PE.com reports Lito won't be able to go for the Giants game but at least it isn't a high ankle sprain. It says they will consider a roster move. With no DB on the practice squad, do they try to go and get someone or stick with Brown, Hood and Hanson? I know Wynn and Matt Ware were picked up. Get Donald Strickland back?
Bruce Perry.

Yes, he'll be the one cut when they add a replacement for Lito.
Bobby Taylor should be well rested.

matt...what the farg is that.
The Eagles need to draft a corner on day 1 next year. Hood would probably get good money and there's no reason for the Eagles to tie up $15M among 3 corners.

They can't count on Lito. There's PLENTY of reason for them to "tie up" that money.
The cap is seriously not constrictive anymore. They can keep Hood with ease.
Should've been Strickland.
Who gets cut?
If they cut Perry then Hood has to return kicks (unless they let Moats do it. Or Lewis)
If they cut Mahe it's one less person for the fans to hate on. And then Wynn takes his circus back there to look foolish trying to return punts.
why cant westbrook return punts...i dont get it
the PR thing shouldnt even be an issue
I hope it's Trotter.
They will cut Perry. He stinks.
Hanson?

They can't PUP anyone who's practiced or played at all since the start of training camp. Nice try.
how is moats worse than perry? moats...might be raw and have fumbling problems but those can be corrected. he has shown he can run and break a big one. perry has shown he can run straight with his head down and then get knocked down.

He's not worse than Perry. Perry doesn't even have one NFL TD yet. He hasn't done nearly as much as Moats, and Moats hasn't done much either.

I know that they can't go on the PUP if they start TC on the active roster, but does it change once the regular season starts and they suffer an injury?
No.

You just answered your own question.
OK, well then cut Lito. 8)
and fire Randy Brown, and Andy Reid for that matter who told Randy Brown that they would PUP Pinkston if he couldn't play.
Cut Bunkley78.
Maybe some hidden meaning to the Wynn signing? Maybe they took him over Strickland because he's going to return punts next week?
And/or kickoffs.
We've been trying to trade him, but the Eagles are only offering Moats. Frankly, we're offended by that offer.
Can we IR him, so he can't post with the rest of us?
Injure him, then we'll see.
Get Izell Jenkins!
QuoteSome NFL people believe Hood is a better cornerback than Sheppard, who went to the Pro Bowl two years ago. Hood certainly has a lot of confidence and some impressive work to back it up.
According to Pro Football Prospectus 2006, Hood was the third-best cornerback in the NFL last season at stopping pass plays that were targeted in his direction. Teammate Sheldon Brown ranked fourth and Sheppard was 79th. The same publication listed Hood as allowing the fewest amount of yards on passes thrown his way, with a 4.9-yard average. Sheppard ranked 81st in the league with a 10.4-yard average.
Complete article: http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/football/15495889.htm
Frankly, I do have more confidence in Hood than Sheppard, but this hurts the nickel and dime defenses significantly.
Les Bowen is reporting that Lito could miss 4-6 weeks... :-\
If Hoods better then this is a good thing maybe?
absolutely not...
because lito and hood are both>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>joselio hanson
and if hood was that much better than lito dont you think jj would be starting him

It doesnt matter, if Hood gets offered $5M a year to be the nickelback here, he'll probably either...
A) Sign for a bit less and start somewhere else
B) Get a hell of a lot more. Brian Williams got a huge contract.
Im just saying Eagles could draft a corner high who could do as well as Hood and be more cost effective. The chances of the corner being as good as Hood is now is slim to none, but you cant have your way every time.
It really has to make you think why Hood has become such a good player while 2 cb's who were actually drafted were cut. Was it the coaching when Hood came in, or dedication by the individual player.
Then they should demote Lito to nickel and make Hood a starter. Lito is a great playmaker, but he's not a reliable player, and that's not just factoring in his injuries.
Seriously.

The only reason I can come up with was that Hood played at Auburn with studs everywhere and great coaching. Wynn went to Colorado St, and Ware came out of the powerhouse-player-producing UCLA which has turned out studs such as Cade McNown and Freddie Mitchell.

Thats what BMitch did. Got the ball and went straight up field

Wrong. Wrong.
Wrong.
Mitchell made it look that easy but in reality had about 25 times the field vision that Perry has.
BMitch was a straight line runner. I'm not comparing the two players at all. I'm comparing their running style. They both took the ball and got up field. No dancing. No cutting back. North - South.
BMitch could set up his blockers better though, obviously.
Mitchell had patience and vision as a returner. Perry has neither. It's that simple.
B Mitch was also running in quick sand, so it's a shame Perry wasn't as savvy as Mitchell.

A corner who's strength is covering? He won't go very far in the NFL with that approach.
Only covering receivers, though. Put him on a back or a tight end, and we're farged.

Eagles opponents finding out Hood is more than a nickel and dime player
By GEOFF MOSHER, The News Journal
Posted Thursday, September 14, 2006
Cornerback Rod Hood tackles the Rams' Torry Holt last season in the Eagles' 17-16 win on Dec. 18. Hood went head to head with some of the league's top wideouts last year when Lito Sheppard suffered an ankle sprain and missed the last six games of the season.

PHILADELPHIA -- Rod Hood insists his only concern is game day, not payday.
He has until March to worry about that.
That's when the Eagles cornerback becomes an unrestricted free agent, which should be a busy time period for Hood, who recently jumped into a starting role when Lito Sheppard went down with a sprained ankle.
Sheppard is expected to miss four to six weeks. That should be enough time for the rest of the league to get a good look at Hood.
Not that Hood is consumed with thoughts of future paychecks.
"I don't get caught up in that," he said Wednesday. "I just go out there and play the game I've been playing my whole life. I enjoy it and just to get paid to play is great for me."
The Eagles know what Hood, a fourth-year pro from Auburn who signed with the Eagles as a rookie free agent, can do.
He went head to head with some of the league's top wideouts last season when Sheppard suffered an ankle sprain and missed the last six games.
Shadowed by Hood most of the game, Giants receiver Plaxico Burress caught just two passes for 37 yards in a Week 13 matchup. The Eagles play the Giants at Lincoln Financial Field at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Hood also held his own against Larry Fitzgerald and Santana Moss. In his first start, Hood picked off Brett Favre to secure an Eagles' 19-14 win over the Packers, snapping a four-game losing streak.
He made eight tackles and returned a punt 58 yards against St. Louis and picked off Mark Brunell in a near-upset of playoff-bound Washington in the final week of the regular season.
Hood finished with 41 tackles and three interceptions last season and became a restricted free agent.
"He ain't got to prove nothing to me," cornerback Sheldon Brown said. "He was a free agent who made the team. How did he not get drafted? When they throw the ball his way, he breaks up passes."
The Eagles offered him the highest tender for a restricted free agent and signed him to a one-year deal worth $1.579 million, meaning a team would have "They would have lost him otherwise," Hood's agent, George Mavrikes, said.
Already, the buzz about Hood is out. In its recent NFL preview, Sports Illustrated named him the Eagles' breakout player.
Reid has often said the Eagles are blessed with three starting cornerbacks.
"It feels good, because people recognize that I could play the game and I'm not just a guy who comes in as a nickel cornerback, that I am a starter," Hood said. "But unfortunately I got two good guys in front of me. So I just live up to my expectations and go out there and play hard. I'm in that role now, so definitely I'm looking forward to that opportunity."
And the other opportunity -- the one down the road -- could be lucrative.
Cornerbacks cashed in during free agency this past off-season, with Green Bay luring All-Pro corner Charles Woodson with a seven-year deal worth $52 million.
Brian Williams, who only started nine games last season for Minnesota, jumped to Jacksonville for a six-year, $32 million deal.
If Reid considers Hood a starting corner, shouldn't Hood be paid like one?
"I would think they would have to," Mavrikes said. "Seeing how much some of the other corners who are not as good as Rod got, you would have to pay him like a starting corner."
Or the Eagles could let him walk and suffer the consequences. They let defensive end Derrick Burgess flee to Oakland for a five-year, $17.5 million deal after the 2004 season. Burgess led the league last season with 16 sacks.
But that's a decision for March.
"I know my role on this team," Hood said. "But in my heart I feel I'm a starter and I'm going to continue to try to play every rep like I'm a starter."
Different situation than Burgess. Although Burgess showed potential, Hood has shown the production. I hope the Eagles are able to sign him at the end of the year but Hood will probably be blown away by another team's offer.
I love Hood... but he's as good as gone after this season.
Yeah, he's out of here unless Lito has a lingering injury all year. Then I could see the team really working to keep Hood. Otherwise, he's walking and I wish him luck. He's been really solid for the Eagles over the years.
IMO, it doesn't have anything to do with Lito, other than he's the starting CB along with Brown. It has to do with the money. Like Hood says in the article. He knows he could be starting elsewhere in the league and he'll want to be paid like it. The Eagles already have Lito and Sheldon making "big" money so I can't see them giving Hood that same type of money to stay on as the nickel CB.
Quote"Seeing how much some of the other corners who are not as good as Rod got, you would have to pay him like a starting corner."
That's his agent talking.
If you use Brian Williams as a barometer... you're talking a contract in the area of $32 million. Hood will never see anything approaching that here with the Eagles.
I wonder how many snaps Hood plays as the nickel compared to, oh let's say Kearse, who gets rotated out to stay fresh. As much as nickelbacks play these days there's really no reason to not consider them starters.
Oh, I agree there... but I think it's a different story when it comes to the negotiation table, IMO. When it gets there... Hood's not a starter and what do you think the chances are the Eagles pay him as much as Lito and Sheldon?
Don't you think they're much more likely to say so long to Hood and look for a CB early in the draft or try to go down the UDFA road again with Hanson?
The draft seems like the option they'll go with. Still, the third corner being worth less than the first two is an idea the whole NFL needs to let go of.
Sheldon, wearing a Phillies jersey, recommends a Bobby Taylor signing. :sly
video (http://philadelphia.comcastsportsnet.com/media/video/eagles/091906-Sheldon.wmv)
Well, Bobby was in town on Monday. HIm, Sheldon, Akers and Runyan were at a fundraiser in Trenton.
Maybe Bobby told him to pimp him out for a job.
Honestly? Give him a workout. If his knee is healthy enough - sign him.
Defensive pass interference, number 21 :puke
I'll take PI over a TD any day.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. GET TAYLOR! Maybe. If he can run at all. Or something.
i wouldn't mind having him back as our 4th CB. at least he's over 5'10".
has it come to this....sign bobby taylor??? can't we make a trade...?
Sign Duce. Sign Emmons. Sign Taylor. Sign Vincent.
Get Thomas Hamner!
Mark McMillan. w00t w00t
Eric Allen still looks like he can run...
