The Mercury Mobile : EAGLES: Hawkeye record setter McNutt trying to capitalize on Cooper injury
From article:
"It's never good when you see a fellow teammate or a friend or a brother go down like that," McNutt said. "You always want to have competition and you never want to see competition go away like that.
"But I definitely feel like I get an opportunity to show what I want to show to the coaches more. And with that just comes a lot of learning and being up on top of your game at every point."
Instead of going outside for a big veteran wide receiver such as Plaxico Burress, Reid said he wants to see what his young guys can do, starting with McNutt (6-3, 216), who physically is almost a clone of Cooper (6-3, 222). After playing alarmingly slow in Organized Team Activities, McNutt has turned it up a notch as he's gotten more familiar with the offense.
"He's a big kid, too," Reid said. "He's not going to look like DeSean coming off (the ball). He's a bigger body but he's very physical to the ball. When you put the pads on, that's his game; where you can have the physical part of it in there."
