i think that maclin could surpass curtis. id hve jackson as #1 reciever and Maclin and #2 reciever

by nfleagles on Apr 26, 2009 6:05 PM EDT reply actions

maybe

but maclin is a rookie and needs work on his route running and catching. I think Maclin could be the #2 by the end of the year but not on Opening Day

I’m not sure Justice and Dunlap are safe either.

but justice could be a goner

Lorenzo Booker, Reggie Brown, Mike McGlynn, Mike Gibson, and Fenuki Tupuo
B/C I think they will cut

FB Kyle Eckel, TE Jon Dorenbos (ST), OL Winston Justice

NO WAY

They cut Dorenbos. I don’t think he’ll line up at TE ever, but he’s been a flawless longsnapper for us

"What did it feel like? That collision, I didn't feel nothing, because he was pretty much defenseless. It was like running through a cardboard box. Seriously. Cardboard box."- Sheldon Brown on his pounding of Reggie Bush in the '06 Playoffs

I think Macho Harris

could make the team and return punts as well. Eagles love CBs just like they love line depth.

And I agree that some of the back-end jobs you list as safe aren’t necessarily 100% safe.

Klecko might be a safer bet to make the team than Eckel, for instance. Daniels is probably good b/c of STs, but no idea about Tracy White. Seven LBs seems like a lot unless the backups are all ST studs.

Maybe some camp injuries get a guy stuck on IR for a year or two.

Plenty of time to overanalyze between now and Lehigh.

Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
