Tapeh Signs With Vikings
Fullback Thomas Tapeh has signed with the Vikings, as Brad Childress has targeted another former Eagle in building his team in Minnesota. Maybe the Lorenzo Neal wish list some of you mentioned is a possibility after all. With the league going further and further from using FBs actively, the Eagles may not choose to spend much to fill the position, however.
This opens the door nicely for the drafting of Owen Schmidt.

I always liked Thomas Tapeh.
But I always hated that one play that they ran with him ... you know - the playfake to Westbrook > 1 yard pass to Tapeh in the flat.
No more of that.

I think if Jason Davis can learn to block, he can certainly be a solid fullback. He definitely has the punch, just not the direction.

Tapeh... wasn't he in charge of the Eagle's taping?

Tapeh... sounds familiar... wasn't he in charge of the game taping?
