Fluffiest Fluff In All Of Fluffland

Posted by Derek

I respect the job Dave Spadaro does and recognize the constraints within which he operates, but man he laid on it thick this weekend.  It's those kinds of columns that really send some people over the edge.

There's being positive, and then there's this:

  1. Most of the spring's focus has been on the surrounding cast, one that McNabb has repeatedly talked in lavish tones about.
  2. He has a good group around him, for sure, with a strong offensive line, a good array of playmakers, some youth sprinkled in among the veterans of the Eagles scheme.
  3. McNabb reported to spring practices in tremendous physical condition...
  4. Second-year man Kevin Kolb has demonstrated a readiness to take control of the offense, if called upon. 
  5. With a big, live arm, with good mobility and with the cool exterior you like to see in the position, Kolb is off to a good, nurturing start to his career.
  6. Feeley has the team-first mentality in everything he does, so should he end up as No. 2 or No. 3 behind McNabb, so be it.
  7. Casey Hanson is a spring long shot, a tall and long-armed kid who is in the category of "prospect" for the Eagles' coaching staff.

It must be said:

  1. Not that lavish:  "I think that for the guys that we have on the offensive side, the ones that we are working with, we make do with what we have and try and make the best of what it is."
  2. Array means more than one, doesn't it?
  3. Except for that shoulder.
  4. In June?
  5. "Hey DeSean, put down that playbook for a moment and let's talk about how you're feeling."
  6. "Although it's obvious that Feeley has been getting fewer repetitions at these minicamps, he's not ready to concede the backup job.  'I don't get the feeling either way,' Feeley said. 'I just get the feeling we're practicing and playing. It's kind of beyond the whole numbers game for me. I think they know upstairs what I'm capable of doing.'"
  7. At least he has long arms.  Better than Todd Herremans.
