[Twentysix]

Any chance joe plays tonite?

[DjKyRo]

I haven't seen anything on the Eagles site but I imagine we'll find out shortly. ;)

[Twentysix]

Missed the basketball game cause i thought it was at 7...lol...

[Tatanka]

He's been in on special teams recently. Hope he gets some playing time and lays the smack down on some Cowboys.

[Twentysix]

I saw that too. Nice hit Joe!

[CaBisonFan]

Get Joe in the game!!!! God, what a hit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DjKyRo]

A thought occurred to me - what happens if the Eagles beat the Cowboys and end up facing the Vikings (if the beat the Saints as well)? Who do we cheer for? :confused: :(

[Twentysix]

Easy, both. We win either way :P

Easy, the Eagles. :) On a side note, I was at the Metrodome today for a home improvement show, jeez, what a dump. It's bad when you're in the stands at a game, but you really get a feel for how crappy it is when there's nobody there and you can walk the empty concourses and get down on field level. Tear it down already and build a new one. I'd gladly help pay for it even though I'm not a Vikings fan. Minnesota deserves better than that disaster.

Nother hit by Joe mays..why the hell dosnt he play more?

Hitting does not mean you can play the position. He has been out of position a bunch this year and is a liability in the passing game.

[Twentysix]

He made 2/4? tackles for Spec teams?

Seems like he has a nose for the ball. I agree he is a liability for passing yet the MLB arent doing great against the pass anyways... blitzing is really the only thing there doing.

I was wondering what has happened to him. I had heard that he had the chance to start when a team mate got hurt but the team brought in another LB. That doesnt show much confidence in his game at this time.
May be the Good Doctor can bring me us up to speed on whats been going on????

[Twentysix]

Wow this is some shitty pass defense.

[CaBisonFan]

Looks to me like #54 has been out of position several times in this game.

From what I have seen this year, preseason and during the season when he was given a shot, he gets caught in the "wash" too much. It seems like he sucks inside almost like he's shooting the gap but doesn't come out the other side. Now, I'm not a LB expert, but it seems like he is overeager, and needs to stay parallel to the LOS longer until the RB decides where to run, thus not getting caught in the wash. I know one of his "issues" coming out of college was that he's not super fluid in the hips so he is susceptible to getting "crossed up" on play action, etc etc etc. And as most of you know, one misstep is enough in the NFL to cause a huge play.

I think he'll get a chance again, he just needs some time and the Eagles probably recognize that. If nothing else, he's a good special teamer, so he has value to the team.

[NorthernBison]

Can Joe play safety. They need help there.

[Twentysix]

They needs safteys corners and lb.....

unfortunately christmas came and went.

[NDSUstudent]

Wow the Cowboys are crushing the Eagles again. 24-7 now

[EndZoneQB]

lmao, Mays with a kick return hahaha

[Twentysix]

Heh. Woulda been amazing if he some how juked them and made it into the endzone. too bad. lol!

[Tatanka]

Stick a fork in the Eagles. Barring an epic collapse by the Cowboys, Philly is DONE. :smh:

From the team speak you could tell that he was considered a project.
But hes had some opportunities where he could have really have taken advantage. Those opps dont come around everyday.

[Bisonfan1]

His name has been called a couple times tonight, major hits !!! GO JOE !!!!

[stevdock]

I completely agree with EndZoneQB on Joe. He does get stuck in the wash way too much. I think he will get another shot with either the Eagles or another team, he's just got to take advantage of it. The thing he has that you can't teach is the desire to do it. He's just got to get his body to do what I'm sure his mind is trying to tell it to do. That unfortunately is the hard part.

I was the only one in the Dome cheering for the Eagles last year...AND in my Joe Mays jersey mind you! ;)

[ndsubison1]

lol... joe mays with -10 return yards for his career

[BisManBison]

Joe mays just annihilated that guy on the punt return omg. Looked like he hit him with a car.

About the only play I saw in the game, but I scared half the patrons in the Blarney Stone in Bismarck when I screamed "oh what a hit by JOE MAYS, NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERISTY". I never did see them show a replay on the hit though.

[Twentysix]

They didn't.

I did the same thing at paradiso here in bismarck! i yelled JOE MAYS!!! and some people were looking at me like "Who is this guy yelling?" lol

[A1pigskin]

The Vikings could use Joe.

[Twentysix]

Not really, the vikings fatal flaw is pass coverage. Thats not what joes good at :P.

[CaBisonFan]

The pass coverage was better before Antoine Winfield & Henderson were hurt. It got worse when Winfield tried to come back full-time. Last weekend they used him in certain situations, and it was much better again. In his current condition, he's a liability. The rookie at MLB has gotten better each week. Losing two all-pro caliber players, one being your defensive leader/signal caller has changed the team.

I think that Joe will work at this part of his game and will be playing full-time soon. If the Eagles don't want him out there, someone else will.
