This is getting nauseating.  It's a fricken pre-season football game.  One series against the Raiders, please.  Aaron Brooks striking fear in anyone?  No, didn't think so.  Good night.

This is getting nauseating.  It's a fricken pre-season football game.  One series against the Raiders, please.  Aaron Brooks striking fear in anyone?  No, didn't think so.  Good night.

That's because Brooks went 1-3 and a pick, while McNabb completed 100% of his passes.

Best damn 3 for 3 for 29 yards I've ever seen!!

EAGLES NOTEBOOK

PHILADELPHIA -- An Eagles running back sustained an injury Thursday night. Stop us if you've heard this one before.

Though the Eagles scored their first preseason win, a 20-7 triumph over the Cleveland Browns, Reno Mahe went down with a concussion on the opening drive. It wasn't clear on which play the injury occurred. Mahe did not return.

His departure left an already decimated backfield corps with just one true halfback, Marty Johnson, who signed Tuesday. Johnson led the team with 12 carries on 47 yards.

Fullbacks Thomas Tapeh and Jason Davis picked up plenty of carries in Mahe's absence. Tapeh rushed for 11 yards on five carries, including a 4-yard touchdown, and Davis ran 10 times for 32 yards.

Still, the Eagles are in dire straits at the position.

"I expect the other guys to be healthy," coach Andy Reid said.

Reid said Corell Buckhalter might play in next Thursday's preseason game against Baltimore. Buckhalter has been coming back slowly from knee surgeries the past two years.

Mahe had crept up the depth chart in the past two weeks as injuries to Ryan Moats, Bruce Perry and Brian Westbrook whittled the competition.

Rumor mill

According to scout.com, the Eagles and Browns are discussing a trade that would involve Browns running back William Green. The Browns are in the market for a center, having already lost prized free agent LeCharles Bentley for the season to a knee injury.

The Eagles have two centers, with Hank Fraley battling Delaware State product Jamaal Jackson, and are in need of a running back. Jackson's ankle was banged up during the game, but Reid didn't mention him in his list of postgame injuries.
Bunkley breaks through

First-round pick Brodrick Bunkley made his first appearance in the third quarter. On Cleveland's first third-down situation, the defensive tackle pressured quarterback Derek Anderson into an incompletion.

Kamerion Wimbley, Bunkley's teammate at Florida State and also a first-round pick, started at linebacker for the Browns.

"It was good talking to him," Wimbley said. "We were talking about what it's like seeing each other on different teams and how we look out there on the field."

Wing tips

•Koy Detmer was the holder on David Akers' 22-yard field goal in the first quarter. Against Oakland on Sunday, punter Dirk Johnson held for Akers. Johnson and Detmer are competing for the job.

•Darren Howard served as the long snapper for most of the game before rendering that job to Stephen Spach, but there isn't a competition there. Long snapper Mike Bartrum suffered acid reflux before the game, Reid said, and didn't play. Howard said he has long snapped since high school.

interesting and makes total sense...but i think thats why scout.com is mentioning it rather than the teams having ever discussed it

[Diomedes]

I'd rather have Suggs.

[Seabiscuit36]

I really wanted the Eagles to get Green coming out of college, i even had a William Green browns jersey.  Behind that O Line and w/the family problems he's never materialized.

[ice grillin you]

suggs is a walking injury....the last thing they need

green is also bigger.....suggs is more along the size of a westbrook
