i know it's been discussed at length already, but that richard sherman article was very good. imo he was beginning to get kind of annoying, but the article reminded me why i like the guy in the first place/


His mmqb articles are always on point. Ive grown to enjoy them. Dude calls it how it is, tackles tough subjects, and doesbt sugar cost it.
 
 
Seattle loves Trufants
Well then maybe he should let Trufant work out with him so he can have a chance to compete for 2nd best CB in the game

Adam Caplan just did an interview on 97.5 The Fanatic and said the Eagles found out the article was coming out last Wednesday and tried to trade him up until that Friday and that's when they decided they were going to cut him.

He also stated Desean has taken this as a wake up call and has vowed to work harder in training, etc.

Eagles have also shown interest in trading up for Evans and they love Cooks and rate his character a 10/10.
 
My issue with the sherman's article is he say numerous times that he can't jump to conclusions on desean because of various reasons.. But then proceeds to do the same thing with the eagles when he has even less access to the organization

That NJ article by Elliot Shorr-Parks who is a clown, should never been written what was the point of it.
 
For the record, TMZ reported the Desean gang signs stuff well before that NJ.com article.

And believe me, don't speak for all Eagles fans. We aren't all defending the decision to cut Desean, the team handled the entire thing very badly and I lost a bit of respect for them.

If they felt they didn't want him for a work ethic reason then say so, don't let an article from another state entirely speak for you. And now that he's signed they DEFINITELY have no reason to give an explanation to anyone.

Just an all around circus of a short offseason for the Eagles, like it usually is smh. Cannot wait for the draft so there's something else to talk about regarding the team
 
I legit read that sentence 5 times to figure out the wording and meaning intended :lol
 
Trade troubled WR to his hometown team...for some reason I don't see Mike Williams and the Buffalo thing working out.

Funny part is that Marone was his college coach and he kicked him off the team, only 2 teams were interested in him
 
You guys are still talking about DeSean :lol



Chris Johnson released?!? Hope he doesn't end up in the AFC west

I don't think it is though....fact is when the speculation was out there the ONLY player who vouched for him was Riley Cooper. Maclin wanted no parts or him, Andy probably tolerated the tantrums more but he even suspended Desean before. I wish we still had him bc he brings so much on the field but if a guy has no respect for coaches and doesn't buy in AND the team doesn't like him, I can see why he was cut. He seems like a guy who is easy to put up with when you are winning but if things start going south he slacks off (2011) and starts being a prima donna.

When we cut TO teammates came out and backed him, not here Desean is getting universally dismissed plus Vick and Avant are gone, the guys who could actually get through to him to a point...the gang ties thing never had anything to do with it, and if Washington don't win I wouldn't be shocked if he starts this again. There's a reason a top 15 talent lasted to the second round in his draft year after all...
 
I feel like CJ's problems were solely mental, cause dude has run never taken hits. He'll probably be a gem to some team, especially if they have a decent RB game already. He did have flashes of Trent Richardson vision the past 2 years, but maybe he just got tired of Tennessee.
 
TO being cut divided a locker room; Desean being cut seems to have united a locker room.

I don't know how you can say that. It just happened and they're not even in the locker room yet.

Chris Johnson will do okay if he gets a line. I was never a big fan of his. Jets should really go after him.

Not sure why Dallas wants him unless he's playing defense for them.

Stilln no offense but how much longer are you going to attempt to prove to everyone that losing Desean is a good thing?

It's been days man.
We get it, you're happy he's gone :lol
Sheesh.

But the truth is he just made a division rival more dangerous, whether you guys are "united" or not.

I think it's pretty clear his teammates weren't crazy about him. Did you even read the article?
 
What are the reasons why D.Jax slipped to the 2nd round? No WRs went in the 1st that year.

The article that ES posted IS believable. I had a feeling there was rift between him and Chip.

Most people have a problem with the rumors surrounding WHY he was released. If it was for insubordination etc., people could roll w/ that. Citing gang ties and having a NJ.com article drop within hours of his release is a bit TOO coincidental for my likes and leads me to believe that someone from the Eagles organization was part of leaking baseless info.

Oh well...I'm beyond elated that he's on the Skins and hope he has a great year to really rub it in the faces of the Eagles FO.

His addition (at least on paper) makes the Skins, potentially, one of the most explosive offenses in the league.

If this backfires for the Eagles, Chip will be on the hot seat barring another playoff run.

Cool. You're a fly on the wall in the locker room, you know all the facts bro.

Washingtons happy, and your locker room is happy.

Win Win for all. :lol

I'm not proving they are better off because right now they aren't but after the draft we will see.

I have full faith in Chip until proven otherwise.
