Good thing our depth at RB is stellar.  C-Buck's still healthy, so I expect big things from him.  Go Birds.

I know someone who will take your tickets from you since you're so excited about the season. lol

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

All 4 that I have for the Titans game?

I'm very excited, and will always be excited, for Eagles football.  I just don't think we should overestimate what this team is likely to accomplish.

reid will be on with howard shortly (as will mcnabb)...hopefully more on moats then

[The BIGSTUD]

I'm pretty sure it was heat exhaustion for Moats. Maybe not.

Eagles | McDougle having good camp
Wed, 26 Jul 2006 12:51:55 -0700

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said DE Jerome McDougle is having a good camp and is ready to play. Johnson added that McDougle, who is 10 pounds lighter, looks quicker and stronger. McDougle could push LB/DE Trent Cole for the starting defensive end position in the nickel package.

Eagles | Considine improving in development
Wed, 26 Jul 2006 12:52:31 -0700

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said S Sean Considine has been improving, especially since coming off a shoulder injury last season. "We always knew he was an intelligent football player," said Johnson. "You are going to see him a lot in nickel situations also. He's letting us do some things with (FS) Brian Dawkins sometimes, playing in a different position, a nickel sometimes. So you are going to see him on the field quite a bit as long as he's healthy.

Eagles | Barber leaves practice
Wed, 26 Jul 2006 12:52:47 -0700

Philadelphia Eagles LB Shawn Barber (cramp) left the team's morning practice Wednesday, July 26, due to a cramp, according to Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson. Barber is expected to return for the afternoon practice.

Eagles | Ramsey benefiting from extra reps
Wed, 26 Jul 2006 12:54:26 -0700

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said rookie DT LaJuan Ramsey has benefited by getting extra repetitions in practice since rookie DT Brodrick Bunkley remains unsigned. "He's going to get a lot of opportunities and we like him so far," said Johnson. "So we will see how it goes in the preseason."

Eagles | Simoneau could work at OLB spot
Wed, 26 Jul 2006 12:55:02 -0700

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said there is a possibility that LB Mark Simoneau could work at outside linebacker, but added that Simoneau has different roles in certain packages. "Mark is one of our most versatile linebackers and he could go inside as a (middle linebacker) of course, but also outside (at the weak-side or strong-side position). But, we will see. We are going to see how Matt does. We are going to give him an opportunity and I think he's got to produce."

Andy is on with Eskin right now.

at least you're certian

[ice grillin you]

no mention of moats...at least i didnt hear it

sounds like a non issue

andy did say he was not worried about pinkston at all re: the achillies that they were just being cautious

[jeffreyjpa]

Andy says:

• Bunkley doesn't want to talk with Reid, Andy has tried to reach him. Wants everything done through his agent. Reid is disappointed with that.
• Reid hasn't read Owens' book, doesn't care what he's said.
• Eskin asks if he's looking forward to playing the Cowboys on Oct 8th, Andy says "We're always ready to play the Cowboys."
• Reid asked Eskin if he could beat up Cataldi, since Cataldi/Eskin don't get along.    (he was saying this to avoid more of Eskin's Owens questions)

Interview was mostly fluff, no new information except for the Bunkley stuff. That part is not encouraging, sounds worse than what I'd heard...but, explains why Reid has been taking some pokes at Bunkley's agent in the media the past few days.

I got the same impression as IGY about Pinkston, and also noticed he said nothing about Moats or Rayburn.

Donovan is coming up shortly.

[ice grillin you]

lolol

some cat just called howard out for being on andys balls...said that the interview was fluff reid was his butt boy and that it just wasted 20 minutes of every wip listeners life

[jeffreyjpa]

I was saying to Phreak yesterday, the problem with guys like Eskin and Eckel are that they become enamored with guys in sports who are friendly with them, and then will never criticize them (e.g., Barkley, Schmidt, Troy Vincent, Bobby Taylor, Corey Simon, etc.). Conversley (at least with Eskin), if a guy is personally a jerk to him, he will bad-mouth them forever to anyone who will listen.

Eskin did try to ask Reid some more difficult questions, and Andy was just kind of evasive and blowing him off by cracking jokes. Then again, most of Eskin's "harder questions" were regarding Owens...and, quite frankly, everyone--players, coaches, and fans--are tired of the media asking about Owens, so Reid evaded the questions by changing the subject, and eventually just flatly asked Eskin in a half-bored tone, "Are we done?"

it just wasted 20 minutes of every wip listeners life

whats that? like half a rusty penny?
