Ingram and Gibson - Top Values

You know, I haven’t thought much about the Gibson pick until right now. I guess I thought he was just an insurance pick to create competition.

Pros: Good Height and Bulk….Smooth Athlete…Excellent Hands….Terrific Ball Skills and Body Control….Very Agressive….Good Leaper….Real Tough….Isn’t Afraid to Work the Middle…Technically Sound…Above Average Route Runner….Decent Blocker…Hard Worker….Team Player

Cons: Doesn’t Have Great Speed or Quickness…Isn’t Very Explosive and Lacks a Burst…Not Real Elusive and Won’t Do Much After the Catch…Needs to Get Stronger….Could Be More Physical…Is Not Much of a Vertical or Deep Threat…Doesn’t Get Much Separation….Upside is Limited

Does all the little things and has top notch intangibles. Profiles as a possession receiver on the next level.

All of these qualities sound remarkably similar to the attributes of Jason Avant, so it’s kind of a puzzling pickup. I’m rooting for him because like Avant, he has incredible work ethic and motivation, but he has to make it through training camp first. I think Banner and Reid know they just locked up the vertical threat with DeSean and Maclin, so they are trying to really go after a strong underneath passing game to really give Mcnabb all sorts of options.

If Gibson can play special teams then I think he will make it. That is one of the main reasons why I think Reggie Brown is done here because there is no place for him on the game day roster since he doesn’t play on ST and we drafted Maclin and Avant is our slot WR.

reggie is the starter right now .. over desean .. desean will need a good camp to overtake reggie .. reggie was hurt last year .. u all may have lost faith in him .. andy reid didnt .. he will play .. gibson could make it over baskett tho ..

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am – Reggie was healthy for quite a few games and was still benched in favor of DeSean last year. I believe Reggie will have to have a good camp to overtake DeSean… I see it the other way around.

Even though they weren’t in pads and you shouldn’t really judge from that, everytime I hear Ingram’s name come up people keep on saying that he looked great. Do you guys think if he picks up the offense that he could become the starter by the second half of the season? It’s really nothing against Celek but I’ve never really seen him more then a good backup TE.

He’s a guy that was pretty highly rated a year or so ago, but he played on such an awful team with a terrible QB that his stock went way down. I got an email from a washington fan who told me he thought the Eagles really got a steal and that GIbson was a real sleeper since he played on such a terrible team.
