Wsit... Malcom Kelly is active??

So JLaC has been lied to by JZ and Springs this week? Where's the rant?

we knew springs wasn't a go today. We might see Kelly for 10 snaps...

Didn't Abrami use to play for us? But only lasted throught training camp about 4 years ago?

I don't know for sure, but I suspect that we are playing Erasmus James instead of Jackson.

You are correct, frediefritz.

They want an experienced dude out there, since they're worried about the Big Play.

"Worried" isn't the right word; they want to prevent the Big Play. There.
New post upcoming momentarily.

Hate to say it as a die hard fan, but these injuries, plus Westbrook playing spells bad news and a loss.

I was so looking forward to a win today too.

Abrami was a recent draft pick by the Eagles.

SIC WID IT Says:

What happened to Marcus Washington? I remember all the talk about how healthy he was and how the hip wasn't gonna be a problem...

I like the guy but he's DONE!!!!

Sad but true Washington is never going to be healthy for any stretch. It is a violent game and he hit violently for a long time. Your body can only take so much. He reminds me of Monte Coleman. He played in a lot of games, and when health was a stud, but he was a weight lifter and was playing hurt a lot.

Anybody else think based on the opponents we have each played that maybe Philly's defense is not as stout against the run as their stats show so far?
