Chip Kelly sure taught Jackson a lesson

[Ellsworth]

I was furious when it happened and this weekend just tore the scab off.

Luckily I picked it up and shoved it down some asshole's throat in the parking lot while my kids screamed "MAKE DADDY STOP!!!" And begged God to intervene.

Where's your messiah now, kids?

[Overbrook]

Ells comes face to face with his messiah.......

Myths McLane suggests there's a lingering DJAX issue in the locker room.

. Chip Kelly has a problem and it may be in the locker room. His decision to release DeSean Jackson and bring back Riley Cooper was never going to please every player on the team. Kelly obviously knew that. But it certainly raised eyebrows from a certain faction of the locker room and in recent weeks there have increasingly been murmurs from several players about the decision. The way the Eagles lost on Saturday, with Jackson delivering daggers to the defense, prompted two players to lament his absence to me. “And then [Jackson] burns us,” one starter said. “That hurt because you think, ‘Damn, he should be on our team. Why he isn’t he on our team?’” Another player: “I miss him. We miss him. … It was a mistake.” There are others, but they’re unwilling to go on the record for obvious reasons. Jackson said after the game that some of his former teammates were telling him as much even during the game. “They constantly tell me how much they miss me and they wish I was still there, but that’s a decision they chose to make in the front office.” Let’s be clear: It was Kelly’s choice. Right or wrong, it’s had ramifications in the locker room. It’s unclear if it will fester.

The first player is probably Bradley Fletcher (or even Sconces) and the second McCoy. Meh.

Who Cares? Really, just like the constant, "I can't believe we didn't draft Earl Thomas" crap. Get over it already, Jackson is gone and he's not coming back. Move on already.

[TRENT]

Yes I agree but it was a Bone head move!

and as far as Im concerned I hold chip accountable for that,,were not a playoff team this year largly impart to losing our QB's on offense and defense,,,DJ made this offense formidable. U can't just go out and buy that without some kind of price tag,,,in this case it was His mouth,,,SO DEAL WITH IT!

I am still a Chip guy, but there is no justification for just cutting DeSean Jackson. Jackson opened up the field, made Shady more of a threat, etc. Imagine Shady Sproles and DeSean lined up at the same time. Too bad that's all we can do. Imagine it.

I'm still giving Chip the benefit of the doubt to get this team going again and manage the locker-room.

However, next September if Riley 'Bubble-Blocker' Cooper is getting $5 million a year from this team but they deem Maclin too expensive to re-sign, I'm gonna change my tune real, real quick.

Don't forget Maclin, Georgie. IMO, the attack would've almost unstoppable with that crazy amount of talent on the field at the same time. Like most people, I thought DeSean was a PITA diva but you don't just let the guy walk away when he brought so much to the table....makes no sense.

I think Maclin's gonna be a tough sign. He didn't gamble to take a low ball contract.

He outplayed my expectations but he's still not top five in my opinion. Shouldn't give him top five money which I think he wants. They made a huge mistake on Coopers contract but doubt they will cut him loose. Matthews and Huff will stay. Wouldn't shock me if they overpay Maclin and there's no change at WR. Meh.

Critical move is drafting a qb. Can't put all the eggs in Foles basket.

No he did not

If Howie has another draft like last year's

it won't matter what they draft.

[McCarthy12]

I think Howie gets lost in all of the talk about Chip, etc. The Marcus Smith pick was absolutely horrendous. Imagine if they drafted one of the several corners who have contributed on other teams this year. That could have been the difference between this mess and making the playoffs. Instead they drafted a guy WHO COULDN'T EVEN MAKE SPECIAL TEAMS. I heard G Cobb twice this past week say that he has been told that Smith doesn't like to hit. A linebacker who doesn't like to hit, that's who Howie used a first round pick on.

I pretty much have Mark Sanchez level confidence in Howie's ability to draft.

[Loki]

Linebacker that hates to hit, and a WR that hates to hold onto the ball.

Huff....ack...imagine if the Eagles had been smart enough to draft one of the WRs that actually can play instead of Huff. Can you see Brown opposite Maclin?


Well, Howie can't blame Joe for this past draft.


On his Monday call in show at WIP, Howie answered a caller's complaint about not trading up a spot or two to get Dix. Howie actually waxed on and on about the value of the 4th round pick that it probably would have taken to move up. And THEN he mentioned that he wasn't even sure if Dix would have fit into the Eagle's culture. WAT!?!
