I think the fact that Ryan Moats only has 4 receptions for 7 yards over his three years with the Eagles is what will kill him. There's no room for a RB that can't catch in the Eagles offense.

I don't think there is any way the Eagles will keep 5 RB's, some years they only keep 3. If they keep 4, one will be inactive all year. I won't be suprised to see both Moats and Tony Hunt gone.

I don't think the Birds will cut bait with Hunt just yet, despite what was a disappointing rookie season.

If Philly keeps just 3 backs, I'd wager it'd be Westbrook-Booker-Hunt.  If they go with 4, I wouldn't be shocked if they parted ways with Buckhalter and picked up a less expensive veteran option.

i think i might be more disappointed in Andy/Marty not getting Hunt the ball more. 10 carries, yes a very low 1.6 avg. Give the guy at least 30 carries next year. lets see what he can do, and i need more then 10 carries to see that and count him out. Before the Booker trade I was hoping for more like 40-50 carries for Hunt in 2008.

1 TD in 10 carries.

I would be surprised if Hunt got cut. I knew when we got Booker that Moats was gone.

Hunt is supposed to be the BIG back that gets the tough yards, but as Sue pointed out, if ya can't catch . . . . . . . . well, let's just say Andy doesn't like you very much.

I see it being Westbrook, Booker, Buck, and Hunt. Balanced and only ONE that cannot catch out of the bunch.

I don't see Reid & Co. NOT carrying four this year due to the fact that no one will really know how Booker is gonna play out until the real games start up. He looks good in shorts and I guess film gives you some idea, but HOW does he play in Andy's system. I don't know as we chance it with just Buck and his injury history, Westbrook and his once a year injury thing (We use him a lot to guys), and Booker (still an unknown). At least Hunt knows the system now and he truly HAS NOT has the time opportunity to show IF he can produce in this offensive scheme.

Moats is gone though IMO.

The problem is he can't pass protect. So if he's in there and teams know he can't pass protect he's a liablity. They know it's a run or they are going to get a sack. That's why he only had 10 carries. If he wants more carries he needs to learn to pass protect or he won't be an Eagle that much longer.
