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?

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
