What's the Difference between a "Key" Player Loss and a "Regular" Player Loss?

PT.

Tucker is not a key loss. At all. He is bad.

Our OT spot is deeper than what it was last year. Sure, its not ideal. However, had we kept Tucker this year, he likely wouldn't have made the roster anyway. Why? Because, at best, he'd have been the 5th OT on the depth chart.

So...in other words, he'd likely had been cut.

Now, when your Eagles begin to cut their roster down, do you count those cut people as key losses to your team? You know....the training camp bodies? Are those key losses?

You better say yes, to remain consistant.

Because Tucker, if we had kept him, likely wouldn't have made it to the game day roster and would likely have been cut.

Therefore, hardly a key loss.

Some discussion here. ... Your argument holds up well in my opinion PT.

Thnak you lspain! Some posters believe I'm merely defending a position that I really don't believe is true. But your point even validates the position further.

No...unfortunately.

I never said you didn't believe your position to be true.

I do think you honestly believe yourself.

Which......makes this thing that much more amusing.

17 more to go PT :) getting nervious(sP)? lol

Maybe if this were my 1,000th Post I'd be nervous ...but like I said earlier, I hadn't even noticed. I'm having too much fun exchanging ideas, dialogues, and Mixing it up with opponent perspectives. It doesn't get too much better than the Zone ...unless it's an Eagles MB of course.

Someone ****ing shoot me.

I was wondering what he was going to do today to top himself.....

Guess I got my answer.

Huh.

I didn't see this coming. I was thinking we'd be back in the T.O. area...maybe he'd comment on how we'd be better if we still had Coakley....or Quincy Carter....

Something of that ilk.

But I didn't see this one coming.

Yep....closing in one number 1000.

Hard to believe I actually am close to that...considering the first thread I ever began posting in here (defending the Ranch)... I never saw this coming.

Keep making asinine comments so I can git 'er dun.

Seriously PT, Direct me to a good Eagles MB. And not the one with the "tate'rs".

I always laugh about post counts too. I simply dont notice or care. I respond to threads I want to respond to and choose to ignore others.

I can't believe anyone would try to justify Torrin Tucker as a key loss.

The guy gave up MORE sacks per game than anyone in the entire league.

Add to it, the fact that he is being "replaced" by PRO-BOWLER Flozell ADAMS, along with other randomly capitalized words.

I know.

He keeps digging himself a hole. And he thinks, the more he digs, he can get himself out of it.

Keep digging PT. You are almost to China.

Out of curiousity, what was Tucker's total sacks given up?

12.5 sacks

in 10 games.

6th round rookie Rob Pettiti, who was battling weight among other things, gave up 13, in 16 games.

So let's see.....on the one hand, we have Rob Pettiti, sixth round rookie, who gave up 0.81 sacks per game.

OTOH, we have third year pro Torrin Tucker, who gave up 1.25 sacks per game, being replaced by Flozell Adams.

Hmmmmm....

So... its more of a "key loss" for opposing teams than us.

Maybe thats what PT meant.

I am sure there will be a thread saying so either later today, or tomorrow...
