A lot of people in this thread throwing shade at Alonso, he had damn near 160 tackles a couple years ago and didn't miss a single snap:merchant:




11 mil is far too much for a RB. Philly needs to build their D anyway, offense has never been an issue with chip Kelly. Darren sproles is effective in the pass and draw game, Philly won imo.

Before Foles got injured offense was an issue
11 different offense linemen
Maclin is levels behind Desean
Irregardless of the system you need talent.....the talent wins games against upper-echelon teams

Facts->Alonso played behind the best Defensive line in the NFL...W/O Alonso Bills still had a top3 defense

Shady just seems like a bad fit for the Bills...Mark Ingram fits way more with what Rex wants to do than Mccoy imo...and he'd be way cheaper. Still puzzled by this for the Bills, but its Rex...and Rex is an idiot when it comes to the GM side.

Roman is the offensive version of Rex. Ground and pounding with a back that loses a ton of yards doesnt seem like the right fit.

that I agree on. it is a weird fit for roman who doesnt like passing to backs. hell, alex smith barely passed to gore when harroman got here, and we know how much smith loved those checkdowns.

rumor is trade was down in 20 mins, so maybe no one even asked roman :heh:

sounds exactly how the Santonio Holmes trade went down...Rex has his way with the room.

What will the Eagles do with all of that space?
It opens up all kinds of possibilities. This is a scary thing to say after Philadelphia lived through the Dream Team, but the Eagles can sign whomever they want in free agency. Ndamukong Suh? The Eagles can comfortably give him a hefty signing bonus and an enormous guaranteed first-year base salary without having to corrupt their cap in years to come. Byron Maxwell might as well pack his bags now. Devin McCourty is in play. And this makes Jeremy Maclin easier to re-sign if the Eagles are interested. If you can dream it, the Eagles can do it.

The most interesting options, though, are a pair of offensive weapons Kelly might find to his liking. McCoy’s impending departure means the top running back on Philadelphia’s roster will be Chris Polk, with Darren Sproles limited to a situational role. Could the Eagles be interested in going after DeMarco Murray, a move that would weaken their division rivals in Dallas while giving Kelly a more consistent back who was fourth in the league in Success Rate last season?2 Or could the Eagles go after 24-year-old Packers star Randall Cobb, whose versatility could allow Kelly to line him up anywhere on the field as a mismatch?

There are reasons to argue against both options; Murray is coming off a year of overuse in Dallas, and the 5-foot-10 Cobb is hardly the sort of big, physical receiver Kelly seems to favor when he’s making the personnel calls. But it’s clear that part of this trade revolves around what the Eagles do with the cap space they’ve cleared out. McCoy for Alonso is curious. McCoy for Alonso and Cobb? That’s a lot more appealing if you’re an Eagles fan.

I read this article with a :comeon: on my face. There was a lot of stretching and speculation for Barnwell trying to turn this into a straight up Philly W.

Suh ain't coming to a team running a flex 3-4 where they just gave away their best offensive player two years straight and don't even have a QB. Some players are mercenaries, but Suh don't strike me as a cat that's gonna drop everything for a big ass deal. Maxwell don't seem like he'd leave a legit perennial Super Bowl contender for that neither.......shyt. That can be applied to McCourty too.

It'd be different if it was Beli dropping cats, but you think players ain't paying attention to how Chip is no fukks mode about people staying or leaving?

They set the franchise record for points without Desean last year and he added absolutely zero wins to the Redskins. Yea, McCoy and Jackson are talented, but their value is overstated as fukk. McCoy is gonna be 27 and RBs historically take a nose dive at 27.

Dan Herron, LeGarrette Blount, Eddie Lacy & Marshawn Lych were the starting running backs in the NFC & AFC Championship games....outside of Lynch all those dudes are completely replaceable. Lacy has his moments, but they won a Super Bowl with some unknown at running back and even with Lynch, Seahawks had him before Russell Wilson and were completely average. NFL is about situational running...3rd and short, 4th and short, etc. You don't need a "star" at running back.

Last 8 Super Bowl winners barely ran the ball in the Super Bowl. :heh:
Patriots - 59 yds
Seahawks - 135 yds
Ravens - 93 yds
Giants - 114 yds
Packers - 50 yds
Saints - 55 yds
Steelers - 58 yds
Giants - 98 yds

NFL is all about QB, Coach, O-Line & Defense. Receivers, Running Backs, Tight Ends don't need to be "stars". We ain't done a damn thing since McNabb, Lions have no playoff wins with Calvin Johnson, Cardinals haven't done shyt since Kurt Warner bounced, Adrian Peterson and the Vikings didn't win shyt once Favre got :flabbynsick:, Cowboys were a trainwreck when Romo went down in the middle of the year...with Dez & Demarco still in the lineup, etc.

:what:

Because Brandon Weeden isn't a NFL QB. Not only did Weeden have Dez and Spray Tan but, he also had that great O-Line and Jason Witten. Dallas was a trainwreck because Dallas didn't have a decent back up QB. People even said this before the season when Kyle Orton didn't resign with the Cowboys.

You literally just agreed with the point he was making. Come on man, learn to understand what you're reading and be better than this.

You can do it, I believe in you:obama:

Yall dudes man. Just say it was about the cotdamn money. Just say we didn't want to pay him, and hope that doesn't reflect on future free agents in a negative way. Don't put the "dwindling" of a young McCoy skill set, with a make shift qb and no deep threat who still rushed for 1300 yards, in the same breathe as what you can expect a dude coming off his 3rd fukking knee surgery :heh:.. Do not talk health and what we can expect in the next 3 to 5 years from these two , that's not an honest argument brehs.
