Much more uplifting than the "cover" story on Chad Greenway

That was a good read. He's making every effort to get onto the field next year, and he's already an upgrade over Reno at both PR and KR.

Greenway tore his knee to shreds trying to bust a wedge open on a kickoff in a preseason game?

Super use of a #1 draft pick you just invested millions of dollars in. Super!

If that's true, then why isn't he on the field??

because his ankles arent in football shape

Diomedes · December 14, 2006, 09:27:42 AM

is that different than 'because he's not a football player'??

QuoteOn days when his Philadelphia Eagles teammates are practicing outside, Bloom retreats into "the bubble," the team's indoor training facility. He straps a digital recorder around his arm, puts headphones on, and listens to his own voice, reading an entry from the Eagles' playbook. Then, he runs a wide receiver's route, alone. He envisions the big bodies hurtling around him and visualizes the ball settling into his hands. "I think about what my job is on the play," he said.

Glad to hear he envisions things and all. That's nice.

Nice read. It'll be nice having him as a PR/KR next year.

I hope he doesn't take up fence jumping to replace the rush of skiing.

Devin who?

That's good he's working so hard, but the picture in the article isn't too flattering. I'd like to see him catch passes with his hands, not his chest.

Unless its a KR or PR, but he seems pretty low for it to be one of those.

ice grillin you · December 14, 2006, 05:02:08 PM

i think he has a shot to be a good kpr but id be surprised to see him ever contribute at wr...in fact if he turns out to be a valuable return man i wouldnt even try him at wr cause he will get broken up
