Dimitri Patterson is going be back this week. It'll be interesting to see who is getting the snaps and when.

He can't be any worse then Skrine

Yes, I agree that with our needs possibly at DE/OLB/FS/CB/OG that a FA or two could be the way to go to strengthen this team. But, I think that at CB perhaps a rookie would be the best way to go.

I think a DE/OLB with elite tools is better than the best CB available.

I like Milliner's physicality and ability to tackle, I just don't want to spend a Top 10 pick on our second best corner.

UM, because the guy can run a 4.3 . Yes, he's made dumb decisions, yes he's gotten burned. Raw talent, he's only behind Joe Haden is why he's still out there playing.

Same argument the Colt lovers want to bench Weeden.

I know everyone gets their panties in a twist when you "judge" a rookie harshly, but I don't give a shit. The guy sucks and has to be replaced. I still want a pass rusher with first pick. If we can't get a decent looking DB in the third round we have to Go FA

Big deal about 4.3 speed. I'll take a guy slower that knows what he's doing and were to be anyday. He has been burnt by bigger, slower, less "raw talented" Wideouts ALL SEASON. All that speed has done is get him out of position, because he thinks he can just make it up with his speed. Unless you are Roy Green or Deion Sanders, technique, awareness, and understanding what you are doing and where to be are WAY more important things then speed

I know who Dee Milliner is, but with signing a proven CB and adding a top talent in another position it makes sense as well.

Sure we can keep drafting until our team is full of great players or we can be like all the other good front offices and mix in some free agents and trades with building our team.

Or, given that they may draft from like 6th to 10th they could have their eye on the top rookie CB in the draft. Right now that is considered Dee Milliner from Alabama.

Honestly I'd rather keep Bademosi on ST because he's one of our best coverage players.

I want to sign someone this offseason, and I'm not sure it will be popular to say. But Dominique-Rodgers Cromartie is a free agent and I don't see the Eagles keeping him. This guy would be a great #2 corner aside Joe Haden and we would be able to draft a Safety and a Pass Rusher in the early rounds. He's only 26 years old and man if we finally went in to FA and grabbed a premier player it would show Jimmy is for real.

some highlights i did see was brown playing above his head and maybe int he first or second raider's offensive possesion skrine made an over-the-top knock out of the ball away from their #1. they were smart and played heyward-bey on the opposite side of the field from haden. from what i saw skrine and brown held their own and IMO dominated that secondary scheme albeit the one dumb penalty and a blown coverage. one time.

i realize i can bitch about mccoy vs. weeden but i can at least admit when i'm wrong. the guy has the arm and stature of our next franchise QB if he could only be more consistent and hit people wide open (if so we would have won by 2 TDs). he'll get better along the way.

same with skrine.

How is that guy still playing? He got burned over and over not to mention a 65 yard TD by an undrafted free agent wr. And then he runs directly into the punt returner. The guy is WAVING HIS HAND DIRECTLY INFRONT OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!

How can the coaches keep putting this guy out there? There has to be someone better on this team, or on the street for that matter.
