In the span of three days, the Eagles' preseason went from a giant snoozefest to wildly interesting. If you followed the Reid and Banner regime for the past seven years, you have to admit that the Stallworth trade was totally out of character for the Birds and the dismissal of Reid favorites, Koy Detmer, Todd Pinkston and Mark Simoneau, was absolutely shocking.
Overall, it's nice to see that the Eagles are finally seeing what everyone else does and have stopped trying to prove that they know more about football than the rest of the world. Yes, these moves were no-brainers, but it is a very positive sign to see that they were made. They were not going to compete this year without adding a legitimater skill guy like Stallworth.
I'm chalking these moves up to Heckert being a bigger part of the personnel team. He's the new factor in this equation, so he had to play a big part in convincing Reid and Banner to upgrade the team.
Although, now that Pinky and Detmer are gone, who is going to be the new Eagles' whipping boy? I think Dhani Jones is the best candidate, but another bad year out of Lito could put the bulls eye squarely on his back.
Let's not forget the AJ Feeley move. He's a much better #3 than Detmer. Koy was absolutely finished as an NFL caliber QB. Not only is my wife happy that she has her old heart throb in town to replace Jeremy Bloom, but the return of AJ means that Heather Mitts will be back in town also. And that my friends, is a very good thing.
