Top Five Disappointments From Eagles Training Camp

1. Nick Cole- He had the starting Center postion in his grasp, but instead looked as if he didn’t even practice the position in the offseason. Then he got injured and if McGlynn plays capable over these next couple pre season games, i do believe that is your starter until Jackson comes back.

2. Moise Fokou- Another person who had the Strong Side LB spot ready for him to assume that role and has seem to lost out to Akeem Jordan. he doesn’t even seem like he would be the first man off the bench in relief and now they are trying to see if he can be a DE.

3. Clint Ingram- Could of been special and added a new threat to our offense, possibly having us run more 2 TE sets, but instead dealt with injuries yet again. Seeems to have slipped behind Rucker on the depth chart.

4. Joselio Hanson- It was only one pre season game but he seems more like the player late last year then the player early last year. Had a legitimate shot at nabbing the RCB spot, but lost out to a guy coming off a serious neck injury.

5. Ken Parrish- Had the opportunity to solidify our inconsistent punter spot but instead has already been cut from the team. I don’t think it was Sav Rocca having a great camp as much as Parrish not having a noticable camp at all.

I actually caught the first half of a Seahawks preseason game on NFLN, and Chris Clemons was absolutely tearing it up, which I found sort of comical.

Agreed on the Tapp and Sapp boys… If you’re a DE and you’ve been completely silent… Not good.

Can’t say I disagree with any of the others… Nailed the winners and losers.

Ingram hasn’t played in 2 years and was coming off 2 major injuries. I wouldn’t call him a disappointment by any stretch. Just a guy who couldn’t overcome alot of obstacles.

Cole should be on this list. Entered camp as the starting C. Will likely exit as the backup C/G. For a guy who supposedly worked alot this offseason, it certainly didn’t show in training camp.

Fokou also belongs. As much as people complained about Gocong, he also has the ‘low awareness’ problem. Even though he is faster, just isn’t in the right place at the right time more often that not. Can’t start at LB in the NFL if that is the case. He also supposedly got alot bigger/stronger this offseason but really showed up to camp with just a bit bigger.

Macho Harris (a guy who might just get cut even though it is really due to injury), Baskett, DTO, and Chaney also could belong on this list.

For all of the talk about the Eagles having a ‘great camp,’ I take it with a more nuanced approach. The important thing is that they didn’t have any really serious injuries this year and that Allen & Graham look like they are going to make an impact on defense which is what this team desperately needs to have a decent defense.

Isn’t Charles Scott supposed to be the next Marion Barber? Wasn’t he supposed to dethrone Buckley and dispel the all pro Weaver?

Tapp has to be the biggest disappointment

All the smart people knew that Ingram had a huge chance of not contributing much.. Sorry but the kid hasn’t played in 2 years and is coming off major surgeries. Not in lne to be the next Gonzo.. As far as Scott, us smarties also knew he was a gamble and at best he would get 10 carries this season behind McCoy Bell and Weaver. Did anyone expect someone who at best was going to get 10 carries to light it up?

Sapp — Same thing, he’s switching positions..One thats very tough technique wise if you never really played it before… and he was a late round pick..

Now for Tapp…This is a guy who’s been in the league a few years has had a tremendous amount of QB pressures and knockdowns..>was regarded as Seattle’s best young players…

and to show up and disappear… tapp takes the cake

out of 53 + guys we could be disappointed in……and we all pretty much pick the same 4-5?? and half of them are because of injuries? Id say thats a pretty dawn great …..There are a lot more guys that impressed and proved critics wrong if you ask me….Now let’s see that progress into the regular season…..It looks good, we have to bve pleased up to this point…no doubt about it

at different times through the year. I see us having trouble against tough, physical teams and good QB’s. We have an abundance of this on the schedule. Just may be a good year to take our licks and learn. I hate that too! I love a winner like the next, but I like to be honest about it.
