off-season conditioning program

Defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley and linebacker Chris Gocong were among a number of second-year players and selected veterans on hand Monday as the team's off-season conditioning program officially got underway.

Good.

the article claims sheldon brown is best suited to be a nickel back? how about hes best suited to be not left alone on tall ass WRs while the rest of the team blitzes.

Actually, I think Sheldon said himself he plays best when covering the slot guy.

I think he's best suited as the FS for the next 7 years

He can hit..that's a fact.  He's sometimes not so great at wrapping up.  Sounds like a FS to me.

so with Brown and Mickell both "recommended" as safeties, it's even more likely we go cornerback on draft day 1.

Comcast Sportsnet has us taking Anthony Spencer from Purdue in the first round.

26. Philadelphia: Anthony Spencer, DE/LB, Purdue, 6-3/260
Although the Birds have needs at linebacker and safety, they can always use another pure pass-rusher. Jevon Kearse turns 31 in September and is returning from a knee injury. Darren Howard is coming off a mediocre 2006. The Eagles can't rely on just Trent Cole and Juqua Thomas to pressure the QB. Spencer was athletic enough to play both end and linebacker for Purdue. Someone with that kind of versatility could be utilized by Jim Johnson.

He's a hybrid LB/DE.  Swear to farging God.

well whatya know!  As I asked in the "College Players Eagles Are Interested In" thread:

What does anyone know about Anthony Spencer DE from Purdue?  I remember when Purdue was out here in November and Hawaii was constantly double teaming the guy.  I had never heard of him until the Boilermakers played here but the local radio broadcasters said the Warriors were scared shteinless of this guy.

i can see the "sheldon sucks at corner" seeds already being planted...a small wave at first it will turn into a tsunami by the time training camp rolls around

the guy is a good cb...its hard to find quality nfl cb's and you dont move one of them to safety just because some article said so

will he one day in the latter part of his career be a better safety?...perhaps...but right now that would be an assinine move

[Seabiscuit36]

We dont have anyone to backfill the CB spot so it doesnt make sense.  If they did grab a FA stud CB it would make sense though.  People forget Sheldon has been injured the past 2 seasons and doesnt whine about his injuries affecting his play, he just goes out there.

I could see him finishing up his career somewhere playing safety.

[ice grillin you]

i could too but im saying right now it would be retarded to move him to safety...yet im starting to hear and read rumblings about it and its actually gaining a foothold amongst eagle fans and its gonna get to the point where sheldon is overscruitinized

[General_Failure]

What we need is more Trotter scrutiny. Why is he still on the team?
