Jeremiah Trotter Signs with iggles!

[Davnpurt]

This deal really worries me. I remember being ecstatic when we signed Trotter two years ago. He’s a young, blue-collar type player who meshes well with his team mates. He may not have fit well into Williams’ scheme but the front office should have done everything under the sun to keep him from going to another NFC East team; much less the favored Eagles. Word around their camp is that Simoneau wears down easy and Nate Webster did little to establish himself as a defensive force. Andy Reid does not wear his emotions or thoughts on his sleeve and I’d be willing to bet himself and Jim Johnson are elated over the opportunity to plug Trotter back into their attack / blitz first scheme. Plus this gives the atrocious Eagles fans another opportunity to gloat over the ‘Skins. I really wouldn’t be surprised if he establishes himself as the starter at the conclusion of training camp. He may have borrowed his knee ligaments from Raef Lafrentz but he is only 27 and prefers down hill tackling over the read and react style that Offiss described.
