The Eagles announced today that they've released CB Jack Ikegwuonu(for the 2nd time this year) and signed CB Geoffrey Pope off the Bengals practice squad. From PE.com
Pope (6-0, 186) started the 2009 season on the Cincinnati Bengals active roster and appeared in four games, playing mostly on special teams. He was waived on October 8, but was signed to their practice squad the next day and has been there for the balance of the year.
Pope came into the league as a UDFA signed by the Dolphins in 2007. He spent time with the Giants, where he actually got a superbowl ring and played in the 07-08 playoffs. I suppose the thought is that having played under Steve Spagnuolo in New York, he'd at least have a working knowledge of the system here.

"The punt to DeSean Jackson. The punt. Short, Jackson takes it at the 32. Looks for running room, reverses the field. He's at the 40. 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, He's gonna go!
"McNabb in the shotgun again. McNabb takes the snap, fakes, he's back, he's looking, he is going deep for DeSean Jackson, who races, has it! TOUCHDOWN!!! DeSean Jackson!!

Looks like all the good JIBTA jokes are taken
but if Jack Ike couldn’t break the lineup now, it wasn’t happenin’
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
good point
we’re in basic CB desperation mode…if you have any talent, you’re not getting cut

I liked the Iguana when the Eagles drafted him. I didn’t go out on the limb JIBTA did, but I loved the pick. Then again, I thought Matt Ware was a fantastic pick. I am definitely not Mel Kiper.
I liked Matt Ware too
I think part of it is we get excited for all picks in the top 3 rounds and think they must be good if they were drafted that high. But for every Celek/Cole we nail in the 5th, we whiff on a 2nd or 3rd. It happens to 100% of the teams in the NFL.
That said, Ware is still in the NFL. (He’s played in 8 games this year with the Cardinals). So is LaJuan Ramsey (Rams), Ryan Moats (Texans), Studebaker (Chiefs) and a handful of other Eagles draft picks/castoffs (Baskett, Amendola, I’m sure others I can’t think of at the moment) that weren’t good enough for our team at a particular time but are good enough for the NFL.

I REALLY was high on Studebaker

Just wanted to thank you for Studebaker
I’m intrigued by “Iguana” now, not that the Chiefs will grab him. We are currently speculating about our CB Leggett and believe he will most likely go to IR. What do you guys think about Ikegwonu?
Yeah, let's just keep matriculatin' the ball down the field, boys! ...
He can't play here
if he can’t get a job on our ailing roster, he’s not a good fit here. He may somewhere else though…and we could really use Studebaker back
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
Yeah, give him back
He’s a needed LB and a D3 guy!

i was really high on studebaker
but haven’t followed him since he left us…how’s he been doing for you guys?

one of the picks he took 98 yards (no TD)
My "t" and "y" buttons are messed up so don't bitch at me about misspelling, I'm just saying.

What scares me is
If he’s not good enough for the Giants mediocre secondary, I’m hoping hes improved since then!

he won’t react…
he’s going to stay off the thread until the jokes get old, and then he’ll start yapping about something else as if this never happened

i thought he played pretty damn good the other night. he showed tackling ability. he was able to cover the slant. he showed good poise. we definitely need to keep him around.

Pope ran a 4.29 in his pro day......
lets see what he does
still good to know, 4.29 means he’s at least athletic

The Iguana will be hard to spot when he blends himself into his free agency surroundings, also called obscurity.
