Trash talk time: Must be a rivalry week

by Ed Valentine on Oct 30, 2009 2:43 PM EDT in News Comment 89 comments

Ahh, yes. Some good old-fashioned NFC East trash talk. First, Steve Smith talks about how the Giants expect to have opportunities for big plays Sunday against Philadelphia's secondary.

Now, Eagles corner Sheldon Brown has responded to Smith. You knew someone would. Here is what he said.

"We blitz," Brown told CSNPhilly.com Thursday. "The ball’s got to come out quick. It doesn’t matter who’s open. If the quarterback can’t throw the ball, it doesn’t really matter.

"I’m sure a lot of people say that on film," Brown said. "I could be open 25, 30 yards down the field, but if the quarterback is sacked, then you’re not open."

Sunday, we find out who should have kept his mouth shut.

[NOTE: Thanks to the great Mike Garafolo for linking to my Kevin Boss post. It always make me feel good to get props from the big boys.]

Nice Try

you need to relax. that isnt trash talk. See Antonio Pierce’s comments about Oakland if you want to see trash.

Brown is just simply stating a fact. Regardless of who is playing if your O line doesnt buy your QB time to get the ball off it doesnt matter if the secondary is still in the locker room

You’re grasping at straws in my opinion. I can pretty much guarantee that the Eagles arent talking trash… and if they are they should be. But thats not what Brown was doing

yeah...not really "smack talk"....

in fact brown is 100% correct…

I wish Sheridan could put 2 and 2 together and come up with the same outcome….we need to put pressure on McNeverWonaSuperBowl and test that Oline.

He’s also waiting for a no-call on blatant holding on a game-changing play (that same helmet catch play). Even you Giant fans have to know you got away with one there.

but i do get tired of the mcnabb sucks, mcnabb will never win crap.

But i give credit where its due… it was probably the best super bowl of all time

by Ed Valentine on Oct 30, 2009 3:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

He does have a few flaws for sure… like throwing the ball in the dirt. However, i wouldnt trade him for most of the QBs in the league, and i def wouldnt trade him for Eli.

5’s gonna make the hall even with everybody saying he sucks. if he plays 3 or 4 more years at his current number i think he’ll get in

A ring would seal the deal

by 700 Level on Oct 30, 2009 3:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I agree on the hall thing...

I think Philly fans, or basically football fans in general, when they have a QB the caliber of a Mcnabb or a Eli Manning when they have off games they go a little bit crazy in calling for his head and for the backup to start. Philly obviously has more experience with that with 5 getting hurt a lot (and Eli..not at all) so then when Kevin Kolb plays well, they want Kolb.

…I also wouldn’t trade McNabb for Eli….Except I wouldn’t trade Eli for Mcnabb :)

He might but

I think he needs the ring more than you think. He has put together a very nice carrer for sure and the Eagles have won lots of games with him but he has not done anyting spectacular is a big game in his carrer other than get sick (not busting balls but unfortunatley thats a big part of his legacy right now) and as consistanley good as his numbers have been he’ll probabbly never be considered nearly as good as a passer as some of his contemperaties like P. Manning T. Brady & Drew Brees or even Brett Favre (who I think is overrated). So where do you put him in regards to his era? He’s very good but not great statsticly, a winner but not a big game clutch QB, no big HOF momment. Jim Kelly and Warren Moon got in and had similar carrers, (Though some would argue they were better passers in the Early 90’s than Donnovan is now). Boomer Esiason did not but his team was only good for a few years so that killed him. Ken Stabler and Phil Simms won rings and were very good but not great statisticlly for there teams for about an 8-10 year span each but never got in. I think he needs a Super Bowl if not it’ll be up in the air.

About Eli, I know all you Eagle fans think Eli sucks and everything he’s accomplished is dumb luck (which is a joke) but he’s been in the League 5 years has 4 playoff appearances, a pro bowl and a Super Bowl. Thats pretty good and he plays 5 more years and accomplishes just as much he might not be a HOFer but he’ll be considerd a better player than Donnavan. I just get a bit annoyed when Philly fans act like comparing McNabb to Eli is ridiculous. They are both top 10 QB’s in the league that have won a lot of games for their teams. Both are inconsistant and innacurate at times but overall better than most not as good as the elite. McNabb’s been a better passer, Eli has a ring and played big in that game. If I compared Eli to his brother that would be ridiculous but not McNabb.

You might be right

but I think your underestamating Moon. He set single game passing records and had several 4,000 yard seasons which is a huge accomplishment and threw the ball 40 times again. Moon was like a Drew Brees of the late 80’s early 90’s. Like I said Donnavan has been very good statistaccly but he’s never been considered that type of passer. Typically when he thows that much he does not play as well and they loose. Moon never accomplished anything in the playoof but Moon also never had a Defense at all let alone the solid one Donnovans had in Philly.

yea Ed..

I don’t know where your going with this one.

The Giants Dallas thing.. where they flat out say they HATE each other…that’s trash talk.

THis is merely stating the facts. Smith thinks there’ll be opportunities…Brown saying if the QB’s sacked, its moot.

Really just fact stating…I’m sure its really nothing both sides aren’t aware of.

THat said…F Philly and lets going into Philly and march over and beat their FB and Baseball teams. Maybe steal a cheesteak and a cheerleader while we’re at it.

We could if we didn’t have class, bomb them with the same crap..But we have class here..Which is why I decided to stay on here..We joke around amoungst ourselves, but never disrespect our opponents (with a few exceptions..mostly kids here)..They have the only Stadium with a jail built into it…For a city named Brotherly Love, they sure don’t show it!!,,Never have shown it..but I am going to take the high road and just say that if anyone out there thinks Ed Valentine is evil and wrong…Here’s my smack: “Kiss my ass!” and do you have any D-cell batteries left in Philly stores?..or did they sellout?..that is your only chance of winning the World Series and beating the Giants!..and don’t call us up for bail money..

We know your guys are blitz-happy this year..You guys are going to load up the box and blitz from all over the place..If we can’t counter that we are in for a really rough day..If we can run some quick swing passes it will force your guys back out of the box..We need to let Nicks loose on offense..He his a speedster with great hands..You guys have a very hurting Westbrook..I don’t see him showing up..He will beg to try to go but Brian is hurt..So it will be an interesting game. Both of our teams are battling for first place in our division…Now stop the smack and talk football.

From Wikipedia

The jail is gone. Apparently the Eagle fans have gone soft.

“Like the Vet, Lincoln Financial Field had a jail inside the stadium, that contained four cells. However, this jail was done away within two years as the level of unruly behavior had dropped considerably from the worst days of the Vet.”

by calunker on Oct 30, 2009 6:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

they probably priced the guys who would be going to jail out

not that that’s necessarily a bad thing

"[The Giants] beat us down. We were beat by a grown-man team, a team we want to be like one day. They came in here and took it to us. Out-manned us, out-gunned us. ... It wasn't even close." - Raheem Morris, 9/27/09

Thanks I really appreciate that..

We have lost (I have lost) alot of good friends over there..the only thing that makes you get over that pain (you never really do) is the fact that we brought the fight to them on their soil and we’re keeping them off of ours. It puts the game of football into a whole new perspective..and I have to tell you we have a great country we live in..You wouldn’t believe what it is like over in Iraq and Afghanistan. The people over there are very poor..They pretty much have nothing…and the bad guys just like killing everything they can..us, themselves, their own people… it doesn’t matter.. that is what they do..Anyway enough of that…and you know something?..Over there our guys don’t care who the teams are!..Eagles,Giants, Raiders anybody..If it came in off the satellite you rooted for them all..It didn’t matter who won…I got lucky they pulled me out of there because I was considered too old at the ripe old age of 49 on my second tour. In ‘81 I flew an F-117 my second stint was “laser painting” targets…Well enough of this..I know we’ll have a good game this week..My Giants and your Eagles always put on a good tough show.

Hey, Bobbi, I was in USAF

in the Korean War. I passed the Aviation Cadet exam then flunked the physical for pilot. I had 20/20 vision.but no depth perception. They told me I could be a Navigator or Bombardier, but I didn’t want to make the time committment for those jobs, so I chose (or they they let me) be an aerial gunner.

It is not fun atkilling peol all..You are better off for not being able to fly..This was a very surreal experience..My call sign was 01 that night we attacked Bagdad in ‘91..My targets were their AT&T building and their Air force command and control center. I blew both of them up..then I got out off town for some gas..I’ll never forget waiting for 2 3 and 4 to show up. Thankfully we all made it out..but I tell you..you always think about it..things like were their poor old janitors in the building? Maids?..I’ll always have that on my mind for the rest of my life. I did enjoy my stint over in Afghantisan..I didn’t fly there, I just targeted hits..I have my DFC commendation sitting here but to be honest it doesn’t mean all that much to me. Killing people is not much fun at all.

I flew on B-26s and B-36s

The 36 never saw combat. It was meant to deliver A bombs. Once, on a base wide alert every plane on (two wings)was loaded with one A-bomb and high explosive incindiary ammo for each of their fourteen 20mm. cannons. It was just before the Peace Talks were announced and I’ve often wondered if Ike had used the threat of unleashing those planes to force the Chinese to negotiate. I was stationed in Fairchild across the mountains from Seattle. Every plane had an assigned target in China. Only the strike team (pilot, co-pilot, navigator) knew the specific target. The legendary test pilot Tex Johnston (who helped sell the 747 by barell rolling it over Lake Washington) tested the B-52 at Fairchild. He was right out of central casting—looked like Howard Hughes, fifty mission crush, etc.

Thanks

My own thanks goes to all those kids who protested on the streets during the Viet Nam war. I suspect if we still had a draft we’d see the same sort of thing today. Personally, I’d rather we had mandatory two year service, giving all of an appropriate age the opportunity to serve and virtually all Americans a personal stake in the conflicts we become involved in. As it is, those who serve are to a large extent those for whom the military provides the best opportunity. Not a whole lot of middle class kids volunteering to take up arms.

Personally, i resisted the urge to say anything

But without the people that have served previously, presently and in the future, life as we know it would probably be different. So therefore, i’m thankful!

Though i’ve never been in the service, it’s always been an interest of mine through tactics, strategy and vehicles abroad. With saying that, i have an inkling of what Bobbi said. I’ll leave it at that! ;)

It has significance to them..sort of like a trophy to them..The reason we are still in Iraq..is to keep an eye out on Iran…Afganhistan is a lost cause..The only reason we are still there is to find the head of the towel heads, Bin Laden..This assult the Pakistanis just started is aimed at Just that..Oh, and those drone strikes we are making get protested officially, but we have a secret agreement with their Government…Also we have a new bomb coming out next year designed to hit caves and bunkers..It will drill itself into a cave or underground bunkers and blow the shit out of them.

Hammels has been shakey, If Petite give the Yanks 7 solid that’ll be a tough one for the Phills. The 7th could be up in the air becasue the Yanks bullpin has spit the bit of late (other than Mo) so it’ll depend on how well the Yanks hit . Also if CC goes on three days rest it’s a big pitching advantage for Yanks in Game 4. (will also be for Phils in game 5 with Lee). But your just talking about going back to NY.

Whoa

this thread got out of control in a hurry. I thought it was pretty obvious that JasonB’s comment was light-hearted and that Ed knew and took it that way. I’m all for trash talk (especially with people from Philly), but let’s keep it to football (or baseball).

Yep

This sort of went awry. Maybe the whole post was a bad idea. That’s on me.

Is not all that bad a guy..but I will stick up for you and our guys..We have a good site here and We all need to temper our aggravation when someone comes in here and offers up some trash, me included.

He was cool

Seemed like a nice guy that new his stuff just some friendly ball busting.

Yeah he is cool

We have alligator skin anyway..Doesn’t matter really when you boil off the fat..the best prepared team will win..that’s football..this isn’t rocket science..Simple actually, we need to get them out of the box or we lose..If we hit a few short swings and move them out of the box..We win…and Sheridan needs to stop thinking and throw our house at them..Wouldn’t that be a nice change?

No sense in fretting over things you can't control

As most fans in general, there are a few trolls that spoil the brew. But, like 700 and other regulars over at BGN, they will rightfully defend their team. That’s expected. Sometimes things seem to be deeper than whats on the surface under certain circumstances. I honestly don’t mind visiting and reading what they say over there. If anything, they let their own posters know where they stand with insane opinions that go against simple logic.

Overall though, guy’s like 700 Level, Bye Dawk :( and Whodie, that come to mind, they all have a common interest that generates a passion for what they believe in, the Eagles. It wouldn’t matter if the Egales were the best or worst, they’ll find a flaw to jab about. That’s what seperates the knowledgeable fans from the wannabe ones!

Well..

I hate to hear trash talking..The team that shows up ready will win the game, and it won’t be due to bullletin boards..It will be due to the better prepared team and their talent as athletes.
