    Per Rotoworld:

    He was claimed by Philadelphia today. Any Thoughts on who we sign to the practice squad to take his place.

    Eagles signed CB Roc Carmichael off the Texans practice squad.
    A fourth-round pick in 2011, Carmichael missed his entire rookie year due to a shoulder injury and never recovered. He'll add depth to the Eagles secondary with Brandon Hughes (hamstring) on short-term IR and can help on special teams.

    That sucks ass.

    Hopefully Brandon Harris develops faster and becomes more productive quicker considering he was drafted a round earlier than Roc.

    Brice has been really hurting our pass defense, he needs to step up his game after giving up TDs to both Kendall Wright and Eddie Royal... the latter on more than one occasion.

    I mean that is what we signed him for, to be our nickel corner especially against speedy guys in the red zone.

    I'm not disagreeing with you that McCain has clearly been the weakest link in the defensive backfield this season, but that throw by Locker to Wright was literally perfect. McCain had good coverage on that, but it was just a better throw and better catch. However, McCain's technique is pretty bad for a nickel corner, and I think that's where he's getting into trouble.

    If Ed Reed ever decides to return to the feild maybe we can slide him to play nickel and then move Swearinger or (can't believe I'm saying this) Keo? to the back end.

    Ed Reed is not a nickel/slot cover man at all.. he's a roamer.

    Lolwut? Why would you take an all-time great safety and move to corner?

    Hey Michael Jordan, we have hole at center. You have a decent post up game. We're gonna slide you over to the 5.

    Considering when and where he was drafted, I think it's time to consider putting the bust label on Brandon Harris.

    Roc isn't a loss. If a UDFA beats you out for your old spot, then your time has passed.

    On Harris, I don't know what's with the dude, but he clearly isn't learning. His mental errors are continuous and are mostly unprovoked by the offenses. We clearly need to draft a CB to become our future #2.

    JJo isn't going to be here much longer, and Kareem is already taking over the #1 CB position.

    Too be honest, It looks like JJ play is declining, while Jackson has improved
