Everyone says the Eagles need to add another playmaker on offense. I believe the Eagles priorities should be adding another big time (1)defensive end to put opposite
Trent Cole, (2) Adding a Saftey and or corner that will be able have an impact right away. The draft is loaded with 1st round corners this year. (3)Playmaker on offense and special teams. In the Devon Hester world of football the Eagles must have a return man.
Brian Westbrook almost saved them during the Seattle game but you cannot ask him to do everything. They need to dig deep in the draft and get a return man.
Eddie Royal had an outstanding career at Virgina Tech and I believe he could be the Return man the eagles need. I also think he could turn into a playmaking wide reciever. Here is my thoughts on adding a playmaker on offense. I have looked all over the web at reliable sources such as prosportsdaily.com as well as GCobb.com and there seems to be no truth to the rumor that the eagles are attempting to work out a trade for Detriot Wide reciever Roy Williams. Williams is a very big reciever that would provide an instant redzone threat to the Eagles offense. The season in which the eagles made a move to get
Terrell Owens, he was the cream of the crop. This year if the eagles are willing to make a move there are large number of playmaking wide recievers that may be available via free agency or trade. There are rumors that Roy Williams, Chad Johnson, and
Larry Fitzgerald are all unhappy with their current situations. Fitzgerald went to Howard Eskins show from the Superbowl and said if he was traded he would be happy to be an Eagle. Free agency offers Donte Stallworth who would almost certainly test the market after having to take a backseat to
Randy Moss and
Wes Welker this season. I would love to see him back in an Eagles Uniform.
Bernard Berrian is a young reciever who has big play potential and has put up good numbers with very shaky quarterback play. I would also love to see him in an Eagles Uniform. I am assuming that
Randy Moss is going to resign with the Patriots but at what price? If they put the franchise tag on Moss they will have a pay him a large salary. If not, will Moss, at his age test free agnecy and see if he can get one more big contract?
Dallas Clark is also a free agent but I do not see a good organization like the Colts letting Clark walk. After the superbowl there are rumors spreading that the Gaints and
Jeremy Shockey are not on the same page. Shockey was not seen around the Gaints facility much after breaking his leg. Gaints TE
Kevin Boss had a good playoff and came up with a 45 yard reception in the superbowl. Would Andy Reid take a shot at a personaility such as Shockey if he could get him at a cheap price? Bottom line is the Gaints just won the superbowl. I am not taking anything away from the Gaints they are the best team in the NFL. But come of people it was the Gaints pass rush that was able to hit
Tom Brady like hes never been hit before and thats what won them the Superbowl. (Sorry Eli you did make some great plays) The management needs to attack this year in the draft and free agency and make another run at the Superbowl. You saw what Osi,Strahan, and Tuck did in the superbowl. It is yet to see what Abiamiri can do and Thomas is a solid end. The Eagles Defense is young and promising and the offense needs another treat.
Brian Westbrook is a star in the prime of his career and strikes fear into opposing defenses. Mcnabb still play at a very high level if you give him a reciever. So this is my cry to Eagles management please go get Jared Allen to kill quarterbacks with
Trent Cole. Go get Any of the recievers and Te's listed above and have defenses scratching there head about how to account for the eagles recievers while still having to worry around where Westbrook is at all times. Go get a big time corner and saftey in the draft. Draft
Eddie Royal and put this offense in good field position when we get the ball. I love you
Reno Mahe but just catching the ball doesnt cut it anymore(Althought you would have been great for the Green Bay game.) Come on management get it done! Let this team have another shot at the Superbowl.
