WR Greg Salas makes his Eagles debut tonight. Salas has had a terrific Training Camp and really opened some eyes. He is a legit threat to make the roster. CSN took a look at what he’s done this summer.
“He’s bounced around, but he’s done a really good job for us in camp,” offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said. “He’s got a good feel for running routes, he’s very competitive at the line of scrimmage and he does a good job of catching the football. He’s showed up very well in this camp. … I think he’s like a lot of guys who have a good feel for the game, and that gives them a good chance to make plays. There aren’t very many guys who are going to run right by people, so you make up for it by being able to catch the ball in traffic and run good routes, and he’s been doing that.”
Interesting note here. Who did Greg Salas catch his first NFL pass against and who made the tackle?
He caught a pass late in the Eagles blowout of the Rams back in 2011. And none other than tackling machine Jarrad Page chased him down. I know many of you think this must be a lie since Page making a tackle seems so unlikely, but archaeologists have discovered some paintings from a cave wall that depict the play. See below.
Looks real to me.
and he caught a bubble screen no less…it is like a predictive sign of Chip Kelly and Salas arriving in Philly together…hopefully we will see a lot of Salas doing this all year…
Love the end where Juan looks a little confused.
