Matt Dodge is a good add, though I'm such a softie I actually kinda felt bad for him when TC was tearing him apart after that punt to Jackson. And when I say 'kinda'...like 1% sad for him, 99% anger @ him, Haha.

Guy had been retired for a year and was signed on short notice as an injury replacement. Refs blew the call, and furthermore if Matt Allen had done what he was supposed to do rather than his best Garo Yepremian impression, they would have had another shot at a FG.
Had a great screen play in preseason, weaving through and speeding past defenders. I think he may have scored. Thought he was gonna be an amazing weapon.....blew out his knee next day at practice or something.....never saw him again.

Reece ignored TC and Drafted him the forced him into the team. Got that first hand from an Ex NFL special Teams coach who worked for TC in Jax. Said TC was beyond pissed he was stuck w him in the first place. Think that punt made it all come out on the field. Didn't know it at the time of course

TC is the same guy who kept on Tom Quinn as his STs Coach, so he shouldn't get a pass.
giving up First round pick for washed up quarterback like Craig Morton from Dallas
Taking LT and then Derek Brown
Morton played 18 years and I think he won Super Bowls with Dallas and Denver. He led many playoff teams. His only bad stretch was with the Giants in the middle of his career. What does that tell you? He wasn’t washed up when he got here or when he left.
Drafted 1 pick ahead of Reggie White, went on to become a HOF Olineman ... who never played for the Giants. The LT led 80s Giants D with Reggie friggin’ White being coached by Parcells and Belichick would be the best D in league history.
Can’t complain about 2 titles I guess, but LT + Reggie would’ve been amazing.
He thought it was Bad Manners impefe a defensive lineman's progrees. " excuse me sir, am I in your way?"....." well, we can't have that can we?" " Eli is right over there, I'll follow you"
He traded Sam Huff to the Redskins. Later the fans serenaded him with chants of “Goodbye Allie.”
Allie Sherman trading Sam Huff was a horror but he also led us to three straight NFL title games. I think those take him out of the “infamous” category.

The coaches made the trades in those days? Didn't know that.
Chuck Bednarik (Frank Gifford)
Herman Edwards (Joe Pisarcik)
DeSean Jackson (Matt Dodge)
Randall Cunningham (Carl Banks)
Brian Dawkins (Ike Hilliard)
N.D. Kalu (Rich Seubert)
Dennis Harrison (Phil Simms)
Brian Westbrook (Jeff Feagles ‘03, Antonio Pierce ‘06)
Asante Samuel (Eli Manning)
The grass field at the Linc (Something caused that fumble; of course, Eli did it again vs. Philly the next year, at home.)
Brent Celek (Kenny Phillips)
LeSean McCoy (Phillips, Mike Boley, and Jon Goff) Vai Sikahema (goalpost stanchion)
I guess my answer is less a list of players than a single team. Thanks for the memories, Eagles.

& to me, the biggest one is Dave Meggett. I loved him growing up & turns out he was a complete POS. That one legit hurt.
Even Engram in the making
CC BROWN
DAVE THOMAS
Never hated ANY player in the NFL more. It's not even close.
Speaking of....
Desean Jackson
Desean Jackson (Matt Dodge)
Randall Cunningham (Carl Banks)
Brian Dawkins (Ike Hilliard)
N.D. Kalu (Rich Seubert)
Clyde Simmons (Phil Simms)
Blech, Eagles.
Trey Junkin
Ben McAdoo
Dave Brown
Flipper Anderson
Jason Witten
Herman Edwards
Ereck Flowers
Flozell Adam’s Leg
Jason Witten (although I respect him)
CC Brown
McAdoo
Joe Pisarcik, thus the invention of the victory formation
The plane over the stadium in 1978 “15 Years of Lousy Football – We've Had Enough!”
After the years of futility, it made Tuna & LT,TC & Eli, and the 4 Lombardi's all the more sweet.
