L.J. Smith Dropped
Like many of the passes thrown his way Eagles Tight End L.J. Smith will likely be dropped in the Eagles off season. According to the Philadelphia Daily News…
The Eagles will be scrutinizing the tight-end crop at next weekend’s scouting combine in Indianapolis. They have no intention of bringing back L.J. Smith and would like to find a decent blocking tight end in this year’s draft to complement Brent Celek. The problem is, beyond top-rated Brandon Pettigrew, of Oklahoma State, there aren’t many tight ends who can block.
Granted it would be great to a Tight End with blocking skills. But after having Smith as the starting Tight End I would just like someone who could catch the ball. A Tight End who could catch the ball and hang on to it would be a plus! Get someone with those skill and let the coaches teach some blocking skills.
