Posted on 26. May, 2011 by Mike Burke.
There’s often a lot of criticism about the Eagles defense having undersized players. Namely, people often discuss the defensive ends and linebackers.

The Great Debate on Eagles Signing Nnamdi Asomugha
Posted on 12. May, 2011 by Mike Burke.
It seems that most Eagles fans really want the team to strongly pursue Nnamdi Asomugha when free agency finally opens.

Are the Eagles Putting Too Much Faith in Their Young Players?
Posted on 11. May, 2011 by Mike Burke.
During the 2010 offseason, there was a lot of talk about a new feeling with the Eagles because of the youth on the team. Kevin Kolb was about to take over the offense and was surrounded by a dynamic core of play-makers who were just as young as him, if not younger. Kolb was replaced [...]

In every draft, you have expectations for your picks.

With New Set of Linebackers Coming In, Could Eagles Let Stewart Bradley Walk?
Posted on 05. May, 2011 by Mike Burke.
In the past, the Eagles haven’t always made the roster moves that we’d expect them to. With the NFL Lockout currently in place, free agency has yet to begin, so we don’t know for sure who the Eagles will bring back and who they will let go. With the play of Jamar Chaney last season, [...]
