We learned today that the Eagles will be going to battle against the Arizona Cardinals without the services of wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and offensive left tackle King Dunlap. We had known Dunlap was unlikely to go all week long, but the Birds were holding out hope that Maclin would be able to go.
According to Eagles head coach Andy Reid, Maclin just wasnt’ making quick enough recovery for this game. The former Missouri Tiger is recovering from a hip flexor injury which he suffered in the Cleveland Browns game, then re-injured in the Baltimore Ravens contest.
Dunlap injured his hamstring against the Ravens and was replaced by Demetress Bell, who was brought here in the off season to replaced injured Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters. Bell did a good job as Dunlap’s replacement against the Ravens, hopefully he will do just as good of a job versus the Cardinals.
Rookie wide receiver Damaris Johnson will step in for Maclin at times, but slot receiver Jason Avant will step in there at other times. I think Johnson will take Maclin’s position when they’re doing something which requires speed. At other times, they might need more size, then Avant will step in and take Maclin’s place.
The combination of Johnson and DeSean Jackson are two small receivers, who are extremely quick and fast, they could create problems for the Cardinals, but you can be sure that the Arizona secondary will try to intimidate them.
Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper is still recovering for a fractured collarbone and will miss the Cardinals game as well.
Cards 20 – Eagles 16
Dude, are you 14 years old? you come to a web site to antagonize people by making outlandish statements.
that what I would do in middle school – minus the internet
perfect Pman… thanks. BTW… sorry that your panthers lost last night. Did you enjoy MCd”s d? Man i dont miss that… you can have him.
Thanks Frank good point! It is raking at times when someone just goes the other way just to piss in your lunch.
Fraudman plays both sides of the coin.. If they lose he can say ‘Fraudman predicted it’ if they win he will,say I’m an eagles fan and am glad they won.
He is either 14 or 40 and living in moms basement.
If the eagles can hit kolb he will be terrible .. second, they have to run the football early mccoy and company need 25 carries every game.. this will allow vick to play his game and dominate
Pman= joke! Wanna be analyst..I think the trade rumors are the funniest..should be in the news journal..
How do figure the cards will put up 20 on us..lol..
27-10 PHILLY HOME BOY! ..we ride and die Philly..take that BS elsewhere like a cardinals blog…
Silencer, good stuff buddy, im with you on that. These so called fake BS eagles fan can take that crap elsewhere!
Even-flo is what its called.The Eagles will lose one of the next 2 games. Traveling to Arizona with the BIG Sunday night game next week vs the Giants I can easily see the Eagles losing to the Cards then beating the Giants next week. If they win against the Cards then I would expect them to lose a close one next week vs the Giants. Its called even-flo.
