Scourge Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I think McDougle was on the verge of a breakout season this year. He spent most of the off-season in Philly participating in their conditioning program. He was working hard and I send a prayer out to him and his family. I have a #95 McDougle jersey and will wear it all season at games in his honor. Get better big guy! #95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-mongus Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 He's now listed in good condition after surgery, but I doubt he'll be playing football anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampnuts Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 The city of Miami should be off limits to all professional athletes. That place is like kryptonite for NFL players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phootballphreak Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) Wasnt there a player shot last season too? I believe he also played last season. It was Joey Porter and he was shot in the BUTTOCKS, big difference. I would now tend to go with not playing this year. Could this be the start of a run of bad luck for the EAGLES ?

phootballphreak Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Fron Philly Local Station: 105pm July 29, 2005 — Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jerome McDougle was shot in the stomach by armed robbers, police said Friday. The team said he was in good condition after surgery. IMAGES: The Scene VIDEO: John Rawlins with local reaction He originally was listed in critical condition. However, Derek Boyko, the Eagles' director of media operations, said McDougle had spoken to team officials and was walking around his hospital room. "Our understanding is that Jerome is in good condition after undergoing surgery," the team said in a statement. "At this time, we are still in the process of gathering the facts of his situation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jerome and his family." McDougle, who played at the University of Miami, was due to be in the team's camp Monday, the reporting date for Eagles' veterans. Rookies reported Friday. McDougle, 27, was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center, where he underwent the surgery. Three armed robbers approached McDougle in his silver Mercedes coupe late Thursday, police said. With their faces covered, the suspects demanded that he hand over his property, then one of them shot McDougle in the stomach, police said. Police said the robbers weren't didn't say what property they wanted. McDougle opened the door and tried to get out of the car, but another robber fired two shots, which police said missed him and hit the inside of the door. The robbers, who police said were likely teens, fled on foot and remain at large, police said. It wasn't clear whether McDougle was in his car or near it when he was approached, police said. McDougle was a first-round pick in 2003, but has been plagued with injuries in Philadelphia. In two seasons, he had 18 tackles in 19 games, including two sacks. McDougle had 114 tackles and 14 sacks in two seasons at Miami, and was a second-team All-American in 2002. (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
