Eagles get down to 53

Wow, some surprise cuts yet some big time bold moves to keep some players.
The Eagles cut today
OG Danny Watkins
WR Russell Sheppard
WR Greg Salas
TE Clay Harbor
OL Bamiro
LB Chris McCoy
S David Sims

So with that the Eagles are at 53 but take a look at some of the big moves the Eagles decided to keep these players.

WR Jeff Mahel- Had a great game vs the Jets and went to Oregon with Kelly looked fast and smart.

TE Emil Igwenagu- My hat goes off to this guy, He continued to produce at TE and FB to a point where he beat out Clay Harbor. He is a great blocker and will be on the field as the 4th TE which Kelly likes to use all his tight ends.

CB Brandon Huges and Curtis Marsh- Both played solid when on the field and with no CB depth right now, they couldn't afford to give these guys up with how much they have put into each guy.

S Kurt Coleman- The Eagles decided to keep 5 safeties so with Chung, Allen, and Wolff as the biggest contributors, Coleman and Anderson will play big roles on special teams.

LB Emmanuel Acho, Casey Matthews, Jake Knott- All 3 linebackers made the roster which is rightfully so. Acho was flat out spectacular and Knott was a monster in the run game as well. Casey Matthews has come along nicely and the Eagles are in good hands with nice, young depth at the inside linebacking position.
