Josh Andrews

Posted: September 5th, 2015 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 260 Comments »

The preseason finale is an interesting game. Some guys play a lot because the team simply needs them on the field to keep the team functional. Matt Tobin was the LT for the entire Jets game for this reason. Take him out and there is no other LT who could be counted on to give the QBs consistent protection.

Other guys play a lot to show the team whether they are worth keeping or not. John Moffitt played a ton for this reason.

Josh Andrews was the LG for most of the game. I didn’t realize that when watching live. I found this to be very interesting. Andrews spent 2014 on the practice squad. He can play G or C. Andrews lacks ideal size at 6-2, 310, but he’s not small. He isn’t a gifted athlete, but moves pretty well and is a good fit for the Eagles system.

I haven’t been able to re-watch the entire Jets game, but focused in on Andrews and watched the majority of his snaps. He played very well on Thursday. The first thing that stands out to me is that he’s tenacious. Andrews is going to block until he hears the whistle. Or the echo of the whistle. Andrews was good in pass pro, showing the ability to anchor vs DL. He was physical in the run game. He blocked well at the second level. I really liked what I saw. Chip Kelly gave Andrews an opportunity and he took advantage of it.

John Moffitt played his best game yet, but didn’t look so good that you felt compelled to keep him on the roster. The reason to want Moffitt is for his ability as a physical drive blocker. He didn’t show much of that this summer. There were flashes, but you just don’t know if that will ever come back.

The Eagles just might keep Josh Andrews on the roster. They could keep 9 O-linemen: the starters, David Molk, Matt Tobin, Dennis Kelly and Andrews.

* * * * *

The roster as of 10am:

QB – Bradford, Sanchez, Tebow
RB – Murray, Mathews, Sproles, Barner
WR – Matthews, Agholor, Cooper, Huff, Austin, Ajirotutu, Maehl, Martino
TE – Celek, Ertz, Burton
OL – Peters, Barbre, Kelce, Gardner, Johnson, Tobin, Molk, Kelly, Andrews

DL – Cox, Logan, Thornton, Curry, Bair, Hart, Allen
OLB – Barwin, Graham, Jones, Braman, Smith, D Watkins
ILB – Ryans, Kendrics, Alonso, Hicks, Goode
S – Jenkins, Thurmond, Maragos, Couplin
CB – Maxwell, Carroll, Biggers, Rowe, Rice

STs – Dorenbos, Parkey, Jones

The obvious choices to be cut are Freddie Martino, Jeff Maehl, Diaheem Watkins and Najee Goode. The Eagles are reportedly shopping Goode so that explains the hesitation there.

What’s with Watkins and Martino? Could be they’ve been told they’re cut and it just hasn’t leaked yet. We find out most cuts through agent or player leaks. If those agents are quiet, you have to wait for official team announcement. Neither guy showed enough this summer to make me think they are in serious consideration for the roster.

But maybe I’m wrong.

You never know if the coaches have seen something we haven’t. Meetings, practices and other behind the scenes work are part of the equation. My guess is that they’re gone, but we’ll see.

* * * * *

The Eagles could still be making moves.

Would be really surprised if the Eagles are done wheeling and dealing. Sounds like they're open fur business at numerous position groups

I'm getting many indications Tim Tebow is among the cuts by #eagles. Chip Kelly looking for QB and possible OL help.
— Howard Eskin (@howardeskin) September 5, 2015

I don’t think Tebow will be cut, but this is interesting info. Again, we’ll see what happens.

I could see the Eagles looking for OL help. Dennis Kelly could be upgraded. Andrews would be great to keep on the practice squad one more year for more development.

Keep Andrews and cut Molk! Then bring in another OL. But the important part – cut Molk! He’s played all right this preseason but I’m still traumatized by the flashbacks of him being forklifted right into the QBs lap last season.
2 James said at 11:02 AM on September 5th, 2015:
Molk is bad, and for a coach that loves his measurables, I find myself scratching my head over him still being on the roster.
3 D3FB said at 11:10 AM on September 5th, 2015:
Gabe Ikard got cut. If they want a backup C, I’d look there first.
4 Greg Richards said at 11:12 AM on September 5th, 2015:
Guy I’d take a look at on PS. I’d want a more established vet on 53.
5 D3FB said at 11:24 AM on September 5th, 2015:
Doug Legursky?
6 Greg Richards said at 11:27 AM on September 5th, 2015:
No, I’m waiting to see if the Falcons cut Asamoah. A few other possibilities but I don’t want to just throw out random names.
7 TommyLawlor said at 11:18 AM on September 5th, 2015:
I don’t get the dislike for Molk. He struggled a bit early last year, but got better the more he played. He and Kelce both get overwhelmed by some massive DL, but that’s the trade-off for having an athletic C.
8 Greg Richards said at 11:21 AM on September 5th, 2015:
To me, the difference is that Kelce would typically give up a little bit of ground but he’d then be able to re-establish his base before the QB was buried. Molk just gets pushed right back into the QB. I have only actually watched 1 preseason game this year. The other 3 I listened to the radio broadcast of. If he had improved his core strength, then perhaps Molk is deserving.
9 iceberg584 said at 12:20 PM on September 5th, 2015:
I blame Molk for the San Francisco loss last year. He was being driven back into Foles nearly every play.
10 GEAGLE said at 1:40 PM on September 5th, 2015:
He really was getting pushed into the QBs lap all year, no pressure is worse then pressure up the middle
11 bill said at 12:43 PM on September 5th, 2015:
I’ve been quiet about him this preseason since I haven’t really watched that much – he might be better. But last year, what I saw was a guy who had plus mobility for OL, but who was exceptionally weak at the point of attack. On the move, he was ok to good, but didn’t generally finish blocks even there. Inside runs and pass protection was, to put it mildly, bad. Totally overmatched, unless he got a lot of help.
12 GEAGLE said at 1:39 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Exactly…his mobility is irrelevant to me because he has to sacrifice way too much Power to be so athletic
13 stephenstempo said at 12:46 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Did you see the interview with him after the game ? It was comical. I think that might be part of it.
14 D3FB said at 12:53 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Gunn suckered him. It was a naive answer by a guy who hadn’t dealt with alot of jounalist (at least those that weren’t writing for the Michiganonier or whatever the hell the student paper is).
15 stephenstempo said at 3:43 PM on September 5th, 2015:
yeeeeah maybe but.. perhaps he should have tempered the whole “IT WAS GREAT” attitude after a crushing loss.. just saying.
16 D3FB said at 7:08 PM on September 5th, 2015:
The question was “David what was it like out there today?”
Molk responded that it was great to be able to go out and finally be able to play. Dissappointing loss but after struggling to make it in the league to finally be able to get to start was really exciting.
17 stephenstempo said at 1:14 AM on September 8th, 2015:
Yeah I get that. And yes it was very honest. That being said, you just lost. Maybe temper that a little bit with a throwaway “yeah I just think I need to get out there and do a better job.” Or a ” It was a tough loss but we’ll get back to practice moving forward.”
18 GEAGLE said at 1:38 PM on September 5th, 2015:
He is not good! He sacrifices too much strength to be as athletic as he is
19 Greg Richards said at 10:45 AM on September 5th, 2015:
If they’re looking for a QB, how about Austin Davis? Chemistry might already be there with Bradford. The Rams could use WR depth. Send Foles a familiar target in Jeff Maehl.
20 kevinlied said at 10:53 AM on September 5th, 2015:
Austin Davis fun fact: he walked on to Southern Miss’s football team and then started as a red shirt freshman.
His numbers are pretty good for a cast off, his intelligence and moxie are often touted, and he’s still young-ish. My rather uninformed opinion is that I’d prefer him to Tebow.
21 OregonDucker said at 11:20 AM on September 5th, 2015:
Maehl may stick. He catches TD passes and has some ST success. Toots has trouble with catches and is outstanding on ST. Special Team priority decides in Toots favor; good in both gives us Maehl.
22 James said at 11:24 AM on September 5th, 2015:
If Maehl makes this roster over Watkins I am going to laugh my ass off.
23 xmbk said at 11:37 AM on September 5th, 2015:
?
Don’t see the correlation.
24 James said at 11:40 AM on September 5th, 2015:
Watkins, a guy that was projected to be on the final 53 by almost everyone, only spent one year in the system as a rookie CB is being cut. This leaves a roster spot available, I’m projecting here. If Watkins is being cut then Maehl certainly deserves to get cut based purely on talent level.
25 xmbk said at 1:00 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Why? Maehl is better on st, can contribute on offense. If the coaches don’t think Watkins can contribute, roster spot is better spent on Maehl. Take it you don’t like him for some reason.
26 mheil said at 10:55 AM on September 5th, 2015:

27 JoeBlow said at 11:02 AM on September 5th, 2015:

29 Greg Richards said at 11:10 AM on September 5th, 2015:
Steelers first team to announce all their moves to 53. Didn’t cut anyone of real note. Signed CB Ross Cockrell, released by BUF at cut to 75.
Alejandro Villanueva appears to have made their team.
30 Tdoteaglefan said at 11:13 AM on September 5th, 2015:

31 JoeBlow said at 11:14 AM on September 5th, 2015:
lol, if you thought Watkins was a piss poor tackler…this dude wants nothing to do with bringing someone down unless they ain’t looking
32 GEAGLE said at 1:37 PM on September 5th, 2015:
They said he sucks so bad they won’t even put him on Practice squad
33 Tdoteaglefan said at 1:46 PM on September 5th, 2015:
lol, man I remember before the draft Mayock saying something to the effect of “he’s decent in coverage, had a record for interceptions this year..but he doesn’t want to tackle ANYBODY”
34 Patrick said at 11:18 AM on September 5th, 2015:
If there was ever a time for Howard Eskin to be right, the report regarding Tebow would be the perfect one. I cannot fathom how i’ll handle watching Tebow make the team, especially since we know he’ll be fucking active on gamedays to go 0-4 on PATs.
35 Richaud Jeaffreson said at 11:43 AM on September 5th, 2015:
Cody Fajardo got cut. I wonder if Chip tries to pick him up if they cut Tebow. They really seemed to like him.
36 Media Mike said at 11:44 AM on September 5th, 2015:
I hope not. He’s not even close to the type of passer you need to win in the NFL. Pure scrambling trash.
37 GEAGLE said at 1:41 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Did we have pre draft interest in him? Don’t remember
38 Greg Richards said at 11:53 AM on September 5th, 2015:
Jets cut Matt Flynn and Josh Johnson. I’d take either over Tebow.
39 Media Mike said at 11:54 AM on September 5th, 2015:
Flynn, yes.
Johnson, probably.
40 Bert's Bells said at 11:56 AM on September 5th, 2015:
You can pretty much say that about any 5th stringer that gets cut.
41 unhinged said at 11:59 AM on September 5th, 2015:
Flynn can do some things that Sanchez cannot, like throw to the best option more often than not, and I think he’s generally more accurate. Arm strength is his poorest metric. He could be what we all thought Barkley was.
42 D3FB said at 12:23 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Plus if we sign him to a big money deal it means that our starter will lead us to a super bowl victory.

62 Greg Richards said at 12:30 PM on September 5th, 2015:
One thing to keep in mind on Tebow and other players. If a vested veteran(not sure if Tebow qualifies, think he’s considered 4th year player) is on the roster Week 1 and they haven’t yet taken termination pay during their career, then their entire salary for the year is guaranteed. A lot of the big names you see released today(or next Saturday before Week 1) will be brought back after Week 1 is over.
63 Media Mike said at 12:31 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Tebow sure is a weak one.

Tebow has been cut
70 ian_no_2 said at 12:40 PM on September 5th, 2015:
It’s possible Diaheem and Martino have been cut already, but I can see a justification for keeping both around up til now or beyond. Diaheem is the only backup who’s a true OLB, the right size, who can rush the passer. Curry is rougher in coverage now, Smith is not getting to the passer, Jones is smaller (but serviceable in all phases). DW may have a good NFL career. Martino is fast enough to spread the field, and they may be entertaining offers for Coop, Ajirotutu, Maehl and/or Austin.
Holding a press conference two hours before the deadline seems very un-Chip to me, as he seems to be frugal about every possible advantage.
71 Greg Richards said at 12:42 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Martino made a vague tweet last night that might indicate he was cut. Or may not.
“Control the controllable.”
72 ian_no_2 said at 12:44 PM on September 5th, 2015:
I was reading Freddie Martino’s tweets too last night. As least I don’t have a gambling problem. I didn’t think that meant he was off the team. Certainly, he wasn’t expected to outlast Bailey.
73 GEAGLE said at 1:36 PM on September 5th, 2015:
I can’t believe we would keep Martino over Bailey

146 Iskar36 said at 1:15 PM on September 5th, 2015:
I love the thought process it seems most of the reporters are having with Tebow right now. To paraphrase, “If there is an injury, the Eagles will be able to quickly resign Tebow because he will not get signed by another team.”
In other words, “Yay! When it actually would become closer to a possibility that Tebow would actually play in a regular season game if Bradford goes down, that isn’t a problem at all. The other 31 teams in the league do not view him to be among the top 64+ (starter and backup per team) QBs, so we should be in a great position to go and get him still.”
Explain to me why it is a GOOD thing that no other teams would be interested in signing Tebow? Shouldn’t that be an indication that we should look elsewhere as well?
147 D3FB said at 1:16 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Because if your on your third QB you may as well say F it and go full blown single wing gimmick.
148 Iskar36 said at 1:16 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Hahahaha. Touche sir!
149 xmbk said at 1:19 PM on September 5th, 2015:
DC’s all over the league are going “Shit, we’re facing Bradford in the red zone instead of Tebow”.
150 Greg Richards said at 1:19 PM on September 5th, 2015:
As far as 3rd QB, the Browns cut Thad Lewis. Shurmur had him with both STL and CLE. They worked him out last November.
151 Media Mike said at 1:21 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Interesting name. He doesn’t run that often, so he checks off the only important box in my book.
152 Tdoteaglefan said at 1:28 PM on September 5th, 2015:
I remember watching him when he played a couple of games for the bills and he looked decent at times, I think I remember one of those games being against the browns..
153 GEAGLE said at 1:33 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Zac Dysert, Cody Fajardo, a few other names available
154 ian_no_2 said at 1:47 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Those two are PS eligible. Josh Johnson and Thad Lewis are not. Johnson has the best arm, Lewis better accuracy on wheel routes and timing patterns without deep arm.
155 A_T_G said at 1:24 PM on September 5th, 2015:
So, are they saving the last cut for the presser, or is Kelly going to say some things are still in flux?
156 Media Mike said at 1:24 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Bloody Flux?
157 BlindChow said at 1:25 PM on September 5th, 2015:

That indisputable IMO…
..
But if we need a safety to play in Atlanta, thinking Reynolds is a step ahead of Couplin in terms of being ready to play safety in an NFL game… Couplin has more upside and Couplin is the better ST player which I’m sure factored into the equation when key ST contributor Proz was cut…. Safeties, Linebackers and TE’s are typically the best ST players…
..
Hope Reynolds lands on the practice squad, he showed solid growth over this past year, like t see what he looks like after another year of practicing against the pro’s

184 GEAGLE said at 2:06 PM on September 5th, 2015:
I’m sure they did… I didn’t think we could get a draft pick for Goode, but I thought we had a chance of trading him for a player we valued that another team would be cutting so we can circumvent the waiver order… Oh well, no big deal…
..
Najee can play, I’ll be annoyed if he stays in this division
185 Greg Richards said at 1:37 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Interesting. Kelly said they have 10 LBs on roster. I doubt his math is bad, so he’s counting Curry as an OLB.
186 GEAGLE said at 1:57 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Our OLB becomes a 4-3DE on 3rd down, not uncommon to see curry lineup at 4-3 DE, so he has always taken a few snaps away from our OLBs..now he will start to get OLB snaps on 1st and 2nd down… Curry can rush from OLB, Marcus can drop and cover
..
With Curry and MS2 progressing as the year goes on, by mid season, we could end up having more OLB depth than we had last year
..
Vinny sounds pretty jacked up over more OLB opportunity
187 Media Mike said at 1:39 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Chip just said “you always only have 2 QBs dressed on game day”
That would seem to put to rest that he was going to keep Tebow active to do gimmicks.

Wow.
I wonder how bad Watkins looked on tape.
196 BlindChow said at 1:43 PM on September 5th, 2015:

lol after an entire summer of the #3 QB battle, both knuckleheads are gone..LOVE IT!!!
..
Tim Tebow turned out to be a “camp arm” replacement for GJ Kinney after all… Offseason would have been so much more enjoyable if reporters accepted Tebow for the camp arm he is instead of all the absurd noise about a battle between two scrubs…. At least it’s over!!!
..
Bring Tebow back next summer for a camp arm for all I care as long as media treats it in the proper context,,
..
The one decent thing about having Tebow is he gets attention so our 3rd string players are getting more attention then they normally would because of people wanting to see Tebow… Everyone watched our 3rd stringers play all summer because of Tebow.. At least young player fighting for an NFL career had plenty of eyes on them thanks to the camp arm..
229 Iskar36 said at 2:00 PM on September 5th, 2015:
The added attention those young 3rd string players got were from fans. NFL scouts and decision makers that would have the potential for affecting their careers were watching regardless of Tebow.

Dunno about not dressing Rice either.. Go into a live game with only 4 CBs? Yes I know Jenkins and Walter can move to CB but we don’t have any safeties in our bench that are ready to play safety in the NFL at the start of the season…

Can u really afford to go into a game with 4 corners? That would worry me
241 A_T_G said at 2:02 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Chip was very political and positive about Jalen, but I could see him viewing tackling as one of those non-negotiable points in Kelly’s direct, no nonsense approach: defenders need to be able to tackle. After all, the rest of what they do, how big they are, how fast, how quick to diagnose don’t matter if you can’t tackle. I can’t say I disagree.
242 Greg Richards said at 2:03 PM on September 5th, 2015:
Exactly what did he say about Jaylen? I didn’t see anyone tweet anything except him saying that you can’t worry about where a player was drafted when making roster decisions.
243 A_T_G said at 2:08 PM on September 5th, 2015:
From memory…
He said cutting a fourth rounder from last year isn’t that unusual.
He said once they are here he doesn’t look at how they got here, that only hurts the team.
He said Jalen didn’t do anything wrong, just that Rice and Biggers outplayed him.
244 GEAGLE said at 2:16 PM on September 5th, 2015:
If like to see chip spend 4th round picks worth investing more then 1 year into their development.. jaylens roster failure, is chips draft failure..
