For the life of me I can not understand why anyone would want to bring another TE in.
We averaged almost 400 yards a game in total offence.
Everybody wants this team to run the ball more.
Vick has to drop back 5-7 steps to get the ball past the line of scrimage so using the TE in the short passing game is pointless.
We were 8th in points, 4th in yards, 9th in passing and 5th in rushing. Is it just that some people will never be happy until we are first in every catogory?
We ran 1,036 plays on offence. 75 passes went to our TE's for 974 yards.
How many more passes do people really think any TE would get in our system?

Before people start with this "red zone" crap, stop. Players can only score when they have chances and our TE's chances are extremely limited beause Vick doesn't operate well from the pocket, with a short feild. Another TE isn't going to help that.

So really, how many touches are they willing to take away from McCoy, Maclin, Jackson and Celek to give a new TE enough touches to justify his contract?

Is this just a case of, people are never happy unless they have something to complain about?
Other then turnovers, this offence did everything to win a Championship and last I checked, there's only one ball to go around.

Clay Harbor will be in his 3rd year, that's a Veteran right?

CH is a solid 2nd TE. And we only have so many balls to go to.

I just noticed the Eagles signed Jacory Harris. I also noticed Craig Cooper is still on the Eagles (Practice Squad last year?)

So thats Harris, Cooper and Brandon Washington.

I didnt want to make a thread about this so I figured I'd go ahead and post it here. I use to post on the Miami Scout board.

Brown had just delayed his signing day again. Since Brown graduated HS he would visit a lot of places. One of the places he visited was Miami, the school he was first committed to, to see his brother (Arthur Brown...should be on the Eagles radar next year..).

Well Bryce entered the locker room to speak to his brother and all hell broke loose. Guys like Jacory, Cooper and Washington had a big problem with Bryce being there. I mention them...cause well there on the Eagles. There were some other players more vocal though. Jacory was more interested in Lamar Miller (recent Dolphin draft pick) joining the team than Bryce anyway. Basically Bryce was forced out of the locker room and had bitter feelings toward Miami. So much so that he did the "Hat Trick" on signing day.

Im sure they let go of issues from 3 or so years ago. Just an interesting story.

Hopefully they are more mature and there is no "beef" during rookie camp. Laughing

Thanks for sharing that story, Django.

Shows us the little things that we aren't even privy to.
