Did the Birds miss out on Wilslow Jr.?

Did the Birds miss out on Wilslow Jr.?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have traded for Tight End Kellen Wilslow Jr., formally of the Clevland Browns.  The deal is for undisclosed draft picks.  Depending on what those draft picks turn out to be, if they Eagles could have been in this coversation, would you be willing to have given the Browns a 2nd round pick for Wilsow?

This is the kind of move that makes me mad, I dont know what rouund choices the Bucs gave up, but I think Wilsow would be a great get for the Birds.

Overall, I think the Eagles need a blocking Tight end more then a pass catching tight end, but they cant expect Brent Celeck to be an every-down guy and expect to be able to run the ball effectivly.  He couldnt block you or me at this stage of his career.  The kid can get open and catch passes, but his blocking is as bad as an Adam Eaton start.

Those of you who still are holding out hope for Tony Gonzalez, I wouldnt hold your breath.  When was the last time you heard his name mentioned in trade talks. Now that Todd Haley is there and Scott Peoli is in place, Tony G. is fine right where he is.  Kansas City will be everyones Miami Dolphins this year.  A team that stunk the joint up and then makes the playoffs the next season.





Thursday Night’s Game

5 11 2008

By Tom Peters

As I was getting excited watching the election returns and finding out my guy and gal lost, I almost forgot that there was a game Thursday.

As is custom for all Thursday games, I will only pick this one and give the rest of my picks for the week later on.

Denver Broncos (4-4) v. Cleveland Browns (3-5)

This is a tough game to call because both are inconsistent and basically they suck and they underachieve. There are a buttload of questions to be asked in this game. Which Broncos team will show up, the one that started 3-0 with no turnovers or the team that has lost 4 of it’s last 5 (including 3 straight) and has developed an aversion to playing offense and keeping the ball. What will we see out of Cleveland? Is Brady Quinn the cure to Cleveland’s woes? Will the charity stop? Can Kellen Winslow get his act together?

Denver has become like a trophy wife with a myspace, they looked good, but you can’t trust them. Cleveland has hope. The offense was improving, the defense isn’t that terrible. I think Denver’s inability to run the ball and KEEP the ball will hurt them. While I don’t think Brady Quinn will impress, it won’t be an issue as Denver has difficulty stopping the run. Expect a big game from Jamal Lewis.

MY PICK: Browns
