    The denial is mostly in the front office where Roseman has assembled a genuinely untalented defense. The Eagles have 5 special teamers starting on that side of the ball, and a slow learner DC.

    The philosophy of taking undersized players, who also can't tackle, but are "quick" has finally caught up with them.

    The Eagles need to move to a "mark to market" approach, whereby they evaluate their talent not by internal numbers, but what the league thinks of them as a whole.

    Roseman is an errand boy for Reid. He makes all of the personell decisions.

    Untalented? There's loads of talent on this team, including on defense. The defense wasn't built intelligently though. The defensive system (where I can detect one) isn't working. Also, what were they thinking starting the season with Casey Matthews at MLB? None of the linebackers or safeties are starting-caliber players. I've lost all hope that the Eagles can address their defensive problems via the draft - at least with this front office.

    how can there be loads of talent on the D when you just stated that the linkebackers and safties stink?

    No difference between your post and mine. I was speaking exclusively about the D

    They need a change at the top (GM & coach) before the status of the players is determined. The other problem is that there is no "take charge" veteran on this team, Dawk would have never put up with this s&*t.

    Roseman is an errand boy for Joe Banner. Given the moves made over the last three years, it looks like a fantasy football geek assembled this team. Remember what Jeffrie Lurie and Banner said when they bought the team-they were fantasy football geeks.

    If Lurie was truthful in saying he wanted to bring championships, he must do the following:

    He has to tell Joe Banner that he has no involvement in personnel or anything other than the business aspects of the Eagles.

    urie has to hire a strong GM and put him in charge of everything. The new GM will clean house of coaches and malcontent players.

    Lurie needs to start at the top and shut down Joe Banner's interference with player personnel and the like. He needs to hire a strong general manager and let him clean house

    DJax is a little boy in a man's game. Overmatched physically and scared to death he'll get killed. Franchise him and get another draft pick. Move on.

    They had a Modrak and other personnel guys in here that were genuine. But let's face it - rhe fat man wanted and got total control. This mess is all Andy's fault from top to bottom. And Banner and Lurie for letting him have so much control...
