A friend and I did a 7 round mock draft for BreakingTackles.com. I took the evens, he took the odds. Here are the Eagles' picks: 1 (15): Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame 2 (46): Lavonte David, OLB, Nebraska 2 (51): Jayron Hosley, CB, Virginia Tech 3 (88): Mike Martin, DT, Michigan 4 (114): Cyrus Gray, RB, Texas A&M 5 (153): B.J. Coleman, QB, Chattanooga 6 (172): Evan Rodriguez, FB/TE, Temple 6 (194): Jeff Adams, OT, Columbia 6 (200): Janzen Jackson, FS, McNeese State
Dan Pompei's source within the Patriot's front office is saying that "Coach Bill Belichick will use the controversial players to help control and send a message to his locker room." and cut them by the end of preseason. If this is true, somewhere Joe Banner just cracked an evil smile as he fires up his Blackberry. Don't forget that our D-line coach is a guy that Haynesworth has gone on record saying that he'd take a pay cut to play for again.
"He had a small micro fracture, but all of his ligaments and cartilage was intact... the knee is very stable, and he’s had no swelling in his knee throughout the whole process. He’s been running, and he started running routes this past week. We’re just going to bring him back slowly and see what he can do. We’ll get him in a formal rehab with [head trainer] Rick [Burkholder] and we’ll just see exactly where he’s at. It could be three weeks….I don’t know. I have to see how he does here. We know he’s a fine football player, and we just need to get his leg where it needs to be." Here's proof positive of the philosophical difference in the way that New York's and Philadelphia's front offices operate. Philly is willing to invest/bet a few million dollars and a couple weeks of rehab on a proven, top tier NFL talent. The Giants tried to strong arm'em into a crappy deal.
Plaxico Burress is about to be released from prison. Should the Eagles take a chance? I've listed a timeline of his career lowlights while in the nfl.
Hey guys, I just finished making a table of all the 2011 draft prospects that privately worked out, or met with the Eagles. It's not the prettiest one out there, but if you see anything that should be added, let me know.
The tastiest tidbit in this article is as follows: "So now the question: What will Kolb command? "I guarantee you it will be high," said one coach. "The Eagles always shoot high." That means a first-rounder and something else, probably another high draft pick, and while that exceeds what Houston quarterback Matt Schaub commanded when the Falcons traded him -- for a flip of first-rounders and two No. 2s -- apparently it hasn't dismayed suitors. Several clubs said they heard there's a bidding war on for Kolb, with clubs desperate to fill the most important position. You can figure that Arizona, San Francisco and Minnesota probably are involved, with all desperate to fill quarterback openings, but they're not saying, and (n)either are the Eagles." Me Likee...
