Midswat22 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Had season ending knee surgery yesterday according to ESPNews bottomline . . . So the Eagles are looking pretty thin at wide receiver and running back . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great28 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Unbelievable. Has this cat played a full year yet? This guy epitimizes the term "injury prone", because he is ALWAYS hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 He's out again?!!?? Jeebus... and people complain about Taylor Jacobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpickering Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 As much as I hate to admit it the Eagles should be fine at RB. They have Westbrook, Mahe, and rookie Ryan Moats. They anticipated the injuries at RB well in drafting Moats. Now the situation at WR is another story. With the concerns with TO and lack of depth, I would have drafted more than one WR, but that is just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsbadd Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 No suprise really that Cbuck is out again. The suprise here is that the Eagles did not see it coming. I know they have some promising back ups but nobody that has proven anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXREDSKINS44 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 It sure would be nice, it sure would be perfect and in light of the news that the Eagles will again be without Correll Buckhalter for the season. http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/default.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMalcolmConnection Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Apparently Donovan didn't do too bad in his first preseason start with the receivers that he had... I loved watching that INT, but he's still completing passes to scrubs and rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Bucky being lost for the season shouldn't impact the Iggles to much (especially since Andy Reid passed on like 59% of all his offensive plays). It's how the 2nd and 3rd WR's do that will make or break the Iggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Where's Autry when you need him? More like where is Dorsey Levens? They may be fine, but they don't have a whole lot of experience behind Westbrook. Reno Mahe is still a bit of an unknown, but should know enough to be able to fill in a bit. Moats has potential, but it always takes a while for a back to pick up blocking schemes, and he's a little guy like Westbrook. Basically, Mahe needs to step up, or Levens (or another veteran) needs to be brought in. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Did they lose Pinkston for the year as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pR0JEkT 21 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Well that sucks for the Eagles, but hey its all part of the game..it can happen to anybody on any team..even ours of course. The thing is to me..that I think that the Eagles are not that good anyways. Thats just a one mans opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Did they lose Pinkston for the year as well? Yep. Achillies Tendon, if I remember correctly. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty P For The Pulitzer Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Westbrook staying healthy is the key to the Iggles getting back to the playoffs now. Mahe is nothing special, and Moats is a rook who hasn't proven anything yet. Yeah, Reid passed about 60% of the time last season, but how many of those passes were screens and dump-offs to Westbrook? None of their other RBs can do what Westbrook can in the open field (or even when he's surrounded, for that matter). If he can stay healthy, then this won't be that big of a deal.

With the concerns with TO and lack of depth, I would have drafted more than one WR, but that is just me. Westbrook and their Westbrook clones are not RBs they are WRs who can run behind an offensive line NE exposed them in the SB, they needed Buck for when their pass-first offense had to grind out some yards between the tackles bad news for the Eagles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
