The Official Philadelphia Eagles Thread

Johnson and Bloom's being cut has been independently confirmed.

If this isn't proof:

Sav Rocca has signed a 3-year contract with the Eagles today.

I also FULLY expect another roster move (waiver claim or so) before the end of the day today.

 

Definitely a done deal. I'm sure he'll improve as he gets more experience too. He could easily end up being a Pro Bowler eventually.

 

Hey guys, just letting you know I registered. I am wbgrafix on the old nfl-fans site. man that place went down hill

 

AWESOME! Welcome, amigo. I assume you got my email.

 

Nice to see you here, wbgrafix.

Great job on your blog, Tib!

 

Cuts are official, and they're DIFFERENT than the original list:

WR J. Bloom
P D. Johnson
CB R. Barksdale
FB J. Cain
WR Z. Collie
LB T. Daniels (WHAT?)
FB J. Davis
CB D. Fox
S C.J. Gaddis
WR M. Gasperson
S E. Harris
C J. Harvey
G J. Hobbs
DT M. Lopez
RB N. Ilaoa
DE M. Murrell
WR J.J. Outlaw
T J. Palmer
LB D. Roper
DT J. Clark
WR B. Sampy
TE L. Vickers

Some real shocks in there (Daniels and Roper)...

 

Daniels? Wow. I didn't see that one coming. Man, I have some serious concerns over this defense.

 

Daniels for Jordan is what worries me. Akeem had a ton of preseason tackles (think he was 3rd in the NFL), but I think Daniels is/was the better player. Jordan (generously listed at 228) is VERY undersized, and Daniels (at 245-250) played well here. Like I said in my blog post, we're not done yet--I think another shoe will drop, I just don't know what.

 

I don't know why they are so in love with undersized players.

 

Dawk...glad to see your Eagels have given Sav a contract as punter...he will not let you down.:icon_biggrin:

 

I hope you're right, Tabu. The raw talent is most certainly there.

 

Donovan Darius got cut yesterday. I think anything ou there is an upgrade over Considine.

 

I doubt they look at Darius. They really don't find anything wrong with Considine.

The Eagles made two moves early this afternoon--they signed DT Kimo vonOelhoffen, recently cut by the Jets, and placed DT Ian Scott on the "minor injured reserve" list, meaning that when he can return, he will be released by the Eagles, and will be a free agent who can sign with any team BUT the Eagles.

Scott making the team was nothing more than a diversionary tactic to acquire a healthy DT.

Gracias. The last line was the real point of the post.

 

No problem. In case you guys aren't aware of the feature here, you can find Eagles new nice and easily. Go to the top and click NFC News. Then go to the NFC East and on to the Eagles.

 

Eagles also picked up JR Reed from waivers today as well.

 

Really? I haven't seen it. I don't have a problem with it if so.

 

Yes. JR Reed, and UDFA LB Pago Togafau.

To make room, LB Akeem Jordan, and S Marcus Paschal were released. Togafau will back up Omar Gaither at MIKE. He's 5'10", 250, and played at Idaho State. I'm sure you all know Mr. Reed.

 

So Reed is now our kick returner that quickly? Uggh. This team seems to get worse by the second.
