Who are the Eagles Really????

Marc Fanelle — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 03:24:16 +0000

The Philadelphia Eagles are a marvel in this short start of the NFL season. With a 4 and 2 record, they seem to be in control of the season. There are other questions that arise though. Is it all smoke and mirrors? Is the NFC really a true litmus test? Is the Eagles defense and special teams just young and need time to gel? I remember when Jim Johnson first got here with Andy Reid, Troy Vincent being interviewed and… Finish Reading

Reflections on Eagles Week 1 loss

Eric Schwartz — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 17:47:12 +0000

Now that the Eagles opener against the Green Bay Packers has come and gone it’s time to reflect on what was Sunday and what could be in the future. The Eagles did a few things right and a few more things wrong in a 27-20 loss that leaves the team still searching for answers at several key positions.

What will the Eagles do in the draft?

Chris Zetusky — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 01:56:10 +0000

This might be the most important draft in the Andy Reid era. The Eagles have a total of 10 picks and 5 of them are in the top 100. With all of these picks the team is sitting in a pretty good position if they decide to move up for a player that they like. The Eagles need to address the defense side of the ball; needing help at every position. If I was the GM I would be praying… Finish Reading

Did Reid get best value for McNabb?

Eric Schwartz — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 03:08:44 +0000

Andy Reid has never been one to put on an entertaining press conference – ever.

So it should come to no surprise that Reid gave few details in his post -Donovan McNabb trade press conference. One thing that jumped out Sunday night was his refusal to answer a question which is sure to be discussed in Philly from now until the two teams meet next season.

The question: Was the offer from the Redskins (Second round pick this year, No. 37,… Finish Reading

Eagles trade Reggie Brown to Buccaneers

Eric Schwartz — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:15:59 +0000

One of the bigger busts in the Andy Reid era is leaving town.

The Eagles traded Reggie Brown to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for an undisclosed 2011 draft pick.
Brown never quite found a home with the Eagles, bouncing between roles as high as their No. 1 receiver, to as low as their No. 5. Some weeks he wasn’t even activated.

The Eagles selected Brown with their 35th pick of the 2005 draft, a move that excited the teams… Finish Reading

Eagles release Brian Westbrook

Eric Schwartz — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:21:39 +0000

The end of an era has arrived in Philadelphia. Brian Westbrook will no longer be an Eagle.

Philadelphiaeagles.com is reporting that the Eagles will release Westbrook today.

“Brian is one of the greatest Eagles of all time and he is even a better person and leader,” said head coach Andy Reid. “In my mind, there has not been a more versatile running back that the NFL has seen. I had a conversation with Brian this morning to let him know.… Finish Reading

Making the case: Vick for starter in 2010

Eric Schwartz — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:51:11 +0000

Michael Vick is a weapon, plain and simple. He can run, pass and he is capable of the big play at any time.

When the Eagles signed Vick last offseason they did so to give an athlete with a troubled past a chance to rebuild his reputation in the community and show that he could also still get the job done on the field.

I think most would agree that he went 2-for-2.

It is almost a certainty that the… Finish Reading

The end of the McNabb era may have arrived

Eric Schwartz — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 16:34:11 +0000

The late Albert Einstein is known for many great pieces of knowledge. In the sports world there is one phrase he coined that seems to trump all else:

“The definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting a different result.”

That phrase has been used by fans over the last few seasons to persuade the Eagles front office breaking up the duo of Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid. Of course the front office has not taken… Finish Reading

Athlete of the Decade #2 Donovan McNabb

Joseph Birmingham — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 07:00:24 +0000

Donovan McNabb was not a popular choice when he was selected in the 1999 draft with the #2 overall pick. He played in nearby Syracuse, but for some reason Eagles fans had their hearts set on Ricky Williams. It is somehow fitting that since that critical pick, the Eagles have ranked near the bottom of the league in average rush attempts per game, but have also been one of the most successful franchises in the league, largely in part to… Finish Reading
