All about the E-A-G-L-E-S

[Mayfly]

Lets get back to the birds, CBS 3 reported Bloom gone, Rocca stays. I would have preferred they keep Bloom, he did not do a TERRIBLE job, he was hampered ny a toe injury and I guess they were just tired of the injuries.

They were looking for speed from him and with the toe injury that's not going to happen. Plus he wasn't going to contribute to the O and Greg Lewis will. Plus they claimed J.R. Reid today for KO returns so that's all set.

Don't tell me they got Reid back. This will be a long season for them with kick returns.

Why? He was damn good during his rookie season.

Yeah, I guess. I just would prefer Bloom who from my eyes has more natural speed than Reed. When you are a fast kick returner, the field opens up wide in front of you, look at Devin Hester. I am not comparing either to Hester, but speed kills.

it's J.R. Reed

not Reid

My fault.

That's the thing though. Bloom didn't show any of that speed in the preseason. He's a guy that looks good playing in shorts, but when you strap the pads on it's not the same. He was tentative all preseason, especially after getting popped a few times. He was running East and West too much. The Eagles don't have patience for that. See Wynn, Dexter.

Thank god they had a back-up punt returner in case Bloom didn't work out. Oh wait, they didn't have a back-up punt returner in case Bloom didn't work out. Well it's not like that could cost them a game. Oh wait....

Reno was solid, even if he wasn't flashy.

exactly--reid's always gone with consistancy in his special teams but this year, aside from akers, it's almost entirely new....oh well, chalk it up to first week rust (i hope)

That's why I was shocked they didn't have a back-up punt returner in case Bloom didn't work out.
