Rasul Douglas has the teeth this defensive backs need.

Matt Rhule says CB Rasul Douglas, who was picked up off waivers last week, told coaches: "Don't baby me. Put me man-to-man, I don't care."

This is the attitude we need back there. Dude just wants to compete one on one. That is confidence.

I confess I didn’t know anything about this dude before Sunday. My question now is “Why the hell was he on waivers?”

This is the exact type of player I can see us continuing to pursue with Rhule, and honestly that is the thing that has me the most hype about him. Such a refreshing approach as opposed to playing the vets instead of rookies because thats the way it is. Hope he continues to excel, because we definitely need some secondary success.

Yeah not really sure, Eagles don't exactly scream deep secondary either...

Douglas is a 4th year vet

Attitude is great but he can also back it up which is the full package. Good for him and a great pickup so far.

You think Chris Gamble can still play? I bet we could use him.

[PanicPete]

He made a really nice play on a day where our defense was invisible, keep em rolling I say!

He couldn’t stay healthy with them. A number of eagles fans on different sites admitted that Douglas would be a steal if he could be healthy. Sidney Jones was the talent issue.

One game.

No matter what happens when April comes CB is right there on top of that list.

I like it. Lets hope he has shaken the injuries and is ready to go. I do agree no matter what a #1 CB has to be the main goal next year. Draft or FA.

I confess that I'm not a football expert, but I've never heard of the 4 CB's they kept on the roster. I did read somewhere that Douglas was more of a zone CB, so maybe it's just a scheme thing.
