Who needs to go? - Defense

[General_Failure]

You still think Trotter can play MLB?

[ice grillin you]

Doesn't need huge money. He'd be a solid signing

adalius thomas is going to get more than solid money...way too big for a 30 year old...if the eagles were zesty linebackers away from the superbowl then id take a run at a 30 year...but not in the position they are now would i...id rather draft a couple lb's...and if not bust out the big bucks for a younger guy like briggs...i like thomas but lb's going into their 30's scare me


You still think Trotter can play MLB?

nope

Trotter - MLB

Stop it.  He's already bone-on-bone in the knee.  Time to sell him for glue.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Its been like that since college.

He will be on this team next year. Y'all take the witch hunt to another position...

I think Trotter would be fine if he had a better supporting cast around him.  He's not washed up but he obviously isn't capable of being disruptive all by himself anymore either.

I expect him to be on the team next year.  But I want them to have a plan in place to replace his ass.

even tho i think hes a shell of his former self i dont have a huge problem with trotter...its kind of like complaining about sheldons tackling ability as a problem on the team

Any one of these losers would be fine with a better supporting cast around him. That doesn't mean they don't suck.

[Rome]

I don't know why but your rabid distaste for Trotter still makes me laugh after all these years.

Sadly, it's becoming more and more justified with each passing season.

[General_Failure]

He's supposed to be great against the run. No team that started Trotter has ever been great against the run.

[Eaglez]

Trotter is great at blowing up gaps straight ahead, but he can't move laterally well at all. He really needs OLBs who can move north and south for him so he can just concentrate on hitting gaps.

Besides not being able to get off blocks against the Colts, the Colts demonstrated that this defense is very slow sideline to sideline. Addai looked like he was waltzing to the outside on most occasions before turning the corner. One way to fix that is investing in some strong, fast OLBs, but unfortunately that probably won't happen anytime soon.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Exactly.

Give him some good OLBs and keep blockers off of him and he's fine. He's a numbers to numbers player. That is his effective area. Start getting him outside the numbers and he's out of his comfort zone.

[Diomedes]

Listen to yourself, man.  "give him some good support in the other positions and then he's fine."  "He's not in his comfort zone if he has to move laterally." 

He sucks.

[PhillyPhreak54]

No, that says he is a run stuffing MLB who does not cover well or move like some other MLBs. He's been like this for awhile now. But of course since the Eagles suck now so does everyone who plays on the team. He was fine earlier in the year. But now he sucks?

[rjs246]

No he sucked earlier in the year. He sucked for most of last season too. If you ask him to do ONE THING he's okay at it. You know who else was good at that one thing? Levon Kirkland. Who sucked. Trotter sucks.
