The Eagles offense is beginning to look like an emergency room and the season hasn't even started yet.

Not really. It's just Buck and Pinkston. And anyone who was counting on Buck to ever do anything for the team again needs to put down the glass dick and call their sponsor.

QuoteSEASON OVER FOR RB BUCKHALTER 




August 23, 2005
By DAVE SPADARO


The Eagles Wednesday announced that RB Correll Buckhalter underwent season-ending surgery on Tuesday, August 23, to repair a torn patellar tendon in his right knee. The surgery was performed by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Al. Buckhalter was injured in practice on August 5.
This is Buckhalter's second surgery to repair the patellar tendon in his right knee. He was originally injured during the second preseason game of 2004 vs. Baltimore on 8/20/04. He underwent surgery by Dr. Andrews six days later and was placed on the Injured Reserve list.

The fifth-year back suffered his injury during training camp. The injury was initially announced as a contusion of the knee. However, after a few days during which there was no apparent healing, the Eagles decided to have Buckhalter visit Dr. Andrews.


Correll Buckhalter and the Eagles await his test results 
After another couple of weeks of rehab, Buckhalter again visited Dr. Andrews on Monday for an evaluation.

Buckhalter tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the spring before the 2002 season and then bounced back with a strong 2003 campaign. He then suffered a torn patellar tendon injury during a preseason game last year against Baltimore and missed the entire season.

The Eagles signed Buckhalter two a two-year contract in March after he briefly tested free agency, and Buckhalter made solid strides in his return to the playing field.

But he suffered the injury on August 5 and hasn't played since and now, he'll face another season-long rehabilitation process.

And Jenkins. Which wouldn't be that bad of a loss if we didn't have a whiny unpredictable WR backed up by Carlos Perez and Robert Redd.

I'm going to print that picture and then spend all day at work coloring it.  I hope I stay in the lines.

Based on what I have seen from Moats, he looks like he is going to be a bad ass, but can anyone imagine him pounding the ball between the tackles? I would prefer a big short yardage back. Dare I say it, but the Skins drafted two big guys late in the draft that don't look horrible, and they can't hold on to all of them. Even if the guy doesn't come from the Dolphins, I really see the FO waiting for everyone to make their cuts and giving up zero to grab someone off the "wire".

If you watch Moats' highlights from LaTech you'll see that he has no trouble at all running betwen the tackles. Even Brad Childress sid that yesterday. He said that Moats will take it inside.

Just because he's 5'7/5'8 doesn't mean he cannot go inside, bro. He's got the leg drive, leverage and toughness to take it up in there.
