Anyone that has watched the Philadelphia Eagles this preseason will tell you that one of the team’s biggest problems is the interior of the offensive line (I could complain about Jason Peters too, but I won’t…for now). Well, a big part of the problem is poor center play. Nick Cole is not a center. He’s [...]

It’s going to sound like we are kissing up to the boss of GCobb.com (which I write for), but we do agree with G. in this video on Philly.com. He’s talking with Sheil Kapadia of Philly.com Sports and they are talking about who should play Thursday night. You can see the video here. We’re already [...]

What do you do when you have a guy that is so good that he just has to be on the field as much as possible despite the fact that he’s tiny? Apparently, you don’t worry about injury, you just keep sending him out there. According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Eagles WR [...]

While many teams talk about what they want to do in preseason games in terms of getting in the end zone, forcing turnovers or getting pressure on the quarterback or whatever, that’s all kind of BS. While they really do want to iron out the kinks before the games count, they all have the same [...]

If you didn’t see the Philadelphia Eagles game last night, you didn’t miss much if you are an Eagles fan. But, the team did get a bit of a scare when a Cincinnati Bengals DB rocked the world of wide receive Jeremy Maclin. He got him pretty good and Maclin had to eventually just drop [...]

The New York Giants have signed former Philadelphia Eagle and rapper extraordinaire Shawn Andrews to a contract that is expected to be largely incentive-based. The two-time Pro Bowler was once considered to be one of the top guards in the league, but a troublesome back and problems with getting his head on straight has curtailed [...]

If you’ve been to a Philadelphia Eagles training camp, it becomes obviously relatively quickly that CB Asante Samuel isn’t out there to really bust it. For all his flaws, Samuel is an incredible player and he knows it. I watched him doing some rehabbing side work with DeSean Jackson about a week and a half [...]

Word is surfacing from multiple media outlets that the Philadelphia Eagles today asked a fan to remove his #5 Donovan McNabb Washington Redskins jersey. And it’s true, that did happen. But all the reactions on Facebook and Twitter calling the Eagles classless and – essentially – Nazi’s are inaccurate. Yes, the team asked him to [...]

We keep telling ourselves that every city has theirs too. Every sports town has their share of idiots who do stupid things and make others look bad. Well, why is that Philadelphia fans are the ones that keep making it into newspapers, television and websites? You can’t make this stuff up. I mean….look at this [...]

We mentioned before that Philadelphia Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin was carted off the practice field today. It looked bad enough that Andy Reid ended practice. But, according to Sheil Kapadia on Twitter, it looks like it could just be a hyperextended knee. “Maclin hyperextended left knee. Still being evaluated. Update tomorrow. #eagles,” he tweets. The [...]

Well isn’t this great? On Saturday, Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson was carted off of the practice field with a back injury. He is just one of many Eagles to get dinged up in this training camp. Guess whose turn it was today? Jeremy Maclin. Multiple people are tweeting that Maclin was carted off the [...]

Updating a previous item on DeSean Jackson’s carting off today, it doesn’t seem serious. Several reports have come out that he walked out of the locker room and hopped into his car. Chris Mortensen also tweets that Jackson “is fine” and it seems like he most likely will be day-to-day. This is huge news for [...]

Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson was carted off the practice field today after making a catch. We don’t know the extent of the injury, but some have speculated that it could be a back issue. Supposedly, he limped to the cart which could be good sign. We aren’t sure who will step up to starting [...]

The Philadelphia Eagles had notoriously awful linebacker depth last year. But, apparently they feel like with Stewart Bradley back, they have a full stable of capable backers. They must, or else they wouldn’t have cut Alex Hall this week and then traded Joe Mays to the Denver Broncos for J.J. Arrington and a 2012 conditional [...]

Starting today’s training camp, the Philadelphia Eagles were just two rookies short. First-round pick Brandon Graham was yet to sign, as was second rounder Nate Allen. Well, the Eagles now have only one unsigned draft pick because the team has announced that they’ve agreed to a four-year deal with Allen. “He’s a smart kid. He’s [...]
