Wilson’s inability to consistently catch passes will be his downfall. Offensive tackles (Five): Tra Thomas, Jon Runyan, Winston Justice, Franklin Dunbar, King Dunlap - The Eagles will carry three tackles into the season. Dunbar and Dunlap's best opportunity will be spots on the practice squad. Having Justice learn and practice the guard position gives him the nod. Guards (Seven): Shawn Andrews, Todd Herremans, Max Jean-Gilles, Scott Young, Mike Gibson, Mike McGlynn, Stefan Rodgers - The Eagles will carry four guards into the season Andrews, Herremans, Jean-Gilles, and McGlynn make the cut. McGlynn’s versatility at the tackle position gives him the nod. Centers (Two): Jamal Jackson, Nick Cole - The Eagles will carry two centers into the season. Cole is a dependable backup behind Jackson. Defensive ends (Seven): Trent Cole, Darren Howard, Victor Abiamiri, Chris Clemons, Jerome McDougle, Juqua Parker, Bryan Smith - The Eagles will carry five defensive ends into the season. Cole, Howard, Abiamiri, Clemons, and Parker are your pass-rushing threats. Howard’s versatility in playing the tackle position allows him to stick around.

A year on the practice squad will allow Smith to bulk up and learn the DE and LB positions. Defensive tackles (Six): Brodrick Bunkley, Mike Patterson, Montae Reagor, Dan Klecko, Trevor Laws, Kimo von Oelhoffen - The Eagles will carry five defensive tackles into the season.

Let's start with Dana's big announcement I truly believe that Dana had planned on announcing the UFC in New York. He made a rookie mistake and counted his chickens before they hatched.

Now he is in a pickle, and he has to deliver something major to the fans.If New York doesn't cooperate, Dana will have to go to plan B.Dana knows he screwed up and unless he has a major announcement to make he needs to do something to make the fans forget about the announcement he now can't make.How does a free event on Spike sound? He's even going to sweeten the deal and give us a PPV-quality bout for FREE! Suddenly people start forgetting about earth-shattering announcements that never happened.July 19th is thetentative date for this free show on Spike. If right now your trying to remember what you're doing that night, let me help you out Affliction. The date is the same night that Affliction: Banned is scheduled to happen.That's not a coincidence.Dana White has been accused of a lot of things, but sometimes you have to admit the guy knows what he's doing. During the CBS Elite fight Spike TV and the UFC presented a special on Chuck Liddell and followed it up with the Liddell vs Silva fight. My TiVo was very busy that night.White is looking to pull viewers away from Affliction's PPV by offering up a free show on Spike.
