Roseman: Phillip Hunt Beat Out Daniel Te’o-Nesheim

One of the surprising cuts the Eagles made today was last year's third round pick Daniel Te'o-Nesheim. Of course, the biggest surprise was that the team would cut bait on a 3rd round pick so fast, but as Howie Roseman said today, it just came down to Phillip Hunt coming here and taking the job.

"Well, I think what we looked at was the job that [DE] Phillip Hunt did here in the preseason. We wanted to make sure that we stayed based on what the film was telling us and kind of reacted off that. This is a guy in every game that he played was making a difference rushing the passer, and obviously he was successful in the CFL, and he's a guy that we liked coming out of the University of Houston. I think it's a testament to him that he came in here and had the production that he did and everyday he came to play. It's no slight on Te'o, but more of, really, the camp that Phillip Hunt had."

As the guy who drafted DTO, it had to be a bit of an ego hit for Howie to cut him.. but holding onto a guy who showed less than another a guy just because of ego would be an even bigger mistake than the original pick. Kudos to Howie for seeing that.

"Well I think for us, we just want to be true to the process. We don't want to keep guys on the roster just because of where they're drafted. We always talk about ‘let's make sure we get the players right.' So we don't care where we get them from; whether we get them from waivers, from trades, from the CFL, from the AFL, let's just make sure we have the players. If you let ego get in the way and you make a decision based on that instead of what's best for the team, I don't think that really helps your football team or your organization."

Dumb, selfish question

but I really didn’t see the Hanson cut coming, and pre-ordered a NA jersey… if he wants to change his number to 21, can he do it this year?

I’m stunned, have to say.

by igglemethis on Sep 3, 2011 8:09 PM EDT reply actions  

Someone asked the Eagles this as a Tweet, and they said that he cannot change his number this year, since his jersey has been selling with that number (24) on it.

I mean they have a ton of money and may deem a number that personal to them.

I wore 50 for 2 years because it was the number my Grandfather wore throughout HS also…. I was going to play in college before I got hurt and would’ve kept (or gotten) that number…

And if I were to go pro or whatever it wouldn’t matter the amount of money, I’d do what it took to get that number.

Nnamdi said when he took 24

that it was just a number.

cwel87 is right. If they guy didn’t want to give Joselio a couple thousand to pry his 21 away from him a few weeks ago, why would he want to buy the NFL’s entire stock of No. 24 jerseys.

He’s sticking with 24, at least for now.

It’s something so simple you think all GMs should be doing it this way, but they clearly don’t.

Only think worse than burning a draft pick is burning a draft pick and then a roster spot over and over again.

When I say guys their boom or bust over it’s essentially project guys they think can be great but have flaws.

Once they are drafted they are pretty much all on the same playing field. The first picks will get more reps and longer looks, a bit more attention, but bottom line is when youre number is called upon, whether youre a 3rd rounder or a 7th rounder, you better procude. If you do well, youll get more opportunities. Look at Fokou, Chaney, Coleman….I dont need to tell you this shit dude, you know this. Draft positions are overated. Look back at history and youll see that teams are made up of a mix of all draft rounds, FA, undrafted players….When they come will get more chances, but at the end of the day…they need to perform and perform fast. SOmetimes they get injured, sometimes theyre skills dont translate to thr NFL, whatever…. they are ALL gambles. Theres only so much tape and live action that evaluators can get on the hundreds of players in a draft class. If youre initial assessment is little off, and then you stop looking at other players because you dont have enough time or resources, then that pick may be flawed. But every team goes through this shit. There are way too many variables that go into these draft spots. The top guys stand out for a particular reason or another, but it still doesnt mean theyll translate those skills in your system. Draft positions are overrated. And letting go 3rd rounders, 2nd rounders, whatever. I dont care….as long as they find some starters from the draft class and they supplement through FA, like the Eagles keep doing…then im happy.

I agree wholeheartedly

Just to add, as you mentioned, we always nail a few UDFAs too, like Mikell and Rod Hood. Joselio Hanson we grabbed after the 49ers released him. Dixon, you all know that story.

Draft position has value, but at some point (probably after a season rather than two or three) you have to let it go and evaluate honestly.

I would’ve been mad if they cut Curtis Marsh, for instance. But a year later, I’m not attached to Lindley.

Blame the talent evaluators…the rest of the league may have saw Teo as 5-6th rounder while the Eagles thought he wouldnt get past the 3rd.

Eagles havent had a 3rd round pick in a long time that wasnt a complete bust. That is the round they completely round up 2 + rounds and nab someone.

Just cause the Eagles have 2 7th rounders starting, it doesnt mean those 7th rounders are viable starters for other teams. Year in year out they do this, then end up cutting the whole lot of them ( look at the past few drafts, see who was cut or not resigned, then see who was hyped up by the eagles.. )

Nobody to "fake" IR this year?

I wonder if the new CBA has some additional checks on the Eagles (and others like the Patriots) use of IR to stash draft picks that cannot make the team.
I would have expect TeO-Nesheim (who did have injuries during camp) and possible Marsh because he was considered a project to both have been placed on IR.

Is a DE eligible for the Na Brown award? there is a huge check box next to Hunt’s preseason performance.

For a serious question, is there normally a contract reason or dead money associated with a 3rd round pick. How much financial impact does this cutting do?

by ATLeagle on Sep 3, 2011 9:53 PM EDT reply actions  

Admittedly, I was an unabashed DTN lover at last year’s draft, and I still think he could hook on elsewhere as a rotational guy. Little bummed that it didn’t work out, but it happens, I guess. I did see the writing on the wall as Hunt and co. flourished. The roster cuts this year were numbers games and if the Eagles liked Thornton and Hunt better and/or thought Parker was worth it then I’ll trust that.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Crazy

Some of the talent that we cut that can be starters or good players for other less fortunate teams. I like the final roster and I for one is glad hanson got the boot. He had a ceileng and it was evident. Phillip hunt is going to be a beast I think and I can’t wait to get Graham back. I like Howie more and more every time I hear him. He was the kick in the ass thar this organization needed. And the back to back losses in the first round of the playoffs didn’t hurt either.

McGlynn & Wells could be starters I think for some teams. Thought Wells could have started at RT & McGlynn would have been great G depth ( his normal position, not Center ) here.

Harris apparently has had alot of back problems the past 2 years & I think after the Andrews thing, they are staying away from that. Oline guy with a back problem is like a running back with 1 leg.

Hanson could be the nickel for some teams but I think most teams would shoot for a younger player to learn the role. Who knows though.

by Easedel on Sep 4, 2011 6:49 AM EDT up reply actions  

What?

McGlynn might land somewhere as a backup G because of his experience. He was miscast as a C though.

Wells stinks. He couldn’t displace MJG last year at RG despite MJG being a sieve in pass protection the last 4-5 weeks of the year. Wells will be lucky to get picked up by another team.

Interesting to see if Hanson lands somewhere. I would imagine he does although he has to be a slot guy.

Harris is done due to injury which is a shame. He would have been a nice fit with the Eagles otherwise.

Teo is not Gocong 2.0

Gocong was projected as NFL scouts as being a 3-4 OLB, primarily as a decent pass rusher. He never really fit into the 4-3 system and spent snaps at both DE & OLB in his second season. He was a bad fit from day 1.

Teo was a 4-3 DE in college and Sackseer had him down a sleeper pick due to his potential. He basically didn’t have a chance here due to the players on the roster. He was behind Pro-Bowlers Babin & Cole. Players with starting experience Tapp & Parker & Pass Rushing specialist Hunt. It was due to a numbers game than being Gocong 2.0

DTO stinks

All you need to know is that the Eagles were so desperate last year for DE end help after Graham went down that they were pickup retreads off the street almost on a weekly basis. DTO still couldn’t get a crack at playing time.

There were knocks on his work ethic and how he looked coming into camp this year. I bet he doesn’t even picked up by another NFL team on the practice squad.

This is why I still don’t get why everyone gets so excited when we store up draft picks, half of them end up being total shit. We get 1 Desean Jackson for every 10 DTNs.

thats why we like stockpiled picks

if you have 11 picks a year you get 1 desean a year by your formula…but in all honesty the draft is a large crapshoot and the more picks you have the more chance you have to get ‘lucky’ like Cole, Celek, Chaney, Coleman, Fokou, Bradley(pre-injury)
