Did you hear about the Eagles releasing Jeff Garcia, and signing LB Jeremiah Trotter?
I got 2 questions.
1. The Eagles released Jeff Garcia today just 2 weeks after signing him. It was really awkward. I'm wondering why did they sign him with Vick coming back and keep Kolb as the starting QB only to release him?
2.How much do you think Jeremiah Trotter helps the Eagles now?

Sup KONJ.
Garcia was signed as insurance. Eagles were not sure what they would get out of Kolb for him starting. Well the kid has gone the best route for QB's sit watch and learn. Now in his first 2 games hes passed for over 300yds. Hes is the FIRST QB in NFL history to do that in his first 2 games. And ok he threw 3 picks against the Saints in a loss but when the Defense is getting 48 dropped on em you got to try to make things happen.
Eagles are 2-1, have the BYE this week then the rest of October schedule is pretty good for them (TBay, Oak, Wash). November is when it picks up. Donovan is scheduled to get action on the 10/11 game against the Bucs.
Trotter is a lotto ticket basicly. Not costing much but if it hits could be a good payout. Worth a shot.

1. On week 2, Kolb would be the only available QB. If the Eagles hadn't got Garcia, and Kolb was injured, we would be screwed.
2. I like Trotter, but I think he is way too old and slow now to be a good run stopper.

The Eagles are actually not afraid to shrink a guy, despite in the event that they're properly enjoyed, in the event that they think of his terrific days are at the back of him. they're masterful at identifying who to shrink, and in many circumstances they don't play the terrific soccer on their new group. many of the time... Trotter had undesirable knees. He replaced into turning out to be a criminal duty interior the passing game. Plus, Eagles run-protection wasn't the terrific final year. so as that they pulled the plug on Trotter and are sticking in somebody else. they could desire to be effective. Jim Johnson (shielding coordinator) will do a stable activity with the D.

1. Im sorry, Kevin Kolb is a really crappy QB, I mean what's the point of signing Garcia if they release him two weeks later. But i hate Kolb and they should just release him instead of Garcia.
2. I think he can be a good backup-but that's about it.

We needed a back up for the Saints game and The AXE MAN will bring some excitement to the defense. We need somebody to step up and be a leader on D. Granted he wont play that much but he will be a player that will be listened to by the others. Just an extra coach on the field if you will.

Sounds like there may be hope for the Raiders yet. Oh nevermind. Al Davis is still there.
