I thought Dan Morgan or Kawika Mitchell was an intriguing candidate to join the Patriots as an ILB at some point, but Spikes would be perfect there.

Stewart Bradley time??

Gaither to WILL.Bradley in the middle.

Gocong SAM.

Debatable who comes out in nickel.

That's the $1m question I guess. Here's hoping Gaither gets his chance to stay in.

Thanks.

Gaither to WILL.Bradley in the middle.Gocong SAM.Debatable who comes out in nickel.

Between Bradley and Gocong most likely. Gaither had a role in the nickel and dime packages even when he wasn't starting. Still haven't seen enough of Bradley to make an educated guess with him. I'm not sure Gocong is good enough in coverage to stick and the signing of Clemons may take him out of the third down pass rushing picture.

At some point I believe Akeem Jordan is going to have some say in this. He played quite well in the last two games of the season.

Doubtful.Jordan is a ST at best. Too small to play a lot. Probably top sub at WLB but not much else. I will expect them to address LB in the draft and in free agency

While I'm not trying to be contrary for me it's a more "believe what your eyes see." Now granted it was only the last two weeks of the season, but what I saw is a LBer making plays all over the field including three tackles for loss. I'll defer to you as an Eagles homer in all this, but I'll stick to my guns in saying that Jordan looked the part in those 2 games. We'll see.

He looked good. Consider he had fresh legs in week 16 &17. He also spent most of the season on the Practice Squad.I hope he doesn't need to start but he is probably better than McCoy.

I have furniture that is better than McCoy.

I haven't seen Jordan play, but I agree with believe what your eyes see no doubt, an argument can be made Consider he had fresh legs in week 16 &17. He's on the light side, but he has some nice intangables. He may be nothing more than a st/role player, but prolly worth keeping an eye on and see how/if the Eagles address this in the draft. He is definatley a true sleeper

Jordan was just too good to take off the field. He makes plays and the Eagles no doubt had to give him his shot.

Ehh, good call. I wasn't impressed with the little I saw last season but he has looked good so far.
