I don't care what catch rating he has if it's above all of the other WRs on the team . . . Riley Cooper will take playing time from Hank Baskett. LOL NOT Avant.

no way in He!! should DJax have 92 catch. if anything he should be the one with 82

(kind of my point) I think he had 5 drops last season, 84 Cth Maclin with 86 or 87 and Avant anywhere above that is fine with me

From nfltouchdown

"Throughout the first three years of his career with the Eagles, Avant was the type of player whose impact seemed under the radar. He was one of the most reliable 3rd-down players in the NFL, yet never seemed to be recognized for the credit deserved."

"After 2009, Avant showed how important of a role he can play in the Eagles’ offense and making his case to receive a long-term deal this offseason. He set career marks in just about every category, including receptions (41), receiving yards (587), and touchdowns (3)."

"Without Avant, it’s safe to say Philadelphia would never have made the playoffs this past season. Throughout his four-year career, he has been one of the best 3rd-down players and is arguably the best slot receiver in the NFL. If anything, the Eagles should consider Avant simply just for his ability to convert third down conversions. In four years, 32 of his 37 catches on 3rd down resulted in a 1st down."


I'd say this above earns him the nickname.. Why don't the Cowboys fans focus on something relevant to them.. Like how about making the NFC Championship Game?? Refresh my memory, when's the last time that happened?

[GoEagles614]

The reason Avant isn't starting as an X or Y WR is because his spot IS the slot. The Eagles pretty much run 3 WRs most of the time anyway. He is a great slot WR, and his hands a ridiculous. Maybe you have to watch it to understand. Mike Wallace will e the Steelers #2 WR since Santonio Holmes is gone, and let's see if he stays consistent (I hope so)
