He let the rookie Special Teams Coach make the calls and obviously that guy messed up. Almost cost him his job. Fullbacks don't really have an impact for this team, so my comment is ... snore.

They tried to get Randy Moss, offered him more money than NE and he stayed in NE. They tried to get Larry Fitzgerald and the Cards wouldn't trade him. They tried to get Roy Williams, and the Lions wouldn't trade him. There are no other top flight WR's out there, save for maybe Chad Johnson, that are looking for a new team right now. Darrell Jackson? DJ Hackett? Seriously? They are #2's at best and if the Eagles would sign them, the same people would blast them for taking someone else's #2 to be their #1.

Nick Cole as a short yardage back and klecko as his fullback. We're nearing the answer to the question "just how many lineman can Andy Reid play at once?". So it’s come to this.

As for WR, they went after the only true #1 available in Free Agency, and he stayed in NE. Hate to give the front office too much credit, but they've made attempts to get better at WR, and will hopefully continue to pursue their options via trade.

Many Eagle fans wanted Davis to beat out Tapeh last year, but the injury made the competition a little one sided. Besides, for the amount of time the Eagles spend in 3WR or double tight end packages his role will be just to block and play special teams. He still has some work ahead of him if he wants to make the team. They also have Jason Davis who was IRed last year in training camp.

Does andy reid really think he is so much smarter than the rest of the league that he can go into the season without a backup plan? Howd that work out last year when he thought he could convert greg lewis into a punt returner?? so klecko will be playing fullback fulltime for the birds… does that mean that he will be the eagles full time fullback?? does that make sense?
