There has to be 22 cuts by Saturday. These are our projections. The backups
have to be effective on special teams.
Offense
3 Quarterbacks: Nick Foles, Mark
Sanchez, Matt Barkley
No Surprises here. Hopefully we will not see Barkley
during the regular season. It would be moronic to trade Sanchez should for
anything but a pair of second round picks. Every team should have two capable
starters in case the starting QB goes down. We should have more to say on
Sanchez in a blog up next week. It is doubtful Nick Foles will have only 2
interceptions by the end of this year.
4 Running backs: Lesean
McCoy, Darren Sproles, Matthew tucker, Henrey Josey
Chris Polk did not practice
much at all due to injuries.
Offensive Lines: LT Jason
Peters, LG Evan Mathis, C Jason Kelce, RG Todd Herremans, RT Lane Johnson,
3 Tight Ends: Brent Celek, Zach
Ertz, James Casey
Maybe next year the
Eagles roster will have 4 TEs. It is bound to happen under Chip Kelly.
5 Wide Receivers: Jeremy
Maclin, Riley Cooper, Jordan Matthews, Josh Huff, Brad Smith
Defense
Defensive Ends: Fletcher
Cox, Brandon Bair, Vinny Curry, Brandon Graham,
Defensive Tackles: Cedric
Thorton, Bennie Logan, Beu Allen, Damion Square
Outside Linebackers: Trent
Cole, Connor Barwin, Marcus Smith
Inside Linebackers: Demecco
Ryans, Mychal Kendricks,
5 Cornerbacks: Cary
Williams, Bradley Fletcher, Brandon Boykin, Nolan Carroll, Jaylen Watkins
Safeties: Malcom Jenkins,
Nate Allen, Earl Wolffe, Chris Maragos
3 Special Teams: Kicker
Cody Parkey, Punter Donnie Jones, LS Jon Dorenbos,
Parkey hit a 54 and 53
yard field goal and boomed a kickoff that almost went through the end zone
during the last preseason game. He led the College football with touchbacks When
Henry missed a 31 yard field goal, he knew his time was done. He was
embarrassed. 31 yards was the experimental extra point that the NFL was testing
out during one game of the preseason. If Parkey begins to play poorly (like
Henry), the Eagles should hold open tryouts or just sign random kickers until
someone sticks. This rule should be implemented because the NFL has an abundant
of offense. Donnie Jones has a good chance to be an all pro.
10 Practice Squad:,
G.J. Kinne, Will Murphy, Kenjon Barner, Trey Burton, Ifeanyi Momah, Ed
Reynolds, Taylor Hart
They recently raised
the practice squad to 10 and adjusted the rules. Obviously these players are
the odd men out. They could be picked up by other teams before getting signed
to the Eagles PS. At least they will make around $310,000. G.J. Kinne should is
a versatile QB. He is a utility player for the practice squad. Trey Burton
looks like a fun project that could develop into a role player next year.
Taylor Hart
Miscellaneous
Thoughts Going Into the Regular Season
Hoping for a 5th round pick in his 2nd year to
become the starter and beat out a veteran in Nate Allen. It has been five years
since Brian Dawkins has left the eagles and five years of not having a solid
starting safety duo.
As training camp was starting, there was talk that Evan Mathis wanted
more money. But he is a nice guy so
because of that let’s start a bake sale for him. It would have been stupid for
him to hold out.
Jordan Matthews is the second round pick and expected 3rd receiver on
the depth chart. He might end up being the first WR on the depth chart towards
the end of the season. Jordan would be hurdling over Maclin and Cooper.
A 30 year old, Darren Sproles, is supposed to fill the void of DeSean
Jackson. Jackson left without anybody in the Eagles organization caring.
