What's your opinion about... Montae Reagor (DT)

[Phoenix-Talon]

Thought I'd get a "real deal" perspective from opponent fans about Montae Reagor.

Why am I asking Cowboy fan when I know how you feel about the Eagles ...well that's hard to explain. While I don't care a lot about a lot of Cowboy fans, ...but the Cowboy fans I do care about ...I care about a lot!

So it's worth sithing through to get to information.

That said ...
The Eagles turned their attention to defense Tuesday as they welcomed free-agent defensive tackle Montae Reagor to the NovaCare Complex. Reagor met with the team on Tuesday amid reports that the Eagles have agreed to terms on a three-year deal.

However, there is no official word on the prospect of signing Reagor. He will meet the media late Wednesday morning.

DT Montae Reagor The 6 feet 3, 285-pound Reagor spent the last four seasons with the Colts. However, he missed Indianapolis' title run due to injuries suffered in an October automobile accident.

Who???

 

[JonCJG]

Take it back..... looking at just stats he is Michael Myers.

6"3 285 16 sacks in 9 seasons.

He's below average and undersized.

Can't recall him when I think of the Cowboys, Colts game this year.

He fits the Eagles scheme. He can be moved around on the line playing tackle and some end. He is not a blockbuster, big name guy, but he can fit with what Jim Johnson likes to do.

Funny.

He didn't play in the SB because he was injured In an automobile accident.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

I just DO NOT see him as a difference maker, however, he will be solid and be good leader in the locker room--which is important.

 

[hendog]

I think it would be a GREAT signing for you guys. Then line him head up in front of Leonard Davis.

Appreciate the insight. Looks Like he did indeed ink a deal ...

Report: Reagor signs with Eagles


phillyBurbs.com

Defensive tackle Montae Reagor, released by the Indianapolis Colts in a salary cap move earlier this month, has signed with the Eagles according to a report on ESPN.com early this morning.
According to the report, Reagor, 6-2 and 280 pounds, visited the Eagles on Tuesday and apparently passed a physical. He is expected to sign a three-year, $8.3 million contract.

The Colts cut Reagor, who missed most of the 2006 season after an automobile accident in October, on March 2 to avoid paying him a $1 million bonus and to save $3.9 million against their 2007 salary cap.

He's a good player, definitely has some ability. Could be good for the Eagles (good scheme, coach) and then crummy on a crummy defense. So you can't "worry" about a team signing a guy like that because it happens, but hopefully the interior OL on Dallas can handle him.

 

[DCBoysfan]

He is a solid player if he is healthy, he can fit in the your teams DL roatation.

That's actually what I was thinking.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

It's a good move.

Unfortunately, the Eagles are actually run very well. Too bad they aren't terribly mismanaged like the Skins.

 

[Blue&Silver]

He's a good penetrating DT with a quick first step. There's more to this move that meets the eye.

He's a Darwin Walker clone for the most part. Good pass rusher, not so great against the run. He'll probably be used on passing downs. What's that mean for the existing 5 DT's though? Philly likes Patterson, Bunkley, Ramsey, Walker. Does this mean they trade Rayburn? Walker? I have a feeling 1 of those guys are gone. I doubt you keep 6 tackles.

He's right small for a DT, but might work in the Iggles' scheme... I do hope you're not looking for a lot of pass rush from him, his season best is 5.5, and he has 16 sacks in 92 games... doesn't rack up a lot of tackles either, his 2 best years were 04 and 05, when he had 77 tackles in 29 games... for his career, he's had 162 tackles in 92 games... he's not what you call a big play machine, with 4 fumbles forced and 7 fumbles recovered in those 92 games... he's also had 1 int, but we don't really look for ints from the DTs, do we?? LOL...

You might also want to consider that the Colts haven't exactly been a powerhouse defense these last 4 years...

I think he'd work best in a DT rotation... I think at 285 pounds, he might wear down if he has to take too many snaps... but he has some quickness, might be good for the odd play or two...

I wouldn't look for him to be makin' too many trips to Hawaii, though...

You seem to have some above average football savvy.

This guy, if healthy (and he did pass a rigorous physical) needs to add penetration to OLs.

I believe Rayburn and Walker may be trade fodder.

The Eagles must look to solidify the LB position ...Trotter needs help.

Thanks Silverbear. That's pretty straight shooting.

That 285 pounds in a rotation is enough to wear down the average OL in a rotational defensive system

 

[InmanRoshi]

He'll fit in well in Johnson's 1 gap system as a rotational player. The Eagles got him for a good price. But know that Dungy did everything in his power to upgrade over him during his time in Indianapolis (Booger McFarland and Corey Simon trades)

 

[t.o.boys81]

I actually think Reagor is a great fit for Philly. Philly doesn't need a superstar on their line since they already have The Freak. Nice pickup.
