Jerome McDougle blocked a Kellen Clemens pass on the Jets' second play of the evening. McDougle played another strong, active game, making the decision on the final cuts today and tomorrow even tougher. McDougle has played more preseason snaps and gotten better pass-rush pressure than any other Birds d-lineman.

"McDougle has done a heck of a job, he's played good football," Reid said, noting that McDougle was one of the few Eagles to play the entire game.

McDougle said he feels he has done all he could this preseason and that he would put his faith in the coaches and God.

McDougle, who has been impressive and seems to have made this squad, picked up a half-sack in the first half with Bryan Smith. Earlier in the week, defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said he was pleasantly surprised at the progress McDougle has made, given his injury-riddled career here.

McDougle finished the preseason with 2?sacks.
