A fight just broke out all of sudden at the Eagles practice at the Nova Care Complex. Eagles cornerback Cary Williams was covering wide receiver Riley Cooper as he ran an inside slant route during the one-on-one drills near the beginning of practice.
Eagles quarterback Michael Vick threw the ball to Cooper, who dove for the football but Williams knocked the ball down with his left hand. He also had his right arm wrapped around Cooper as he took him to the ground.
Cooper felt like he had been tackled and the practice was only in shorts, helmets and shells, so he got up and approached Williams to grab him. But Williams stepped back and started firing punches. The cornerback was landing punch after punch on Cooper, but the wide receiver had his helmet on to protect himself. Cooper tried to lift his hands to protect himself, but he didn’t fire back any punches. Williams also grabbed Cooper’s helmet to prolong the scuffle.
Cornerbacks Bryce Brown and the newly acquired Shaun Prater came into grab Williams and break up the fight, but the former Ravens cornerback wasn’t interested in breaking it up, so he continued pursuing Cooper can yelling at him.
Eventually Vick came in and grabbed Williams to cool him down. Defensive back coach Todd Lyte came into help Vick as they tried to talk some sense into Williams. It seemed that Williams said something that fired up Vick, so Lyte stepped in to get Vick out of the altercation and back into the huddle. At the end of it all, wide receiver DeSean Jackson came in and escorted Williams out of the action.
nice. cary seems to bring something this D has been lacking some fire, some passion, and a ill fuck you up attitude. i like it. shame he cant cover anyone
LOL so true mhenski.
Im ok with this though as he brings MUCH MUCH MUCH more than that pussy asomugha
Yeah, he is good on run support, but he is gonna give up some plays this year.
i like it who thinks it had anything to do with vent up frustration over coopers racial slur so he lashed out only way he can. Also Cooper was smart not trying to fight because knowing the media it would back up that cooper is in fact Racist and not that he was defending himself but hey get riled up for it so we are ready for the skins.
Also Williams is going to get in the Redskins ears.
Just dont get ejected or kicked out for it but yes even if his approach isnt likeable he can instill what the Defense has needed which is Attitude and and Chippy Defense.
Also and i know its pre-season but him being on Defense was like night and day
This would be great if Williams could actually cover someone.
He is all talk, but doesn’t have the game to back it up. He will have more penalties than INT’s this year. Baltimore had Lewis and Reed to reign in this crackpot, who on the Eagles defense can keep this guy from causing them trouble on the field?
CHIP KELLY. But i think there are players on our D that dont have to be Lewis or Reed that can control him plus i think Riley cooper could of popped him one in the lip an he would calm down but then again that would be Racisim.
i think cary is on the short leash with chip as you can tell after his outbursts chip talks him down an he changes his stance on the matter but it was a scuffle nothing more nothing less.
***Trade Alert***
Eagles trade CB Williams to the 49ers
And get back CB Nnamdi Asamough..
Good Grief!!!
If these are lingering feelings from what Cooper said then Coach Kelly needs to get this shit settled and settled fast…If he has to let Riley fight every single player that has a problem with him, then so be it…But this can’t be going on, a distraction that isn’t needed before the first game of the season…ESPN is already running wild with this shit.
Eagles also reportedly Trade WR Riley Cooper to the KC Chiefs for my main man, WR Mardy Gilyard…. Good Times…
yo paulman, whats up with autodrafting last night? thats bush league and a total violation!
My son had Boy Scouts last evenign with “Code of Honor” Ceremony and I didn;t get home to 930pm and missed it… SOrry about that ..
WHere is the League Posted.. Any Password to get in…
lol. paul you signed in already. your team name is there. log in to your yahoo account go to sports then fantasy
Thnx, I will check it out, How’s your Team..
I have a feeling Cary Williams will be public enemy #1 this season for Eagles fans. Nothing worst than a guy that talks tough on the field but cant back it up in his play.
I want attitude on this defense but I want it coming from guys that can actually play. Williams will be getting burned all season long, and then he will throw temper tantrums the following drives costing us 15 yard penalties. Esp with the whole bed bath and beyond shopping (whatever the hell it was) Im to good to practice crap he pulled earlier, I don’t think he is going to survive this city.
Every corner gets beat from time to time come on. Not to many Deion Sanders running around in the Nfl. He is willing to throw blows, this team needs it. There’s to much bitchassness on this team. Fight Fight Fight LOL.
pdiddy, bitchassness is shopping for sconces instead of playing football with your team. now all of a sudden this dude is a tough guy? What are we coming to as Eagles fans…And Williams wasn’t getting beat from time to time…it was a lot more than that. Just saying, this is the last guy I want to hear tough talk coming from.
So pheags he was good enough to play for the world champs but his is not good enough to play here. Man please this candy ass secondary he is a welcome addition.
LOL good point about the sconces tho.
C. Williams ….whip that racist ass!!!!!!!!!!!
Since cooper want to fight every ni**er up in here..let Williams represent.
Kick that candy red ass!!!!!!!
Songs your a Racist Ass
Pot calling the kettle black, bruh! Neither of these dogs should be on the team. Cooper is useless, & should have been waved right after the comment, & Williams is a bum, that should have never been signed in the 1st place. He was ranked in the lowest 1/4 of the NFL CB’s, last year. He sucks @$$, isn’t a team player, will get burned routinely, & get many stupid penalties. BTW, what jersey you wearing, Vick, RGIII, Wilson, Kapernick, Smith, or Manuel? Flat out fool, troll!
Songs, you are seriously the scum of the earth. You represent everything that is wrong in America.
I’d put money on Cooper whooping Cary’s ass. Seriously, what man goes by the name Cary?
@btc…while I agree with your comments, is Riley any better of a first name?
Just sayin….Riley….who does that?
Touché, greenfan.
When hearing the Names of Riley & Cary,
Does anyone else think of the Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder Tune of “Ebony & Ivory”… Good Grief .. I can’t make this shit up!!!
Songs- Thats just stupid.
Hope willams has balls come Monday.
Atleast Williams is no nonsense and physical. Over the past two years we were crying about a lack of toughness and physicality. Williams brings that! He won’t win every battle , but he won’t lose them all either. Go kick some skins receiver ass Cary.
That’s what I am saying Eagleshaslanded no bitchassness
Williams repeatedly yelled “come kick this ni&$ers ass” at Cooper and VIck didn’t like it………they need to settle that shit up right quick!!
Good to hear that’s how Williams feels after saying this word should never be said if you white, black, blue, purple, etc. this guy is a ray Lewis wannabe. Time for him to put up or shut up. And for Riley he better bring his A game every week.
I agree crazy johnny. This is Chip’s real first problem and he can’t afford to let it continue to linger.
If its 3rd and long they should just put Cooper in at QB. Easy roughing the passer call
Haha this is all good, Williams is a good dude, he speaks his mind, just back it up on the field, speak your mind
Then Riley acted like Williams bitch, allowing a midget to pull his face face mask around, Riley should have kicked his ass but he’s been emasculated, ” I’m sorry, I never hold have said what I said, blah, blah,” we never heard the context of why he said it
I know Riley is like 6’3″, but Williams is like 6’1″, he’s not a small dude.
The funny part was the Eagles didn’t know how to handle a guy with some fight in him. LOL they were looking like oh my this guy wants to fight, what do we do.
You need some bad asses on your team fellas, this is football. That choir boy stuff was getting old.
pdiddy, yes, we need bad @$$E$ on the field, but it would be nice, if the bad @$$e$, actually had talent, & can play. Williams is a loud mouth, cheap shooting, stiff! He’s Izell Jenkins 2.0.
D he was good enough to play for the world champs. Let’s just wait and see how things go.
diddy, he had nothing to do with them winning the SB. As a matter of a fact, he almost got thrown out of the game, for shoving the ref. He was burned all game, & all season, & was at top of the league, for penalties to a secondary player. He is a punk, loud mouth, that can’t play, & is no better than DRC. Guaranteed to be burnt, at least twice a game. He’s a solid tackler, but he sucks in coverage. Think a combination of Izell Jenkins skills & Andre Waters temperment, without his skills. He will be villafied by week 2-3. Bank on it!
Knew this was going to happen after the Concert incident.. It should be happening all year against tough defenses.. It actually may make cooper play better .
“It actually may make cooper play better”
Hopefully. ‘Cause he damn sure got his feelings hurt and was hanging his head like a lil’ puppy dog after this fight. Can’t do that when defenders start jawing at you.
sure you can. thats called walking away and drawing a penalty on the D, the refs will be watching cheap shots on him. dumb post as usual
Vick grabbed Williams jersey and Williams slapped his hands away and barked something at him. Wonder how that conversation went.
It was about to go REAL left..but the assistant stepped in and pulled Vick back. lol
Williams didn’t want none of that. He may have thought he did…but Vick squared up REAL quick…I don’t think that was gonna end well for Williams.
Yep, Vick was still hot after practice.
Classic tough guy syndrome. Gets real tough and mouthy once his teammates are separating him.
I appreciate his fire, but that should be on the field instead of instigating multiple fights in practice.
I agree with BugsyHawk,
and I don’t like this guys attitude. Its ok to be passionate, but he seems to be a hot head who has no respect for his teammates and seems more concerned with his own ego and proving a point than he is about playing to win. I predict he is going to cost this team big time with his foolish behavior.
this is a dumb local story and dumber national story just writers capitalizing on race topics.
it would be one thing if they fought in the locker room or outside the stadium but they got fiesty in practice. i watched the video it wasnt a fight period
True, but look…we are all commenting on it!!!
Much to do about nothing, I believe..
What’s going to happen all Season long, when Cooper gets hits hard by a Black Defender.. I can hear and read it now…
Redskin LB London Fletcher, says “I hit that white boy for all of us”
Good Grief…
hanging his head isnt good…I guess will see monday.. He finally has a chance to start he cant fkk i tup
rather have TO than cooper
Listen guys, Williams is good at 2 things: picking out sconces and kicking ass and he just ran out of sconces.
So let me get this straight… Williams used the exact SAME word as Cooper, with the difference being he used it at his place of employment towards a fellow employee, he used it DURING THE SEASON…. where is the national outrage? where is the apologies to each and every team member that was offended by this word? where is the excusal from team activities for sensitivity training??
Only in America ladies and gentlemen… wow
haveacigar- it’s not the word so much as it is who uses it. It’s a terrible disgusting word. It’s also the reality of how the word was created, by whom and for what reason. It’s not the same. Stop trying to make it as if it’s an equal playing field, it’s not. Deal with it and stop trying to be a victim.
I’m trying to be a victim? me? very funny, verry funny– who acts like a victim when the word is spoken? all the eagles playiers crying like victims, columnist crying like victims….all the national media boo hooo we are so offended– me a victim? the players with their ‘i don’t know if i can be around him, i’m so hurt by that word…
Yes you I to get a kick out of it when someone tries to play victim when they are, not so it is very funny. I don’t care about the media,they are going to hype it up. The players, perhaps some of them do. But you must put yourself right up there with them because you are complaining about it not being fair and where is the national outrage. All is not fair in this world, it doesn’t feel good when it’s not fair to you.
And that’swhy you are complaining!
LOL, why explain it? I find it funny that people act like they don’t know or understand the difference.
Williams himself said its disgusting no matter who says it
Exactly.
Being willfully ignorant is never attractive.
speaking of victims think of the low expectations of ones own people to use such an offensive word toward one another. you don’t hear other persecuted and victimized people calling each other by their slur names– NEVER! They are too busy recovering from their victimization and moving forward– and once they have they become contributing members–
As an educator I have worked with and for many many AA colleagues and non of them use that word– they are too busy becoming successful– my mentor who i loved dearly was a principal about 20 years ago and heard a kid use the word with GA on the end– he took him into a vacant classroom and jacked him against the wall and laid him out about respect and the vulgarity of it all — i guarantee he’d be with me on this one if he was alive today.
“you don’t hear other persecuted and victimized people calling each other by their slur names”
You don’t? ‘Cause I see/hear it all the time. You clearly to hang out with many people of color or other groups who have been oppressed over time.
really the most persecuted people of the 20th century don’t call each other by their slur names no!
Who are the most persecuted people of the 20th century?
You are kidding right?
Read a history book and turn to a page about Europe in the 30’s
No I’m not cause less see…
– Cambodians might disagree with that (history book Pol Pot – Killing fields)
– South Africans might disagree with you on that (history book Apartheid)
– Rwandans might disagree with you on that ( history book Rwandan Genocide)
– The Vietamese might disagree with you on that (See their entire history)
– Serbs and Croatia might disagree with you on that (history book Serbian genocide)
– The Palestinians might disagree with you on that (their entire history)
– And yes AA might disagree with you on that (history book spectacle lynching, Jim-Crow, Share-cropping post slavery, The Tuskeegee experiment, the current prison industrial complex)
– so no the Jews were not the most persecuted group in the 20th century. There persecution was just caught up in WW2 but WW2 was not fought b/c of their persecution.
To your other point..I grew up surrounded by Jews and Catholics and I can assure you that Jews refer to themselves with stereotypically derogatory terms and also perpetuate widely held Jewish stereotypes – I just don’t suggest you do it.
Oh and I have posted on here about the prison industrial complex. It is atrocious.
I agree in that comparing atrocities is not appropriate I was simply stating that the sheer magnitude of the millions… I do not agree with the ‘they were just caught up in ww2’ statement. That’s Like saying the Serbs and Croats were just caught up in a civil war.
My point is that other persecuted groups don’t speak that way so openly and ignorantly. They move on build great societies and assimilate if necessary. They conform to the norms but the ignorance and low expectations that say its ok to speak this way is a hindrance in moving past the atrocity done to them
WW2 was fought b/c Hitler was a problem.
Had England fallen he would have taken over the rest of Europe (though the Russian excursion wasn’t bright) and then would have crossed the seas…we sent a barge full of Jewish women and children back tot heir death…we allowed Pear harbor to be bombed ’cause that was the only way to really convince the American people to get involved with what was viewed as a Eurpoean problem.
WW2 was not fought b/c of the Jews it was fought b/c Hitler was a REAL world threat…and Churchill had to do a lot of begging and pleading to convince the US to get involved.
Hey TS, you seem like a pretty smart cat on a lot of different topics.
How come that doesn’t carry over to an understanding of what makes a good NFL QB?
She is bright but there is a blind spot. She could rule the world if she would get rid of it
lol/smh
to both of ya’ll….
US supported both sides making $$$$ during the Early years
Of the European Battle.. Some will say we only got in in June of 1944 only to beat the Russians to get to Berlin first..
Hitler & his Third Riech were already a list caused by the Sumner of ’44 and the US Entey only speed up their Fall..
The Pacific War was an entirely different theatre.. Japan was taking all of Southeast Asia and then bombed our Navy on US Soil
at Pearl Harbor..
There were millions of Christians & Catholics who were also persecuted along with the 6 Million Jewish People..
And they moved on
I never said it was I said they were a persecuted people who moved on. And that jumping on cooper and saying its ok for Williams is the exact opposite of moving on
Cary Williams is a fraud wannabe gridiron gangster. When his level of play reflects his mouth, I might be inclined to feel impressed. As for any TEAMMATE still suffering hurt feelings? See Avant, Vick, or future HOF Dawk. They apparently get it.
