smith was built,...not the fastest guys in the world but will lunge for every inch. As much as I hate to admit it, Emmitt was a tough SOB that as far as talent goes...doesn't hold a candle to Barry Sanders...but had the heart of a lion much like Walter Payton.

 

[rgcowboys]

Eagles will not draft a runningback with that pick. They just paid Westbrook, so look o-lone or D-line here.

 

[Hiero]

White ran behind a monster line and he wasn't the biggest threat on his team. A lot of #2 backs look great behind a star. Maroney is from what I can tell more elusive, has that breakwaway speed and more prepared to be a feature back in the league.

and maroney played behind a great OLine that uses the zone blocking scheme the Broncos use.

How would you categorize Tony Dorsett? Have mad respect for Dorsett!

 

[superpunk]

Still trying to figure out what in the world this thread has to do with the Dallas Cowboys....

Awesome. The Eagles can add a RB (who they won't use) to a backfield that has talent that is already not being used. I really hope they waste their first pick on a RB.

...The Cowboy Connection (should be a title or something) ...

Anyway, anyone, knows that everyone that knows something about any aspect of football, can tell you that everything that pertains to football personnel changes that occur in the NFCE has some type of impact with all teams -- including yours.

That's basic football saavy 101

I wasn't old enough to really remember Dorsett that well...I was only about 8 when he retired

I hardly think a rumor about what the Eagles may or may not do with their first round pick qualifies as something I as a Cowboy fan should be concerned about. When they actually perform some personnel changes, lemme know. Until then, all that info is good for is speculatory mock drafts......

BTW, I don't think this

If you say so.

Now, what were you saying about English?...you really shouldn't take it there...but -- "I'll be your huckleberry." (quote from one of my favorite Westerns; Tombstone).

Nothing wrong with youth! But surely you've delved into some COwboy history, or heard someone you know mention Tony Dorsett! It really wasn't that long ago ...or was it? Tick ...tock ...

Oh, it's english...but my punctuation blows.
