As long as the QB throwing it to him isn't Vick I'll be happy. And I don't want the Eagles to bring in Chip Kelly as coach.

FTR neither do i B-Hard but i think it seems a good marriage for Chip and FO, it will be interesting to see him in the pro game, but id rather the eagles not be the one to take the chance on him, i think there is a good chance they do though, and in that case, Jackson will be a valuable commodity for him... Id rather Jay (Not john) Gruden, Vic Fangio, Mike McCoy or Mike Zimmer

My top two choices atm. Defence is our main concern heading into next season imo. Would love either of those two being our head coach.

If Ken Whisenhunt goes at the end of the season for the Cardinals (There's a good chance at the moment). I'd love to have Chip Kelly as HC, I like his style. Either Chip or Our DC Ray Horton to take up the role.

Mike Zimmer has been a great DC for the last few years, to be honest I'm surprised he wasn't given a HC chance sooner.

My only issue with Fangio is he'll almost certainly want to run a 3-4 D, i think we've got the personnel to run it but it would not be an answer transition

Cox, Jenkins and Dixon can easily play DE in a 3-4 but we dont have a genuine NT. We'd have to look at drafting Star or Hankins. Maybe even Jesse Williams in the 2nd
Both graham and cole were 3-4 OLBs coming out of college, so i think they could be good enough, Kendricks and Ryans as ILB (although Ryans isnt as good in a 3-4)

We'd still need a new pair of safeties and some CB depth

Cox-Hankins-Jenkins
Graham - Ryans - Kendricks - Cole
DRC - Hughes (nnamdi cut, i think Hughes can genuinely play as a #2 CB, i think he's a genuine talent)
SS- FS (Allen might be able to stay, but Coleman and Anderson arent the answers, maybe Vic could bring Goldson with him)

I don't think Fangio will be a HC anywhere, I think he's at that stage of his career where if he were going to go down that path he would've done it already, to me he screams of life time coordinator.

I think Greg Roman is far more likely to be the Eagles HC, young, good track record, success in the pros and I believe he is a Philly local

Igwenagu, that was the one.

If we were to run the two running back setup moving forward he could be really valuable

Yea we moved Igwenagu off PS this week and he immediately got some snaps. He will be a useful role player if we commit to a run

not a fan?

Not overly. I'll gladly wear egg on my face if it goes the opposite, & I truly hope it does, but I still think he is a man amongst boys at the moment. I think his attraction will disappear quickly when he faces guys that don't fear him as much as the school kids do. By no means do I think he's a bum, but I don't see him hanging around in the big time either.

But again, I hope I'm wrong before I hope I'm right.

They have a great power back in McCoy and a top notch WR in Jackson, they also have Ryan's and Trent Cole and some good DB . They have the players if there healthy

Can't see Vick being there next year
I don't know about Foles at QB

Are Eagles fans expecting Reid to be there next year?

No i think everyone is expecting reid to be fired
im not as certain as i should be he will be fired, but the expectation is based on the owners comments last off season that "another 8-8 season will not be acceptable"

we're probably going 4-12. Surely if Lurie was expecting a 10 win season with a deep play off run and we turned in a sub .500, its time to let the coach go, even if you're as fond of Ried as Lurie is and even if you know he's still a good coach.

Reid will be let go. I've got no doubt about that anymore. Its not just him but the team needs a fresh look. I like the guy and I'll be sad to see him go but he just can't get us over the hump. He's made to many mistakes over the past few years for him not to get the ax.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this team move forward in a new direction.

So Foles broke his hand during the Skins game and Vick will get one last hurrah for the Eagles in 2012.

I get the feeling he is going to get hurt again based on the guys up front

Kinda cool that he kept playing. Sucks we give Vick another game though. I'm ready to move on. I like him and since he's been with Philly he's been a changed man. But I'm over it.

Also anyone heard about the rumours Eagles are after Chip Kelly are getting stronger. I'm not to sure about it as I think Foles should be our QB next season. *shrugs* Least there is only 1 game left.
