Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

WR Frantz Hardy, FB Luke Lawton and G Cameron Stephenson. No surprises there.

I was hoping Lawton would make it just so I could yell “Use the Force, Luke” if he ever made a good play.

That said, I’m hopeful that Tony Hunt plays well at FB.

Lastly, I like the way G Cobb wrote it up on his site:

I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t carry any real FB’s so they can make room for Hunt and Buckhalter on the roster. I think they’re positive about keeping Booker because of his receiving prowess, and Buckhalter is a tried and true second back to Westbrook, and with Hunt showing us his strong running style and strength, I think they’re going to want to keep them all. But that doesn’t leave a whole lot of room. Then again, they could free up some room by placing a certain receiver on IR and picking up a FB in the mean time who will split the reps with Hunt. Can they do that though?

Hardy from what I heard in camp didn’t really do all that much, he wasn’t good, but he wasn’t bad, and I think with the competition for those last two real “open” spots in the WR unit it was going to be tough competition.

The Eagles really haven't had a "real" FB in awhile

Last season the Eagles didn’t carry a “real” fullback last season either. Tapeh was converted to fullback as was Josh Parry in previous seasons. John Ritchie was the last real fullback the Eagles had.
