Bethel Johnson, Philadelphia Eagle for 3 months

[SunMo]

i hope their hair is short because it's just now growing back from their various rounds of cancer treatment

[ice grillin you]

btw i looked it up hester had only 2 KR last season



Considering the only possibly viable KR specialist on the roster was Bloom, yes.

dumbest comment ever?...who cares show bad the guy he replaced was...the team is better for it...if reno had stayed the KR youd still be bitching....

they replace him with a burner...a guy that can take it to the house at anytime and you still arent happy...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I already said I'm happy about Johnson being added purely as a return specialist, but if the team is really hoping he'll contribute even a little bit on offense, I want to punch scrotums.

[ice grillin you]

of course he wont and if they try to pawn him off as such then ill be the first in line to murder them

false

Spadaro:

Bethel is here to compete on KR and to challenge at WR. One-year deal. Has to make the team. Very talented guy but hasn't put it all together. He and Bloom are competing at KR right now ...

[MDS]

So their lone free agent so far might not even make it past Lehigh.

16-0. Superbowl.

[Munson]

Everyone's looking at this as a shot at Bloom, but I seriously doubt it...It's the replacement for Mahe. Bloom is a PR type, but as a KR he's a little small and would get murdered on one of them vicious Sheldon Brown type hits. The likelyness of that happening on the PR's is less.

Bloom is making the team next year at PR.

i dont know whats more impressive your knowledge or the way you present it

[Eaglez]

What's the line on saying that if Stallworth doesn't sign the only thing he was good for was speed and the Eagles made up for that in signing Bethel?

I wouldn't be surprised if Spads says Bethel is tantamount to Stallworth because both can "stretch the field". Hopefully Johnson doesn't turn into Jabar Gaffney -- get cut and then re-surface later on in the season to have a great post-season.

I'm just lowering expectations so when I'm crushed later on this week it won't feel as bad.

Bloom is making the team next year at PR.

kind of like chad owens at Jacksonville last year.

[Munson]

With Bloom and Bethel Johnson on the roster, the return posistions are "set" and they won't freakin resign Reno Mahe. That's all I care about. That means we could be looking at Westbrook/??/Moats next year with 6 WR's (Brown/Baskett/Avant/Johnson/Bloom/??), instead of carrrying 4 RB's.....Hopefully the RB ? is filled by Corey DIllion and the WR ? is filled with Stallworth.

[Quasimoto]

I actually laughed out loud when I read we signed Bethel Johnson. 

Imagine being Dave Spadaro when they hand you the press release.  Even he probably spit his coffee everywhere.
