  • No, Not JR !

    I am really, really saddened by this. This team needs more guys with energy like JR Reed. He brings more to the table than just talent.

    I am pretty surprised by this.

    Bye JR. Good luck with whatever you do

    he really didnt have his old burst returning kicks, but i'm sad about it too.
    Don't kid yourself Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd kill you and everyone you cared about!

      I don't like it. But I like their new approach to energizing this roster.

        Yeah, it was probably the right thing to do. I am sure Andy and JJ also hated to seem him go after all he has been through.

        JR and McCants worked so damn hard to stay on the roster. Its just a damn shame.

          It's a nice story, but JR had no burst anymore.

            He has heart, he hits like a ton, but he lost that extra gear.

            No question Perry is better at KO IMO at this time.

            I'm on record as saying the Birds will go out and get a return guy, a speed returner, from the wire. I like Ponder from the Jints who got cut.

              hitting is what he brought. I guess that is not enough. Maybe he gets picked up when Perry goes down.

                Just not sure why 5 RB's, with this O I'm just not sure why, since the emphasis has always been about passing.

                I gotta think there is another shoe to drop here.

                And don't get me wrong, I think Perry is a very very talented RB, have said so for 2 years........ but this isn't making much sense to meright now. Maybe i'll have to digest this more or there is more to come.

                  Glad to hear the below from Heckert (from Spads articel):

                  There were plenty of them when the Eagles put together the 53-man roster. No J.R. Reed after that courageous comeback? The Eagles went with Bruce Perry as a running back/kickoff return man, but Heckert hinted that the door may not be completely closed with Reed, who is subject to league-wide waivers right now.

                  "We're not down on J.R. at all. It was just a matter of, do we keep five safeties? It was going to be tough for us to do that," said Heckert. "Even if you kept five, how do you keep all five of those active if J.R. was going to be the guy that's going to be the kick returner?

                  "So, now in the situation where we've only kept four, we think it opens up another spot for somebody else. We'll see what happens down the road, but we still think J.R. can play for us."



                  As I said earlier, if Perry gets hurt, they find a reason to bring in the fifth Safety, since they still have five HB's (included Toupe').

                  Unlike Freshie, I'll pull for Considine and Mikel. Mikel had a fantastic game Friday, so I have no problem with either of those guys. I have no problme with anyone that they kept other than Mahe, but he may be kept just for the extra spot to drop when we pick up a waiver person.
