QuoteEagles | Perry to return kickoffs
Mon, 15 May 2006 09:56:09 -0700

Bob Brookover, of the Philadelphia Daily News, reports Philadelphia Eagles special-teams coach John Harbaugh said RB Bruce Perry is at the top of the depth chart as the kickoff returner.

Harbaugh's comments, at this point, are unsurprising and uninteresting.  He's simply saying that they're going to go with the depth chart from the end of last season as a starting point.  Still a lot of time for those guys to get unseated.

the funny thing is when the opposing team punts, I get up off my my chair, start heading towards the kitchen for beer and snacks, and just do a quick glance back to see if Mahe just caught the punt. Then I go back in the kitchen because its not worth watching after the catch.

Eagles | Gocong confident at linebacker
Mon, 15 May 2006 10:58:16 -0700

Reuben Frank, of phillyBurbs.com, reports Philadelphia Eagles LB Chris Gocong is excited to move from defensive end to linebacker. "It's just a matter of getting comfortable dropping back into coverage," Gocong said. "I've covered running backs out of the backfield, I just haven't dropped back. But I'm not that concerned about it. It's just a matter of learning the defense and what my responsibilities are. It'll take some time, but I'm confident I can do it. I knew whoever drafted me was probably going to make me a linebacker, so it was something I really started preparing for once the (college) season ended."


Eagles | Schobel could be used with Smith
Mon, 15 May 2006 10:53:40 -0700

The Associated Press reports Philadelphia Eagles TE Matt Schobel could end up in two tight-end sets with Philadelphia Eagles TE L.J. Smith. "They remind me of a couple of situations, (former Packer Mark) Chmura and Keith Jackson in Green Bay and Brent Jones and Greg Clark in San Francisco," Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said. "L.J. and Matt kind of remind me of that type of situation, where you can put some heat of the defense, putting them on the same side, splitting them out wide, or one tight and one in the slot. So, we can do a lot of things."


Eagles | Bloom a potential kick returner
Mon, 15 May 2006 10:26:13 -0700

The Associated Press reports Philadelphia Eagles WR Jeremy Bloom might return kicks. "I think Jeremy is fast enough. The main thing is that they hit north to south and that they explode through a crack," Philadelphia Eagles special-teams coach John Harbaugh said. "I think his change of direction and burst is being redeveloped. He has to get that back. ... To me it's exciting, because he runs a 4.49 coming right out of skis and you can see he does not have the ankle flexibility yet."

QuoteEagles | Akers limited in camp

Bob Brookover, of the Philadelphia Daily News, reports Philadelphia Eagles PK David Akers (hamstring) is still recovering from a hamstring injury and is limited in minicamp.

Special Teams could be the difference between the Eagles going 8-8 and 10-6 or 11-5 this year.  Not kidding.

A lot of uncertainty is out there in the kicking and return games right now.

Well if this offense struggles, and I don't think it will, good field position certainly wouldn't hurt.
Calling it right on the $ since day one.
Just pointing laughing, and living it up while watching the Miami Heat stink it up.

Akers is still hurting...don't like the sound of that, but it is still early. Here's to a healthy return ASAP :yay

We lost 5 games by a TD or less last year. A few TD returns by Bloom would make a tremendous difference.

I agree.  Akers, Neckbeard, Reed, Bloom, Perry, Mahe and Dirk Johnson... all have question marks of some kind surrounding them which is kind of worrysome.  A number of those guys play a huge part in determining if our ST's return to being one of the tops in the league or a liability like it was last year.  The good news surrounding the injuries though is that it's only May and they've got a good 4 months to get their shtein together before it really matters.

last night on DNL, Bowen said that coming out of mini-camp McCoy is penciled in as the WIL starter with Barber playing the middle on passing downs.
