Cornelius Ingram To Philadelphia

First of all — why do you hate the Birds? You better not be a Cowgirls fan or my days of reading this amazing blog are done (kidding).

CI will be a solid pro — and I agree that he might even be better than Harvin. But, that’s saying an awful lot.

CI tore up highly regarded LB James Laurinaitis in the first title game (I love saying that ) and showed his ability to be a fantastic 3rd down guy in 2007.

The Iggs will require a lot out of him — especially in the blocking department. This is the most difficult aspect to pick up as the guys that play on Sundays are bigger/faster/stronger etc. He’ll do well, I hope, and break the Kearse in Philly that has the town hating Gators (Lito, Jevon).

Solid pick and I’m stoked to see how well he plays. Can’t wait to pick up my CI jersey in midnight green.

OK — good to know the genius of your Eagle hatred — and it is totally acceptable — I hated the Bucs in the ’90s. Becasue they were so good and killed us in nearly every NFC title game we made it to.

As far as Lito goes — I love the guy — but in the Igg’s D you have to be able to tackle and cover — which he seemed to do for only one year (the Super Bowl Year) and never decided to do again — strange. I wish him all the best in NY.

After speaking to some Philly guys — they are totally pumped about landing CI. They love his talent — his work ethic and his character (switched from QB to TE after Jesus showed up). While they haven’t come out and said it — they are really focusing on his basketball experience as well (Gates, Gonzalez). While they don’t " expect" a lot from him — they are giddy about landing him so late in the draft and his upside. Also — nary a word about his knee, too — which is also great. I liked CI more than Troupe — and that’s saying a lot.
