"A rookie free agent in 2003, Ephraim stepped up and performed pretty well in a critical spot against a tough Packers interior defensive line last season. Teaming with Steve Sciullo, the pair of second-year linemen won the battle in the trenches, neutralizing the massive tackle tandem of Grady Jackson and Cletidus Hunt inside."

""Alonzo is going to be a real good player," G-Hank Fraley said. "He's big and strong, and he really picks things up quickly."

And an Andy Reid quote...http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/99-12032004-410430.html
"He showed toughness playing the center position," Reid said. "He's a smart kid. That carried over when we tried him at guard. This past training camp, he had an opportunity to step in at guard, we liked what we saw and we gave him a shot."

Not a bad signing at all.

I spoke with a friend of mine who is a diehard Bama fan and told me that this guy will be good for us. He was a 1st team all SEC selection his senior year, and he did alright as a back-up in Phily. Also he is only 24 years old. Lets see what coach HH can do with this guy!

I tried to find information about why he was waived if he was so solid...I couldn't find anything. He must injury prone.

Some were saying he got caught up in a numbers game in Philly but I don't know if that's true or not

This guy is a mountain!!! Nice signing indeed...
I can't wait to see him in action!!

They called him Mt. Ephraim in Philly, named after a town in Jersey.
I think we should call him the "A-Frame"

Philly always keeps a nice stock of OLmen....

This guy is no exception from what I've heard. Maybe they just didn't need all of those good linemen???....Who know's, but I'm happy we got him.....

PHINZ RULE!!!!

Maybe they felt sorry for us trying to go through another season with Seth as our center.

That's the samething I heard from a few Phily fans. Also a friend of mine who is a die-hard Bama fan has a lot of nice things to say about this guy. It really sounds like a good pick up for us.

Or giving them a 2nd round pick for Feeley???....

PHINZ RULE!!!
