What we saw from OTAs

The Eagles kicked off the beginning of OTAs today with some interesting lineups and some nice action packed practice. For QB obliviously Vick was starter, Kafka took second string reps and I didnt see a lot of Foles but some Edwards.Vick looked good and threw some accurate throws including an amazing connection between him and Maclin. The offense was what was expected WR and RB wise Bell took the first team reps on the line. Now going to defense the Eagles had Ryans at MLB Rolle at WILL and rookie LB Kendricks at the Sam so that is the first team for now. I think it will be that starting line up come week 1 but maybe Chaney could battle for the WILL and dont count out 2nd year Casey Matthews at that spot but with how well Rolle played last year I think this is how it will be. Cant wait to pack on the pads and see some Eagles football!

4th and 5th WR Spot?

The Eagles have Jackson, Maclin, and Avant locked in at 1 2 and 3 but there is that uncertainty at 4 and 5 most people think that those spots will go to Cooper and Mcnutt and I agree but which in which and would the Eagles keep 6 WRS which they usually dont. I think the 6th round pick Mcnutt wins the 4th spot since he was a steal and has great size and hands so could help in the redzone offense. Cooper has been in the system for the past couple years but never has really shown anything flashy but he also has great size and hands but dont see him getting on the field a lot if Mcnutt does do great but Cooper will not just roll over he will compete heavily for that 4th spot.Then there is guys like Chad Hall who has been on the Eagles practice squad for 2 seasons but made his way on the roster both years during the season. I really like this kid he shows great versatallity and his TD vs the Redskins last year was monsterous. If you want a Welker I would have this kid on my team but Reid doesnt keep 6 WRS so I see him on the practice squad again but when injurys happen he should get on the roster again and perform pretty well. Mcnutt really interests me though I have not heard of him until the Eagles did draft him but now looking at him he shows a lot more than Cooper. Great Route Running, Great Hands, not flashy speed but his size makes up for that so hes everything Cooper is and better. If Cooper doesnt stand out this year then I see him going bye bye and Mcnutt penciled in and maybe bring in someone else at #5.....Just a thought.         

Polk vs Brown

The Eagles selected Bryce Brown RB from Kansas State a former #1 recruit in high school. They then signed undrafted FA Chris Polk RB from Washington who a lot of people had going in the high rounds. They will battle for the 3rd...or Second RB spot behind McCoy and possibly Dion Lewis. My take is if Bryce Brown wins the job then he will be the third I just think with his lack of playing football because of all the college changes that it will affect him in the long run and just dont see him more valuable then Lewis. Polk if make the roster and stays healthy should be a defenite #2 the reason for him being undrafted was because of his Shoulder Injury he had before the draft. I dont really like Brown but love Polk he could be a huge piece of the running game if he can beat out Brown.....and Greg Cooper.
