Eagles Add Two More to Practice Squad

Yesterday, the Eagles brought back five players who had been released with the final roster cuts to form their 2011 practice squad. Today, they added two more: wide receiver Ronald Johnson and tight end Anthony Hill.
The 5'11" Johnson was a sixth round choice of the 49ers, but didn't manage to earn a spot on their final roster. He brings a good amount of experience returning punts and kicks.
The Texans chose the massive 6'6" Hill with their fourth round pick in the 2009 draft. Despite remaining with the team for two seasons, Hill was only on the active roster for five games, catching a single nine-yard pass. He'll be the first player the Eagles call if either Brent Celek or Clay Harbor get bitten by the injury bug.
Look for the final spot on the Eagles' eight-man practice squad to be filled by DT Cedric Thornton, who was released yesterday to make room for OG Kyle DeVan.
[Update by JasonB, 09/05/11 5:59 PM EDT ] It's official. Cedric Thornton is back

No first bullshit
I got it. I’m not new here I just didn’t realize that you guys were so sensitive. I did it once and I don’t plan on ever doing it again. I was just excited. Can’t we just let it ride since it’s my first offense?

I can’t emphasize enough how terrible Johnson was in training camp and preseason. He dropped passes, he fumbled punts, he was terrible.
The 49ers kept Joe Hastings on their practice squad over him. Joe Hastings! He looks like Michael Cera, but with blond hair.
C’mon Eagles…
Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Weird… Oh well, I’m sure the Eagles like what they saw on tape from Johnson out of USC.

Good pick ups. I actually like both of these guys.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Howard Mudd is going to turn Anthony Hill into a TE. He is a great blocker and he is MASSIVE. At 6’6" and about 278 pounds all he does is need to add some weight.
And I’m calling it now, Ronald Johnson makes this roster next year if he is still around. He is a decently sized (5’11" and 200 lb.) receiver with good speed (4.46 40 yard dash) who runs good routes and has good hands (he did at USC at least). He can also return punts. He is a good addition to the squad, I really like that move.

I think Hill already is a tight end.
75% of the Earth is covered by water, the rest by Nnamdi Asomugha.
Suck My Vick.
That’d be worth a shot. From what I understand he was a solid pass catcher until he hurt his knee in college and is now mostly limited to blocking, but does a good job of it. He’ll probably never make the team as a TE so it’s worth a try.

Last year, possibly. He looked good in camp last year, that’s how he made the team to begin with, but got overblown a bit and reality set in this year. But even last year it was more “let’s keep this guy and give Dunlap the boot” rather than clamor for him to start over Justice. But there was a bit of the latter, as I recall.
I hope
Austin makes the ravens and starts…cuz he sucked our 1st two PS games.

I don’t know if they ever gave him a shot in the preseason at PR but he certainly has the skill set to be effective. Not sure about his hands though.

considering he doesnt like to return punts & the whole contract issue, i could see him trying to deter the job to someone else
Where did he say he didn't like returning punts?

who are ps linebackers?is there a ps roster list somewhere?
It's never easy being an Eagle fan........but I'll be damned if I ever stop.
Thanks
Not sure how reassuring that is, but now…..how do I find a ps squad roster to print,even though it will likely change every 48 hours or so.
