West Virginia Speedster Noel Divine Signs With Eagles

The Eagles have added another diminutive and speedy backup for LeSean McCoy. University of West Virginia product and rookie free agent Noel Divine has just signed with the Eagles. He’s the school’s All-Time leader in all purpose yards (5,761).

This is going to make things crowded and competitive in the Birds offensive backfield. The Birds acquired another another small, quick and speedy running back, Dion Lewis, in this year’s draft.

Divine returns kickoffs and is also very effective in the passing game.

Last year he had a problem with a turf toe and it limited his effectiveness in his senior year at West Virginia.

Paulman: He’s a great back with alot of flare for the inside. He’s got great speed. My sources in West Virginia tell me the toe has healed quite nicely. This was a great signing. He’ll be a top proven prospect this season.

Who cares with these meaningless signings. These are camp bodies. If this their aggressiveness, then they’re doing great with undrafted camp bodies. WTF!!!! TRADE KOOOOOOLB!!!

Wow, go big east. The Eagles now have a backfield entirely full of Pitt and WVU guys… kinda cool and yet wierd for me, being a Pitt alumn/WVU rival. All of those players were standouts in school though, so I’m happy.

oh please, no pennsylvania OR WV school drinks as much as Indiana University of Pennsylvania – AKA “I.U.P” – has nothing to do with words that indicate states or schools – it stands for “I Usually Party”.

No go to Arizona for Kolb who are signing Matt HAsselback instead..
Seahawks signed T Jackson who is very familiar with Seattle’s new offense since they hired former Viking O/Coordinator which is a good fit

The Titans are now back in picture for Kold for CB C Finnegan and a 2nd Round pick in 2012 per my sources..

Devine has potential as a return player, but he doesn’t blcok well, and his work ethich has been an issue while at WVU.. He has a terrible Senior week and a poor COmbine so unless he’s got his head together, he wont be around long and Draft Pick D Lewis is much tougher and brings the same attributes but with heart and focus.. Devine will be a camp body since Eagles will not bring back Harrison & Buckley..

so what are likely the moves the eagles are going to make to add players…all i see is subtraction going on. i figured they would be making news since they have an aggressive plan. maybe silence is the new aggressive.

Paul your in denial hahaha you minds well give it up… Kolb is getting traded to the cards most likely thursday but by the end of the week for DRC and a pick, bottom line… why do you keep refuting it so much? Its a good deal for us and its going to hapen today or friday…
