I am a little surprised they cut Gilyard because of his strong preseason showing, but Damaris Johnson is the real unexpected WR gem for the Eagles this preseason.

He’s already played in 11 games for the Rams and thus can not be signed back to a practice squad.

Boykin does both, making the decision easy.

Johnson makes the team, Hall has already been notified of his release. The biggest question at WR is Cooper or McNutt.

Gilyard is a joke, and only shines against inferior competition. Watching camp practices was enough for me to see he can’t handle real CB’s.

The cutting of Chris Polk will be the hardest move. Him or Anthony Dixon. Both will end up on another team and be solid NFL players.

Still not sure how he’s in the NFL. They should stash Gilyard on the practice squad for when DeSean Jackson gets injured.
———————————————————-
Chad Hall has been cut too (according to Jeff McLane). So has TE Brett Brackett.

He does a little bit of everything but isn’t very good at anything. Andy Reid seems to value guys like that for some reason. As for Cooper, he hasn’t showed me anything, but they value him on Special Teams.

Showed he can play the position. Both Gilyard and Damarius Johnson should make this team..or at least one of them. McNutt should make this team as well. The Eagles are hung up on Chad Hall and Riley Cooper who both never perform when they need to.

Reggie Wayne dropped three passes in one game on Madden, you think the Colt’s should drop him too?

Gilyard can catch the deep throw and also has crazy speed. Also Hansen I wont be surpirsed if the Dolphins scoop him up real quick.

So I wouldn’t make too much out of it this time. As for Gilyard, I think he showed enough to make the Practice Squad.

Actually, I’m a little surprised about Gilyard. I thought he showed some nice flashes in the preseason.

He didn’t show as much as damarius Johnson, so the kid got the boot. No one should be surprised

You get burned left and right in Madden coverage too.

Good luck to you finding a new team.

I really liked Gilyard, possibly more than I liked Riley Cooper.

Best of luck to ALL players getting cut in these final hours. Really appreciated you all throwing it all on the line this preseason.
