HERZLICH GOES IN THE 2010 TOP TEN - TOO SOON?

Even before the smoke has cleared from the 2009 NFL Draft the mock 2010 Drafts are out. SI.com has Herzlich going number 7 overall to the Cleveland Browns. Where as CBS has him going number 4 overall. I've checked other sites that have him going in the top 40. Let's be honest, it is too soon.

My thoughts... "Herzlich...Great job in the spring game...Hit the weights this summer...Follow coach's orders...Rest up...Enjoy yourself...Get ready for the best season of your college career." 

The only time that Herzlich needs to worry about Draft day is the day after the Eagles win the bowl game. That goes for me too. I'll just report the circus.

Congrats to all of the Eagles Free Agents. 

SHOT OF HERZLICH FROM THE SPRING GAME

This guy is a monster! Check out this photo of Herzlich from yesterday's spring game at Alumni Stadium. The crowd was small, probably due to the NFL draft and the Red Sox game, but that didn't deter Herzlich from having a big day. Mark lead the Eagles defense to a victory over the offense contributing 9 tackles, one for a loss, and three pass breakups. I pray for the team's sake that the offense gets their shit together and we have a quarterback step up. Lets go Eagles.

In other news... I mentioned yesterday that B.J. Raji was selected 9th by the Packers but I failed to mention Ron Brace's fate. Congratulations Ron! "Ron Brace Yourself" was selected 40th overall by a team that you might have heard of...that's right. The New England Patriots! Ron will be close to home next season and I'm psyched for him. Well done Ron.

SPRING GAME WRAP UP

I know that most of you were busy with the details of the NFL draft or might have been on your way to the Red Sox Game. But the Eagles had their annual Jay McGillis Spring Game this afternoon. And the results are in. Herzlich lead the defense with 9 tackles, one for a loss, and three pass breakups. But it comes as no surprise to me that the defense dominated the offense in this spring game. We are going to need to have some young guys step up and create some opportunities so that we don't have the defense in the field for the whole season.

I would have loved to had watched it but the internet plugin wouldn't work for me. Was anyone able to watch the live stream?

Boston just went up 13-11. Go Sox!

CONGRATS RAJI - GO PACK

With the 9th overall pick of the 2009 NFL Draft the Green Bay Packers have selected Boston College's B.J. Raji. I see Raji making a huge impact on the Packer's new 3-4 defense. I know that we're gonna miss him. Congrats B.J.! Enjoy the time with your family. If you missed the selection check it out here.

In other news...BC had their big spring game today. I'll have more info on that after I stop jumping up and down.

Did you go? 

JAY McGILLIS MEMORIAL SPRING GAME - 4/25

Well tomorrow is the annual Jay McGillis Memorial Spring Game and family fun day Flynn Recreation Complex, directly across from Alumni Stadium. The fun starts at 11:00am and kickoff is scheduled for 1:00pm. For those of us that won't be able to make it to the game, BC Athletics is streaming it live on their website, here, starting at 1:00pm EST.

Please be sure to hang around after the game for the autograph signing and be sure to stop by and meet Mark. Let me know what you think about the team.

Who do you think should start at quarterback this season?

FOCUS AND FINISH

This is too good. Scroll to 1:45 and check out the hands. Mark drops back and reads the route as if he's running it himself. Plus the move that he puts on the guy before he gets in the end zone. Damn. Can I say that Herzlich could be a nice tight end? I know I'm not the first guy to say that. You have to watch this video to the end. Not only are there some kick ass graphics and a huge explosion, look at the bumpers of the guys with their arms crossed. Too good. 

Also. There's a break in the video then a very weird section highlighting new head coach Spaziani as the old defensive coordinator. Kinda Cool. Enjoy.

2008 MARYLAND MONTAGE

Check out this defensive montage from the 2008 Maryland Game. Mark gets some good face time in the bizarre montage in the end, including an inverted clip that makes him look like a neon hype man. Scroll to 1:43 and check out the spin move off the line. Can't wait to see the stronger faster 2009 version. Go Eagles!
