this is obviously a joke, but I'm missing the punchline?Son , if attitude is what turns a franchise around, the Lomardi Trophy would, by now, have been renamed the Carroll Trophy.
i'm wondering how asante feels about his signing with philly now.
I was listening to ESPN analyze the trade, and at one point, someone mentioned that the Redskins were trying include Haynesworth in the deal, which the Eagles declined. Found that interesting.

What amazes me is all the pundits saying that the 'Skins are now sure to have a better 2010 season than the Eagles. It's possible, but I'd put my money on the Eagles even with all the players they let go. They made the playoffs last year and they still have the same coach, whereas the Skins are starting over with a lousy team.
Deion Sanders was saying that for a young trio of WRs and a young QB to have instant success in the NFL is a very rare occurance,usually if you have a veteran between your QB and top 2 receivers you have a good chance but too much youth is hard to overcome quickly especially a young QB and 2 young WRs who will have to take time to really get in sync together,I think he is right in that regards.
IMO The Eagles have taken a serious step backwards in the NFC East.
The Skins should have a top 10 defense this year under Shanahan
Kolb and those WR have been on the same team learning the same system for a couple of seasons now. Since Reid himself drafted a replacement QB for McNabb only to keep talking himself into one more season disappointing after another. Whereas in DC a guy Shannahan never met before Monday evening when they had dinner to get acquainted post trade...who played for a guy under whom the pass first offense basically revolved around McNabb...will be playing for a HC who employs a zone blocking run scheme (his present OL is not capable of adapting to) and uses the run to set up the pass. McNabb will be learning a whole new play book and terminology, as well as building rapore with his lone veteran WR of any note and his TE.
Then we have the whole matter of everyone switching not only terminology but scheme as well on defense, as a team constructed to play 4-3 transitions to 3-4. Apparently without a willing nose tackle...
The Redskins presently have the 4th, 103rd, and 135th picks among the top 200 in the 2010 draft (they have no 2nd, 3rd, or 6th) to bridge a multitude of gaps... I'm sure Shanny will be praying for a trade down partner, but in some ways in trading for McNabb he has further limited the liklihood he can since he pushed a QB down the board. He also needs a LT who can start as fate would have it. But then he needs a lot more...
Philly meanwhile now has quite a nice collection of picks in a deep draft. 9 in the top 200 including a first, two seconds, two thirds, and two fourths which essentially gives them an opportunity to land several players with third round or better talent and grades.
There's one thing though....a few bad games by Kolb and Eagles fans will be chanting for Vick and that would change the whole dimention of that team.
