2nd round safety of the eagles in 11 was cut today.

http://www.nfl.com/n...condrounder-cut

Any familiar with him johnny rockets maybe that could shed some light on it? From the article he sounds every bit like what godfrey has been for us. (misses a lot of tackles) However with steve wilks being brought in from the chargers do you think we take a chance on him in a back up role and move campbell to the practice squad?

why?

Because we should always be looking to upgrade even in the back up positions. Not to mention the guy has been in a crowded secondary in philly.

He has good size at 6'0 and he seems to be pretty built and every one of our safeties is pretty scrawny by comparison as i mentioned the biggest guy in our secondary from a physical standpoint is Captain and for a safety thats crazy if corners are bigger than you.

And how do you go from being regarded as a great tackler by coaches all over the place to being a horrible tackler all of a sudden? I think it's an interesting look.

Is he a "special teams ace?"

In 11 when they drafted him they were hoping he would fit the mold of Brian Dawkins. And supposedly in college he looked every bit the part. I'm sure you all are aware of the poo machine that has been going on in Philly with their d coach being a former o line coach.

As far as special teams goes i'm as out of the loop as you guys on the subject. All I know is what I remember hearing during draft day in 11 and what I saw from some highlights on that day and from some i've just found. Which is why I asked if anyone knew in my first post.

Isn't wilkes supposed to be really good with the safeties?

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
