BAMA In The NFL

[JoshB]

Yup, he was destroying the Cowboys D. First time they've left him in for the entire drive multiple times. He really started to click as the game wore on.

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

If he was on any other team in the NFL he would be doing better. I am a Saints fan, but lets be honest, they are a pass happy team and he doesn't really fit the mold there. He sure busted out though. Very glad to see it from him.

 

[JoshB]

Yeah he needs a team that will feed him as the game wears on, he gets stronger. No way for a back like that to click with the line if hes doing 2 carries and then coming out until the next drive.

 

[JoshB]

Barron really playing great right now. Last week he had a crazy game, playing good again tonight.

He's very popular here.

 

[JoshB]

Demeco is popular everywhere hes been. Class act and a hell of a player.

 

[PhillyGirl]

I'm trying to find his jersey in a youth large round these parts (I'm tiny)

 

[JoshB]

Both Dre Kirkpatrick and Dee Milliner had two picks each today. Dee had 3 picks in the last two games, looks like they're both turning the corner for their teams.

To put DeMeco's numbers into perspective, its the most tackles by an Eagle since 1993 (Byron Evans had 175).

 

[TerryP]

Dee, Dre, Robert, and Mark...our 2011 starting secondary.

A little talent there, eh?

Somehow didn't make to the pro bowl. This is why I hate the pro-bowl, players that deserve it, get snubbed. All the big time play maker players somehow get in, like Polumalu. I watched him all year, while he had a "good" year, its no different than what Mark Barron had who had more tackles, more INT's, and the same amount of sacks. Pro Bowl is a jooooooookkee

How do you pull for a team, that has someone that you don't want to win anything? That team Carolina Panthers.

Bama ties aside, the fact that neither Ryans nor Mathis got in is a JOKE. Mathis is the most underappreciated member of this team, while Ryan's is the undisputed leader of the D. Both were integral to our success this season.

 

[planomateo]

Damn Eddie, heck of a rookie regular season!

#2 in Rushing TD's (his 11 RuTDs are behind Jamaal Charles and Marshawn Lynch who both have 12).
#8 in Rushing Yards (1,178 RuYds)

 

[JoshB]

Speaking of Pro Bowl snubs Dareus got more fan votes than any defensive tackle in the league, he was one of the few players that won the fan vote that didn't make the cut.

I don't believe any Eagles had any defensive players selected, that's what baffles my mind because I thought Cole would get it, and that DB with 6 picks. Never have liked the pro bowl and never will.
