Friday Five Pack – Week Sixteen
Posted on 25. Dec, 2009 by Mike Burke.
Merry Christmas everyone! We will look to get a late present on Sunday from our Eagles when the Denver Broncos come to town. Both teams have a lot to fight for and we will see the much anticipated return of Brian Dawkins. Please review the questions and provide your answers in the comments section! 1. [...]

Brian Westbrook Goes Down, Again
Posted on 17. Nov, 2009 by Chris Lex.
Brian Westbrook suffered another concussion in Sunday’s devastating loss to the Chargers. First thought that comes to mind is, where do the Eagles and Westbrook go from here? Was this concussion a direct result of not having fully recovered from the previous concussion that had occurred against the Washington Redskins? Westbrook has never played a [...]

Should Brian Westbrook return against the Cowboys?
Posted on 04. Nov, 2009 by Mike Burke.
There is a lot of debate going on right now as to whether or not Brian Westbrook will play this week against the Cowboys, and we are now hearing that he is cleared to play. He did not play last week due to a concussion and is also getting over an ailing ankle injury. The [...]

Are the Eagles the team to beat in the NFC East?
Posted on 03. Nov, 2009 by Mike Burke.
If we rewind back to Week Six, we saw an Eagles team who couldn’t score a touchdown against a terrible Raiders team and it felt as though we’d hit rock bottom. The loss was embarrassing and we had a chance to make some ground on the Giants who were blown out by the Saints. We [...]

Can LeSean McCoy step up in Westbrook’s absence?
Posted on 28. Oct, 2009 by Mike Burke.
There is no official word yet, but I think it seems pretty likely that Brian Westbrook will be unable to play Sunday against the Giants. He was hit pretty hard and knocked unconscious. Andy Reid has said he expects him to be able to go on Sunday but I think he knows in his heart [...]

Philly Reider: Defensive Thoughts
Posted on 28. Oct, 2009 by Tex.
The Eagles beat the Redskins…well, they won. On the bright side, they didn’t lose against the elite Raiders. Andy Reid finally ran a balanced offense against the Redskins with about half run and half passing plays. However, Donovan McNabb and crew generated a comparatively meager offense (aside from the two 60 yard plays from DeSean [...]

Brian Westbrook needs to prove he’s back
Posted on 22. Oct, 2009 by Mike Burke.
Brian Westbrook was pretty much the only highlight in the Eagles loss last week to the Oakland Raiders. He looked good on a few screen plays and made a couple plays on the ground as well. It was a reminder of his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, something it seems the [...]

LeSean McCoy: Rookie mistakes
Posted on 20. Oct, 2009 by Mike Burke.
Brian Westbrook was one of the few positives for the Eagles on Sunday and we soon saw why he still needs to contribute. LeSean McCoy is not quite ready to make the leap to being a feature running back in the NFL. Don’t get me wrong, I think the kid is great. However, he showed [...]

Eagles run game should blossom on Sunday
Posted on 14. Oct, 2009 by Mike Burke.
Yesterday I wrote how the Eagles have not shown much as far as a solid run game this season. However, Sunday’s game against Oakland represents the perfect chance to establish a run game and put up big numbers. If you saw any of Oakland’s game last week with the Giants, you saw what Ahmad Bradshaw [...]

Where is the run game for the Eagles?
Posted on 13. Oct, 2009 by Mike Burke.
Ok, we all know the Eagles are going to run the ball before they throw it. That’s a given. The team stayed pretty balanced on Sunday in terms of running and throwing, but when they tried to run the ball, they didn’t have a whole lot of success. Donovan McNabb lead the team with 30 [...]

McNabb and Westbrook back at practice
Posted on 05. Oct, 2009 by Mike Burke.
Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook were able to use the Bye Week to let their bodies heal and returned to the practice field today. After missing the team’s game with the Chiefs, it seems as though both players are on track to make their returns against Tampa Bay this Sunday. It seems evident that McNabb [...]

Questions heading into this weeks matchup
Posted on 05. Oct, 2009 by Mike Burke.
The Bye Week is over and it’s time to get ready for Tampa Bay. It was nice having a week off but I’m ready for Eagles football again. There are a lot of questions that will need to be answered this week regarding Sunday’s match up with the Bucs, so lets take a look at [...]

Is LeSean McCoy ready to be a #1 running back?
Posted on 21. Sep, 2009 by Mike Burke.
It appears that Brain Westbrook’s health is going to be a question mark again. I thought we were past that but it seems like it’s just never going to happen. Even if it’s something small, it seems as though there is always something. If Westbrook is unable to play or take the majority of the [...]
