NFC East Rebound players in 2009 (EAGLES)

The NFC east I think has the best division in the NFL because it's always so equally matched. That's unlike any division. But last year there there were some drop-offs in some of the positions in each ball club. Here are the Eagles.

FB's

Last Year: Kyle Eckel / Dan Klecko

Man....We were horrible last year at 3rd or 4th and short.
We majorly improved this off season with Leonard Weaver. He would have been a big help against the Bears

WR's

I believe last year our WR's played unbelievable. But here's three that are bouncing back

Reggie Brown has too come back strong or he is out. His stats for 08 were 18 catches, 252 yards, averaging 14.0 yrds and 1 TD. He could have had another TD if he could get 1 MORE YARD TO WIN THE GAME AGAINST THE REDSKINS (the second meeting). But he only started 10 games this season. He has to show that he can be a productive option for McNabb before it's Maclin's turn. Hank Baskett last year blended into the crowed despite having his best year with 33 rec, 440 yrds, averaging 13.3, and with 3 TD. He needs to also prove himself. He's our biggest receiver at 6'4''. He needs to be a beast in the red zone. And Kevin Curtis was amazing during the Cardinals game and all of the regular season. I'm calling him a comeback player because he was injured last year and I expect even more.

Short and simple, he was injured last season and he needs to protect McNabb this year. Will be one of our best on the line.

Defence

Victor Abiamir will be more active in the rotations this year. Playing only 10 games he got 11 tackles (solo and assists) and 2 sacks. He may even win the starting job (according to him)

Omar Gaither

Benched half way thought the season. I expect him to get his job back and with his 07 numbers with 102 tackles.

He unproven and on a short leash. Has to have a good year and even training camp to make the roster. Eagles have too much depth at DB

Quintin Demps has to prove himself as a starter with Sean Jones at his heels. Especially with a Pro Bowl FS gone.

Who do you think will have a come back year?

My picks (out of this particular list)

Shawn will be a revelation at RT

Demps will make some early mistakes but will mature during the season. IMO everybody will forget about the Arizona game because of his performance this season.

I think reggie gets cut/ benched the whole year. FB will be whatever it is (think Thomas Tapeh numbers, but with better blocking). Gaither will only have a rebound year if he gets a start due to injury. However, if that happens, I think he’ll be back to his ’07 form

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

I may be retarded here, but who’s DB #7?? i was thinkin Jack, but thought he was #6..

"Eagles fans are a passionate group who love their team," said McNabb, "if not the actual players. It's not like winning a Super Bowl before the first month of the season is the hardest thing they've ever asked of me. That'd be all those times they asked me to go kill myself."

That was corner Aaron Henry, who filled in once Jack got hurt. Jack did wear number 6, by the way.

I know it's not really a "rebound" but

I think Trent Cole has a monster year. If Victor wins the job at LDE and Bunk/Patterson/Laws continue to get better I wouldn’t be surprised if he has 15+ sacks. At the very least I think he reclaims the title of “team leader in sacks.”

Year – Tckl – Sac
2005 – 46 – 5
2006 – 62 – 8
2007 – 70 – 12.5
2008 – 77 – 9

"Seriously… F off." JasonB to a Denver fan after Dawk left.
