Eagles 10 steps to get better...

The Eagles are not all that far off, here are 10 ways to get back faster:
(In no particular order)

1. Release Javon Kearse. I liked the shot they took on him, but it didnt work. His injury last season cost them a few games, but he hasnt returned to form and never really has been the dominator he was as a rookie.

2. Release Darren Howard. It was out of character that the Eagles signed a aging FA player to begin with, but they thought they were close. They were wrong and he has been horrible. Admit you made a mistake and get rid of this bum.

3. Move Kevin Curtis into the slot. Curtis had his best seasons as the slot man in STL, but here is he the best WR that the Eagles have. But just beacuse he is thebest WR why does he have to play out of position. Thats like taking Ryan Howard and putting him at 3B. Play him at his best position, the slot and you'll get more consistent production from him and open the middle more for Reggie Brown.

4. Let's see Stewart Bradley. He made plays in the preseason and Spikes isnt making any plays. I'll keep Omar and Gocong where they are..but I am replacing Spikes (who will be gone next season) with Bradley now, see if the kid can play (I think he can).

5. Sit Jamal Jackson - He came in overweight and its time to shake this line up a bit. They came in with the thought that they were a top level unit. Right now, I think this unit has gotten to complacent and maybe a sit-down is what is needed up-front. Sit Jackson, send a message and he'll be better for it down-the-road.

6. Run the Ball. This team got on a roll last season, not beacuse they has Jeff Garcia, but beacuse they ran the ball. They will tell you that they are running the ball but they would be lying right to your face. And running the ball doesnt have to be all Westbrook. Corell Buckhalter is actually a pretty good running back - just give him the ball 8-10 times so we can see it. Westbrook is great, but most teams have a good second fiddle, the Eagles do to, but they dont use it enough.

7. Get a new Kick off man. Cause Buckhalter stinks at this position. He should be removed ASAP (and running the ball more), there arent many options on the current roster, but someone has to be better then Buck. Its not like a punt return, nobody is flying down at you looking to take your head off. Give the fastest guy you have a shot.

8. The secondary needs a shake-up. Will James...sit. Joselio Hanson, please stand. This kid has impressed and James has been pretty ordinary. Its nice to see Q-Mike in the mix now full-time. B-Dawk isnt the same B-Dawk and Lito isnt the same Lito both due to injury. Sheldon Brown is playing pretty good football, but lets take a look at Nick Graham soon.

9. Start sending thr house. This team needs to get that aggressivness back. Like Dupree tells Carl in You, Me and Dupree. You need that "Ness" and the Eagles dont have it. Blitz, send the house, if your going to get beat, let the QB know your coming. Gocong led the nation in sacks in collge, let him loose. Lin him up on the same side as Trent Cole and let them go after the QB. Line-up Bradley on the other side behind Juqua Thomas and let them go after the QB. Omar is solid in the middle but the outsdie guys need to rush the passer more.

10. New Punt returner please. Reno 911 was a week to late. Now the Eagles need a guy who can help them win the field position battle. Reno is a nice guy, but they birds need new life back there.

these are 10 ways to help get the Eagles back into the playoffs ASAP.
