Do you realize the Eagles have not drafted a better than mediocre quality linebacker

I refuse to be a victim of Stockholm Syndrome. Kendrick is far from elite.

I don't know if Kendricks is above average, yet . . . but Barry Gardner was well below average. Kendricks>Gardner

Kendricks has made more big plays in 2 years than Gardner made in his whole career with 4 different teams. His INT last year in the "NFC East championship game" where he stole the ball from Witten was a pivotal moment in the game.

I agree with this post

Not saying he's the Next William Thomas,,but the kid has the potential to a good one.

That's the word: potential. Kendrick had potential, three seasons in. Meanwhile, Bobby Wagner, Lavonte David, Zach Brown are all players.

Kendrick had potential. Cox has potential. Marcus Smith has potential. When will the Eagled draft a defender who is a player out of the box?

Cox has been a dissapointment

but Mike has done well,,you can see the defense slow down when he's out,,,we are stronger with him in there...its year 2 of going to 3-4, Ill give him this year.

Cox need to give pass rush, thats why we drafted him,, to push the pocket..I have yet to see it. Kendriks makes plays!

Cox, Kendricks, et al..

So let me get this straight. The Eagles need to draft elite stud players at every position, in every round of every draft. Kendricks is above average as an ILB. As for the comment about Cox needing to get more sacks, I refer to the comment that is this only year 2 in 34 defense. If I understand correctly, 34 D ends don't usually rack up a lot of sacks every year. Control the line and let the OLB get the stats. I could be completely wrong, but I am sure that if I am, all the former NFL GMs, scouts, and coaches will be sure to point it out. Maybe all the young guys will finally get it together and the Eagles will have Pro Bowl players at every position. Though if that were to occur, all the former Pro Bowl players on here will lament the fact they didn't all get selected as MVP, or Offensive or Defensive Player of the year. By ehte way, "advanced statistics" are really great. I wonder why that isn't displayed on the score board......

Wait

I refuse to be a victim of Stockholm Syndrome. Kendrick is far from elite.

are we talking Kyle Kendrick now? If so, I agree with you, if not then I don't.

When was the last time the Eagles drafted even ONE elite stud player anywhere on defense? The last Pro Bowler drafted by the Eagles was Trent Cole in 2005. And he was a fifth rounder! Drafting him was almost an accident.

Dude I couldnt even get through the post

was like 6 thoughts running into each other...I would say Corey Simon was the last good DL we didn't miss on.. as for Cox...I never said he needed sacks..I said Push the pocket...there is a huge diff..if U take a guy in the12th spot.DT.....he should be a beast! command the double team...so far I haven't seen that..
