time2rock Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 A new / old CB has been added to the roster. It is being reported we've claimed CB Mac McCain off waivers from the Broncos. McCain was on the team earlier in the season until being waived earlier this month. Has been yo-yo'ing between our roster and Denver's. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/11/24/eagles-claim-cornerback-mac-mccain-off-waivers-from-broncos/ We now have 13 DBs on the roster. For those keeping track, that is whopping 25% of the active 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. He was not drafted, but was the last man to be cut on the Denver roster prior to cutbacks. Definitely needs more development, but not a waist. Would love to see him contribute to special teams, until he is mature enough to show some game time moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn7980 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Howie is betting on the number. If the success rate is low on finding a gem, he expands the pool to boost his chance of success. At the end, he still has to spend some capital to land a top CB or 2 from the draft. Our 2 outside starters are imported vets, whom they can't count on for long term.

brkmsn Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 There's absolutely nothing wrong with developing projects. The only difference between now and a couple years ago is that injuries haven't forced these guys to start upon arrival. I think many of us have a lot of questions about Gannon and his defense, but one thing he was praised for when we brought him in is coaching and developing DBs. While the defense itself has been downright bad at times, a couple players like Slay and Maddox are having their best years. I think Gannon's experience there has helped bring out the best in these guys and having some projects developing behind them while they are here is a good strategy. There's no doubt we'll be looking at DB at draft time if we aren't comfortable with the development of these prospects. The future for Slay and Nelson on the Eagles is uncertain and so is Gannon's. I believe this is a prudent strategy by Howie and nothing to be mocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
