When asked about the assistance he has received from fellow linebackers Jeremiah Trotter and Mark Simoneau, Eagles' rookie linebacker Omar Gaither responded:
"I'm learning from two of the best in the NFL."
Of course, Trotter is one of the best middle linebackers in Eagles' history, but Simoneau??? This kid must be trying to kiss up to the veterans so he doesn't have to sing "Rocky Top Tennessee" as part of his rookie hazing. Simoneau is lucky to make this team in my opinion. He pretty much adds nothing to the team despite the Eagles' claims to the contrary. The best part of training camp so far has been the littany of funny quotes like this thus far.
Actually, it does sound like Gaither is having a good camp, but his size and speed tells me that he will likely top out as an Ike Reese like contributor on special teams.
