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 [...]

Around the League: Week 2 Preview
Posted on 13. Sep, 2012 by Brennen Dickerson.
That was fun. Let’s do it again. In fact, let’s do it several more times. I’m thinking until at least the beginning of February. It sure was fun to have football again. However, I must admit I’m not thrilled about Thursday Night Football starting so soon…it doesn’t give me much time to get these articles [...]

Around the League Week 1
Posted on 05. Sep, 2012 by Brennen Dickerson.
Oh I’ve missed this. I’ve missed this dreadfully. Baseball is fun (though it’s been a tough year to be a Phils fan), basketball is alright, hockey is nice, NCAA football is fantastic….but none of them hold a candle to the NFL. Oh yes, it’s back baby! Professional football is here and it’s been far too [...]

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.

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 [...]

Biggest Questions as Eagles Leave Lehigh
Posted on 14. Aug, 2012 by Mike Burke.
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 [...]

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 [...]

Not sure who the Eagles are going to draft in the first round? Neither am I. Over the last month or so, we’ve taken a closer look at some prospects who the Eagles may consider. Most of these are first round type targets, but there are also a number of players on the list who [...]
