trotter cut

Dawk did sound a little bothered about it... I wouldn't call him pissed though.

he sucks. who cares.

Maybe Andy needs to make room on the roster for that great unknown white Morman linebacker they'll be drafting out of Bringham Young with the magical underwear!

the best part was when merrill asked him what his greatest moment as an eagle was...it wasnt when he was drafted...or making all those conf championships or even the superbowl

it was when he got the hell out of washington and came back to philly

just awesome

goddamit, I'm almost in tears just reading about him being close to tears, and that stuff about the taterskins.

as the day keeps going, this move makes less and less sence. I find myself wanting to see him just one more time in Eagles green or leading them out of the tunnel... its almost like they amputated his legs. The dude could still be a backup, but then again he's no Dedrick Roper

That depth chart at LB is comical

Dedrick Roper?

this whole thing is very strange to me...because if you think the eagles can win a superbowl this year (and i do) then this is definitely a questionable move...add in the fact that trot is one of my all time favorite eagles and i should be livid right now...however for some reason not only am i not angry i actually like the move

Seabiscuit36 · August 21, 2007, 02:11:26 PM

i'm wondering who might also shake free out there at MLB

Trotter was a liability so what's not to like about this from a football perspective?

Can anyone honestly say that a healthy Omar Gaither is going to do any worse than a gimpy, over-the-hill Trotter??

I don't know how anyone except for maybe GF like a move that makes a thin position even thinner. Unless Reid is pulling a rabbit outta' his hat at some point, I don't like it.

shorebird · August 21, 2007, 02:16:06 PM

Dawk or someone like Spikes better step up. Trotter was the unquestioned leader on and off the field of this D.

Seabiscuit36 · August 21, 2007, 02:16:48 PM

Face it shorebird, Trott is only a runstopper, and he's struggled with that over the past year. I love Trott, but i trust the FO with this one. As romey said, Gaither has outplayed Trott, and he's not even a natural MLB.
