– Michael Vick is now able to play for the Eagles beginning in week 3. Vick was originally supposed to sit out of action until week 7, but after meeting with the commish and being a “model citizen” according to Joe Banner, his return date was adjusted.
– Eagles have to cut their roster down to 53 guys by today’s 6:00 p.m. deadline. WR is an interesting debate. Do they cut Reggie Brown and/or Hank Baskett to keep Brandon Gibson and Danny Amendola? I would prefer to keep the latter and cut the former based on their performance thus far.
– Eagles have reworked Jason Babin’s contract and he will make the 53 man roster. What an impressive preseason this guy had. He could easily be the Eagles best defensive lineman other than Trent Cole. So who is the odd man out?
– Eugene Bright, Willie Williams and Curtis Gatewood have been cut.
– Winston Justice was injured during the Jets game with a pectoral strain and he’ll have an MRI on it. This offensive line needs to get healthy in a hurry. It’s the one concern going into the season.
We saw a lot of Michael Vick last night. A lot of flashes from the past — some nice runs, some nice throws, but some sloppy plays (fumbles, trying to outrun everyone on the field and getting sacked for 20 yards).
I really hope Eldra Buckley, Brandon Gibson, and Danny Amendola all make the final roster. Lorenzo Booker and Reggie Brown can get the ax to make room for them. Jason Babin looked great, he had a very effective pass rush. TE replacement Tony Curtis also had a nice TD grab, as well as several nice catches.
