nope, your spreadsheet says it was the right move, tangibles be damned

My spreadsheet says that your vagina has the swine flu.

Some stuff about Demps and others that didn't really fit into another thread and I didn't feel like starting a new one.

Eagles Sunday Minicamp Report
Posted by Mike Florio on May 3, 2009, 10:26 a.m.

Here's the latest out of the Eagles' ongoing minicamp, one line at a time.  (Note that the lines without a link come from quotes circulated by the Eagles to members of the media — and to me.)

Defensive coordinator Jim Johnson seems to favor Quintin Demps at free safety, despite the acquisition of Sean Jones.

Johnson said that he views Jones as more of a strong safety.

Johnson also talked about his cancer diagnosis, which came after he began experiencing severe back pain during the team's 2008 playoff run.

And he has no intention of walking away from football.  "It's part of my life.  It keeps me going.  I don't feel any different coaching.  I'm coaching the same way."

S Quintin Demps acknowledged that his first-half hit on Cardinals QB Kurt Warner in the NFC title game, for which Demps was flagged and fined, was a "cheap shot."

For now, Demps is the kick returner and WR DeSean Jackson is the punt returner, but WR Jeremy Maclin is being considered for both jobs, and CB Ellis Hobbs could return kicks.

Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said that he'd like to see the team improve in the red zone.

The coaching staff might be trying to replace WR Reggie Brown's decreased reps with increased praise; "Another player who has done an outstanding job is Reggie Brown," Mornhinweg said.  "He is healthy.  It's good to see him healthy and running fast and catching the ball.  He's smooth. He was impressive [Friday], as well as [Saturday] morning."

Victor Abiamiri and Juqua Parker will be competing for the starting spot at left defensive end.

"That's going to be a good battle between those [two]," defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said in quotes circulated by the team. "I can't see right now who the starter is.  It might be Victor, it might be JP."

Said defensive coordinator Jim Johnson regarding rookie CB Macho Harris:  "I see a guy that has a good feel for the game.  The first couple of practices [I've seen he's got] a good feel for the game.  You look for things like that."

Johnson thinks S Quintin Mikell will be a Pro Bowl player soon.

Despite the acquisition of CB Ellis Hobbs, Johnson said that Sheldon Brown will still start, and that Joselio Hanson will still work the nickel.

Mornhinweg also spoke of the ongoing Kevin Kolb experiment: "He is still progressing.  He's done a good [job] in this camp so far.  He's very comfortable with all of his progression and, his reads, his drops, his footwork, all the things he needs to see.   His game management is typically very good.  The preseason games will be very important for him as well."

As opposed to those preferring a decline?

yeah, no shtein.  unless a team is has a 100% td percentage in the redzone.....which has probably never happened, then i think it's safe to say that coaches want to see improvement.

Apparently Demps has joined the herd of Rosenhaus clients.
