Fair enough TLL lol
Still good to see, need to see this against starters. The Eagles are well coached, even their backups.
I am encouraged but I am not a poo-poo'er.

I would've liked to have seen more than just Slayton signed on the DL (in terms of outsitde FAs) but I'm also glad Golden is here and excited to see what he can do.
For sure. I would of liked to of added more than Slaton, but we brought back talented guys in BJ Hill and Ossai as well.
I am sure if we added Odighizuwa and another End besides Ossai we would be saying we were muchly improved, but that is not
necessarily true either. I am willing to give the new coaches a chance to coach up the talented youth that Lou and the other coaches
could not. To act like we have no talent on Defense is just not true at all.

I bet we looked just as bad in preseason the year we went to the Super Bowl...
That almost ended really well if a guy named Spain made an effort to block AD.
