Because of the trouble that both Tiki and Ron Dayne have had in goal-line situations, do you think Mike Cloud could become a vulture? He seemed to excel in those situations with the Pats last year.
Also, in your analysis, you mention the new corners for the Eagles. The only new corner is rookie Matt Ware, and he will likely be deactivated on Sunday. The nickel back is Roderick Hood and he is in his second year, but saw action in about 3/4 of the games last year. The starting corners are both 3rd-year guys with quite a bit of experience.
Did both Brown and Sheppard start every game last year? No. That is what I was referring to my friend.
I got this off Yahoo. This is what I was referring to:
Third-year pros Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown are the new starting cornerbacks after Philadelphia let Pro Bowlers Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor leave via free agency.

It's just that everyone keeps referring to the corners as "new"... they're not new, they've started a number of games already and are in their third years. (Will Allen and Will Peterson are both in their fourth years, I believe, so they've only got one year experience on the Eagles two.)
Anyway, they've got enough experience that it shouldn't be an issue.
