McCants cut by the taterskins... any word out of Philly?

Personally, I think he will end up in Philly for several reasons.

- He was scouted by Philly coming out of college.

- The Eagles could always use another receiver behind TO.

- Darnerien would love to play us twice a year.

A few years ago while I was living down in DC (I think it was the last year of the Old Ball Coach experiment) McCants had a pretty productive season, a bunch of short yardage TDs, etc.

What's the concensus on him? Is he poopoo platter? Could he be productive here? Is he worth looking at? Answers people. I need answers.

I think he's a decent reciever but if he couldn't beat out the likes of James Thrash for a roster spot then I have to wonder how good he really is.

I wouldn't mind the Eagles taking a look at him.  Re: Thrash beat him out...I don't give the scouts and coaches over there any respect.  They couldn't tell a good reciever from a lump of shtein.

Like rjs, i was intrigued by him after the season he had for Spurrier. I liked that fact that he was a big target in the red-zone.

However, the knock on him is that he does not play STs and when he does he doesn't play them well. Hence the reason why James Thrash and Antonio Brown have beaten him out.

If he's going to be the 4th or 5th WR in Philadelphia (or any NFL team for that matter) he's got to play on the "teams".

We brought him in 2 or 3 years ago, don't remember if we weren't interested or the Skins offered more money.


He did a "Bachelor" type show down here and DC and he seems like a decent guy.  But he's one of those fancy-shmacy artictic dudes.  We have our quota filled with Dhani.

You're thinking of Derrius Thompson, bro.

he signed with Miami and thank god he did because he reeks. I don't think he's had over 20 catches down there.

We've brought in both him AND Derrius Thompson, or are you getting them confused?

[Diomedes]

The two were easy to confuse.  Both big, both promising at the same time.

Which is really odd, considering they've been known as a great passing team in recent years.

The ex-Skin connection of Rosenfels to Thompson makes my FFL team complete!

[phattymatty]

Oops, you guys are right, I did get them confused.

But McCants is the Bachelor atist fancy boy.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Maybe he can call up Freddie in KC and they can compare notes on how their experiences in daytime dating TV changed them...

Remember when Freddie did that blind date show on A&E or TLC or one of those networks? He took the chick to Six Flags.

I think he caught that late TD by the taterskins from Ramsey that almost tied the game up a couple years ago at the Linc when they missed that 2 point conversion. Pretty sure that was Mccants. I always thought he looked pretty good. From what I saw looked like a big body with good hands. I don't know if it was lightning in a bottle.

[General_Failure]

If Saint Gibbs couldn't find a use for him he can't be that good, right? Right?
