Absolute Fing stiff. Did this guy make one positive play last night? This trade is starting to look bad for both teams. I blame a lot of the defense's problems on Castillo but some of these guys on defense play like ****

[Tomokato]

He made that lovely play where he just stood there looking at the Bears player after he made a catch. Pretty much summed up our defensive woes this season.

im gonna post a video of that beauty later. That made me sick.

Castillo is not using a good portion of these players properly. A big reason as to why the Eagles defense looked better in the Washington & Dallas games is because they were playing a lot more man to man. Last night for me there was too much zone. Not that any of the Bears receivers are anything truly special, the holes in the Eagles coverage last night made them look special.

[Netherscourge]

I can not believe how horrible our Dream Team Cornerbacks looked last night.


Samuel was getting torched all night long. His groin injury defined his whole performance.

DRC was chasing more than covering.

And Asomugha didn't appear to be in position half the time.




3 slices of burnt toast. Complete, EPIC FAIL.

I almost chucked a beer bottle at my TV after that play.   Luckily the bottle was full, and I didn't. It would be a shame to waste good beer, and a TV, on that disgrace.

DRC took Knox completely out of the game.  What are you fools talking about?

I agree, DRC was not the GOAT last night - he made a couple bad plays.

But SAMUEL and ASOMUGHA were COMPLETELY TOASTED all night long.


Picking on DRC is ignoring the real problems.

I agree

How many times can you let a team convert a 3rd and long AND STILL PLAY THE SAME FAIL COVERAGE? That's what is frustrating about the defense as it is right now. Its extremely predictable in many situations and most teams can take advantage of it.

Cutler didnt throw to Knox last night because Bennett was open on every damned play. Anytime that DRC had the ball thrown his way or had to help with a tackle, he looked like a Fing girl. Am i the only person who saw this?

No..DRC was flat out horrible

The issue is the arrogance of the head coach. He believes his philosophy & game plans will work regardless of what else happens. He's so married to his game plan that when it's proven not to work out he doesn't know what to do.

All three CBs sucked last night.

If DRC didn't see many passes, it's because Asomugha and Samuel were too busy sucking it up.




DRC ain't off the hook either. But compared to what the other two guys are making $$$, he's the LEAST of my concerns.

Rumor has it he saw a spider on his shoulder pads and it frightened him.

DRC did his best Sean Considine impression last night...

I've seen Considine actually tackle someone with the ball though.

[GrahamCracker]

Time to see what Marsh and the rest of the guys can do. Samuel and DRC are heartless and soft. I've never seen players so quick to throw up their hands and give up. Pathetic and sickening.

[antiravis]

Remember when DRC was a "physical" corner to some TATEr's?

Personally, I saw a lot of off coverage from everybody. I got the feeling that our corners weren't challenging the receivers enough. And did we even get a hand on Cutler all night?

We never touched Cutler, but we did have that amazing play, where Cutler ran backwards, slipped, got up, and 3 Eagles missed him.

[TedMundy]

DRC IS NOT A F'ING SLOT CORNER WHEN WILL IDIOTS REALIZE CASTILLO IS THE PROBLEM. DRC IS AN OUTSIDE COVER CORNER. NNAMDI WAS PLAYING ZONE AGAIN, WHEN HE IS A PRESS MAN CORNER. WEVE SEEN ASOMUGHA GET BURNED TIME AND TIME AGAIN PLAYING ZONE. I GUESS CASTILLO IS HELL BENT ON MAKING HIM A ZONE CORNER. BLAME CASTILLO

[GrahamCracker]

Out of position or not, he shows little effort.

He said he wasnt comfortable with playing the position himself. He needs to be on the other side playing on the outside in Man coverage he needs to replace Asante on the outside. And they keep playing Nnamdi in zone which has not worked since the beggining of the season. THey played Nnamdi in man against th Cowturds why not stick with whats working THE PROBLEM IS CASTILLO, ONCE AGAIN. HE IS A F;ING IDIOT AND MIS USES OUR PLAYERS

Johnny who? Yeah, that's my whole point.

Looks like AZ knew what they were doing sending that guy to Andy Reid and crew.

[GrahamCracker]

Bragging about shutting out knox when 9 other players caught a pass.

Where's the .gif of that shirt tug missed tackle?

[phillyguyinaz]

DRC???? He was the one player that I did NOT want from the Cards roster (even the human turnstile, Levi Brown, would have been better  /s). I was not impressed with him when he was with the Cards and I hate him here. He's extremely talented physically - but he's like the really bright kid in school who underachieves academically - he doesn't give the effort to excel. The 'stand by and watch your team mates clean up your mistake' play made me sick - I saw the same attitude when he played in PHX.

[TedMundy]

WHEN WILL THESE RETARDS REALIZE HES NOT A SLOT CORNER. DRC IS AN OUTSIDE COVER CORNER BEING USED WRONG. JUST LIKE NNAMDI PLAYING IN ZONE WHEN HE GETS BURNED IN IT.

Why are we arguing about whether its Castillo OR the Corners?  Its obviously both.  Aso and DRC are not being put in a position to maximize their impact, but at the same time our player's aren't exactly performing well either.  They miss tackles, they get burned (Asante on every damn play last night), they blow coverage...  So we are in a situation where both our players and our coaches are underperforming.  Its not really a shock that we are 3-5 atm.  Honestly, I don't get why people come out of the woodwork to blame DRC who is getting paid next to nothing but let Asante's epic failures go when he's looking at damn near 10 Million bucks next season.

[wrosci]

It is both the players and the coaches.  Inconsistency is both the fault of the players and the coaches.  Since you can't get rid of the whole team you have to get rid of the coach and whoever is making decisions during the draft.  That is where the problems start, you can't expect our LB's to play like Briggs and Urlacher, because they do not have the talent, they were barely drafted.  If it is the coach's decision that LB's are not an integral part of the team, especially after last night's game, then he should be relieved of his duties, he does not understand the defensive part of the game.  When a coach has been allowed to continue this philosophy for 13 years and getting the same results, it is mind boggling that change has not been made.

We are halfway through the season and have not beaten a team with a winning record, and have been out coached by every team who has beaten us, leaving us at 3-5.  I can no longer accept the lockout and lack of OTA's and the new coaching changes as excuses. It was the same for every team, not just for Philadelphia. The object is to change to improve, not change to regress.  Sadly, this team and organization seems to have reached the point where mediocrity is acceptable.  Occasionally they will play a solid game as they did vs.Dallas  but then go back to being what they are, a 3-5 team.  What is really disheartening is that the coach will sell the lockout, no OTA's, new players and coaches to the owner as the reason for their terrible play and the owner will buy it and nothing will change.  Same old bad drafts, same old bad coaching, same old average to mediocre play, same old philosophy, and same old result: NO SUPER BOWL.

Probably because we've seen all 3 of them, Samuel and Nnamdi in particular, play at pro bowl/all-pro levels under other coaches. When the players have a history of great play, and the one thing that has changed is the coach they are now struggling under, there is only one conclusion to come to.
