When it comes to the Philadelphia Eagles and the re-signing of their own players, they usually lock up young talent early. They get them signed to long-term deals that are perhaps over market value at the time, thinking that they’ll be very good in a few years and then they’ll have them on the cheap. [...]
The St. Louis Rams fired head coach Steve Spagnuolo last week after several terrible seasons. And even before they let him go, there was speculation that he could return to the Philadelphia Eagles – where he coached the linebackers before heading to the New York Giants to be their defensive coordinator – to replace Juan [...]
You may remember back in 2006 when Jim Mora Sr., former head coach of the New Orleans Saints, went on the radio to talk about Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick. His son Jim Mora Jr., was the head coach at the time and there were issues then surrounding Vick that didn’t involve one dog biting [...]
We all know how unhappy Philadelphia Eagles CB Asante Samuel has been this year. The team went out and traded for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (which didn’t specifically piss him off) and then signed big-ticket free agent Nnamdi Asomugha (that pissed him off). Then there were all the rumors in training camp – and later in the [...]
Not sure to what extent I believe this, but I’m going to pass it along. Anthony Gargano of 94 WIP in Philadelphia, says that radio host Mike Francessa is saying that Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie called San Diego Chargers owner Dean Spanos and told him that he won’t have access to Andy Reid. Basically, [...]
According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Asante Samuel has been ruled out for the Eagles game against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Not that it really matters, if any game could possibly mean absolutely nothing, it’s this Eagles/Redskins game. But, the bigger question is, does this mean that Asante is finished with the [...]
The Dallas Cowboys have three pretty lethal wide receivers in Dez Bryant, Miles Austin and now Laurent Robinson (who they target the hell out of). The Philadelphia Eagles have three excellent cornerbacks (supposedly) in Nnamdi Asomugha, Asante Samuel and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Should be a great matchup, right? Not exactly. The Eagles have ruled out Samuel, [...]
Pretty much everyone in the NFC East not named the Washington Redskins is fighting for their playoff lives. The Dallas Cowboys are no different as they prepare for the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. The bad news is that the Eagles already pasted them once this season back at the Linc. The worse news is that [...]
In case you haven’t noticed, Philadelphia Eagles fans are pretty sick of head coach Andy Reid. They’ve been calling for his ouster for years now, but it seems like this time they mean it. Chants of “Fire Andy!” reigned down from the stands when the Eagles took a royal dump on the field against the [...]
Have you seen this yet? Yep, this is what the 2011 season has come down to for the Philadelphia Eagles. Even little kids know they blow. Thanks to Anthony for passing this along. This little kid is balling over the thrashing that the New England Patriots gave to his Eagles last Sunday. We think there [...]
The New York Giants were visibly pissed off when Steve Smith signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. He had a knee problem and wasn’t expected to be able to play until Week 6 or so, even though that turned out to not be the case. The Giants say that Smith’s agent said that the team would [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles tried to fib to the media and fans this week after QB Michael Vick busted two ribs in last Sunday’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Marty Mornhinweg in particular tried to say that he was “optimistic” that Vick would be able to play against the New York Giants. The Eagles even stink [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles just don’t have it this year. After their “Dream Team” nonsense and all the hype that went with it, this has been a relatively poor team. They are 3-6 and not showing any signs of hope. Now, throw in the injuries that come with playing an NFL season. Vince Young is most [...]
Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick busted two ribs in Sunday’s awesome loss to the mighty Arizona Cardinals. Andy Reid says it happened on the second play of the game, but no one is buying that and there is a cloud of mystery around the whole situation. Vick hasn’t been practicing and Vince Young has been [...]
This past offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles had two “starting caliber” quarterbacks in theory. They had former second-round pick Kevin Kolb, and guy who was Superman for much last year, Michael Vick. Both on the final year of their contracts, one of them had to go. After careful and thoughtful deliberation for all of about three, [...]
After watching Monday night’s ground gashing by the Chicago Bears, one would think that the Philadelphia Eagles would jump at the chance to add one of the best defensive tackles in the last decade. Sure enough, one came loose yesterday when the New England Patriots released Albert Haynesworth. But, Haynesworth was cut for a reason, [...]
Of the many story lines that have surrounded the Philadelphia Eagles (and there have been a ton), one of the big ones has been the contract of DeSean Jackson. It’s a tricky situation because he really is a boom or bust player. But, the boom is so big that he warrants a decent payday. Not [...]
In yet another example of the problems in the Philadelphia Eagles organization, we now see that yet another rookie thinks that they know the lay of the land in Philly. A couple weeks ago, it was rookie C Jason Kelce getting upset at the anti-Andy Reid signs outside of the NovaCare Complex. Look, you people [...]
After the Philadelphia Eagles acquired Nnamdi Asomugha and traded for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Asante Samuel immediately became the subject of trade speculation. Whether or not the Eagles were actively shopping him at that point, we don’t know. But the topic came up again prior to last Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. And as far as Asante is [...]
File this under “WOW.” The Philadelphia Eagles tried to trade Ronnie Brown to the Detroit Lions this week for Jerome Harrison and a seventh-round pick. The trade was canceled and Brown was returned to the Eagles because Harrison failed a physical. This was odd to most because Harrison wasn’t on the Week 6 injury report. [...]
Updating a previous item where we discussed whether or not Philadelphia Eagles offensive line coach Howard Mudd could be the fall guy for an awful, awful, defense, we pass along another interesting nugget that could ultimately lead to his demise in Philadelphia. Mudd, according to NBC’s Sunday Night Football broadcast via Jeff McLane of the [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles are 1-4 and the team is in disarray. They can’t stop the run, can’t tackle, can’t get one yard when they need it, can’t stop turning the ball over, can’t protect Vick…etc. This team has problems. One of the biggest problems is the offensive line. Between injuries, inexperience and no continuity, the [...]
We understand that ESPN’s Adam Schefter is not just throwing out fake NFL trade rumors. On Thursday, he suggested some trades that would make sense for certain teams. We thought he made it clear that he didn’t say these would happen, but just that he thought they made sense. But, here’s the problem. Most people [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles have declared their inactives for today and there might be a mild surprise here or there. Their list of inactives for today’s against the Buffalo Bills include: QB Mike Kafka, RE Trent Cole, LT Jason Peters, SS Jaiquawn Jarrett, CB Curtis Marsh, G/C Julian Vandervelde and OG Kyle DeVan. This leaves only [...]
Howard Eskin is very well known in the Philadelphia sports community. Some love him. Some hate him. He’s a brash mouth that makes bold statements and will never, ever admit that he was wrong. I’m thinking back to the week before a 2002 Eagles/Colts game in which he repeatedly told his listeners on 610 WIP [...]
