McCoy Displaying Skills in Blitz Pickup
it was a bit of a surprise this week when McCoy was being cheered for his work in a blocking drill. That’s because his ability in that area was the one big question most NFL teams had about him prior to the draft.

With the season-ending injury to middle linebacker Stewart Bradley, the door has been opened for either Joe Mays or Omar Gaither to become the new starter at that position with the distinct possibility that Mays plays in the base defense and Gaither takes the field in passing situations.

Love to hear that McCoy is showing some good blocking skills after so many people spouted off that “McCoy can’t block” despite never having actually seen him play.

Bye, Big Stew and JJ :(

Thats cause

People just spout what they read or hear on radio without knowing it themselves (much like politics). Most if not all featured backs out of college need to learn how to block better when they get to the NFL.

No one is drafting the 3rd string back out of Alcorn Start cause he can handle the blitz well.

There’s a joke in this quote somewhere. It’s not really hiding, either.

I wonder if Lurie gets as sick from seeing at Red Sox hat in Iggles country.

Considering he's an avid Red Sox fan I'd say

no

RIP Jim Johnson. You will truly be missed.
