    Hope he recovers, the team finally started trusting him and he made a great play for Matt Schaub's lone TD in two Post season appearances.

    As for Kevin Walter, technically, dude has caught the balls that were thrown his way and on one play Schaub opted to throw it away rather then hit a wide open Walter after he surprisingly escaped one of the Patriots. Schaub and the play calling I put on for our issues, sadly one mearly has to look at how Crabtree has become a factor with a different QB or OC will help the rest of the receivers develop.

    Look how much DeMeco lost with his. Took him two years to recover... and he was never the same again.

    He is his team leader in tackles on a very bad Eagles team and was in the top 20 for tackles in the entire NFL.

    Ryans is fine and was getting back into form by the time of the playoffs during his last season with Houston. People just use that excuse because he was too expensive to keep and not big enough to play the standard role of ILB in a 3-4.

    Posey will probably miss the 2013 season.....hopefully there is some insurance type money set aside to bring in his replacement....

    He is horrible in pass coverage after his injury.

    I think the jury's still out on Demeco's recovery, but it's clear outside of probably AP, it will be awful slim that one can go from surgery to effective play within a year's time.

    In a defense where everyone's talent was wasted, I don't think any of those guys should be written off. If the Eagles clean house, I think there's some gold to be mined from that defense.

    Yea, I thought he had a good season. Just wasn't sure.

    He was really expensive last year for the % of snaps he played :p

    I wouldnt be too worried about his future...he's a young kid and has plenty of opportunity to play at a high level.

    The sad part is that he was progressing so nicely. He was starting to put it together and actually make some nice plays. I think he would have come into the next training camp with a ton of confidence and with a much bigger role next season.

    Totally sucks...wish him well in his recovery.

    hope he can make a full recovery. I think he can be a solid WR even if he loses some of his top end speed

    I'm hoping for speedy recovery as well, Guy definitely showed he was able to get open on this level and make things happen.
