Not to continue the thread digression (except to do exactly that) but it's become a pet peeve of mine that people blame that Jurevicious play (or even the entire Tampa game) on Trotter's absence. Am I the only one who realizes that Trotter can't cover a receiver to save his life, let alone a wideout? Remember how they signed Shawn Barber to get him the hell off the field on nickel downs? People need to face facts - the Eagles got their butts kicked in that game, and no single play would have changed it.

"no single play would have changed it. "
Totally agree and this has been a mantra of mine for many many years.... too many plays(on both sides of the ball) happen over the course of a game to blame only one for a loss.
It's like the same in baseball where many think that losing a game in Sept hurts more than losing one in April does, it's same thing only on a season long outlook.
Now about Reggie getting hurt...........................

He's good at what he does, but his roll probably stays what it is for much of his career - and that's a situational pass rusher. Nothing wrong with that, of course.

Regarding his weight coming out of college(EMB): "And he was so difficult to stop because of that speed. At just 240 pounds (and that's being liberal), Cole beat blockers with sheer burst, great acceleration and a lot of effort and constant hustle."
likewise from SI at drafttime: "Ht., Wt.: 6-2.5, 236"
Regarding what they expected him to do in preparation for the 05 season(EMB):"What Is Next: Cole will eventually have to work on his weight and try to get into the 250-pound range (maybe more) and retain his speed."
Regarding this current off-season (EMB):
Cole yearns to build on the rookie season. He's become stronger - Cole's listed at 270 pounds, 10 more than this time last season "
From FD's "Off The Wall" dept., I wonder if he couldn't also become a secret weapon "big back" after reading this blurb about his HS stats from his alma mater Cinncy: "At Xenia High School Cole was named All-State by the Associated Press and Defensive Lineman of the Year his senior season after recording 121 tackles and eight sacks, not to mention rushing on the offensive side of the ball for more than 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns."
Likewise from a Reuben Frank article about him:
'Trent Cole always wanted to be a running back. He ran the ball for the Xenia (Ohio) Bulldogs back in high school and was actually recruited by several colleges as a running back.
“Sometimes I wish I was still a running back,” Cole said................
What about that career as a running back?
Cole actually still uses a lot of techniques from his running backs days as a defensive end.
The first step, the ability to see holes, the knack for cutting and turning in small spaces. It all goes back to running back.
“Having been a running back definitely helps,” he said. “If a hole opens, hit that hole. Really, I feel like a running back out there playing defense.”
