Eagles 2013 Draft Prospect: Texas A&M Offensive Tackle Luke Joeckel
Posted on 28. Feb, 2013 by Mike Burke.
Although he had a lot of success protecting Ryan Tannehill, Luke Joeckel really made a name in 2012 as he was protecting the blindside of Heisman Trophy winner, Johnny Manziel. Standing at 6-6 and 306 pounds, he was a rock all year for Manziel on the left side. When watching tape of Joeckel, you won’t [...]

Some Thoughts After The Eagles Win Against The Bucs
Posted on 11. Dec, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Going into Sunday’s game at Tampa Bay, there were two things I wanted to see out of the Eagles. First and foremost was improvement out of Nick Foles. The second was improvement from the defense. Win or lose, I didn’t care too much as long as I saw those things. Let’s start with Foles. Week [...]

What’s Left For The Eagles In 2012?
Posted on 21. Nov, 2012 by Mike Burke.
The saying “the season is over” is a common one in football. It comes out when a key player goes down or when a team knows they have little to no playoff hopes. I think “the season is over” is a common mindset among Eagles fans right now. However, there are still six games remaining. [...]

Posted on 31. Oct, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Another week in the books, and the story remains the same. Michael Vick continues to play poorly but Andy Reid is sticking with him. Even with the team’s struggles, SportsBetting.ag shows the Eagles as just three point underdogs on the road in New Orleans in the always hostile Superdome. The Saints have shown some struggles [...]

Defensive Line: Where Are The Sacks?
Posted on 09. Oct, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Remember how dominant the Eagles defensive line was in the preseason? No matter who was out there, they were getting to the quarterback early and often. They racked up a ton of sacks and it looked like in a 16 game season they may be able record roughly one million. However, we’re five games into [...]

Michael Vick’s Turnovers Continue to Hurt Eagles
Posted on 08. Oct, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Another Eagles game is in the books, and so is another close outcome. However, the Eagles ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard this game. For the first time this season, the Eagles came into the game as an underdog. Despite being the dogs, I still felt this was a very winnable game [...]

After two narrow victories in the first two weeks, the Eagles got a reality check in a 27-6 road loss to the Arizona Cardinals. It’s still very early in the season and there is still a lot of football to be played. There are still a lot of question marks about this team. Can Michael [...]

Posted on 26. Sep, 2012 by Mike Burke.
This is a guest post from Lucas McMillan of FootballSchedule.me. Through the first two games of the season, Michael Vick turned the ball over six times, yet the Eagles were 2-0. However, after the Eagles’ devastating Week 3 loss against the Arizona Cardinals, in which they turned the ball over three times, it’s clear that [...]

Thoughts on Eagles After First Two Games
Posted on 17. Sep, 2012 by Mike Burke.
After an interesting preseason, the Eagles first two games looked like a cake walk and then a tough match-up with a team that many believe will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. The cake walk didn’t exactly go as planned but the tough game ended up as advertised. In two short weeks, we’ve learned [...]

Eagles Linebackers Still Lacking Consistency
Posted on 27. Aug, 2012 by Mike Burke.
One of the biggest problems with last year’s “Dream Team” was the inconsistent play at the linebacker position. You can blame it on the personnel, the first year defensive coordinator, or the shortened Training Camp due to the lockout. At the end of the day, there was just no consistency at the position. Coming into [...]

In Andy We Trust For Quarterback Situation?
Posted on 21. Aug, 2012 by Mike Burke.
There are still two preseason games to be played, but there are already some legitimate concerns about the Eagles quarterback position this year. Michael Vick has played a total of 12 snaps in two games and has left each of them with an injury. He’s injured his thumb on Jason Kelce’s helmet and took a [...]

Thoughts on Eagles Second Preseason Game with Patriots
Posted on 21. Aug, 2012 by Mike Burke.
For the second preseason game in a row, Michael Vick’s night was ended after six snaps. This time around, Vick took a hard shot to the ribs while trying to scramble away from a defender. The good news is that x-rays turned out to be negative so it looks like he’ll only be experiencing some [...]

As summer continues to fly by, the Eagles time at Lehigh University has already done so. I feel like they just got there, but the Eagles are already done with their time in Bethlehem. Have we learned a lot about this team? I like to think so. However, I think a lot of questions still [...]
