Predict the 53

Give him a chance?  Where's the fun in that?  It's much cooler to insist he won't be shtein since he was undrafted.

actually i made no judgement on him until i saw him at camp and even then i didnt bury him i said he will not be able to get open in this league but could be an effective red zoner....but lets ignore what igy says because he doesnt blow the eagles and every move they make like they are a nintendo game

Hey, I'm not ignoring what you say. I'm just saying that let's wait and see on him. He could fizzle, he could be just a guy and contribute or he could turn into a real good player.

[Drunkmasterflex]

Ok. But he's certainly shown more than the average UDFA.

Give him a chance before you inscribe his headstone and bury the guy

IGY likes doing that before a guy takes a regular season snap.  I don't know what Baskett is going to be, but the Eagles must think rather highly of him considering he is listed ahead of Lewis, Gaffney, and Avant.  I know big deal, but the fact of the matter is the Eagles basically invested nothing in this guy, where as they did with these other guys.

[Feva]

Man why all of the hate towards Baskett?

its not hate....its reality

1. he wasnt drafted
2. someone traded him for billy mcmullen

just one of those and your nfl future is iffy....but both of them?...i hope hank got his degree

You're right... sounds like you're keeping your mind wide open when it comes to Baskett.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Hey, at least Baskett isn't white.  He might be some kind of oreo, though.

[ice grillin you]

i was obviously half joking with the mcmullen comment...hes somewhere in btwn having no future and being the next anquan boldin

but again why dont you quote the 17 other posts in the last month where ive said the same thing about him...ie his redzone potential cant get open ect...that wont happen tho cause its a legitmate comment but one that doesnt praise the guy as much as you guys would like...so instead you wait until i exaggerate his worthlessness in a joking manner and then quote it for the next two days as proof of my haterdom

[Drunkmasterflex]

Yeah because it is always so obvious when you are joking IGY.  I think he is now in the role he should be as a rookie a 3/4 receiver.  Personally I haven't seen enough of the guy to make any judgement on him.

His mom's white. Her and his father were interviewed during the one game.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Halle Berry's mom is white too.  So, it's safe to say that Baskett will mean to football what Berry's meant to film.

I guess that means he'll be overrated his whole career and make one outrageously-undeserved Pro Bowl.

[General_Failure]

He should go ahead and get that undeserved Pro Bowl season out of the way now.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I wonder if he'll have to get naked and make out with Billy Bob Thornton to get there.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Update:  Bloom, Jason Davis to IR.  Richmond, Clarke added to waived/injured list.

[The BIGSTUD]

Weird about Clarke. I thought he was a very good backup.

From San Diego Union-Tribune on Feeley being cut:

Whitehurst is 20-of-38 this summer for 166 yards, with no touchdowns, two interceptions and a 42.2 rating. Feeley actually had better numbers, completing 9-of-14 for 103 yards, one TD and a 110.1 rating. But most observers believed Whitehurst was more impressive in camp practices.

Poor Koy.  Timmy say hi to the practice squad.
