He can have his pick of Corey Simon or T.O.

Why is Akers "worrisome"? Because he had an injury before? Um, ok.

Ugh.

Eagles | Akers limited in camp
Mon, 15 May 2006 10:00:41 -0700

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.

Worrisome.

If Reno beats out Perry, it'll be a crime.

If Reno BEATS OUT Bloom or Perry, there should be an investigation of the highest order!

Why? they are both unproven players. Reno is the reigning NFC punt return king!!!

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Worrisome.

Exactly.  He had his first severe injury last year, his kickoffs weren't as deep as they used to be, his range was compromised, and he was considerably less reliable.  We hope that he will come back to the Akers of old, but maybe he won't... and there is a similar issue with Dirk Johnson.

The kicking game is a big-time ? right now.

I read that, and I would have posted it... but while I find Peter King to be occasionally entertaining, I also think he's more often a clueless buffoon than not.  The reason I can stomach him is because I think he knows his niche and he doesn't try to pretend he's smarter and more knowledgable than he really is.

Dave Spadaro, of PhiladelphiaEagles.com, reports Philadelphia Eagles LB Jason Short, who is typically a special teams standout, is now learning to play at defensive end in order to contribute more on defense. "Learning a new position is tough, but I feel good learning it only because I know linebacker and it helps me out knowing what the D End is doing," said Short. "It's coming pretty easy to me. I just have to get it down a little more smoother. I have to fine tune it."

There's always room for a psycho like Jason Short on the team.
