Watkins Inactive Again for Season Finale

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Eagles decided not to activate 2011 first-round draft pick Danny Watkins once again Sunday, in the season finale against the Giants.

Watkins lost his starting job to veteran Jake Scott last month, and for the final two games, he was not among the subs activated for the game.

Other inactives Sunday are WR Greg Salas, OL Matt Kopa, RB Chris Polk and three guys we knew were injured and weren't playing -- TE Evan Moore, DT Fletcher Cox and LB Mychal Kendricks. With Moore out, Brent Celek's only backup is rookie FB/TE Emil Igwenagu.

What a waste of a 1st round pick! How does Howie Roseman still have a job after that selection? Oh, that's right, he saved Lurie 20 plus million in Cap money this year! So there are advantages to having an "Accountant" as your Talent Evaluator. It just never shows as wins on the Football Field!! And just think, this BOZO GM has 5 more years on his contract and he gets to pick the Head Coach. I wonder what kind of "LOSER" will agree to coaching in Philadelphia, while having an Accountant select his Players? Players like Mr Overwhelmed, Danny Watkins, a 1st round bust who can't play a lick even if, God forbid, he's activated. You might as well keep Arrogant Andy as Coach, with that peek into the future!
