Posted on 25. Mar, 2012 by Mike Burke.
I’ve wanted to write something on this all week but haven’t gotten around to it. Luckily for you, I’m still going to talk about it. If you’re already sick of hearing about it, then feel free to move on. If you’re not already aware, there was a report from Sam Farmer of the LA Times [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: Notre Dame Safety Harrison Smith
Posted on 22. Mar, 2012 by Mike Burke.
The Eagles have really struggled at the safety position ever since Brian Dawkins left town. They have used second round draft picks on Nate Allen and Jaiquawn Jarrett the last two years, and neither player has panned out as they hoped. Allen has been good at times but has struggled with injury early on. I [...]

Eagles 2012 Draft Prospect: LSU Defensive Tackle Michael Brockers
Posted on 21. Mar, 2012 by Mike Burke.
There’s no denying how talented the LSU defense was last year. One of the big contributors to that unit was defensive tackle Michael Brockers. Brockers is a large prospect at 6-5, 322 pounds but possesses great athleticism for a player of his size. He’s built from the ground up with very strong legs that allow [...]

How Does Acquiring DeMeco Ryans Affect Eagles Draft Outlook
Posted on 20. Mar, 2012 by Mike Burke.
After we seemed to wait and wait for the Eagles to sign a free agent linebacker, the team decided to go another direction, acquiring DeMeco Ryans via trade. The Eagles gave up their fourth-round selection and swapped third-round selections with the Texans in order to pick up Ryans. Unlike last season, the draft would be [...]

Retaining DeSean Jackson Should Leave Eagles With No Surprises
Posted on 01. Mar, 2012 by Mike Burke.
To the surprise of no one, the Eagles placed the franchise tag on wide receiver DeSean Jackson. This was something that had been talked about for a long time, and although I thought they might wait until closer to the deadline, it was a move I was just about certain they’d have to make. The [...]

Does Drafting RGIII Completely Change the Eagles Outlook?
Posted on 28. Feb, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Last offseason, the Eagles announced that they had a “win now” mentality and were going to be aggressive in free agency. They proved to be aggressive in pursuing the top free agents that were available. However, the end result wasn’t what they hoped for. When Jeffery Lurie announced that the team would retain Andy Reid, [...]

How Will Free Agents React to Eagles in 2012?
Posted on 27. Feb, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Despite the outcome of the 2011 season, it’s hard to deny the excitement before the season started. With a lockout that lasted longer than anyone would have liked, the NFL jumped into an accelerated free agency period. The rush to sign the top free agents was exciting, but the success the Eagles had in bringing [...]

Andy Reid Will Start 2012 Season on the Hot Seat
Posted on 04. Jan, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Whether you agree with it or not, Andy Reid will return as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012. Jeffery Lurie made this announcement at his press conference this week, and it didn’t really come as much of a surprise. Lurie still believes in Reid, but he made it very clear how disappointed [...]

Eagles Offensive Line Needs to Step Up Against the Jets
Posted on 15. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Coming into the season, there were a lot of questions surrounding how well the offensive line would be able to protect the Eagles new $100 million asset. They had a new offensive line coach and were attempting to throw rookies into the starting lineup right out of the gate. All things considering, I’d personally say [...]

Evaluating Michael Vick’s Performance Against the Dolphins
Posted on 11. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Earlier this week, I wrote that Eagles quarterback Michael Vick needed to have a bounce back against the Dolphins. He didn’t have the kind of game I’d hoped for, but he did walk away with the win. One thing I didn’t take into consideration when talking about Vick having a good game was the play [...]

Posted on 11. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Although it didn’t look good early, the Eagles were able to travel down to Miami and come back with a 26-10 win. Early in the first quarter, the Eagles had a punt blocked that the Dolphins were able to immediately turn into a touchdown and take a 7-0 lead. The touchdown came on a reception [...]

Michael Vick Needs a Bounce Back Game Against the Dolphins
Posted on 08. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Last season, we saw two different Michael Vick’s. We saw the Vick that can play like superman, and we saw the Vick that doesn’t make smart decisions with the football. The Eagles had a choice to make at the quarterback position in the offseason, and I think they handled it the right way. Unfortunately, we’re [...]
