PHILADELPHIA -- Danny Watkins can put out fires full-time now. Barry Church Cowboys Jersey . A former first-round pick who was a firefighter before the Philadelphia Eagles drafted him 23rd overall in 2011, Watkins was released Saturday. He started 18 games at right guard in two seasons before losing his job early last year. "A change of scenery was necessary for him," general manager Howie Roseman said. "The pressure of being a first-round pick in Philadelphia, how he internalized that, the way for him to get his career back on track is to go to a new place and both I and Chip (Kelly) told him that today." Watkins was a surprise pick by former coach Andy Reid two years ago. The Kelowna, B.C., native played hockey and rugby in high school and had more experience as a firefighter (five years) than a football player (four) when the Eagles selected him at age 26, making him the oldest first-round pick since 1980 at that time. There were questions about Watkins passion to play the game and whether he turned to football just to make money. "Part of his personality, him being a firefighter, is that he feels he has to save people," Roseman said. "He put a lot of pressure on himself. He couldnt just go out and play. Getting away from Danny Watkins, the first-round pick and just being Danny Watkins will really help him." The Eagles also released tight end Clay Harbor, safety David Sims, offensive lineman Michael Bamiro, linebackers Travis Long and Chris McCoy, wide receivers Greg Salas and Russell Shepard, and running back Matthew Tucker to reach the 53-man roster limit. Harbour was a fourth-round pick in 2010 who still has potential. He learned to play linebacker in off-season workouts and also played wide receiver in training camp in an effort to increase his versatility. Harbor had 47 catches, including four touchdowns. He became expendable when the Eagles signed free agent James Casey and drafted Zach Ertz in the second round. On Friday, the Eagles cut 12 players. Among them were quarterbacks Dennis Dixon and G.J. Kinne and 2012 starting centre Dallas Reynolds. Watkins departure means the Eagles already have cut ties with their first two picks in the 2011 draft. Safety Jaiquawn Jarrett was released last year. Their third and fourth-round picks in that draft, cornerback Curtis Marsh and linebacker Casey Matthews, are barely clinging to roster spots. Reid, who presided over that draft, is gone. Team owner Jeffrey Lurie already absolved Roseman from blame for drafts before 2012. The Eagles restructured their personnel department after hiring Kelly to replace Reid. "A lot of the leadership positions and the responsibilities have changed in our organization," Roseman said. "Weve obviously changed a lot of people in our personnel department. Weve changed the way we look at things because we have new people in place." The Eagles have 20 players that werent on the team last year, including 10 rookies. Only 15 players remain from 2010 when the Eagles won the NFC East title. They followed that up with an 8-8 finish before a disastrous 4-12 season cost Reid his job. Darren McFadden Cowboys Jersey . After falling 5-0 on home ice in a game that could have tied them for second in the wild card standings, Washington head coach Adam Oates had some strong words for Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin.

The Kansas star scored 16 of his 22 points in the second half, outplaying Parker down the stretch and helping the fifth-ranked Jayhawks knock off No. http://www.footballcowboysstore.us/authentic-randy-gregory-cowboys-jersey/ . The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the confidential nature of the search, confirmed reports by several media outlets. The interview took place in Southern California on Monday.Bridgeview, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - A pair of club at the bottom of the Eastern Conference will clash on Saturday as the Chicago Fire welcome the Montreal Impact to Toyota Park. Its been a difficult season for Chicago as the club hasnt risen above eighth place in the East since April and has set a new MLS record for draws in a single season with 17 following Thursdays last-gasp 1-1 stalemate with the Philadelphia Union. The match against Philadelphia offered little in the way of scoring chances for most of the 90 minutes, but the Fire went behind two minutes from time when a right-wing cross from Danny Cruz was knocked down inside the box by Brian Brown, allowing Amobi Okugo to fire the ball past goalkeeper Sean Johnson from 12 yards. However, Chicago made the most of a gift from Union goalkeeper Rais Mbolhi, whose poor clearance in stoppage time was hit straight to substitute forward Robert Earnshaw, allowing the striker to get in on goal and send a delicate chip over the netminder and into the back of the net. I think that the game itself wasnt a particularly great game. Both sides felt a little bit cagey until the second half. We werent very good in the final third for us. But I thought Philadelphia had some good chances. Bill Bates Cowboys Jersey. Were happy to get the tie, Chicago head coach Frank Yallop said following the match. But we found a way to come back into the game and get something out of it. We could play better and do all these things, but were finding ways to at least get a point. But we cant find a way to win a game. And thats a little bit disappointing. Montreal. meanwhile, is coming off a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Columbus Crew at Crew Stadium. The Impact were behind the eight-ball almost immediately as Columbus found the back of the net after just two minutes through a goal from Ethan Finlay, who latched on to Wil Trapps through ball and clipped a shot into the upper corner from the right side of the box. Finlay had a hand in the Crews second goal of the match as he was fouled in the box by Jeremy Gagnon-Lapare, allowing Federico Higuain to convert on the 58th-minute penalty. They scored when they had chances and we did not tonight, said Impact midfielder Dilly Duka. We create chances and got a PK but we were not lucky. We have the players to do well on the road as well. They played well and got the three points. We allowed the first goal very early from a tough angle, but we kept pushing. NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
