THE MORNING BREW
Heat, Eagles in different situations
If I hear anybody utter the words, "Philadelphia Eagles" and "Miami Heat" in the same sentence, the words "aren't like" must be in the sentence as well.
July 8, 2010 — a day that will live in infamy. It was a day that LeBron James announced that he would be taking his talents to South Beach to team up with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.
James then said this trio would win not one, not two, not three, but many championships. Expectations were high, as they were projected to win the 2011 NBA championship, but the Dallas Mavericks spoiled those plans and won the franchise's first title.
The Eagles will have those same expectations as they have loaded up with free agent signings.
The Eagles swooped in — pun intended — and stole cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, who was expected to go to the New York Jets, the Dallas Cowboys or the Houston Texans. The defensive line was bolstered by the signings of Cullen Jenkins and Jason Babin. Michael Vick was given more targets in wide receiver Steve Smith who was with division rival New York Giants. Former Miami Dolphin Ronnie
the Heat is because these players didn't conspire before signing. It just happened. The pieces just fell into place. Besides, none of these players have come out and said anything like James. The media is placing pressure on this team. It's saying Super Bowl or bust.
Brown gives the Eagles depth at running back, and if Vick happens to get injured, the offense won't really change with Vince Young stepping in. Young was signed because the Eagles traded backup quarterback Kevin Kolb to Arizona for cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cartmore.
The secondary team for the Eagles is ridiculous. Rodgers-Cromartie and Asomugha join Asante Samuel to make up — in my opinion — the best secondary in the league. I don't know how any team is going to want to throw the ball. When the Chicago Bears go to Philadelphia, these three should have a field day since Jay Cutler threw 16 interceptions and got sacked a woeful 52 times last season.
This isn't a lofty expectation as it is a talented team, but it's sports and the games have to be played.
The reason the Eagles are different from
Just be thankful football is back and the league isn't locked out like the NBA. The Eagles will have an opportunity to complete their quest for a Lombardi Trophy whereas the Heat and the NBA look to be locked out for the entire season and maybe more.
