How Low Can You Go?

Eagles special teams, so competent and so influential in seasons past (see: Westbrook, Brian, punt return vs. Giants, or Sand Diego, Field Goal blocked…touchdown), has sunk to this. As USA Today neatly captures the it: “Wanted: punt returner. Requirements: catch the ball. The Philadelphia Eagles don't need a return specialist with game-breaking skills. They just need someone who knows when to call a fair catch or when to simply let the ball bounce.”

It’s so bad the Eagles aren’t even worrying about how many return yards they can get, they just want someone who can catch the ball. Jeez, by that standard Jeremy Bloom or, dare we say Reno Mahe, are looking pretty good right now.

What a mess.
