Eagles DC Search

PFT has reported that the Eagles had made an offer to make former Saints DB Coach Dennis Allen their new DC. Allen chose instead to join John Fox in Denver.

The Eagles have since come out and said that Allen was never a serious candidate. They said the same thing after Jim Mora pulled out of the derby, but it had previously been reported that Mora was their top choice.

Misinformation, or a case of the girl who got turned down saying "I didn't want to go to the dance with him anyway" :sosp:

Former Eagles DB Coach Dick Jauron, of whom it was originally speculated that Sean McDermott was fired to allow him to take over, left to take the DC job with the Browns. They'll have to replace him too, as well as recently departed LB Coach Bill Shuey.

Andy Reid is recently back from vacation and said to now be heading the search. They won't be doing any interviews at the Senior Bowl this week though because Reid is skipping it (per Philly.com, this is something he does on a regular basis). There are rumored candidates - Mike Trgovac, Winston Moss, Ray Horton, others from the Steelers and Packers staffs - but unless they move quickly, they'll have to wait until after the Super Bowl to interview them.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
