The Good:<\/strong>\u00a0 Brian Westbrook is, apparently, way ahead of schedule and may even return to full-speed drills and practice with the first team within the next couple of days.\u00a0 This news is about as good as news can get.\u00a0 I have been proven wrong enough times now in my belief that McNabb is the most important Eagle that I have officially come around to the other side.\u00a0 Doogan, you’re right.\u00a0 You always were right.\u00a0 Brian Westbrook is far and away the most important player on this roster.\u00a0 And, to have him ahead of schedule in his recovery is fantastic news.<\/p>\nThe Bad:<\/strong>\u00a0 Stewart Bradley–out for the year.\u00a0 This is really, really bad, in my opinion.\u00a0 I really believe that Bradley was poised for a Pro Bowl season in 2009.\u00a0 He is one of (if not the) best young linebackers in football and now he has a torn ACL and is done for the year.\u00a0 Maybe they shouldn’t have had that “Flight Night,” or whatever they called it, in front of 25,000 fans in training camp.\u00a0 You can’t believe that the Birds weren’t completely fired up to play before their bodies were ready, which may or may not have led to the loss of maybe the most important player on the Eagles defense this year.<\/p>\n The (Potentially) Ugly:<\/strong>\u00a0 Jeremy Maclin just signed a massive contract with a $9 million bonus.\u00a0 DeSean Jackson is making $385,000 this year.\u00a0 Last year, he signed a 4-year, $3.8 million contract, Wow, J.A. Happ was incredible last night.\u00a0 (Just had to get that in before some Eagles talk.)

which is, by my math, less than half of Maclin’s SIGNING BONUS.\u00a0 Jackson has been working his tail off in camp, a year after setting Eagles rookie records in receptions and receiving yards.\u00a0 Maclin has missed 15 practices, while holding out for this massive contract.\u00a0 Apparently, their relationship has been described by one reporter as “testy.”\u00a0 Now, personally, I don’t really see this as an issue because, despite his ridiculous touchdown celebrations, Jackson did act with total professionalism last year.\u00a0 And, further, does it really matter if two receivers like each other?\u00a0 Aside from the occasional downfield block, they will never have anything to do with each other in a play.\u00a0 Obviously, it’s different if two linemen are at odds or a quarterback and his receiver.\u00a0 But, two receivers?\u00a0 Maybe it’ll just be some healthy competition.\u00a0 But, it is, at least, something to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
