What Will the Eagles do if Kevin Kolb Struggles?
Posted on 09. Aug, 2010 by Chris Lex.
After the Eagles ended the 2009 season in embarrassing fashion, there was a sense that a dramatic change was on the horizon. Sure enough, not too far after the season ended, franchise QB Donovan McNabb was traded within the division to the Washington Redskins. With the snap of a finger, all eyes turned to Kevin [...]

Eagles Defense Only as Good as the Front Four
Posted on 06. Aug, 2010 by Chris Lex.
The Eagles come into the season with a front four on the defensive line that could be deadly. Currently the starting defensive line will consist of all-pro DE Trent Cole, DT Brodrick Bunkley, DT Mike Patterson, and either vertern DE Juqua Parker or high-motored Rookie DE Brandon Graham.

Don’t be upset. There’s plenty of other things he can do. Putting that aside, let’s take a look at two scenarios: Player A: Incomplete pass. Laughter. Player B: Incomplete pass. Expletive. Know the two players I’ve described? If you don’t, Player A doesn’t play for the Eagles anymore, but Player B does. Get it? This [...]

With their morning practice at Lehigh in the books, the Eagles will head south for the second annual Flight Night event at Lincoln Financial Field.

Eagles Coaching Staff: A Year Older, A Year Wiser
Posted on 04. Aug, 2010 by Mike Burke.
For many young players, people expect them to show improvement after getting a year under the belt. However, no one ever talks about coaching doing the same thing. In 2010, I expect the Eagles coaching staff to improve their performance. The first person I look at is Eagles defensive coordinator Sean McDermott. Last season, he [...]

Who Will Be the Eagles Breakout Players in 2010?
Posted on 27. Jul, 2010 by Mike Burke.
It seems that there is a player or two every year that go above and beyond expectations. For example, I’m sure everyone thought it was a great move when the Eagles brought in fullback Leonard Weaver last year. However, I don’t think anyone was really expecting him to have the type of season he did. [...]

Trent Cole Ready For a Big 2010 Season
Posted on 23. Jul, 2010 by Mike Burke.
The Eagles have an absolute gem in defensive end Trent Cole. What they didn’t have for some time was a consistent player to compliment Cole on the other side. Finding a compliment for Cole was one of the main priorities for the Eagles this offseason, and they’ve brought in plenty of possible suitors. Part of [...]

Posted on 22. Jul, 2010 by Mike Burke.
Matt Mosley, ESPN’s NFC East blogger, has just come out with his Training Camp preview for the NFC East. He touches on a variety of different subjects, but something I found particularly interesting was the final section of the article covering his predictions for the year.
