Eagles Make Puzzling Move, Release Feeley for DT Dixon

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 14:55:00 -0500

Dixon (96) was a four-year player at "The U"So we reported here at 2M2MG.com that the Eagles would be trading quarterback A.J. Feeley. However, it appears as though the Eagles saw fit to instead cut the quarterback in favor of a rookie free agent defensive tackle from the Washington Redskins instead.Usually, I give Andy Reid and the rest of the Eagles front office the benefit of the doubt, but this is absolutely the wrong move.I felt comfortable in the report because it seemed as th...

Eagles claim DT Dixon, waive Feeley

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 13:11:00 -0500

After the Eagles released their 53 man roster yesterday, it became apparent that it was a work in progress. The Birds chose to keep only two tight ends and three defensive tackles while they had extra receivers and quarterbacks stashed away. It didn't last for long, as the Eagles made their first moves today to clean up the roster a bit, claiming defensive tackle Antonio Dixon, who was recently cut by the Redskins, and releasing A.J. Feeley.Dixon is a bit of a curious pickup for the Eagle...

Eagles cut DT Dan Klecko

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 13:35:00 -0500

It's cut day in the NFL, and the Eagles have made their first cut: defensive tackle Dan Klecko. Klecko, who signed with the Eagles a year ago to play fullback before converting to DT, spent one season with the Birds and recorded 4 tackles and 2 sacks as a part of the defensive line rotation. The Eagles likely let him go earlier than the rest of their players so they could give Klecko time to find a job elsewhere.Klecko was a casualty of Jason Babin having a stellar preseason with the Eagl...

The Gatekeepers

Nobody appreciates a fullback right now like an Eagles fan. No disrespect to Dan Klecko, but this team just went an entire season without a true lead blocker, and far longer since anyone even remotely effective has played the position. It's time to see what this offense can do with a different type of weapon in the backfield. Leonard Weaver instantly makes the Eagles better in two key areas: short yardage and red zone. We all remember the countless number of times the off...

Dan Klecko Signs with Eagles to play Fullback

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:07:16 -0500

The Eagles signed former Colts and Patriots defensive lineman Dan Klecko to a one-year contract. Klecko is a local guy, having grown up in Delaware Valley and gone to Temple. Klecko has primarily played defensive tackle in the NFL, but the Eagles plan to convert him to a fullback, a position he occasionally played for the Colts during their Super Bowl run. Klecko brings plenty of playoff and Super Bowl experience to the Eagles, having won three rings with the Colts and Patriots. It's unk...

Klecko Comes Home

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:19:30 -0500

As a pair of Temple students, Aaron and I are thrilled to hear that the Eagles have signed DT/FB and former Owl Dan Klecko to a one-year deal. Klecko played for the Indianapolis Colts last season and most recently played tackle, but the Birds will likely use his services as a fullback after parting ways with Thomas Tapeh recently.
