Eagle Fans - Reggie Brown is Working out Hard to Please US!

"Of course, things are going to be harder on Reggie," Baskett said. "He's the guy who has been the starter here for the longest. [Fans] put it on him to be the leader of the receivers.

"But I'll tell you this, personally from working out with Reggie this year compared to last offseason, he's taken it upon himself. Nothing was his fault, but Reggie has taken it on himself to make himself better. He's doubled his workouts. He doesn't want to settle for less than the best this season."

Baskett said that one thing people overlook when analyzing the Eagles receivers is that this year, they will have a full offseason routine of work with quarterback Donovan McNabb.

Because McNabb was recovering from a knee injury from the 2006 season, he missed all of the minicamps and was not up to full speed during training camp last year.

I believe in Brown but it's time to walk the walk...or walk your ass out of philly

u know i think even if brown destroys the stats... i don think he will be considered a gamebreaker ever..... its jus eagle pedigree.... anything eagles grown will usually get N O respect..... look at curtis.... 1000 yard receiving in a new offense and playing a new harder position in a harder division.... and still no respect.... watever... im not concerned bout having that chad johnson... i jus want wins.... if they diliver touchdowns i could careless... and im not gunna hold my breath on brown being regarded as a larry fitzgerald or a marvin harrison... he wears green... westbrook wears green and it took his whole career to get respect..... we were a top offensive unit last season, and a top defense unit too boot... all we need now is more turnovers,(asante samuel), better field position,(desean jackson), and redzone efficiency(L.J. Smith)......

Couldn't have said it better Eagle_Fanatic. I believe he can step it up this year. I have a little faith in Baskett too.

Oh yeah, I like Baskett as well and since I heard he's in AZ with McNabb and others working hard, I expect nothing but good things...

good this guy was such a tool last pre season all his interviews he was laid back not working hard saying he wants to take it ez when he was dragging ass in the pre games he said he was saving it for the season except when the season came he was in no type of shape to do anything and looked totally lost on the field

Your right johnb1027 and he learned the hard way but it looks like he is on the right path this time around

Kevin Curtis was 23rd and Reggie Brown was 36th in receiving yards last season. Hopefully it can only get better. In our pass-happy offense there is no excuse for not having a WR in the top 15 in receiving yards. I know Westbrook gets a lot of the action, but Reggie Brown should be an 80-catch, 1000-yard receiver every single year. If he turns in another one like last year, it should be his last in Eagles green.

Reggie will have his best season to date this year, he knows he has to.

This is what I want to see, I guy that steps up to the challenge. This year will be our year, I can just feel it.

i totally hate reggie brown he is so inconsistent.

I agree Bro he doesn't impress me....We will see

Eagle Fanatic said it best....There's no other way to put it....

I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT!!! THE DUDE HAS NOT IMPRESSED ME AT ALL!!!!!!!

me either the guy is just not a good receiver and ALL OF YOUS THAT THINK HE IS GOOD THEN YOUS DONT WATCH ALL OF THE EAGLES GAMES

I LIKED HANK BASKETT BUT LAST YEAR WHERE THE HELL WAS HE,I REALLY BELEIVE IN HIM

Hard to make plays when you never see the field. There had to be something going on behind the scenes that put him in Andy's doghouse.

yeah, that probably is the reason!!! i'm still trying to figure that out myself about hank??????

reggie brown has always been one of the hardest working eagles on the team
and hard work never makes you anything but better so things can only be looking up for reggie brown

i still say we should give avant a chance to take reggie's place!!! hoping he gets some more time on the field to get that game experience. give reggie some competition maybe that will wake his azz up!!!

if reggie brown is our only hope for a #1 receiver this year, then i'm gonna need to start buying the pepto in bulk. i'll need a lot of it this season...

LOL!!!! You may need a bottle of barcardi 151 too!!! it helps you 4get that he sucks!!!!

Man i took a look at Reggie Browns numbers vs Todd Pinkstons the other day.And Reggie's measure up to be considerably better.Granted Todd Pinkston is no hall of famer but he was a gd receiver while he was here.Reggie needs a big year to cement himself as a legit receiver. I like H Baskett it seems like he excels at blocking and thats what he was used as last year. I hope he gets on the field more this year ,he should be killing 3rd and 4th corners with his height and leaping ability. Hopefully Greg Lewis is cut this year

He Gotta Wake up the whole fact of a possible trade earlier this yr for a Star WR should Startle u an wake u up to be better and not slack off even though inconsistant he did have solid numbers an was there when it was crucial last time i checked most of his TD were in our Redzone.... or 5 to 10 yrds into the Redzone but he should to very well he has Woken up he needs to he got AVANT behind him he gotta watch out n to me it seems like Kevin is our NUMBER ONE so lets see he should be Good this yr....

you know philly's nickname for pinkston when he was in town was stinkston, right?....

Reggie is a very good receiver. He was inconsistent at the beginning of the year but he came on strong towards the end of the year. Reggie has a reputation as a hard worker. If he is working even harder this year, I hope he is doing it the right way, and don't end up with a tear or pull. A healthy #5 will mean a lot to Reggie. I also expect a lot more out of Avant this year. We will see if the stores about him playing last year with an injury are true. Despite all of the chatter about a number #1 receiver, I think the Eagle receivers will prove to be one of the best groups in the league this year.

idk about brown i mean i hope he does well but i just dont have confidence in him like i did in his rookie year

reggie brown

Being that the possibility of bringing in an established #1 is dwindling by the hour, the only thing I hope for now is that Greg Lewis be dismissed. Every WR but him brings something different yet positive to the field. They just don't have a multi-dimensional star(excluding Westbrook from the equation). Lewis brings NOTHING and honestly shouldn't have a place in this league. The fact that the receiving corp is in AZ working out with McNabb is encouraging though.

greg lew is a patriot killer though!!! if he 's released he'll get picked up by the pats!!! bill cheater loves the dude!!! it's the only reason we keep him!!!

You mean to tell me they'd keep an undrafted, 8th string receiver just to prevent him from going to a squad we won't play again (excluding a possible Super Bowl rematch) until 4 years from now when he's possibly out of the league for good yet just two years after they released their best receiver since Mike Quick only to watch him sign with their archnemesis???? That's comical!!! LOL

FOR ALL EAGLES FANS REGGIE BROWN IS NOT CHRIS HENRY!!!! POTENTIAL IS THEIR FOR REGGIE WITH DESEAN JACKSON IN THE FOLD,CHRIS HENRY IS THE DUAL THREAT W VET EXPERIENCE!!

since htkrocks is a blocker and doesn't like people to respond to his posts and follows people around to thumb down every comment!!! belicheater has already said publicly he'd take g-lew if released!!! as for letting t.o. go it was the front office that released him maybe hoping he'd spread his cancer elsewhere what a better place than dallas to spread the t.o. virus!!!

Didn't mean to block you LILCHICKLET!! The bottom line is: I WOULD LOVE FOR LEWIS TO GO TO THE PATRIOTS IF IT MEANS HE ISN'T ON THE EAGLES!! HE'S WORTHLESS!! HE'S PINKSTON-ESQUE!!!! MEANWHILE, T.O. IS IN DALLAS HELPING THEM BE A CONSISTENT CONTENDER. If they can cut T.O., they can- better yet the need to- cut Greg Lewis. Feel free to respond anytime sir!!

I seriously wonder how many WR they will keep this yr An please if ur going to Keep WR please make it a Requirement to actually use WR to help us out an keep our Top WR Healthy an Rested... Seriously if ur not going to keep Baskett an utilize him well as a WR not so much as a blocker on Special teams than make him useful he can be a Threat in the Redzone okay maybe he may not get that many TDs but lets utilize him if we r gonna keep him... if not lets do something... Avant i like we should use him more... But it seems like it will be Curtis brown jackson avant baskett n if we keep 6 either glew or shaheer mcbride thats a long shot but anything is possible but the latter WR were in ARizona getting some chemistry with Mcnabb (avant baskett and Booker) Seems like there is some kind of game plan going on here they may be utilized in some needed plays to silence Critics while our top WR Rest because the offense this going to shock alot of people... Defense wont know what to Face Either Jackson- Westbrook- Curtis- Booker- lj smith- mcnabb-celek- glewis- brown- thats 9 players on offense that should worry defenses but that if it all clicks this yr.

Hey who thinks Kevin Curtis is going to have an explosive Game against the RAMs... come Gameday.... Figure he knows there Defense from practicing against them..... he should have a field day come sept. 7 in philly against the Rams.............

yea i expect him to have a great game and i expect the eagles to win

if t.o. is making dallas a consistent contender HTKSUCKS!!!!! how come they can't win a playoff game???? chances are if we do make it back to the superbowl we would play the pats!!! so if does go to the pats he'd haunt us!! it's already proven he has big games against the pats!!! besides for the money he's great role model and not 2 bad on special teams!!!

LOL!!!! HTKSUCKS??? That was kinda funny!!! Now, back to this lovely debate......T.O. didn't lose those games, Tony Romo lost both playoff games!! T.O. just happen to be the one on camera looking like sissy defending his QB for once. If he cried like that for McNabb after the Super Bowl he'd actually probably still be in an Eagle. But that's neither here nor there. Greg Lewis had one good game last year that happened to be against the Patriots(4 rec, 88 yds, 2 TDs) but for the ENTIRE YEAR he had 13 rec, 265 yds, 3 TDs. Kevin Curtis almost did that against the Lions. In the Super Bowl he just happend to have 6 rec 53 yds and his first ever NFL TD!! WHOOPTIE DOO!!! The only reason Belichik would take him would be to help his Defense because that's the ONLY team Greg Lewis has had any success with. As far as Special Teams....after his "deer in the headlights" lookin fumble he should've been cut and not J.R. Reed.

he's never been a returner on special teams though!!! he always played gunner!!! i'm sure you remeber the super bowl we played against them? g lew had a great game!!! kelvin martin was nothing spectacular when we had him and when the cowpies got him he came back and would kill us!!! he's not that bad as fill in receiver and out of those 13 receptions i'd say half of them were in 3rd and crucial situations!! he can get open when it counts. he's not taking up that much money in cap space and he not a drama queen!!! i really truly believe t.o. is a distraction for romo!!! it's just that the cowboys can handle the situation better than our front office!!! t.o. whines when he don't get the ball enough he probably blames romo for when he drop a pass!!! it's just that the cowpokes keep out of the media and t.o. knows no other team will have him!!! he's the best receiver we ever had grant it!!! i miss the guy!!! but g lew was never put on the team to be the #1!! he has a role and i think he's not really that bad for the role he's in!!! sorry for callin you that too!!! had to get back at you for calling me something!!! it's all good though!!!! like blogging with people that back their opinion!!!

No need to apologize, sir. Like I said, I thought it was funny. I think the most important thing for the Eagles from a WR standpoint is that it's time for Reggie Brown to finally step up. There's no signs of the Eagles pursuing any other players this year, and Brown has 3 yrs of Reid's offense under his belt so there's no more room for excuses....

you know what eagles fans, this is the problem. You claim to be eagle fans but allll you do is hate on the eagles
You think the eagles are going to play better if you go to lincoln financial field and boo them?
or you think sean considine is going to become the best player he can be if you go to training camp and get all over him?
Or do you think reggie brown is going to play better because you say he sucks and we need to trade him?
or do you think andy reid is going to call plays just the way you like them and if he doesnt your going to boo him and the team?

this makes no sense, other teams have home field advantages and the eagles have more trouble at home because all the fans do is boo them
they got killed at home last year to the cowboys while all the eagle fans were booing, and then went down to dallas and won

instead of telling the players that they suck, maybe you guys suck as fans

True fans boo, when their expectations aren't being met. They're not hating, they're just honest about their feelings, especially when they feel their team isn't putting out their best effort.

ya but as fans we should be cheering and creating a homefield advantage.. out players dont play better when we are booing
we should want the eagles to win more games, and booing prevents that

i'm supposed to cheer and be happy when it's 3rd and 1 and we throw a pass??? i'm supposed to cheering and whooping it up when considine can't make a simple tackle cause he's scared??? maybe i'm supposed to cheer when reggie clown can't catch cold??? fans are honest in this city!!! they expect the best and have been frustrated and disappointed for years by this team!!! us as eagles fans can see what weapons we need to win so do the experts!!! so why is it that the front office can't see it or refuse to see it and do something about it??? i guess if my kid does something wrong and mess up i'm not supposed to correct him either??? i should tell him it's ok to fail and smart mouth back to me??? we been supporting them and they refuse to do what it takes to win the super bowl?? cheering don't help so there's only one other choice!!!

can somebody say...BREAKOUT YEAR

I really hope the eagles use 2 tight ends this season celek and smith to help block for westbrook on the screen passes and also blocking mcnabb and redzone production. That would help the offense alot using 2 tight ends

it would but the eagles like fullbacks instead. besides that may work so reid will refuse to do it!!!

ok you guys are right.. its a good decision to boo the team
makes a lot of sense to me

Its Hard to Say Who Will have a Great yr or semi Good yr from our Offense Kevin Curtis is obviously a Front runner hands down i know im optimistic but i wouldnt doubt it if he gets the numbers or almost the numbers T.O got when he was with us.... U got to Admit it whether ur an eagles Fan or not that for a 3rd string WR leaving his Team going to a new team with a West Coast Offense(Hard as hell offense) and getting use to the System an amassing over 1000 yrds in one yr with a Hurt QB with an Aging Offensive line... Out of the Slot which he isnt even really suppose to play at he is suppose to play the Slot thats where he is known to be the Most Dangerous.... Come on this dude is Solid and Fast u gotta give it to him... TE'ds were injured we finished 8-8 an we have a WR that amassed 1000 yrds or more that is reassuring going into the The next season that one ur Weapons are ALLL healthy an if u can gain yards n score ur going to Win.... In this Order was Westbrook number one on our offense Kevin than Reggie......... okay reggie was alright this past yr but he did help he did score he got over 700 yrds an even if it isnt kevins number he still did his Doing.... an made plays when it counted the most for us....
