Why?  Are you so delusional that you'd think they could get something?

Interesting.  I got it from another Iggles board.  Figured it was completely legit considering the link.  IDK then!

I wonder if they farged up releasing it early by mistake

[Susquehanna Birder]

Wow.  Ian Scott.  Very odd.

He did nothing. Looks like Jeremy Clark did enough to stick. Good for him.

Roper and Jordan didn't make it......there goes the backups. They have to bring someone in. I just hope it's someone good enough that when Gocong completely flames out he can play.

Somebody is in trouble considering that Spads update was from 1:10pm today, and the wireless thing came out then.

Cuts Chatter: Silence Until Saturday



So now we wait. And speculate. And theorize. And wonder who won't make this initial run at the 53-man roster. The Eagles aren't announcing their cuts until Saturday. We are silent on Friday. Quiet. The NFL deadline is 4 p.m. on Saturday, and the Eagles plan on taking it to the limit before announcing who is going to be part of roster for the first week of the season.

What does it mean for us? Agony, plain and simple.

You know that you can go down the list and make your own cuts and you would probably get 90 to 95 percent of them correct. There are 22 names that have to come off the current 75-man roster. It doesn't take a genius to get most of them now.

But there are some intriguing questions ... did Jeremy Bloom do enough on Thursday night to win a job? Who is the punter? What do the Eagles have planned at cornerback and safety? Will they carry 10 offensive linemen and 10 defensive linemen again? Is there enough depth at linebacker?

And here is one we won't know the answer to for a day, maybe two, possibly three: Are there players the Eagles are bringing to the party after this roster is cut to 53? In other words, are there trades? Are there players off the waiver wire who are coming in?

Patience, patience, patience.

It isn't something that is my strong suit. I want the answers now.

The way of the world is that we have no choice. Enjoy the day. Go for a run. Kick off your holiday weekend the right way. Just don't sit around waiting for the word to come from the Eagles on Friday.

Saturday is the day. The pieces will fall into place then.

Reid's got Reno's mgr at Chickie & Peete's on the phone asking him if he can get a day off to take a physical

I liked Jordan's play alot, he needs to get bigger though, he looks like a safety.

Cutting Ian Scott makes absolutely no sense. I don't care if he didn't do anything in the preseason. He was an anchor on the best defense in the league last year. He's young and big and talented and has proven it in real live meaningful games.

And cutting Bloom? What the farg? This farging team...

is William Thomas still available?
