Notes from today's workouts

[Philagape]

Notes: Backup quarterback J.P. Losman practiced, but declined to talk to reporters afterwards. Losman's agent, Gary Wichard, told the Associated Press in January that his client preferred to be traded, but stressed that Losman would play out the final year of his contract if there's no deal made. ... Starting left tackle Jason Peters, punter Brian Moorman and rookie fullback Mike Viti were the only players who weren't at the workout. ... Hardy made a nifty reception over veteran cornerback Terrence McGee along the right sidelines on a deep throw by Edwards. ... Linebacker Paul Posluszny was back on the field after a broken forearm he sustained in Week 3 last year forced him to miss the rest of his rookie season.

Evans on Hardy:
"I watched him play in college and he has tremendous ability," Evans said. "He does a lot of good things and a lot of things well. He uses his hands and he certainly uses his body. I'm certainly looking forward to him coming out here, stepping up, playing and making a lot of plays. I think he'll serve as a big compliment."

This must be a mistake because I'm pretty sure that Trent can't throw the ball downfield?

That is a myth based on one play in particular.

I give JP credit - only a true 'class act' would decline speaking with the local media. Hopefully he still stops to sign an autograph when his legions of loyal fans swarm him.

No one said that about Trent . You must've read wrong as usual. People say that about the Wiley unemployed.

It's not really based on anything.

There was a pass play or two last season where Edwards went deep and underthrew the ball a little. That did spark a few comments. I don't read too much into it. Edwards doesn't have Losman's cannon, but I think he's strong enough, and the offseason strength training should help him in that regard.

the guy has an arm. He just needs to use it more on a consistent basis.

Not from people who knew better.

He played terrific ball last year for us as our starting QB, but my only concern are the bad weather games, plus the "great" OC he had. I'm glad he is gone now.

you know.. I know your intending to make this thread all about Losman and in essence highjack the thread.

The problem is I agree with your point. I doubt he talks to the media all year either.

why keep a backup QB that has literally no chance of being back next year.. I dont care if he starts and throws 60 TDs this year, he will sprint from this city when his time is up.

Im still shocked they didnt land a true backup like Cleo Lemon, or take a look at Culpepper.

They're hoping someone's starter goes down and they can trade him. If that doesn't happen, you keep him for the year and sign one of the scrubs you mentioned NEXT year.

The film I saw on the local news looked encouraging. Edwards was hitting both Evans & Hardy in stride.

Well, deep is a relative term.
