Eagles Demote CB Ellis Hobbs In Favor Of Dimitri Patterson

Kenny Britt's big day cost Ellis Hobbs his starting job. Dimitri Patterson has replaced Hobbs as the right cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles. The sixth-year pro will start against Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts (4-2) on Sunday. "It was a surprise, but it's an opportunity, so I'm grateful for it," Patterson said of his promotion. "Any time I'm able to get on the field, it's a beautiful thing. I just try to go in there and make a statement. That's my goal. If I get five reps in a game, I'm trying to make a statement to everybody in the league and I'm going to do that Sunday and for the rest of my career." Patterson, a career special-teams player, took over for Hobbs on Monday in Philadelphia's first practice since Britt had 225 yards receiving in Tennessee's 37-19 win against the Eagles on Oct. 24. Britt caught touchdown passes of 26, 80 and 16 yards and finished with seven receptions to help the Titans rally from a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter, and it was the best game receiving ever against the Eagles (4-3), topping the 213 yards by Dallas' Tony Hill in 1979. "Any week, as we prepare for any team, I'm a competitor and I'm going to feel like I can cover anybody," Patterson said. "And Kenny Britt was no exception, and this week will be no exception and the rest of my career will be no exception. My mindset week in and week out is I feel confident I can cover anybody."

I've seen plays where Hobbs looks totally legit, but they are way too few and far between. Glad to see this happen. Patterson has some upside, but I sense him getting torched a little bit as he adjusts to being a starter.

Little surprised they didn't give it to Joselio.

Same scenario with us, he'd have a good game, than next game he doesn't have a clue. I don't think he's the brightest star in the sky.
