THE EAGLES worked out a couple of long snappers Tuesday, Tyler Lott and Patrick Scales. Jon Dorenbos didn't have to use any magic tricks to find out about this; his coaches told him.
They also told him Lott and Scales went home without being signed. So Dorenbos, 35, an Eagle since 2006, will take the field this Sunday against Tampa. It will be Dorenbos' 143rd regular-season game with the Birds, and he knows it also could be his last, if he doesn't correct the problem that contributed to a blocked punt and a missed field goal in last Sunday's 20-19 loss to Miami.
