Nice one MDS.

Wonderful. I can barely contain my excitement.

Good KR. That's about it.

Didn't the Patriots draft him inordinately high? Now we're picking up other teams' draft mistakes too?

PhillyPhreak54 · March 08, 2007, 04:58:37 AM

Yep, 2nd round I believe.

Oh man, I hope he has like ten catches this year!

Agreed, I do like the signing. I just hope the FO thinks this gets them off the hook for resigning Donte.

This signing totally helps this team's AWFUL kick return game, and as someone said earlier, if Bloom doesn't work out they have their asses covered. Plus, with a little luck, one of the WR stiffs they have on the roster now will get kicked to the curb.

The Eagles actually upgraded the KR position here. Why are people complaining about this exactly?

the thing is tho there is no replacement for stallworth...unless they strike a miracle in the draft with a rookie wr who pulls a colston...but thats not gonna happen so lets address other weak spots on the team and this does that at KR

The assumption is that he is somehow replacing Stallworth, which I don't think is the case.

I agree with you Rome...this upgraded the KR position and is a smart move, but I wonder what this means for Bloom?

ice grillin you · March 08, 2007, 08:29:33 AM

it means nothing for bloom...bloom has always had a small chance of ever contributing in the nfl...if he does turn into a player then thats great but you dont wait on him

Rome · March 08, 2007, 08:36:00 AM

I don't think this means anything for Bloom. Bloom is a longshot to make the team. If he makes it, great. If he doesn't then a guy like Johnson would be there to take up the slack.

I don't see any way the Eagles are looking at him to replace Donte Stallworth. How do you replace a legitimate #1 receiver with a guy who's nothing more than a #3 or #4 at best?

I think people have Donte on the brain and can't see past anything but that right now and frankly I'll be glad when he's either signed or gone. One way or another it's time to move on.

i would normally agree, but this is a team that brought it Charles Johnson and James Thrash thinking they could elevate to #1 recievers
