Good test for the CB's

[MURP]

Sheldon is still questionable for the game against AZ.  If he doesnt start, Hood and Strickland will have the job of covering Fitzgerald and Boldin.   If there was ever a test to see if these 2 can step it up this is it.   If the Dline cant get any pressure in this one it could get ugly.

good thing that Boldin's on my fantasy team

[rjs246]

We're going to lose to goddamned Cardinals. Ugh.

[ice grillin you]

theres not enough pressure in the world to help those corners this week...you can only hope that mcown is off

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

you can only hope that mcown is off

or that the front 7 actually gets some pressure on him...

HA HA!! Like that will happen!

Glad i picked up McCown this week.  I think he's a safe bet to outperform Hasselbeck.

This strickland fella was a 3rd rounder, he may be a player.  Hood could also be auditioning for a job somewhere else, trade bait possibly.

Well, BOTH of them are RFAs after the season. The Eagles could offer Strickland the minimum and if someone offered him a contract and the Eagles decided not to match, the Eagles would get that team's 3rd round pick, since he was originally a 3rd rounder in 2003--Hood is a little trickier. If the Eagles want to trade him, they would have to offer him the middle tender--because he was a UDFA--he wouldn't garner them a draft pick if they offered him the bottom level tender and some team gave him an offer the Eagles wouldn't match.

I thought strickland was an RFA next season, thanks for the info!

Hood is tricky though.  I just learned about the UDFA not getting compensation at the minimum offer last week.  Interesting stuff there.

To hell with that.  You need three quality corners.  Hood stays.

[General_Failure]

So we'll still need one more.

[Diomedes]

Or two.  Depends on your Lito perspective.

[MadMarchHare]

Or your definition of "quality".

If that was a test, the secondary is going to summer school.

Summer School was just on television today.
