the Eagles drafted Clay Matthews

...not really. but the 2011 NFL Draft did concluded today and the Philadelphia Eagles came away with 11 draft picks. 1 of them, whom (is that right?) i've had my eyes on but forgot, is LB Casey Matthews, younger brother of the Green Bay Packers LB Clay Matthews

he's no Clay, but he does have the same bloodline so he should be as a disruptive force to other teams as Clay was to us :) sposedly undersized, but is smart and athletic. Casey should be in line to compete for the MIKE or possibly help out on SAM

other draftees included:
rd 2 - Jaiquawn Jarrett S
rd 3 - Curtis Marsh CB
rd 4 - Casey Matthews LB & Alex Henery K
rd 5 - Dion Lewis RB & Julian Vandervelde C
rd 6 - Jason Kelce G & Brian Rolle LB
rd 7 - Greg Lloyd LB & Stanley Havili RB

i don't understand the extra need for RB but maybe it's for leverage purposes...and draftin a K certainly means David Akers oughta be on his tip top toes in tip top shape

not this time, Akers...

even Philadelphia Eagles David Akers couldn't help us win over the 2nd preseason game against the Cincinatti Bengals. maybe if the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string OFFENSE can score some touchdowns or even get near with the 40yards range maybe we'd have more than fuckin 9 points!! the Bengals completely dominated us in passing, rushing and quarterback pressure. the o-line looked atrocious on the 1st string as our savior, Kevin Kolb, managed to rush every throw near the endzone for what seems like a try-out game. oh, and thanks Jason Peters for losin us the only TD we had by Jason Avant for an illegal formation. 3 PRO-BOWL and you STILL fuck up! now...can't say the blame is ENTIRELY on you if fuckin Max Jean-Gilles don't line up right then you're looked @ to blame...either way, you have more experience and gets paid more so...STOP FUCKIN UP! Winston Justice did penalized us once too...so did Leonard Weaver. *S-FUCKIN-IGH!!!* like Chad Ochocinco said, "...it's only preason" - F THAT! get that shit straighten out!! and oh fuckin Michael Vick played like he just got outta jail airin out balls to the Bengals secondary all quarter long. and just when i was waitin to see Mike Kafka do well, this motherfucker tosses balls to no receivers in sight like it was a Nerf ball. fuckin beam that shit! regardless of Donovan McNabb's accuracy, he still beam the shit out the ball so you can't catch it if you were the defense if he hit the air or the ground...other notes: Jeremy Maclin has a contusion on his left arm after that catch, Joselio Hanson was feastin off T.O.'s dust as he caught a 40+yard pass from Carson Palmer, nice pick by corner Dimitri Patterson and safety Quintin Mikell, i don't know what happen but Trevard Lindley had a HORRIBLE tackle on the 2nd string RB and completely slid off him, and Brandon Graham had his 1st sack, if you could call it that...still don't see him pressurin any QB much :-\

go Eagles...yay...

15 points for David Akers

definately the unsung-hero of the Philadelphia Eagles. if it wasn't for him and his golden leg, i don't know how many games we would've won (ie: '09 vs Broncos)...with the Eagles' 1st string failin to scored in the red zones...it took Michael Vick and Martell Mallett to both rush in for the only TD of the preason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. granted we walked away with the 28-27 win but this can't keep happenin; relyin on David Akers to pull us through time after time. oh and don't get me started on Hoselio Hanson gettin burned on that one play that allowed the Jags to go like 50+ yards on us to a TD...tsk tsk...why is he still there? i don't know...eh, overall it was a B- game...if it wasn't for the awesome 2nd & 3rd stringers we'd be 0-1 in the preseason - yuck!
