true, it's now a little bit of a crowded d line. I thought Carriker really showed his ability at the end of the year & why he was a 1st round pick. Now, if JJ is ready, there are 3 DEs that should be starting caliber + Cofield who could play there too.

dang, they ain't even full pads yet right? He's now hurting his upper body too! I don't have high hopes for ATV for that reason, depending on his health at the end of camp I could see him being cut again.

Any word on how Kerrigans looked making his conversion to 3-4 LB?

I believe he hasn't been practicing because of a knee injury.

Well he's been sidelined due to hyper extending his knee (nothing serious) So he really hasn't gotten the chance to get out there. Although he's getting the mental reps in. Personally I think he's going to be a great player for us and will transition fine to the 3-4.

Hope he gets back to early season 2010 form, he's one of the players I'm excited about. I think if he's healthy & has his quickness/speed he's worth a roster spot just as a returner.

Banks is on the bubble right now it appears. I was listening to ESPN980 (one of the few times they weren't talking about McNabb) and I think Chris Russel mentioned something about that there have been issues with Banks like the stabbing incident and "other issues" that may be putting him in the doghouse. I'm sure any injury is not going to help his cause.

SS has alluded to that all offseason.

He's definitely on some thin ice given all the WRs that are fighting for jobs.

According to a source of mine - he's taking mental steps while his knee heals....I still don't think he has enough speed to play OLB in a 3-4...

How much speed do you need? He runs in the 4.6 range.

Oh my, this is terrible if it is true.

Scary, if that's indeed the case.

Recent news on Jeremy Maclin - Philadelphia Eagles - Rotoworld.com

Wow...would be horrible. It's one of the most-beatable forms of cancers but it's still no picnic. I've known a couple of people with it.

Jeremy's reportedly dropped 15 pounds since the end of last season.

Football take on it:
Vick is not going to have anyone to throw to at this rate. DeSean Jackson is no #1 WR...too small and afraid to go over the middle...injury-prone too (concussions). He wants paid like he's the main guy, but Maclin is clearly their #1 WR. He had 70 receptions to Jackson's 43. A home-run hitter can't carry the team by himself.
