This has to be good news for Tapp owners, doesn't it? Obviously he'd probably only still be owned in very deep leagues.

I've always been a fan of Tapp - but I watch a ton of Hokies football.
Here's what I just posted in the SP Eagles thread:
The Hokie connections just keep on coming.
The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired DE Darryl Tapp for a 2010 4th round pick and DE Chris Clemons. Clemons, acquired from Oakland, was a disappointment for the Eagles since he signed as a free agent in 2008. The addition of Tapp is a strong one and he instantly becomes a strong candidate to contribute in 2010. Trent Cole desperately needed help on the other side of the front four, and the young Tapp (25) could do just that.

No kidding. It seemed he always was playing his heart out, and all they ever wanted to do was replace him. Glad to see he gets a fresh start, especially in a 4-3 front.

Looks like Tapp will be starting and playing 1st and 2nd downs at left end then leaving the field on 3rd downs for the rookie Graham.

Ugh. I can't find it. I was just surfing around and came upon that comment from I believe an Eagles beat writer.It does make sense though. Tapp is good against the run and Graham is a pass rusher. Thats why they moved up in the 1st round to get him- to get to the quarterback. Of course training camp and preseason games will sort everything out.

No worries - was mostly just interested in reading more. Appreciate the heads up. Seems like, if that happened, it would be a pretty big downgrade for Tapp, since (I think) most people would have viewed him as a potential pass rushing guy.

With the news that McDermott is thinking of using more 3-4 looks, is it possible that Tapp and Graham were acquired for their potential as 3-4 OLBs?

I don't think Tapp is the right build for OLB but maybe DE. R. Sapp on the other hand is slotted as the "elephant" (per Eagles.com)
Jeff Pasquino

That's correct. Sapp would be a Joker/4th LB in that situation. The 3-4 would be interesting in that their LBs would be OK to try this (Sapp at SAM, bring in Gaither to go with Bradley and Sims for 4 LBs), but Bunkley and Patterson aren't exactly your classic "3" DL guys. They'd still need a third, which I am not sure they really have. Cole moving in a bit to play 2-gap would not be a good use of him. Abiamiri might be able to do it, but I also think he lacks size. Tapp might be a guy they try there in that formation.

I should probably keep this under my hat but wondering what the IDP experts think of Chris Clemons value in Seattle.

Clemons is still a free agent in all my leagues. Is he a sleeper or a coma patient?

He should find out how his Uncle Charlie did what he did in 2001 and do it himself.Not available in my only league on MFL.
He does have 20 sacks in his career and has only started 3 games. Probably hasn't played much. ? 8 sacks with the Raiders in 2007 with 3 sacks in the 2 games he started. Looks like he knows how to get to the qb, not sure about the rest of his game.
