>>DDD: didn't see Howie. sorry can't give you feedback on his interview. He IS a bright guy.

Lurie is too concerned about innovation and not concerned enough about discipline and execution. Lurie thinks and speaks like an investor / owner. Neither Lurie or Roseman or Smolenski are operations guys. The Eagles are a flippin' accounting firm: Lurie-Roseman & Smolenski Accountants R Us.

Lurie talks about football INNOVATION like its a tax strategy. I wanted to PUKE. No way I could listen to Roseman.

Woody..that displays of weakness yesterday pretty much sumed up the last 2 years of AR. That D quit...ASO is so soft...plays 7 yards off the WR...into the EZ and still commits a PI.

well...let your ears bleed. Howie said Don and I will talk to as many people...meaning interviewees for HC, and give our findings to Lurie for the final decision. Meaning Howie's output equals Lurie's input.

the name Lovie says it all...maybe on Gilligan's Island.

Woody...we won't see a primetime game next year.

>>DDD: It is a process that characterizes Lurie. He trusts his financial captains to give him an accurate report. Lurie's chat today gave great insight as to WHY Mornhinweg was indulged despite being ineffective. Football Innovation is what drives Lurie these days. After a couple more 4-12 seasons, Lurie will discover that innovators rarely win. Its the teams that can execute most reliably that win.

yes..he clearly talked about offensive innovations.

Normally...the flashy players are weak and soft.

[GreenFeathers]

Wood -- that's the one thing I need to see eliminated from this team next year..the softness. The prettiness. The flash. I hate all of it. Sure, it made our team exciting for a few seasons....gave us a reputation as a "high octane" team....please, no more of that B.S. I want teams to fear our defense again. I want to run the ball down people's throats (EVEN IF THE RUN ISNT WORKING RIGHT AWAY) and pick teams apart with constant conversions.

I want to see the coach getting pissed on the sidelines, even if we're winning. I want to see a defense that swarms the ball-carrier and makes sure he hits the ground HARD on every single play. Make them apologize for ever thinking they could get a first down on us. That's what I want...a Philly Football team. Not that fluff we've been force-fed for the past 5 years

Hey Egypt, hows the lawn cutting business going... I heard you make $25 an hour now... We're all so proud.

[DDD1952]

The worst thing about football today...everybody makes it complicated. Block and tackle really good...goes a long way.

[Dr Funt]

2 things we suck at... Go figure.

[GreenFeathers]

That's the problem with trying so desperately to win. We had all these big-name guys who were SUPPOSED to already know how to play football...they were expected to be good so the coaches spent less time trying to get our younger guys to learn the (dare I say it) fundamentals. They preached fundamentals but obviously weren't coaching them. Maybe if we cut all the dead weight divas, we can focus on turning our young guns into intelligent football players

[BleedingGreen93]

Wupper....my only concern with Lovie the issues that his teams seem to have on the O side of the football that he could never seem to correct....Would love to have him as like a DC if we could

[mybandderanged]

What should have happened was they should have made Andy take this year off to mourn his son and ran with a interim head couch and be bring Andy back this coming up year.  Thats just my two cents.

[DDD1952]

93...Lurie said Howie's responsibility for the draft did not start until 2012. They also streamlined the evaluating process under Howie which probably led to his contract extension nobody knew about for some time. Yet Howie was made GM in 2010...what role as GM was he doing in 2010 and 2011?

[BleedingGreen93]

3D....following AR's orders i don't know lol

mercy...why is our structure so confusing?

Woody...93...Howie said the organization will draft BPA...from now on...think that way...in your Machers.

[BleedingGreen93]

3D....then i'm seeing either Star Lotulelei or Luke coming to the Eagles come april as of right now

Lurie said Howie was the best talent evaluator in the NCC.

[BleedingGreen93]

3D....if what Lurie said is true about 2012 being Howie's first draft he looks to have done a very good job

[DDD1952]

JETS sign Jaiquawn Jarrett to future contract.

Howie said in 2012 they went with BPA...before they were filling needs with BPA by position.

[rehabmax]

Before we anoint Andy as the Eagles coaching god we need to take his whole coaching career  with the Eagles in context.  He had good years early on and the peak was in 2004 with the Superbowl visit.  The team was up and and down since then, never again winning an NFC championship.  Yes he has the most wins but he had 14 years to get those numbers.  Most of the the wins came in the earlier years of his tenure.  I wish him more success elsewhere.  I think his coaching style needs to evolve if he is to be successful again.  It did not happen in Philadelphia.  The team and fans deserve better than what Andy can now offer.  Goodbye and good luck.

[DDD1952]

haha...Marc Sanchez rated worst QB.

93...Josh McDaniel's to stay in NE...surprising.

[DDD1952]

MV calls out teammates...we saw it too...Mike...yesterday was disgraceful. http://m.nfl.com/new...cost-reids-job/

[DDD1952]

Woody...always said MV played hard and many times hurt. I agree...his teammates yesterday didn't belong on the same field with him.

[BleedingGreen93]

3D...good I didn't want Josh Mcdaniels he has only had success with NE no other team....I failed as HC of the Broncos and OC of the rams

3D....Lurie is leaving the QB position up to the new HC Foles might not be are guy next season depending on the coach
