A sorry sight for Eagles fans

There was a familiar – if less than comforting – sight along the sidelines at Eagles practice yesterday.

That would be one Shawn Andrews. He’s supposed to be the starting right tackle for the Birds.

He missed the entire preseason after undergoing surgery on his back last year. He tweaked it during a run on the first day of camp and skipped the rest of the summer. He returned to practice this week and pronounced himself ready to go on Sunday vs. Carolina.

But yesterday he was on the sidelines again. Apparently the back is acting up on him.

Nor surprisingly, the Eagles also brought old pal Jon Runyan in for a workout yesterday. He’s been on the shelf since undergoing micro-fracture surgery on his knee after last season. Runyan is a free agent, and was last seen heading for a workout in Buffalo after finishing up at the NovaCare Center.

I hope the Eagles have him on speed dial. His price might have just gone up. The Andrews situation is just one of the dark clouds hovering over this team.

I’ll discuss the Birds more tomorrow morning when the “dreaded Saturday Eagles pick” returns to the Heron’s Nest.

Here’s a hint. I do not have a good feeling about this season.

Actually, I think it has disaster written all over it. I know a lot of national experts and publications are touting the Eagles as a Super Bowl contender.

Sorry, I don’t see it. The reasons why on Saturday.

i hope the eagles loose all games , i hope attendance drops , and cash is lost . they deserve this for hiring a guy who took dogs by their feet and slammed them into the ground to kill them .
what kind of roll model is this louse , he shouldn't have a chance to gain millions of dollars . this team is just starved for a win , i hope not

i guess speaking against the eagles isn't allowed , the mentality of people about football is very questionable . they act as if this is what the world is about and couldn't care or are interested in what is actually happening in our country
