OG Greg Isdaner Signs Three-Year Deal

by Bob_Q on May 4, 2010 5:24 PM EDT in Philadelphia Eagles News

The Eagles announced this morning that they have signed offensive guard Greg Isdaner to a three-year deal. The 6'4", 325 lb West Virginia grad spent time with both the Cowboys and Eagles during 2009 before being released from Philadelphia's practice squad at the end of the season. He was signed in lieu of former Buccaneers guard Shawn Murphy, who flunked Friday's minicamp physical.

This signing has the potential to turn into a quality backup linemen for the Eagles. Isdaner has been said to possess starter-quality strength and quickness, and a demonstrated knack for picking up the blitz. His skills in the run blocking department could use work, however, and he has been known to struggle pushing the pile. Still, with a quality offensive line coach like Juan Castillo, Isdaner has the potential to develop into a decent backup for the team. He will join Nick Cole, Max Jean-Gilles, Dallas Reynolds, and Zipp Duncan in the battle for the reserve guard positions.

Any chance we might have too many guards and not enough tackles now?

I don't think so

We just have a lot of small, quiet additions at tackle: Jeraill McCuller, Austin Howard…and of course, the return of Fenuki Tupou.

Could this be the beginning of the end for Max-Jean? I always thought Max had great potential. I know before he messed-up his ankle I was pretty high on him. I also think he is a great person. He always went out of his way for the fans and the team. I hope Max comes back strong, but I have my doubts. The one thing I hate about NFL football is when great guys like Max, have injury problems, and they get cut. I hate when players I like cannot be consistent enough to stay on the team also. Like Omar Gaither, I doubt he makes our team this year. He has had some great games for us, but then he throws a stinker, inconsistency is the beginning of the end for marginal guys.

Consistancy can definitely be a killer

You’ll always hear the players say that “NFL” stands for “Not For Long” (although I personally like “No Fun League”), so if Max has a shaky preseason, there is absolutely a chance he could be gone. I don’t want to read too much into it yet, though, but I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on the roster battle throughout training camp.

I played against him in drills at a camp, I went to HS in Delaware. Played against him at UPenn’s camp where Episcopal’s entire team was haha. He was a big big buy, got really low for his size too. How that translates to the NFL is beyond me, every NFL’er was dominant in HS.
