Phil Thomas Has Shot With Iggles

[Symphony Steve]

Beat writer Les Bowen of the Philly Daily News gives Thomas a shaky endorsement at perhaps the Birds' worst position:

Safeties (4): The starters are Kurt Coleman and Nate Allen, and the only other guy on the roster I'd keep is O.J. Atogwe, and I have a suspicion he might need to play well against the Jets to make the team. Would not waste any more time with Jaiquawn Jarrett. The Eagles might, if nothing pops loose as other teams cut down. Phillip Thomas? Maybe, but I have a feeling the fourth guy is somebody who isn't here yet. Colt Anderson probably goes to PUP and resurfaces Week 6. Let's pencil in undrafted rookie Thomas for now, very lightly.

At the least, I think he'll make the practice squad and likely play at some point this year.​

Any more SU/Iggles fans out there?

Can we count you as one, Steve?

This guy right here.

I'm talking about myself in this instance, by the way.

Add me to the list. He played very well against the Browns last week. He actually showed some instincts and tackled. Something the Eagles haven't seen much since Dawkins left. I personally think he should make the team instead of Jaiquawn Jarrett who has been awful.

I am as well... it's very trying being a Syracuse/Eagles fan in Austin. Suck it Cowboys.

Try being an Eagles fan a little north of Dallas. First time I wore a Philly jersey to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch them play the Cowboys I had rednecks shooting me death stares. I almost got into a fight after going to the MNF game where DeSean dropped the ball in celebration at the one because I was wearing a Philly shirt, too. And putting gas in my car while wearing an Eagles shirt has gotten me a few curses thrown at me from passing cars.

Cowboys fans are douchenozzles.

Julio or Enrique?

Moving to Pa. next month, so I guess I'll become an Eagles Fan.

 

[Symphony Steve]

Yes, I'm an Iggles' fan.

Learned not to make too much of an emotional investment in them, though.

Works wonders for what is left of my mental health.

Indeed. There are some good, fun fans, but few and far between. I remember going to the Christmas day game a few years back. McNabb was hurt and I almost didn't want to go to the game anymore, but I hardly ever get to see them play. There was one great old cowboy fan in a Cowboy santa suit who teases on me a bit, saying I had been "a very bad boy this year." but all in good fun and he offered some high quality Lone Star to my group...

The rest of the fans, after Jeff Garcia lead the Eagles to a 23-7 victory, were not so gracious. Let's just say I reeked of bud light by the time I got to my car. Oh well, I take solace in the fact that the last time the Cowboys were relevant I was only 9/10 years old. Then Bobby Taylor, Troy Vincent and Dawkins ruined their lives for a while.
