PrintIt took a little longer than I expected, but Miami defensive end Eric Moncur is an Eagle again. The undrafted rookie was released earlier during training camp to make room for Jared Perry, but the recent release of punter Ken Parrish left a roster spot open. In case any of you forgot about Moncur, here is a brief bio via the Eagles website:
The 6-1, 237-pound Moncur registered 110 tackles and 11 sacks in his career at Miami (Fla.), posting a career high and ranking second on the team with six sacks in 2007. He attended Carol City High School in Miami, Fla., where he racked up 34 sacks in his final two seasons and earned SuperPrep All-America honors.
Since safety Antoine Harris has been moved to injured reserve, this opens up yet another roster spot, so expect to see the Eagles make a move in the safety department within the next day or so. They have already worked out undrafted rookie Terrell Skinner and veteran Jamaal Fudge.
Oh, and for any of you keeping track, the roster now stands at 79 players (Jamaal Jackson and Todd Herremans already counted towards the 80-man total despite being on the PUP list). The Eagles have until August 31st to trim their roster to 75. Who do you think will be the first to go?

Atleast 2 wideouts will be released since we have about 10-12 of them. Id also have to say an offensive lineman and a defensive lineman.
As much as I love the name
I’d have to go with Zipp Duncan for one of the o-linemen. I haven’t been impressed so far.

Perry's developed a solid rapport with Mike Kafka
He could be good practice squad material.

If that's the case
Then Arrington is out. He’s shown nothing and he’s been injured.

Arrington
Arrington has the bonus of getting a draft pick for the drop…also, earlier dropped, more likely to catch on with a team, and there are plenty out there looking for RB depth…Mallett’s performance was the nail in Arrington’s coffin…

Some guys who could be among the first five cuts:
- J.J. Arrington Zipp Duncan
-
- Jared Perry David Pender

I was going with all of these names
Plus Pope. that may leave our 2nd/3rd string DBs thin, though. So, I’ll throw out my dark horse: Queen Dunlap.

I don't think Dunlap will get cut that early
But it wouldn’t surprise me if Austin Howard replaced him on the final roster. He’s been really impressive so far and has even been getting reps with the 1s when Jason Peters takes a breather.

Yeah haha
Word is the Eagles will sign a safety within the next 24 hours, but it won’t be either of the safties they’ve worked out so far.

Can’t be. He signed a 5 year deal in June.

I didn't know this
(Jamaal Jackson and Todd Herremans already counted towards the 80-man total despite being on the PUP list)
is it only during the regular season that PUP doesn’t count toward the roster total?
Let's get it Birds.
What about that tool Boo Robinson? How’s he doing? Bring on his Agent!

Wow, the fact that this double-posted is obnoxious, rendering my reply hypocritical and ineffective. Thanks, computer glitch.
