Eye on Lehigh; Flood cancels practice

FLOODING IN THE VALLEY…

Early this morning a water main break was discovered on Lehigh University’s lower campus where the Eagles practice fields and facilities are located. The back practice field had swelled and rose to three feet higher than normal. The water main break resulted in the cancellation of the 8:15 am practice, giving players the morning off. The decision to cancel practice, instead of moving it to the indoor facility, came when the water was turned off by campus officials in order to fix the problem. No water meant that players and staff did not have access to the water normally used for player treatments, laundry, showers, and other various activities. The problem was fixed by early afternoon, and the 2:45 pm 10/10/10 practice ran as scheduled.

KING ME…

Seventh-round draft pick, T King Dunlap, has impressed coaches so far this training camp. “He’s a good athlete…He’s moving around very well,” said Andy Reid in today’s press conference. “He’s got very long arms and knows how to use them. He’s not afraid to play the game out in front of him. I’ve been impressed with the way he’s handled himself.”

Now standing at 6’-9”, Dunlap was once a 5’-11” linebacker in the 8th grade before sprouting six inches over the next summer. His coaches then moved him to defensive end.
