JMatt in Philly for a physical

[IronEagle]

I actually liked him quite a bit in college and thought he had big play potential here - a sorta "faster on the field than on the track" player. But I'm also not a professional scout. That being said, Mike Groh and Carson (Walch, obviously) don't install much confidence that they'll turn him around next season.

True. Could be the kind of player who leaves the Eagles and does well somewhere else. Hopefully not.

Ole Reliable!

Funny thing is before he was traded for Darby the team was high on him, he catches everything thrown to him, problem is he is more of a possession receiver than speedster.

I thought the same and it hasn't started off well but I am not writing off JJAW yet. As unproductive as the WRs have been I am surprised we have not seen him get more action - the very play he screwed up in the Lions game is the type of plays this guy brings to the table(when he makes the damn catch).

Gary Jennings waived by the Seahawks, I would be all over that..............

Djax to IR. JMatt makes more sense now with the empty roster spot. Jackson can return for playoffs, which I guess is a thing.

[Chupacabra]

Two empty roster spots now...JMatt is probably going to be one. Who's the other?

Cre'von. Sorry, I thought that was a given. Maddox will slide in as a depth safety if something happens.

That's right. Forgot about him.

Ah shit Mathews runs like a 6.7 40 and strikes fear into defenses

You know, Matthews had a better 40 time than Alshon, JJAW and Mack Hollins.

[Anthony]

They just signed him.

Yep

Matthews 4.46
Alshon 4.48
JJAW 4.54
Hollins 4.53

Alshon 4.48
JJAW 4.54
Hollins 4.53

Ole Reliable!

There a very good chance that they signed the best WR on the roster today.

[Melchior]

If memory serves me correctly, JMatt scored two 40+ yard TDs when he was brought in last season.

One in the playoff game, right? Looked it up and he had a 56-yd catch and run v Tenn and a 37-yd TD in the Saints playoff.

Wasn't he also coming back from an injury? He's never been a burner, but he's the lord of the crossing routes.
