See my last poston Residential Ooderated.i am quite sick; Can't get to hospital(flat tire plus i am weak to drive---i will never call fr ambulance;energency room said i best get to ER NOW, but i am not doing it.Plus Bernadette had a severe fall her face hit flush against cement just now!(She is Doylestown,Pennsylvania) Police man saw it and said he would take her to hospotal--she refused and he drove her home. As she told me her face is all bloody "i said any broken bones" She said Maybe her nose and cheek"(that goes no with OsteoSpinal Arthtritis)
i said maybe will die togeter and she "That would be really nice" So Mike, excuse me but i am just hanging on the edge of a Cliff. Regards Vick, i do NOT rule out Kelly resurrecting Vick--he has lost a step which means he is no longer Super Fast, now: he just FAST. The Kelly system will require Vick making quick decisions on the complex option system. This system will protect ick from being hammerd to death by pass rush--that could be something. You will fnd out and i may find out. Peace Amigo W.Maxfield G.

**Mar 12 Chung agreed to a contract with the Eagles on Tuesday.

Recommendation: Chung will reunite with former college coach Chip Kelly in Philadelphia. Expect him to step in as the starting strong safety for the Eagles.

In 2009 Chung was the Patriot 2nd round pick.

Well Kellyv knows this player inside out. He recruited him and was his coach. All is mum on what the contract cost, and for how long

But he signed for only1.2 million dollars hmm?

Brady Fletcher (1.4 million) is projected to battle to be a CB on the team He was 2nd pick in third round in 2009 by Rams

but click this sports.yahoo.com he had a tremendous rookie year then just played 4 games in 2nd year(obviously had a major injury and was put on IR. Played in 16 games in 2012 --seems perhaps as a backup player, his numbers way off terrific rookie year.

So again Kelly is looking at players that are still rehabbing the damned knee injuries=but have shown exceptional talent earlier--that all are still young. Kenny Phillips being the oldest of these three at 26. Kenny Phillips has two brutal knee injuries--it is sad--man i watch him in Miami games--he was phenomenal---he 31st pick in the first round by giants. But i remember after his first injury they were saying he may never play again--but he came all the way back and then his other knee put him on IR. i think Phillips is the longest shot as he was lightning fast--i doubt he can be again. Same thing Benn(they gave up a #6 pick to get him.)

Mar 15 The Eagles have acquired wide receiver Arrelious Benn and a seventh-round pick from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Philadelphia's sixth-round choice this year and a conditional draft pick in 2014.Advice: Benn, a second-round selection (39th overall) by the Buccaneers in 2010, has 59 receptions for 862 yards and five touchdowns in three seasons. He led the Buccaneers with 13 kickoff returns for 306 yards in only eight games last year before a knee injury ended his season. In 2011, Benn had career highs in catches (30), yards receiving (441) and touchdowns (3).

Talk about shaking up the Defense: With trade of Havilli for Geathers, we are in for a totally new look, Kelly rersearches deep, and evidently sees POTENTIAL to fit in his system: his demensions, at 6'7' and 325.(regard his 6'7'', Kelly may see potential to pat down passes.
Look at the DL plaqyers now listed as. LB

Philadelphia Eagles Continue Adding Intriguing Puzzle Pieces
COMMENTARY | You remember that 2011 offseason spending spree all too well, I'm sure.

Vince Young's two-word description of the Philadelphia Eagles, after they got aggressive and spend-happy in the free-agent market, became profanity for Philly fans after all the investments and expectations proved worthless.

Fast forward to what general manager Howie Roseman and new coach Chip Kelly are doing ahead of the 2013 NFL season, and one thing's for certain -- we don't have to worry about Young saddling this bunch with the "dream team" label.

That's not to say the Eagles are making bad moves; far from it. They're just not making overly bold moves. Or ridiculously lavish moves. Or stupid moves.

They're going after low-risk players with a lot of upside, and they're not really spending a lot in the process.

The latest of those acquisitions came on Saturday, when the Birdsannounced they had signed 6-foot-7 wide receiver Ifeanyi Momah.

No, that's not a typo -- the dude's 6-foot-7, and he weighs in at 239 pounds.

Momah suffered a season-ending injury during the 2011 opener his last year at Boston College. He had eight catches for 157 yards in the game against Northwestern before a torn ACL ended his college career. He wasn't healthy enough to work out for scouts last spring and went undrafted.

Now, a year later, Momah looks healthy and moves well, having run as fast as 4.4 in recent workouts for NFL scouts. The Eagles liked what they saw, and gave Momah a three-year deal.

A wideout who's big and fast and can snag balls from the sky? We haven't seen that in Philly for a while.

Momah has five inches on the second-tallest Eagles receiver -- 6-3 Riley Cooper -- and he becomes the team's 13th wideout and the fourth the Birds have signed this offseason, joining Arrelious Benn, Nick Miller and DeMarco Sampson.

Height isn't everything, of course, and Momah may be a bit of a project for Philadelphia, particularly since he hasn't played in a game since September of 2011.

But it's tough to look at his recent workouts and his past accomplishments and not see a ton of potential that could pan out in a big way for the Eagles.

The signing is not anything that's going to inspire any "dream team" talk, and that's a good thing. Roseman and Kelly are assembling a roster that won't break the bank and could include more than a couple of surprising gems. Momah may very well be one of those.
