[PoopyfaceMcGee]

As far as I know, there are no plans to bring in another KR. Bloom will get a long look, but the team is also looking at other players in those roles. Buckhalter, for example, could get a shot returning kickoffs along with Greg Lewis and a few other guys. We already know the Eagles have other weapons at punt returner.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Dave should be banned from using the word weapons to describe slightly-above-average players life.

[Diomedes]

He's no worse than you bucko

I can't wait to get to Lehigh so I can feel up Spadaro's balls.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The fact that you believe that makes me smile a little bit, like I will when you inevitably commit suicide.

Why in the hell would you even attempt to put Buck back there, knowing damn well hes your only legit (I use that word with caution of course) back-up running back to Westbrook.

PR/KR are the riskiest positions/plays in football. Unless your elusive as Westbrook, you have no business being back there

Lewis--has no tackle breaking ability and is comparable to Mahe running with the football,  and Buck is just not right. That would be god-awful

[ice grillin you]

theres a good chance buck doesnt even make the team to insinuate he could win the KR job is just ludicrous

[Rome]

I usually don't come down on Dave because I understand what his function is (organizational lacky, mouthpiece... whatever) but that comment was awful.  And I told him so in that thread.

I personally don't see any room on the team for him now that Tony Hunt's been drafted and I think a backfield that consists of Westbrook, Moats & Hunt is better than whatever Buck still has left in the tank.  Regardless, Buck has about as much business running back kickoffs as my fat farging ass does.

It's absurd to even suggest it.  The Greg Lewis thing is so preposterous it doesn't even bear repeating.  Ever.

[rjs246]

Buck should have been off the team two years ago. But he wasn't and he won't miss the cut this year either. Andy Reid loves to keep his cheap injury-machines around as long as possible.

[ice grillin you]

normally id agree but like romey said the hunt factor changes the dynamic this year...if hunt learns the offense to the point of even being competant then i think buck is gone

[Feva]

Moats is outta here long before Buck.  He's the one that'll end up on the outside looking in.



Btw... not sure where to post this one so:
