Eagles released former 2nd round pick Greedy Williams. No, he's not very good. Flat out bust, actually. But here's what's intriguing. He's experienced (started 21 games), long (6-2, 185), fast (4.37), young (25), and cheap ($1.3M per).
Word is he struggles in zone, but is better in press man, which is what Brian Flores likes to do. I don't know that he would even make the team, but I do know we came very close to losing both Blackmon and Evans this week and this super young secondary could use some experience.

And a completion, every fricken time.
These busts never pan out. Its not worth the flyer.

No, they never do, but we don't need him to be the player he was drafted to be. Just some experience at CB4 or 5. Thank God Evans and Blackmon are OK. If those two had gone down, it's pretty much season over.
That whole DB room gives me pause, starters & back-up's.
As of 8/20? I aint thumbing my nose at anyone.
They got a pulse? Can fog a mirror with their breath? Played pee-wee ball?
Bring em the hell in.
I know its just pre-season, but I had a bad feeling about this D in May and its getting badder. I dont know why Flores took the DC job up here with this level of personnel

I think that's exactly why he took it. There were pieces that don't often exist on a defense that just fired its DC. Flores mentioned Harry, Hunter, Asamoah, Cine, Evans and Booth.
In his mind, he probably thought if he could add some pieces--which he did in Davenport, Murphy, Pace--and improve that defense from 31st to, say, 21st or higher, that's going to look very good on his resume, and why he turned down a HC opportunity (as bad as it was) to helm our defense.

What HC did he supposedly get an offer from again?
Was it the Cards? I might have turned that franchise down too with the decisions they've made the last couple seasons.
Viking purple turns turds into gold!
That's what the fans keep imagining anyway. =)

Yep, the Cards. A bad situation. Still, it was a head coach position.
