First to post it! 8)
Also:
Defensive end Hugh Douglas and fullback Jon Ritchie were among the 19 players the Eagles waived on Saturday, giving players like running back Bruce Perry, fullback Josh Parry and defensive end Juqua Thomas spots on the 53-man roster.
The team also announced the signing of free agent wide receiver Darnerien McCants to a one-year contract. Punter Dirk Johnson was activated from the Physically Unable To Perform list and added to the active roster.
Rookie safety Jeremy Thornburg also made the cut to 53.
Wow......that farging sucks. I really thought Ritchie was going to make it. And Hugh is a really big surprise....let's hope Perry and Parry really pick it up. :-\

That's not bad, glad they only gave him a one year deal. Hopefully at the minimum. Glad to see Thornburg get a spot.
Hugh and Ritchie? What?
I have a feeling Ritchie may be picked back up later. Kinda like Levens last year.
So long as no one else grabs him.
No way Ritchie should have been cut.
Parry sucks ass. :puke
Sorry to see Hugh go but time marches on, I suppose.
BTW: How the farg do Mahe & Wilbur both make the squad again? Good God.
:-D
BTW: Here's Spads' explanation about Hugh getting waived and whether he might be back:
QuoteYou never know, but ... Hugh just got passed by because of Cole and so the Eagles will go 4 DEs until McDougle gets back.
:-\
If Ritchie isn't brought back, then I think the Eagles will go in a different direction than Parry.
I don't see Simoneau on that list ...
True. The fact that Mahe is makes the cut farging baffles me.

Glad to see Jamaal Green is finally gone. And Calvin made the team. :yay
More from Spadaro... this time on Ritchie:
QuoteRitchie just couldn't run in the end.... I just talked to Heckert. That's what it came down to ... They think Parry is fine.
::)
Man, I disagree with this one. Parry is teh svck. :poison
Quote from: Monster on September 03, 2005, 03:46:54 PMRookie safety Jeremy Thornburg also made the cut to 53.
:yay
Nice story there.
I still miss Tapeh.
I knew Ritchie was in trouble when Spasz said he was neck-and-neck with Parry. A healthy Ritchie would've blown Parry away.
I really liked Ritchie. I'll miss him. MURP at FB for the whole year worries me, even if Andrews is back.
I'm hoping the coaches know something we don't (as if this doesn't happen regularly), I just can't see them being that satisfied with Parry. Hopefully that work that waiver wire. :-\
Ritchie doesn't even worry me that much. Hugh is done, that doesn't worry me one bit.
The thing about Ritchie is from watching him it looked like he could hardly move, but even if Parry is better than Ritchie is that good enough?
Blown away by Ritchie... not that surprised about Hugh.
Although we all love Hugh... you gotta admit that he just ain't the same anymore on the field. He was in there against 2nd and 3rd teamers and still didn't make too much noise. Still sucks for him not to be here though. :-\
As for Ritchie... wow... I guess I just firgured that Ritchie 100% or not >>> Parry. I still saw (and heard) Ritchie blowing people up for Westbrook. All I can think is that they want to bring him back after the 1st game for some reason. Still scratchin' my head on this one. :-\
I like that Thornburg made the team though. I already can see him blowing folks up on kickoff coverages. Our Steve Tasker, perhaps? :yay
I thought Hugh's personality and veteran leadership would have been enough to make the team :-\
Don't know how Parry beat Ritchie out, he doesn't lead block as well and his hands aren't as good :boo
I have to say that I am kind of disappointed not to see them on the final roster just because they are two of my favorite players.
hmmmm...ritchie doesn't shock me but i hope they're still looking to upgrade fb. hugh caught me off guard, only because i'm not sold on kalu opposite the freak (until mcdougle returns). thomas looked pretty good backing up kearse in preseason so i suppose they could always move him over to the other side.
and mahe making the team............. :paranoid :P
Ashame about Ritchie, but if he can't really run anymore, and he did appear to be laboring against the Jets, than he is probably done.
I agree with pretty much everyone else in that Mahe should not be here.
I'm more bothered Mahe (and to a lesser extent Sims - really didn't see them cutting him no matter how much he sucks) made the team... AGAIN! Get rid of that guy already. What's he going to do, return punts all year and nothing else? Guy's a thief and he's stealing a paycheck!
I know that Ritchie hasn't been his old self but for me it's still a shot to the gut to read that he's been cut. I felt the same way when we said goodbye to Kevin Turner, too-deja vu all over again. :(
My thing is I'm ok with Ritchie gone if he's done, but I don't like Parry either. Any other FBs out there to get? Doubt it.

I don't think anybody likes Parry, he's just the only option since Ritchie's too hurt to help the team.
anybody surprised sciullo was cut? that leaves them with a lot of inexperienced guys backing up the OL.
I kinda expected it. He hasn't played very well.
Quote from: mhunt on September 03, 2005, 06:19:06 PM

Not really. Experienced guys that suck don't help much either. :P
Sciullo played flat-footed. The guy was ok in pass protection, but getting a push off the line seemed to be an issue.
well, i will miss sciullo. :'(
not really...i was just throwing his name out there since he actually got some PT last season. :P
Funny, I was just outside saying to the wife that I had a sneaking suspicion that Hugh would be cut. They have a lot of talent on that line, he pretty much disappeared, even with the second-stringers, and his short contract assured minimal cap hit.
I really like the guy, and it's a shame that it came down to that. But that's what the NFL does.
I'm surprised Thornburg made it, I was pulling for him, but I think we have like 4 free safeties now, 3 on the active roster. But I couldn't see Ritchie and Douglas getting cut. I guess they cut Hugh because they were worried about TO's face.

Agreed 100%
I suppose in regards to Hugh's veteran leadership they just figured they had enough of that on the defense already with guys like Dawk and Trott. I'm really sad to see him go. I wonder if he's going to sign elsewhere or hang 'em up for good?
He's going back to Jacksonville.
He'll probably hang around, stay in shape and do some TV work. The Eagles will have the usual pack of injuries to the defensive line, and they'll resign him.
If not, he can always crack jokes with Freddie at the unemplyoment line.
Best thing about Reno making the team is I don't have to change my sponsorship. :paranoid
Jacked that Bruce Perry made it. We're gonna have one small ass backfield though.
This way we don't have to worr about our power back getting hurt.
Huuuuuugh! :'(
Sad to see him leave.
I'm not sold on Parry. I think he's still looking for someone to block...but I'll wait and see on that.
Team Thornburg thanks you all for your support, and we look forward to a productive stint on the active roster.
C
Wouldn't suprise me if someone is brought back after week one to negate the guaranteed salary.
I desperately need to know what the farg does Mahe, McMullen, and Simoneau do to stay on this freakin team! Everyone knows Detmer is here only because he can hold a football for Akers; he needs to give Akers 80% of his salary and kiss his lucky arse that he's had it good for so long. I had a small feeling about Hugh, but I didn't want to admit it, especially the way he was about to throw down on TO. Very surprised about Ritchie, but he will find another team.
Hahaha... a Q&A to/from Dave on the EMB:
"Dave, do you still think Hugh will get 8 sacks?"
"I would say that's extremely doubtful."
Not surprising that we'd go for young blood instead of Hugh. In fact, RDE, the biggest weakest of our team, has a whole new look. Last year:
Hugh: 3 sacks
Burgess: 2.5 sacks
McDougle: 2 sacks (which I believe came as a LDE)
Green: 1 sack
Playing opposite the Freak, this is unacceptable. Kalu, Cole, or even Juqua should do better than that on his own. Hell, scrubby Kenny Holmes did better than this.
I'm glad Thornburg made the team. He's been a good story all summer. I'm hoping for some good things from Juqua this year. The D should be scary.

Pasquerelli lists Marshall and Ma. Patterson as intriguing cuts. Some national ink might help them land jobs elsewhere:
QuoteDT Keyonta Marshall and LB Martin Patterson, Philadelphia (both rookies): It's likely the Eagles will re-sign both youngsters to the practice squad if they are not claimed by other teams. Marshall was a seventh-round choice from Grand Valley State, a dominant player versus the run at the Division II level who has some tools and size (6-feet-1, 325 pounds). He played well for Philadelphia in camp and the preseason, but lost out in the "numbers" game, because the Eagles are so deep at the position. An undrafted free agent, Patterson tailed off over the last two weeks, but is a youngster worth considering. Like Marshall, he was a victim of the Eagles' depth. A three-year starter at TCU, Patterson sure passes the "eyeball" test.
I hope the Skins don't get hip to Keyonta, they have shtein at DT, and Keyonta may turn into a terror, and......I farging hate the Skins.
I do miss Hugh. One of my all-time favorite Eagles.
No Hugh. No Ike. No Ritchie. No Chad. :-\
Farg Mahe.
Hollis is gonna have to step it up with the post game quotes to make up for no Hugh.

Me either. He drops balls in the open. He fumbles when no one is around. He didn't block a Raven LB (not Ray Ray) when they called the qb sneak and that LB made McNabb fumble ( I know...Nabby's fault too). He looked OK this preseason...but I remember when Ritchie went out with is ACL and they brought Parry in...I thought, OK...he was OK in preseason. Then he sucked it up. Hopefully he can improve over last year.
*Note: was last year his first full year playing FB? I know he was LB before that.
On another note...Eckel didn't have a bad pre-season...he got cut from the Pats. Wish the Birds would give him a look. Let him compete vs Parry next year.

It's academic anyhow. The Fish put Eckel on their active roster. I don't think we were willing to do the same.

I was hoping for Bergen too.
He might be the starter in Arizona this week...
Anyone else worried that we really only have 2 backup OGs, neither of whom is proven in the NFL?? I mean I guess Armstrong or Herremans could move inside temporarily if needed, but still...I'm worried about our OL depth.
Parry sucks.
Gras sucks.
Those are my two gripes.
Not having Ritchie to lead block for Westbrook is a bad farging idea if Parry is the alternative.

Parry's blocking isn't really what concerns me. I thought that as the year went on last season, he progressed each weak. Although I still don't think he's as good as Ritchie, his blocking is far from my concern. My concern is his ability (or lack there of) to take the occasional hand off and pick a few yards or pound it in the endzone or receive the occasional dump pass. Ritchie's recieving skills I think are what's going to be missed the most.
More screens to Westbrook, I s'pose.
Wait, what about that guy from Washington. Surely he knows how to run a three yard route.
Live long and play some fullback:
QuoteSpeaking of fullback, rookie free agent Stephen Spach is primarily focused on the tight end position while toiling at fullback, too.
"We utilized him there during training camp," Reid said. "We need to make sure that most of his concentration is on the tight end spot. But he is a guy that we could use at fullback."
Great. Just what the Eagles and this board need... our very own H-back to inspire skins fans to come out of the woodwork and fellate Gibbs some more.
I was just chewing back that same vomit.
A nice birthday gift for Ritchie - ouch
A big ol' article on Thornburg's weekend (http://philadelphia.comcastsportsnet.com/view_content_0p.asp?ID=14912)
QuoteHe has to find a place to live and a means of transportation. He will spend the night at the apartment of fellow rookie safety Sean Considine.
"I'm homeless right now. I just checked out of my hotel. I have no car," Thornburg said. "Got to move the wife up. It's crazy."
His wife is an accountant for Northern Arizona.
"She's stressing out a lot," Thornburg said. "My job security isn't 100 percent."
I see Merrill, Mike and HUGH in the near future...
Jon Ritchie was having difficulties running and driving off the knee so I'm not surprised they cut him, sad but not surprised. We will miss Hugh's leadership in the locker room. I often wonder why teams don't give vets like Hugh a chance to be a coach of some sort to keep the leadership there.
Glad to see Perry get picked for the PS. If they can cure the fumbles he could be a good one. Lamar Gorgon instead of Levens is also interesting. We'll see how thisd minor drama plays out.
good article on Thornburg, thanks Ed.

Bengals | Ritchie Coming for a Workout
Fri, 9 Sep 2005 05:40:39 -0700
Jerry McDonald, of InsideBayArea.com, reports free agent FB Jon Ritchie (Eagles) said he is flying to Cincinnati Monday, Sept. 12, for a workout with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Quote from: PhillyGirl on September 09, 2005, 03:17:32 PM
Speaking of Ritchie:
QuoteRitchie goes grunge
Former Raiders fullback Jon Ritchie lost his job with the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. It didn't take long for him to find a new gig. Literally.
Ritchie was at Thursday's game as an invited guest of East Bay band Green Day, passing time between NFL stops touring the East Coast by bus with the popular rockers.
Green Day performed before the game, watched the game from a private suite and then left for its next stop, in Hartford, Conn. From there, Ritchie said, he is off to Cincinnati for a tryout with the Bengals.
"I don't know about (wearing) orange," Ritchie said, always known for his introspective takes on life and football, as well as his hard-nosed style of play.
Ritchie played for the Raiders from 1998-2002. He spent the past two seasons with the Eagles before he was "blindsided" by Philadelphia's last-minute decision to go with younger players at fullback.
Ritchie said he passes the time jamming on guitar with Green Day and even wrote a song that one day might find its way into a Green Day concert.
"Those guys are virtuosos," Ritchie said.
Ritchie said he loves his current gig but "would love to play for the Raiders" again. His wife hails from San Francisco and most of his close friends still live in the Bay Area. He attended Stanford.
;)

I'm sure that's what the Eagles did. They CUT the better performing player. Good call.

I think they should've kept Ritchie. It's not like they use the FB so much that it would be a big difference, but I prefer Ritchie. Parry certainly didn't impress me last year. The missed blocks and dropped passes after tripping over blades of grass weren't good either.
I just hope Parry is ready to open some holes like Ritchie could.

Phreak, Reid loved Ritchie as well....he was there all season helping out on the sidelines and such. But how can you possibly DOUBT a move that was pretty obviously the right one? Keep Ritchie and 3 games into the season, we see just how slow he really is on that bad knee.
Ritchie in his prime > Parry
Parry is his prime > Ritchie now
I'm just not a Parry fan, that's all. What I saw from last year underwhelmed me. I'm being dead serious when I say this - but I would prefer to see Cecil Martin brought back than have Josh Parry here. ;)

I love squirrel fisting. lol
I'm willing to give Parry some benefit of the doubt and think that last year, being his first real season at FB, will be better this year than last year.
I sure hope so. I'm rooting for him because he's here and he's vital to the success of the running game and in pass blocking and on the occasion they throw him a bone. But I don't want to see the rumblin-bumblin-stumblin-drop the ball after two yards in the flat where no defender is around him.
We shall see. :P
Phreak, I'm in no ways saying that Parry WILL be that great or anything. Don't get me wrong here.
But to say they should have kept Ritchie is something I didn't think YOU'D say! lol. The guy had nothing left from what the coaching staff said. I tend to believe what they see on a daily basis over what we saw in bits and pieces on TV during preseason games. If they say he just couldn't run in the end, I have to believe that is the case. The guy was a hell of a FB before the injury. And he might still be in a year or so, but this is a Super Bowl year for the Eagles. What else would they do? What other FB would you have thought to have come in here other than Parry or Ritchie? One who would know this system and be able to jump right in?
Realistically, so don't throw Cecil at me. LOL

the avatar/signature curse doesn't pertain to fictional people. only real ones :evil
I sound like a Gibbs ball gobbler here, but why don't we trust Andy? Doesn't he seem to always make the correct personal decisions? I'm sure Parry was the best option they had, and that they are confident he can do the job. Same goes with Hugh, he probably sucked ass.
Thrash and Pinkston were not the correct decisions. Simoneau and Blaine Bishop were not the correct decisions. He'd has a pretty good track record, but let's not pretend he's perfect.
Yea but he tends to correct his mistakes (Simoneu not starting, Bishop cut, eventually bringing TO in here). He's not perfect, but he's pretty good.
All I know is I have zero expectations for Parry, and I don't expect Westbrook to run for more than 700 yards this year.
It won't matter when TO and McNabb kick the crap out of each other on the sideline.
Put in McMahon!
Parry = more 3-wr sets = passing 70% of the time.
Makes perfect sense when you look at it from Big Red's perspective.
Like he didn't pass 70% of the time from two back sets.
It was 66%. 2 out of 3 just isn't enough passing. >:D
The way Spudz claims how Parry will only see less than 10% of the plays (which I guestimate will be about 7 plays a game), I think Spach/R.Brown see more field time.
I have no problems with them keeping Parry off the field because he blows. My only gripe is he limits what they can do because he blows.
I don't even see why we are griping so much about the fullback position.
We always seem to have a singleback set with 3 wide. Rarely ever do we line up two back. I'm not concerned with someone who really doesn't factor in too much to our overall gameplan. They kept Parry because he can block every once in a while and maybe catch a bone. He's not intergral to this offense in order for it to run smoothly. I pretty much consider him a backup and I bet we won't even open up with him in the backfield on Monday.
Parry can run and hold up for a season, unfortunately Jon can't. At this jecture I percieve it as a wash.

Blindsided?
What a crock of shtein.

I think that's what you call it when you outperform another player but still get cut.
Thanks for the input, Jon.
BTW: Your queer little band sucks ass.
I guess you have never heard of Deep Release then...

I'm sure that's what the Eagles did. They CUT the better performing player. Good call.
::)
Did you spend any time at camp this summer? Did you watch the preseason games? Tell me how exactly did Parry outperform Ritchie? I didn't see it. Ritchie is a vet and reliable fullback. He's a great instinctive blocker. Parry simply lacks that inate instinct.

Parry's related to IGY?
Bring back Stanley Pritchett!
;D

Yeah, let's see how good of a blocker he really is. After all, the reason he's on the team is because he does all the "little" things well (like blocking), right? Ha.

Mungro tore us a new one about 3 years ago...That was an ugly farging game.
From Dave:
QuoteAll Reno did was cover kicks and block on the KO return, which he did not do well.
I noticed this too... Reno was awful, even on special teams. You have to figure he won't make it through the season.
He was his usual self. Burns me to see him active over Moats, really.
