Obviously the Minister is #1.  Do you have the list of the top 5? 

[BigEd76]

White = 124
Simmons = 76
Douglas = 54.5
Greg Brown (1981-86) = 50.5
Harmon = 39.5

Such a silly stat to look at. They didn't start keeping it until what, the 80s?

Eagles sign pornstar to roster:

The Eagles signed cornerback Stoney Woodson to the practice squad and released linebacker Jeremy Leman.
Woodson, 24, was originally drafted by the New York Giants in the seventh round in 2009 and saw action in two preseason games before being released on September 6. In those two games, he totaled five tackles and one interception.

Woodson (5-10, 198) played collegiately at South Carolina, where he amassed 109 tackles and seven interceptions during his four-year career.

Leman was signed during the first week of the season after he was cut by Carolina. The thinking at the time was that Leman might have been brought in because he was familiar with the Panthers, having spent the preseason with them, though the team denied this. The Eagles played the Panthers in Week 1. Last week, Leman, who preferred to go by "J," had to change locker stalls, so Jeremiah Trotter could reclaim his old spot. Turned out to be an omen.

McNabb gifted with dynamic WR duo

Maclin eager to pair with Jackson

By GEOFF MOSHER
The News Journal

PHILADELPHIA -- For years, Eagles fans begged coach Andy Reid to give Donovan McNabb just one wide receiver good enough to get the franchise over its Super Bowl hump.

Reid gave them Terrell Owens, but that relationship didn't last.

Now, it appears that Reid has delivered something they never imagined, something that only seemed to be solely for the fans of Arizona, Indianapolis and New England: two upper-echelon wide receivers.

Jeremy Maclin's 142-yard, two-touchdown effort against the Bucs on Sunday in his second start not only helped sink Tampa Bay 33-14, but also gave a potential glimpse into the future of the Eagles' offense.

The Cardinals have Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin; Tom Brady has Randy Moss and Wes Welker; and Peyton Manning made the Colts champions by connecting with Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison.

Could the tandem of Maclin and DeSean Jackson emerge as the face of the Eagles' offense and become one the NFL's most fearsome twosomes down the road?

"Why wait until the future?" asked Maclin, after scorching the Bucs' secondary for touchdowns of 51 and 40 yards. "Why not do it now?"

For the moment, Reid isn't ready to make any declarations about his receiving group. Maclin will start until Kevin Curtis' knee heals, and when that happens, Reid hasn't committed to anything else.

Curtis missed the past two games with knee inflammation, a nagging injury that he's been battling since training camp. On Monday, Reid said Curtis would be withheld from any physical activity for a few days as the team tries to get his knee settled.

Curtis is the team's last 1,000-yard receiver, which he accomplished in 2007, but the 31-year old wideout was usurped by Jackson as McNabb's preferred target last season and loses ground to Maclin with each game he doesn't play.

"I'm just trying to get him better right now," Reid said when asked about Curtis' grip on the starting job when he's ready to return. "I have to see how he does here."

But it's clear that Maclin, the All-American wideout from Missouri taken 19th overall in April's draft, is ready to pair with Jackson to compose the team's most prolific 1-2 punch since Reid became head coach in 1999.

The Bucs held Jackson to one reception, his lowest of the season, but only after Maclin had roasted them in single coverage.

Defenses, Maclin said, can't lock down one weapon without getting hurt.

"With the guys that we have, and the talented guys that we have, I think performances like this are going to rotate, just because you have so many different guys who make plays," he said.

The Eagles, under Reid, have had only one Pro Bowl receiver despite multiple attempts at giving McNabb the proper weaponry needed to execute the team's pass-heavy West Coast offense.

But years of poor draft picks -- Freddie Mitchell, Na Brown, Billy McMullen -- forced McNabb to carry the offense on his back.

He had his best set of receivers in their Super Bowl season of 2004 in Owens, a Pro Bowler, and deep threat Todd Pinkston, but running back Brian Westbrook became the offense's complement to Owens in the face of double teams.

After Owens was exiled in 2005 and Pinkston tore his Achilles, the Eagles were back to square one. They paired Curtis with Reggie Brown in 2006 and 2007, but Westbrook remained the team's top receiving weapon for a two-year span until Jackson, a second-round last year, led the team in receiving yards as a rookie.

Never has McNabb had this much playmaking ability and explosion in two wide receivers on the outside, to join up-and-coming tight end Brent Celek and Westbrook.

"Like I've said, there are going to be times where the offense hits a wall, or whatever may be," McNabb said, "but we know [with] the type of talent that we have, that with one play or maybe two plays we can get this thing rolling pretty much right where we want to go with it."

The potential of the Eagles' offense can't truly be judged until the Eagles get into the meat of their schedule. So far, they've feasted off three of the worst teams in football.

How they fare against the taterskins, Giants Cowboys, Chargers and Bears later this year will be a better barometer.

"DeSean had a tremendous rookie year and I think that's a nice goal for Jeremy to set," Reid said.

"And then DeSean has come out and been a good example to Jeremy on how to work and they kind of challenge each other. I think they have a good relationship. That's a positive thing that helps them better as they go on here."

It really is amazing how long it took to get WR's that aren't a complete joke.  Maclin was singled on some coverages last week, but his speed was impressive as always, his hands really surprised me, and his ability to move towards the ball.  He wasnt doing that early in the preseason/season. 

[ice grillin you]

i realize its a really slow sports day in philly but maclin has a great game against a usfl team and all of a sudden the writer is talkin boldin fitz moss welker??


pump. brakes.

[Seabiscuit36]

yeah, def not in that realm, and most likely never will be, but its nice when you think back of the Freddies/Pinkstons/both Browns, all who struggled to get one catch let alone 142 and 2 tds, no matter the opponent. 

[General_Failure]

They're what, a combined foot shorter than Boldin/Fitzgerald or Moss/Welker? They're leaps and bounds better than what McNabb's had to throw to, but I don't quite see either of them in the hall of fame just yet.

Agreed. You simply cannot ever, EVER compare these 2 to Fitzgerald and Boldin. Guys who beat down someone going for the ball. Physically superior in every way.

Who is Geoff Mosher and why does anyone here care about his analysis?

[Rome]

He's close, but not quite there.

BTW:  This I laughed at.
