I think the door is wide open for McDougle to make the team :-) Reid isn’t pleased that Chris Clemons is going to miss his 3rd preseason game in a row.

Some players just will never be complete students of the game and make things happen on the fly. Kearse was/is such a player but I wish he had took more to the Joker position in JJ's defense because that suited him best. Oh well, I enjoyed him playing with the team though and good luck to him back in TN @TBR

If he was engaged he was pretty much done. What I noticed here was if he had a speed rusher on the other side (i.e. Burgess) it plays into his hands. I think guys like Kearse need to just freelance, putting them into a system corrals their overall skills. Kearse was at his best when he was able to use his first step to get one up on most tackles.

If that happens I hope its in the AFC. I'm really excited about the DT situation because I think Bunk and Patterson can take a big step this year and be truly dominating even more so than they were last year when they were still learning to play together. Laws is going to be solid and may pay more dividends than DeSean Jackson and I think Klecko has pretty much locked up the fourth spot in the rotation. The Eagles have what can be an embarrassment of riches at the DE position to go with Cole because most of these guys are hungry unknowns looking to make a name for themselves. Juqua still plays with a chip and Clemons can only get better once he learns JJ's defense. Abiamiri is going to be slowed by the wrist injury but if Darren Howard can bring some of his solid pre-season play into the regular season the Eagles will be just fine off the edges. Still too bad it never worked out with Kearse. Anyone know what really happened there? Was he just freelancing or did JJ never know how to really use him?

He's too good of a player. I'm not just saying this because he's a homeboy either. My boy Jerome will make the team and if by some miracle he doesn’t make the team, someone else WILL pick him up.
