This guy is already the most “versatile” player on the roster now that Kris Wilson is gone.

So the Eagles cut Collins so they could sign Kris Wilson……only to find out what we knew and cut him weeks later? BTW, is Wilson still on the Chargers active roster?

but no thanks. You can keep your Philly fullbacks

Per the Eagles blog on NJ.com:

Positives: Rare size for the fullback position. Short, stocky build that looks the part. … Reliable receiver who has the route-running and soft hands to be quite effective out of the backfield. … Developing blocker who displayed more physicality and toughness as a senior. … Effective short-yardage runner. … Attacks the line of scrimmage and runs with good forward lean.

Negatives: Will be making the transition to fullback after spending his entire WSU career at tight end. … Not a natural ball-carrier. … Lacks elusiveness and has only marginal speed for the position. … Still developing as a blocker and hasn’t always been as tough or physical as his size would indicate. … Will face up as a blocker, but doesn’t generate consistent movement.

You never know the guy could be a pretty good player another weapon

remember dunn he looked like and r&b singer trying to play fullback . or theo from the cosby show

But I don’t care about some scrub — Please give Pioli updates!!!

so exactly why are we signing players when we don’t have a GM. aren’t we potentially tieing ourselves up with players that the new regime might not want. Didn’t we fire Carl and his staff for a reason???

I dont know if i believe in farmer I give him credit for the job he did today but I wish we would have pulled for some free agents last year escpecially asante samuel, fanica ,and plenty more we missed out on it seems we are always last in on the bargains and one share the same opinion?

mean nothing really. I wouldn’t put much stock in Collins’ signing. We did the same thing last year.

are you kidding me you wouldent take those guys ? I do recall we lost a pretty big game against the chargers to a blown play by pat surtain , who was hurt all season if samuel is on our team who is a baller who is making a huge difference in some of the eagles big wins this season .With him and flowers in there wow we would be shut down. And there is a reason why we cannot run the ball well the name rudy ring a bell he is a rookie in there and way to tall with experience snapping the ball fanica waters albert wow pretty solid

at all if we are supposedly a spread team? Not sure why Herm would bother? Especially if he thought he was gone?

I can agree right now with faneca deal was way to much but then again larry would be running all over people we wouldent be in this situation and the corners well hey the would be shut down . I think at some point you have to sprinkle in some vets to help everyone out im just shocked how everyone is hitting the new comers hard cause they dont know who he is i can tell you right now if we announced that samuel was coming in we would be going nuts right now I would the guy is a champ and he has been there done that spend money get serious . Hopefully our new gm who ever it is he will be aggressive and get guys in here.
