Or throw anyone with a pulse back there kinda like the Lewis/Reed/Mahe shtein from a few years ago

I don't get why they would want to take pimp away as the put returner.....he is a game changer back there. Its not like he is a WR that is going to catch the ball 10 times a game. He is a playmaker let him get the ball as much as he can.

Sgt PSN · September 03, 2011, 02:28:52 PM

Yeah, he doesn't catch a lot of balls and defenses can and will scheme to limit the amount of times he gets thrown to each game, so you might as well keep him on PR duty so he gets a few more touches each game. Granted, punters will likely kick to the sideline with him back there, so he may not get too many return opportunities, but that also opens the door for the punter to shank one off the side of his foot and have it go oob 30 yards down field, which still benefits the offense. Besides, all it takes is 1 kick to go him as evidenced by the NY game last year.

Isn't Johnnie Lee Higgins still on the team? I guess he'd be the 6th WR

Not from the Eagles, but thanks for the input.

DH · September 03, 2011, 03:02:36 PM

Hargrove..better?

PoopyfaceMcGee · September 03, 2011, 03:05:09 PM

Yes, thanks. Don't let it happen again.

Drunkmasterflex · September 03, 2011, 03:17:34 PM

They also released landri, Hargrove and Landri out play Laws and they still don't make the team. This is why the Eagles don't win Super Bowls, teams like the Steelers have no problem cutting second round picks if they suck.

BigEd76 · September 03, 2011, 03:27:58 PM

guess this means Cedric Thornton made it

Drunkmasterflex · September 03, 2011, 03:28:58 PM

Doubt it, don't they normally only keep 4 DTs?

PoopyfaceMcGee · September 03, 2011, 04:00:09 PM

Veterans on the roster week 1 have the season's salary guaranteed. Can almost guarantee at least one of them will be back after the Rams game.

PoopyfaceMcGee · September 03, 2011, 04:01:38 PM

P.S. McGlynn gone. And Austin Howard. Justice took a pay cut to stay.

BigEd76 · September 03, 2011, 05:21:53 PM

Donald Lee's gone too

PhillyPhreak54 · September 03, 2011, 05:25:04 PM

I read on Caplan's site that Landri and Hargrove both had $50k bonuses if they were on the roster week one.

Cheap FO!

Seriously though, they outplayed Laws. But the defense is just fine. Super.
