Safety thought of the day.

I think it comes down to 4 guys, Watkins, Rowe, Wolfe or Reynolds. It would be awesome if Watkins, Wolfe or Reynolds wins out. Rowe is going to be a hell of an addition and I'd love for him to be able to eventually match up with Bryant and Beckham. Davis refuses to flip corners so teams can just line up opposite Maxwell. I really like Davis as a coach and he's a pleasure to listen to, but he's not the most creative or aggressive coach in the world.

I think we all got spoiled having Jim Johnson, and all other DCs suffer by comparison.
Having said that, even a blind man couldve seen last season that Bradley Fletcher was getting beaten like a rented mule (to quote a great American, Hunter Thompson).

I've said this before Dawk. Fletcher played pretty good until December (and the GB game). It wasn't until he faced the topflight guys that he really got lit up. And boy did he ever. In his defense he always played hard and was a tough tackler. It will be interesting to see how he does in NE. Chung could really get exposed to as Revise took away half the field last year. Then again that Butler kid might turn into another Revise with their luck.

Walter Thurmond Getting Some Work At Safety

WalterThurmond2I have learned through a source close to the Eagles, that newly acquired defensive back Walter Thurmond has been lining up at safety. That’s nothing jaw dropping since it’s so early, but a lot of Eagles observers have projected Thurmond as the starting cornerback opposite Byron Maxwell is getting some work at the safety position.

The former New York Giant and Seattle Seahawk may still wind up being the starter at cornerback opposite Maxwell when the season starts, but he’s getting work at the safety position, right now. It also opens up the door for second round pick Eric Rowe to get his shot at the starting cornerback spot opposite Maxwell. Rowe who plays both corner and safety, will start out at the cornerback spot in the team’s workouts.

The Eagles have emphasized that they want their defensive backs to be versatile. They want them to be able to play both the cornerback and safety positions, so it adds to the depth of the secondary. They were arguably the worst secondary in the National Football League a year ago.

Thurmond is listed at 5’11” 190 pounds big enough to do the job at safety, but he’s lacking experience at the position.
