Guess who they released.

Eagles released LB Jeremiah Trotter.
Trotter's knee troubles sapped his effectiveness last season and he apparently didn't make much progress in camp. There was some speculation in the offseason that Trotter might hang up his cleats for good. Omar Gaither likely now moves into the starting lineup at middle linebacker.

K this is way better for us and i can't see which was dumber us releasing Marshall or them releasing there best LB?.Hey well if we wanted a LB than it should have been Trotter than but most likely not a starter,Crap i think teams like the Dolphins and Cowboys might need him dammit.

As long as Trotter is not in any NFC east division of a team we usually play alot FYI maybe the Bucs? than I'm good with that and same thing with Marshall.

Those dots in your post were really necessary.

I dunno, I kind of see the logic in releasing him. He's 30, his knees are giving him problems, and he flat out sucked last year in pass coverage. He's a very one-dimensional LB; all he can do is attack the line of scrimmage.

In coverage he constantly gets toasted.

as shown by his tenure in Washington

Let someone else sign him and his bad knees. It'll open some nice holes for Portis and Betts to run through.

Portis always kills them lol and betts last year and before that.

Takeo Spikes is better than Trotter by far. Trotter sucked for them last season, he couldn't stop the run or defend the pass. From what I hear from Eagles fans about him, he was basically our version of Warrick Holdman, only he plays MLB and Holdman was our ROLB.

trotter is garbage, i bet philly fans who bought his jersey already hate him those two faced bastards.

sandman89 · 08-21-2007, 02:30 PM

who do u think would pick him up...................Maybe I see texans or Packers maybe/

This really isn't surprising. Trotter has been going downhill since he has played with the Redskins.

I mean he's 30 ! That's what the Eagles do, Donovan is next. I don't care what kind of year he has he's done in Philly. Mark it down !

So what your saying is when their players get older in stead of hanging on to them they let them go. Hmm! sounds like it might not be a bad idea.

Donavan is next??? Yeah right. He looked pretty good the other night. If he can stay healthy, DM is a top 5 NFL QB.

I think he's saying that once McNabb is on the decline (probably not for a few more years at least if he's healthy) they will cut him if they ave a replacement, e.g. Kolb. While they go to great lengths to re-sign their key players, they don't stick w/them very long once they get 'old.'
