Chris Farley.....oops I mean Andy Reid, and his Eagles are desperate for a lot of things.

most teams in the nfl need a fb. nobody wants a real fb anymore. they want an extra blocker.

Not really. Just a fullback. Oh and a #1 WR. Actually just the fans are desperate for that...Big Red is content with a bunch of #3's which is a joke.

They'll pick one up come cuts ...

missing from eagles super bowl run:

a) #1 WR
b) stud MLB

that's it.

Westbrook doesn't need a FB, and they compete well at all other positions. Dark horse for the SB

So many haters in here. Andy will have the boys ready for the season, and the Eagles will return to the top of the NFC East....without a true #1 WR. The defense will be a big surprise this year. I am going to equate it to how the Packers D performed last year.

If your Dumb*** remembers, Winston Justice started that game at Tackle against the Giants. That won't happen again, trust me. We will dominate the Giants this year.

Oh, I can't wait for those stinkin' Cowgirls to blow up again this year. Jessica A.K.A. Tony will fumble again, and T.O. will have another breakdown and cry over his QB. They have all of this talent....too bad the coach is terrible. Oh yeah, don't they have an assistant who is making more than the head coach.....that's just a disaster waiting to happen.

It's a good move. Hunt will be solid at that position. After 1 year off the Eagles will be back atop the East division.

LITO FOR BOLDIN GET IT DONE WE DON'T NEED A FULLBACK

they arent going anywere till mcnabbs gone. dont get your season hopes up, just like buffalo, you guys might sink this ship again within week 6

mcinjury gets hurt every year, and you guys base your team around that overated worthless wanna be QB.

im not hating, im jus saying

eagles are far fromsuperbowl. they need 2 recievers, a WHOLE o-line, 2 linebackers, and a better special teams( cough cough green bay week 1 last year)

im pretty sure my hometown buffalo will pull thru this year,and since i HATE dallas and NY id hope mcnabb stays healthy and philly wins the div

-loki-

if ANYONEs D preforms like GB last year, then theyr playoffs caliber, i hope we stay healthy to, and rookie CB pat lee is a good suprise, we might have ourself an even better pass D. phily has some good corners also, but im afraid to sya dawkins is wearing down, and idnt evenknow tho their otther saftey is

There are still plenty of great pure blocking FBs/TE's in the league or on waiver wires to pick up. The problem here is they are probably looking for a "finesse" FB who can catch, run & block and that's not going to happen. Reid needs to come to terms that he will not find a gem like this and go with a pure bulldozer to help Westbrook out from time to time. Sure, with the FB in, teams will know to key on the running attack, but at the same time, the Eagles gain an advantage at giving Westbrook a better chance at getting to the 2nd level untouched.

Wait, you mean like when we signed TO and got Trotter back and went to the Super Bowl? Is that the angle you are leaning towards. Worked pretty good that year. But honestly I think the LBs will be very good...young and quick...I love Desean Jackson, but they need that guy on the outside who scares people. With that said, I can still see them making a run as is AS LONG AS 5 stays healthy all year.
