Philadelphia Eagles

By IgglesBlogMan He's making a larger point there about how hard Reid typically pushes his guys in training camp.  We haven't quite been able to figure out why the Eagles are such notoriously slow starters, with Hofmann suggesting that it could be an issue of tired legs.

By IgglesBlogMan Which is why the focus over the past couple offseasons for the Eagles seems to be all about competition.  Other than the unquestioned supremacy of Brian Westbrook, there isn't another position on the team where guys can feel safe without looking over their shoulders.

Philadelphia Eagles 2008 NFL Draft Review  - By Tony Moss, NFL Editor Analysis: The Eagles traded out of the first round for the second straight year, something of a surprise when considering that ... Eagles Still Need to Address O-Tackle Comcast SportsNet all 4 news articles

By JasonB The trade initially shocked me.  I remember Tony Sparano saying not too long ago how Lorenzo Booker "jumped off the tape" when you watch film of last year.  But I guess picking up a 4th round pick was important to Miami and Booker isn't really a "Bill Parcells" kind of running back.

By IgglesBlogMan I hear you.  And everyone knows I'm a huge fan of Tony Hunt.  But the fact of the matter is that the Eagles were way, way too dependent on Brian Westbrook last year.  Buckhalter had a fine season, but the Eagles really only used him on certain types of plays last season where he hit the hole hard and...

By JasonB Who will they be? Option #1 is 2006 2nd round pick Winston Justice. His first NFL action was last year against the Giants when he was abused by Osi Umenyoria to the tune of 6 sacks. Maybe only 4 were directly his fault, but that hardly makes it okay. Justice had a chance to redeem himself in the fina...

By IgglesBlogMan Here's the thing about Runyan.  Honestly, I don't think he's planning to play much longer.  If the Eagles win the Super Bowl this year, I think he'd definitely call it quits.  And whereas before last season I thought Thomas was the guy who could be losing his job soon, it now looks like Runyan mi...

By IgglesBlogMan Here's something else.  Even the most ardent Eagles basher would have to agree that the 2004 version of the offense was good enough to get to a Super Bowl ... since it got to a Super Bowl.  So compare the output of that team -- with a healthy McNabb, Terrell Owens and the ascendent Brian Westbrook --...

By Corey Seidman The tight end position will be an important one for the Eagles in 2008 because of their redzone problems, Donovan McNabb’s ability to spread the ball around, and the Eagles occasional philosophy of using the umpire to set a screen for the tight end in the middle of the field.

By JasonB These were simply free agent signings. I didn't include practice squad or NFL Europe guys. I didn't include undrafted rookie free agents. I also didn't include trades like Terrell Owens, Donte Stallworth, or Mark Simoneau. This list was simply veterans signed as free agents from other team...

By BleedGreen I'd like to hear Gaither's name a few times on special teams this year, no one is expecting him to start but based on how the Eagles have praised his special teams abilities so far he should be able to at least contribute there very early on. What we got Make the team What we got

By BleedGreen The Eagles have not played the Rams a whole lot the past few years, so it makes sense that beyond the numbers we can see, most Eagles fans don't really know what we've got in our new WR Kevin Curtis. Numbers can only reveal so much about a player. To get the real dish on a guy, you need to talk to a fan w...
