In a surprise (to me) move the Eagles cut, PR/KR Jeremy Bloom, the former Olympic skier who played two years of college football while also skiing. Also among the cuts was veteran punter Dirk Johnson, who lost his job to Australian rules player Sav Rocca, in what was the most interesting competition this preseason.
It was not a surprise that the Eagles, keep rookie TE Brent Celek, and rookie RB Tony Hunt. Although both probably won't see a lot of action during the regular season, both performed well enough during the preseason to get roster spots. It will be neat to see these two fine young players develop and become contributors to the team in the future.
I am sure Dirk will pick up a job somewhere this season, as he is a consistent punter, and holder, and still has a lot of boom left in his leg.
So the roster has been set, its time for some football (and the second guessing as well)
