    No.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

      The better question might be: does Jenkins miss being on the Packers?

        Jenkins is sure making a difference for the Eagles. Their defense has given up 35, 29, 24, and 31 points the last four games. They gave up 35 to Atlanta.

          Unfair. This D is not great. Jenkins would be an improvement. Is he a good guy to have around long term? Maybe, maybe not. When right he's as good as anyone we've got.

            He might be good, but would we have been able to extend Nelson and Sitton + perhaps Finley and Wells with his $5-6M on the books? I'm not sure. I'm sure they liked Neal and thought they could get by with him and Wilson. Hasn't worked out, but I'm not sure the DL is the main problem. Most 3-4 DL don't rack up sacks and pressures. If you are going to criticize Thompson, I'd say criticize him for not finding a way to get a good pass rushing ROLB opposite Matthews.

              Agree 100%. Not re-signing Jenkins hurts, but it was still the right move both then and now for all the reasons you cite Harv.

                I'm not criticizing at all. I'm 110% good with TT. Just saying your point is unfair as I'm sure you know. This team is better today with Jenkins than without. Is it better next year? I don't know about that one. I don't know whether I would have resigned him or not. I'm not a huge Jenkins fan as he's constantly hurt.

                  I think everybody agreed that Jenkins is good (although he's 30+ and injury prone). The argument has always been whether we should have resigned him.
