Dave, any chance the Eagles replace the LT for Foles first start?  I don't trust Bell on the blindside.  We don't need to get Foles killed.  What about Menkin?  Can he possibly do any worse than Bell?

I throw up whenever I hear the name Demetress Bell.

I already feel bad for Foles.

Bell + Dennis "turnstile" Kelly =  Dead Nick Foles by seasons end.

A lot of unknowns along the offensive line. I really don't know who is going to play where. Could Bell be replaced at LT? Heck yeah

Good thing Reid builds a team from the lines out or we would really be in trouble....

But the Eagles are way under the salary cap this year, Dave. That's the important thing!

14 seasons and this is the best Andy Reid can do? Allowing this to happen is a real dereliction of duty by Jeffrey Lurie. The organization is rotting from within due to the good ol' boy network and fear of change.

More importantly, what are the chances of Andy Reid getting bell some help by keeping a tight end or extra back to block. Hell no! It'll be bombs away with a five man line, an empty backfield, and foles in the shotgun.

Already getting flashbacks of Winston Bustice and that 2007 Giants game.

In the eagles defense Bell seemed like the right move at the time. Their situations at backup center and guards was obviously weak going into the season. And then to contradict my first point Roseman and Reid are supposed to be smarter than us so they should have evaluated Bell better. It's their jobs.

When Kelly took that big play away (1st quarter aginst the skins) with a hold I was mad as heck, and then I realized it was the first defender he managed to slow up since he was in the lineup. We're makin progress!

As for Bell, what a novel idea, a blind guy on the blind side.
