Peter King’s Report From Lehigh
Sports Illustrated’s Peter King, the preeminent NFL sports writer of our times, has dispatched his Eagles Postcard. Below are his final notes - with the article being a must read.
Parting Shots
• The Eagles hope rookie Trevor Laws, who looks a little smallish for the NFC East wars, can be the third DT in a rotation with Brodrick Bunkley and Mike Patterson.
• Darren Howard is in the best shape of his life. He could be the missing defensive end Jim Johnson thought the Eagles bought from New Orleans two years ago. He’s given them only six sacks in two years, so that’s why they went out and got Clemons.
• DeSean Jackson, counted on to be a returner and deep-threat, third-down receiver, isn’t doing himself any favors by staying out of practice. Reid said he needs to be practicing. But Jackson injured a hamstring at a June mini-camp in Philadelphia and re-tweaked it Sunday.
• Asante Samuel also has a hamstring strain. No one’s very worried, but he walked off the practice field Tuesday morning with a slight limp.
• McNabb is happy. Seems carefree and his usual cutup self.
