Every NFL fan is not just concerned with the team from September to February, we are in it for 365 days a year. The NFL offseason is the most important part of the rebuilding process, and unfortunately the Eagles are in that mode. After firing Andy Reid the Eagles are still looking for their coach. Chip Kelly is back to Oregon, Bill O’Brien is back to Penn State. This is GOOD news for Eagles fans. The Eagles, in my opinion, need a coach who has been around the NFL for a while, and has full commitment to the NFL. Greg Roman, Gus Bradley and Mike McCoy are my top three …

Eagles Potential Draftees for the 2013 NFL Draft
With one week left in the NFL season, all Eagles fans can cheer for now is a high draft pick. The Eagles can pick no higher than 4 but no lower than 10. Most likely they will hold the 4th, 5th or 6th pick. This year’s draft class is nowhere near last year’s in terms of QB, but it is a very deep class in other areas. The Eagles and whoever is running the show in late April, can NOT mess this one up. This is a direction changing draft pick, and can make or break a franchise.
Let’s take a look at who may be available when our Eagles are “on the clock.”
OT Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M
No one can, will, or has been “excited” about drafting an offensive lineman, …
Eagles Suffer Huge Loss With Herremans Done for Year
The Eagles makeshift Offensive Line will get more makeshift for the rest of 2012 as All-Pro Offensive Tackle Todd Herremans is done for the rest of the regular season with a dislocated bone along with more fractures to go with tendon & ligament damage. This leaves just 1 of the Eagles offensive line members to be starting this week out of the 5 that were the Eagles intention. Danny Watkins is not out of the season but so far has not practiced since suffering an ankle injury weeks ago. Jason Peters blew his knee out twice in a 3 month period but he could possibly still come back for the team this season although the team’s record …
Eagles Extend GM Howie Roseman’s Contract…Bad Idea?
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported yesterday during ‘s press conference after the loss to the New Orleans Saints that the Philadelphia Eagles extended General Manager Howie Roseman‘s contract for between 4-5 years over the summer when former Team President Joe Banner left to join the Cleveland Browns’ ownership group. Obviously the idea was to extend Roseman’s contract to get him at a cheaper rate than if the Eagles succeeded this season and made the playoffs and the trip to the promised land…the Super Bowl.
Obviously 9 games into the season it’s obvious that the playoffs are a far ways away let alone the Super Bowl possibility. As much as Andy Reid has been ripped for what he’s done as the team’s head coach (hiring and firing Juan Castillo) does the fault of this land on Roseman’s shoulders? …
DeSean Jackson’s Comments A Reflection On Andy Reid
Early Tuesday morning, DeSean Jackson appeared on ESPN Radio’s national morning program, the Mike and Mike Show. While there, Jackson was asked about the effect being booed by Philadelphia fans has on him and his Eagles teammates. This question was undoubtedly in response to the way Eagles fans lustily booed their team following a porous effort coming off their bye week against Atlanta, a 30-17 loss that left the Eagles 3-4.
In case you missed it, you can hear the whole interview here. The comment in question comes at about the 3:50 mark. Here’s what Jackson said:
During the game, me and one of my teammates, he actually said, ‘Man, they are sitting there and booing us.’ For that to be our support team — Philadelphia fans, …
Eagles Offensive Woes: A Closer Look
Run the ball! Every Eagles fan has yelled something like that at their TV at one point or another. Andy Reid and Marty Mornhinweg‘s play calling has frustrated the fan base almost as much as the infamous “putting the team in a better position to win” phrase. Running the ball more often seems to be an easy fix for the offensive woes, but it’s not that easy. Believe it or not the Eagles run/pass ratio is about 45/55 since the Arizona game.
In fairness, the game against the Giants spiked the Eagles overall run total. LeSean McCoy absolutely dominated on the ground in that game. McCoy could definitely use more touches as the Eagles move forward, but when it comes to …
