Predict the 53

[Drunkmasterflex]

I know it has been mentioned earlier but what does Philly do if Detmer is #3 for a holder?

What don't you understand with the Detmer as holder concept?

There are only two QBs that are active for gameday, so if Garcia is your backup where does that leave Koy?

[Diomedes]

How did they do it last year?  And the year before that?  Koy was the back up on game day so he could hold, but everyone understood that the third QB was the real backup.  McNabb goes down in a game, Koy plays QB for the rest of the game then resumes his holding role when the real back up comes in for the following game.

Jesus.

The third QB is listed as an 'emergency' QB. Meaning he can only enter the game if the first two guys have played.

So assuming McNabb gets hurt and the kicking team has been on the field at any point for a FG or EP, Koy has played and Garcia can come in.

[Diomedes]

Yeah, that's what I meant.

I thought that the backup actually had to take a snap under center.  What Dio said was what I was figuring, but I wasn't exactly sure if that was the plan this year.

Time to bring in:



As in Chang.

Right, but if McNabb is only out for a few plays and they bring in Garcia, then McNabb can't come back in the game until the 4th quarter.  Smrt guy.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I can't think of many things more unlikely than both Scott Young AND Trey Darilek making this team.

And there is no one on the team named Dahani.  Just like the Ravens didn't draft anyone with a name pronounced "NAH-GAH-TAH".

And Brandon Short was already signed by the Giants.  You think the Eagles are going to offer them something for a guy they could have easily had for months via free agency?

You smell.

[xtacy1238]

Jason Short. I did not mean to anger the football Lord. Sorry all mighty.

The reason that both Scott Young and Darelik will make the team in my Opion is. That Jamal Jackson will beat out Fraley and they will not keep his salery on the bench. So Fraley gets cut. And Darelik is the back up center if that happens. And Scott Young is a 5th from last year that has the speed and size just needs some time to learn.

What does your o-line sittuation look like? Mr al Mighty FFatPatt

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

My OL situation doesn't include Trey no-English Darilek or Scott BYU-special Young.

I already posted my much-smarter-than-yours 53.

[hbionic]

Obviously things will change with June 1st cuts but this is still fun to do.


QB: McNabb, Garcia, Chang
HB: Westbrook, Moats, Perry
FB: Tapeh
WR: Brown, Gaffney, Pinkston, Lewis, Avant, Bloom
TE: Smith, Schobel, Bartrum
OL: Thomas, Clarke, Jackson, Andrews, Runyan, Justice, Jean-Gilles, Herremans, Fraley, Darilek

DL: Kearse, Cole, Howard, McDougle, Patterson, Walker, Bunkley, Rayburn, Marshall
LB: Trotter, Jones, Barber, Gocong, McCoy, Gaither, Richmond
DB: Brown, Sheppard, Hood, Strickland, Ware, Dawkins, Lewis, Mikell, Considine

K/P: Akers, Johnson

When you look at the 53 man roster like this.....53 doesn't seem like a whole helluva lot.

[mikey418]

Here's Mine:

QB - McNabb, Garcia, Detmer
RB -  Westbrook, Moats Buckhalter, Perry
FB - Tapeh
WR - Brown, Gaffney, Pinkston, Lewis, Avant, McCants
TE - Smith, Schoebel, Bartrum
OL - Thomas, Justice, Jackson, Andrews, Runyan, Giles, Herremans, Clarke, Fraley
DL - Kearse, Howard, Cole, McDougle, Patterson, Bunkley, Walker, Rayburn
LB - Gocong, Trotter, Barber, McCoy, Sims, Short, Jones
CB - Brown, Sheppard, Hood, Strickland, Ware
S - Dawkins, Lewis, Mikkel, Considine
ST - Akers, Johnson, Bloom

I could see McCants not making it due to Bloom and another DT making the team (Jasper/Marshall).  I think Gaither/Ramsey will be on the PS.  I could see Dhani getting released if Gocong picks things up and performs or McKie may take a roster spot from someone at LB in camp.  I see them only keeping those 8 DL since Howard could move inside.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I still don't get the sheer number of people who expect Buckhalter to make the team.

[ice grillin you]

i wouldnt call it a lock but it would not be the least bit surprising if he made it over mahe as the last rb

i find more surprising the number of people who think they are going with three HB's
