Talking 'bout Practice


I guess I am the only true fan paying attention to what is happening on the frying tarmac up Lehigh. In case you missed it, the Eagles are dropping like flies with injuries. Since the season is still like 6 weeks away, it is not that big of a deal. Of course Mr. Glass, Correll Buckhalter and the Freakergé egg, Jevon Kearse are sidelined by bunions or some such nonesense. But Sean Andrews has a busted foot. All pro Lito Shephard is out. L.J. Smith reinjured his sports hernia. Rookie sensation Tony Hunt also went down and Brian Dawkins ain't never been right. What does the coach think about this?
"It's not a problem," Reid said. "This is the way it happens every year, so we're fine here."
Big Red has had a rough summer, so I will give him a bit of a break. But Reid would say the same thing in November if Westbrook or Mcnabb were injured and out for the season. In other training camp news, Max Jean-Gilles is confused and thinks he is competing for Todd Fedoruk's roster spot. There is quite the epic battle for punter between Sav "The Puntypus" Rocca and Dirk's Johnson. Be sure to keep an eye on that one Monday. Plus all the injuries will really give the Eagles an opportunity to show their depth, says Chef Kool-Aid.
