Thoughts on Eagles 24-23 Win to Steelers
Posted on 09. Aug, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Well, we have one preseason game in the books. It was a pretty standard preseason game with ups and downs throughout the game. Some players impressed, some didn’t. In any preseason game, you have to take everything with a grain of salt. We see vanilla offenses and some guys who you know will make the [...]

Eagles Day Two Options
Posted on 27. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
It almost feels weird that the Eagles drafted the person that we thought they would. Fletcher Cox was the popular choice for the Eagles in the first round, and that is who they ended up with. In order to move up to get Cox, they had to sacrifice a 4th and 6th round pick. The [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Arkansas Wide Receiver Joe Adams
Posted on 22. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
You can never have enough guys on your offense who have the ability to make big plays. I think the Eagles were have the opportunity to add a few more of these guys through the draft. One possibility is Arkansas wide receiver Joe Adams. At 5-11 and 180 pounds, he’s a little bit bigger than [...]

At 6-2 and 315 pounds, defensive tackle Brandon Thompson is yet another talented player in this years class at the position.

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Oregon Running Back LaMichael James
Posted on 21. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
With LeSean McCoy coming off a terrific season, there is no question mark surrounding the Eagles staring quarterback position. However, there is a question about who will backup McCoy. The Ronnie Brown experience failed last year, and there are question marks around Dion Lewis. The Eagles may look to the draft to find a guy [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Penn State Defensive Tackle Devon Still
Posted on 21. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Consistently inconsistent. I think that is a fair assessment of Penn State defensive tackle Devon Still. At times, he shows flashes of absolute greatness. However, there are also periods of time that go by where Still just seems to go through the motions and makes no impact. Early on at this year’s NFL Combine, I [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Michigan State Quarterback Kirk Cousins
Posted on 20. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Although there are many who don’t want to see the Eagles draft a quarterback this year, there are concerns about the current backup situation. History tends to repeat itself, and if that holds true, odds are that we will see a backup quarterback forced into the starting role at some point in 2012. Given that [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Memphis Defensive Tackle Dontari Poe
Posted on 19. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
NFL star or Combine star? That’s the big question everyone is asking when it comes to Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe. After topping the charts in the bench press and running a great 40-yard dash for a man his size, Poe’s draft stock has skyrocketed. It’s pretty hard to project what Poe’s ceiling will be [...]

Posted on 18. Apr, 2012 by Mike Burke.
As of late, I’ve seen some discussion about the Eagles maybe trying to draft a corner in the first round. I’m not sure how seriously they would consider doing that, but of course we never know with them. An option they would have in the first round is Alabama corner Dre Kirkpatrick. Personally, I’ve always [...]
