Tux of Borg Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 There was an article up on CNN.com about philly being interested.
SACKMARINO Posted August 31, 2004 Author Posted August 31, 2004 My friend told me he saw that he agreed to terms with Eagles , on ESPN's bottom line.

Fake-Fat Sunny Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 My friend told me he saw that he agreed to terms with Eagles , on ESPN's bottom line. 12485[/snapback] Douglas deserved some consideration by the Bills because our DE situation lacks a huge sack threat, but since Douglas is an RDE rather than competition at LDE where we need an upgrade over Denney's performance last year there is a huge question as to whether he is a fit for us (particularly with only one pre-season game left on Thursday for him to learn a new role if he can. Also, from all I hear Douglas was a stand-up guy for Jax as a person but simply did not produce on the field. My guess is that given his drop-off in production last year, one should not count on Douglas for more than a reserve role and both Kelsay and Denney are younger players who can do that though neither has shown even starter talent yet, much less been a threat that forces OCs to scheme toward them making the rest of the DL better players.
Alaska Darin Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 It's kind of odd that high value Eagle players like Trotter and Douglas have burned out so quickly. Douglas was showing his age before he left for Jax (he was absolutely dominated in the NFC Championship game against Tampa - especially against the run), however.
justnzane Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 true that. Douglas is definitely not earning his keeo with the Jags. Who knows though? he could have a big year as a product of the Eagles D
The Jokeman Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 true that. Douglas is definitely not earning his keeo with the Jags. Who knows though? he could have a big year as a product of the Eagles D 12591[/snapback] The Eagles are definately a team that looks to be going for it all this year. Though I'm not sure Westbrook is strong enough to hold up for an entire season and be "the man" for their running attack. Not to mention some question marks in the secondary with the absence of Vincent and Taylor. In terms of the Jags, who do they have at DE now that Douglas and Brackens are gone?
justnzane Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Even if Westbrook can't handle the load they still have Buckhalter (who cut us up last year for a long TD run)
justnzane Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Even if Westbrook can't handle the load they still have Buckhalter (who cut us up last year for a long TD run)
The Jokeman Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Even if Westbrook can't handle the load they still have Buckhalter (who cut us up last year for a long TD run) 12621[/snapback] Apparently you missed Buckhalter to undergo season-ending knee surgery . They have since signed Dorsey Levens but I don't think he's an answer either.
justnzane Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Ok I take back that statement. I was in RA training up at college last week and I had practically no time at all. But Levens still might be good for a few carries
Lori Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 The Eagles are definately a team that looks to be going for it all this year. Though I'm not sure Westbrook is strong enough to hold up for an entire season and be "the man" for their running attack. Not to mention some question marks in the secondary with the absence of Vincent and Taylor. In terms of the Jags, who do they have at DE now that Douglas and Brackens are gone? 12619[/snapback] Paul Spicer, Lionel Barnes, Bobby McCray, Brandon Green, and Courtland Bullard (a college LB listed at DE on Ourlads' depth chart). Their 3rd-round pick, Jorge Cordova, is gone for the year with a knee injury. I repeat what I said earlier today: looking at that underwhelming list, the Jagwires must really figure Douglas is done to have cut him loose.... (As for the Iggles: watch Thomas Tapeh. He's listed as a FB, but I remember him being the "feature back" at Minnesota. Tough runner who could end up being better than Buckhalter, IMO....)
JStranger76 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Westbrook ran the long one. It sucked pretty bad either way.
