Damn. First scrimmage too. The NFL is tough... I don't keep up with the Iggles too much, how much will this hurt them. PFT says he's the defensive leader.

That really sucks. I don't wish that on anyone's team.

I should check it out and go to the Iggles TC since it's in my backdoor....

[Johnny Rockets]

....that one really hurts.......Highly underated and he was supposed to be the man with Dawkins gone.

This sucks

[CM86]

i hate TC!

[Darth Biscuit]

That's what I figured JR... sorry. I hate injuries for any team... I'd rather play the best they got, then there's no excuses and the games are better too.

[Johnny Rockets]

Consider me now concerned...hard to overcome losing the 3 defensive leaders in such a short time frame....(Dawkins,Jim Johnson, now Bradley). I just hope the bleeding stops here.

Yeah...that is pretty hard on any defensive unit to lose that much in less than 6 months.

Sorry it's starting out so rough for ya JR. We're all getting nervous since it's been a long time since these guys juked and jived in the heat.....sucks when this happens...

That sucks for the Eagles. One positive is that it happened early in camp (rather than near the end). At least his replacement will get lots of reps during TC.

Just trying to find some silver lining.

And people are complaining because Beason has a minor hammy and Kemo sprained an ankle. Sucks for Philly, I hate to see a year ending injury...

[Jase]

Likely replacement = Omar Gaither per PFT

mphs '02 represent!

Yeah, I have always liked Gaither but he was barely holding onto a job in Philly last year...now he is the signal caller of the defense......I do have faith in him though, he has experience.

I am just glad this happened early on...better now than at the beginning of the season. Gaither has time to get the reps in. (As Madhatter said)

Why do teams go so hard so early? Take a week and get some kinks out and then smack em.

Oh well

It was during the scrimmage of The Eagles "Fight Night" which is similar to your fanfest. Just a scrimmage for the fans at the stadium, wasn't there so I don't know how hard they were going at it, but Bradley is pretty intense. May have just been a freak thing.

*Edit* Actually just heard there was no contact at all and it was just a freak thing and that is typical for an ACL.

[SuperMan]

sucks for the eagles... dont wish injury on anyone... but there "d" is looking suceptible to our running game come wk 1...
