Eagles Notes
Dirk Johnson aggravated a strained groin in Sunday's 49-21 loss to the Denver Broncos, an injury that could shelve the Eagles punter for the rest of the season.
"It looks like it's pretty significant," coach Andy Reid said at his news conference yesterday at the NovaCare Complex. "We'll see how he does after he sees the doctor."
Johnson had an MRI yesterday and will be examined today by William Meyers, chairman of surgery at Drexel University. In July, he had surgery for a sports hernia and missed all of training camp and the preseason, but he returned in time for the season opener.
Veteran Sean Landeta filled in for Johnson in the final two preseason games, but he doesn't appear to be a likely candidate to replace Johnson. Reid would not expound on the Eagles' options if Johnson's injury proves season-ending.
"I'm going to hold judgment there until Dr. Meyers sees him," Reid said. "We'll let him be the judge there."
Through seven games, Johnson averaged 41.4 yards on 39 punts. Landeta, who played for the Eagles from 1999 to 2002, has a career average of 43.3 yards but hasn't played in an NFL game since Week 11 of last season with the St. Louis Rams.
paging towson alum sean..
I guess I'll hold off on ordering that Diggler jersey.
What's worse a suck ass kicker or a suck ass punter? Or Darnell Autry?
:boom :boom :boom
I don't know how anyone could be surprised by this news. Even "no news" Andy said it was serious.
I pretty much figured he was done after Reids press conference.
And down goes the team MVP.

Reno Mahe ??
With all the problems this team has, who gives a farg about the punter?
he's been punting like shtein anyway. later
this is like when the china cabinet tipped over as the titantic was going down
Punter, kicker, kick returner....Harbaugh must've pissed off the football gods.
reid just said Dirk's on IR. then something about a 6th round pick of the Rams.

Reggie Hodges, from Testicle Tech (Ball State)
can't say i will miss johnson's uncanny knack of a 25 yark shank jobs in 4th quarters.
damn 226
Our special teams suck donkey dilz.
What a difference a year makes...
tank the season and get leinert. mcnabb sucks.
Quote from: That lovely nfl.com article
Hodges, who also holds for field goals and placements...
Hmmmm :paranoid :deion
if they are trying to faze koy out, i will not stand for it. neckbeard is as essential to this team as the kicking tee jose cortez practices kicking balls out of bounds on.
C'mon, Sus. Let's not get our hopes up.
No one can hold balls like Koy. ;)
Hodges? We no need no stinkin' Hodges! :paranoid
black reggie punter #2 is bigger than among others brian dawkins....lamar gordon and kieth adams
btw....RRRIP
He was cut by the Rams and replaced by Bryan Barker.
So he likely sucks.
[sarcasm]I'm sure they have a good reason for not signing Landeta.[/sarcasm]
he's 90 and it's hard to punt while holding a cane
did they even being Landetta in to try out? It says Hodges beat out "Gabe Lindstrom, Mark Mariscal and Toby Gowin among others for the job."
lolol @ gabe lindstrom
i think he was mvp of the swedish elite league last year
why do people care about sean landeta so much?

Get off my nuts. It's old.
spew answered my question. Spew gets 1 point. Which ups his score to a solid negative 14,372.
not everyone can fix their own score
oh i get it! you post his pick because it freaks you out! good one!

I'm not sure. I haven't heard anything lately.
The Dirk fan club would like to thank you for all the warm get well wishes. Dirk will be back next year.
Bring in Randall to do the punting. I believe he still holds the all-time NFL record. Two-time All-American punter in college. The return teams would always have to be alert.
I'm just sayin'.
