Eagles are on the way down


How? McNabb will be healthy and they will soon cut/trade the cancer of their team. Barber is a good LB, it's just that he hasn't been healthy enough to showcase his talent.
 
Barber was good for us when healthy, but that hasn't been very often. Not a bad pickup for the Eagles but placing faith in someone as injury prone as barber is pretty risky.

The Eagles still have alot of problems though. They have alot of holes in their lb corps and their dline, and their secondary is getting old. Their offensive line needs improvement and they need a #1 wr.
 
How is the Eagles secondary getting old? Dawkins is getting old, although he still played in the Pro Bowl and is a top 5 safety. Sheppard, Brown, and Lewis were drafted in 2002, Mikell and Hood were 2003 UDFA's, Ware and Wynn were drafted in 2004, and Considine in 2005.

You are right, for some reason I though Brown and Lewis were older. My mistake.
 
Eagles are also rumored to already have a deal worked out for LeCharles Bentley and Jeff Garcia....

They need a TE, DE, DT, OLB, WR, RB and they should have 30 million in cap space to fill those needs. I expect Philly to be a big FA player after last season and their cap space.

Barber is patchwork IMO. Also Arrington is rumored to want to stay in the NFCE and Philly and the Giants were rumored to have interest. Following Philly's tradition of not overpaying for players, I dont think they have an interest in Arrington.
