I spent Saturday afternoon at the Eagles training camp.  I have some pictures downloaded, which you can view here: http://www.allphiladelphiasports.com/images/eagles-camp/

Here are some of my impressions from the Eagles camp:

– Kevin Curtis looks 100%.  Whatever his injury was (a thigh contusion I believe) did not slow him down one bit during practice.

– DeSean Jackson caught two very nice deep bombs from McNabb during practice.  They also practiced the wild-cat formation with DeSean taking the snap, which picked up some nice yardage.

– Ikeguono had a very nice pass breakup.  He’s aggressive and flys to the ball.  If there’s one position the Eagles are stacked at, it’s got to be CB.

– Leonard Weaver has a nice set of hands for a FB.  Expect to see McNabb dump the ball to him on flat routes if the WRs get jamped up in coverage.  With DeSean, Maclin, White Lightning, and Celek, I don’t know how that will be possible, but the #5 go-to-guy will be Weaver out wide.

– I’m looking forward to seeing how King Dunlap plays during the pre-season.  He is an absolute monster.  He just towers over every O-lineman.

– I’m pulling for Eldra Buckley to win the 3rd RB spot over Booker.  Booker is a one-trick pony.  All he can do is run the screen play and maybe a stretch play.  He can’t run inside and he can’t block.  Buckley runs hard and looks like he has a lot of heart.  His style reminds me a lot of Ricky Williams when he was good, but that may just be the dreads-effect.
