Eagles' Sheldon Brown: "You don't fool with him." article 9/18

Whatever. All this crap sounds like the garbage New England has put out for years. "Oh we respect them sooooo much, ooooohhh they're going to be soooo tough".....and they're facing Cinncinati. New England never believed that ****. And if you don't think the Eagles aren't sitting in meetings thinking they're going to knock the shine off Brees and the offense you're kidding yourself.

The Saints offense scares a lot of defenses but I don't think the Eagles are one of them.

Well yeah. We all know the song and dance that teams do with elite players like Brees. It's the thing that smart defenses do. Disarm them, then try to take their heads off. Their defense is self motivating, and I'm hoping that our offense has gotten past the level of having to rely on bulletin board material.

I guess it's a sign of arriving to that next level. I'm hoping that our team plays as if Sheldon Brown was talking trash, instead of coming out flat like we've seen all too often.

But if someone's putting a mircophone in their face, it's the only right thing to say.
