Wow, the EAGLES always seem to get guys back. I doubt he is the same player that he was before his injury though.

yeah, but he was before as a returner and I doubt that he will be the same returner before the injury, that's what I meant

I dont mind them bring him back in but this whole special teams situation with the returners kind of pisses me off. They HAD to see this in Bloom earlier in the pre-season and they let Bethel Johnson go only to have him sign with another team 3-4 days later. Reid is NOT the answer at KR or PR and neither is Greg Lewis, the dropped the ball on this one IMO.

Then they better grab him and bring in something in case Reed doesnt work out.

Exactly. This is just something it seems like Reid has failed to address since Brian Mitchell and I have no idea why...

actually he did draft JR Reed initially and then Bloom, but other than that I would agree with you.
