San Diego, We Have a Problem: A Letter to Donovan McNabb
Posted on 17. Nov, 2009 by Tex.
“Veteran leadership is something we don’t have much of. For the guys out there, we’re trying to get the young guys going a little bit. But the young guys have to step up this time,” quoting Donovan McNabb. Dear Donovan, I have to disagree. The young guys have stepped up, and you haven’t become [...]

The Eagles have finally reached the midway point of the season, and it’s been a bumpy ride. Attempting to forget the soul-crushing losses against the Dallas Cowboys and the Oakland Raiders, it’s time for the Eagles to take a good, long look at themselves because the road to the playoffs won’t be an easy one.

Biggest concerns at this point of the season
Posted on 11. Nov, 2009 by Mike Burke.
We have reached the halfway point of the regular season and there is a lot of evaluating going on. At this point, a lot of it is negative because of the disappointing loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night. Despite that, there is a lot of football left to be played. At 5-3, the Birds [...]

Philly Reider: Blue Blood, New Blood
Posted on 03. Nov, 2009 by Tex.
After two mediocre outings with the Oakland Raiders and the Washington Redskins, the Eagles finally woke up from their slumber and chopped the knees of the New York Giants. Eli Manning, predictable running plays and a porous Giants defense ultimately contributed to their demise. Eli was throwing lazily, and his receivers responded in kind. They [...]

Posted on 30. Oct, 2009 by Jessica.
Pro Bowl voting already? Didn’t we just start the season? Sadly, it is already Week 8, and yes, Pro Bowl voting has begun. As a reminder, the NFL decided to move the Pro Bowl this year to the site of the Super Bowl. It will take place on January 31, 2010 in Miami and no [...]

DeSean Jackson: Running on Inspiration
Posted on 29. Oct, 2009 by Jessica.
DeSean Jackson – two words that have changed the face and style of the Eagles offense since April 26, 2008. Bill Jackson – two words that have changed the purpose of Jackson’s talents on the field since May 14, 2009. DeSean Jackson and his family have always been tightly knit, but the relationship he had [...]

Jeremy Maclin: Not a fluke
Posted on 12. Oct, 2009 by Mike Burke.
Jeremy Maclin had a breakout game on Sunday in only his second start for the Eagles. The rookie wide receiver recorded six receptions for 142 yards and two touchdowns. He was quite impressive, but I think many are questioning if this was a fluke or can we continue this type of production out of Maclin. [...]

Eagles offensive youth shows great promise
Posted on 29. Sep, 2009 by Mike Burke.
In Sunday’s game we saw a lot of young players who were forced to step up into big roles due to injuries. Rookies LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin were asked to be starters in only their third regular season game in the NFL. Kevin Kolb was asked to lead the Eagles to a win so [...]

Eagles shine against the Chiefs
Posted on 28. Sep, 2009 by Mike Burke.
The Eagles needed to go out Sunday and get an impressive win, and that is what they did. They looked good on both sides of the ball and Kevin Kolb was able to lead the team to a win. In doing so, Kolb became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 300 [...]

Are we seeing the wildcat too much?
Posted on 22. Sep, 2009 by Mike Burke.
The Eagles integrated the wildcat formation into their offense much more than in Week One. DeSean Jackson was able to take direct snaps and try to make plays with the ball in his hands. He obviously showed how he can be a threat in the open field during Week One on special teams so the [...]

Offensive Rookies Will Be Pressured
Posted on 24. Jun, 2009 by Mike Burke.
When Training Camp comes around, I believe the three Eagles offensive rookies will be working harder than some of the guys who are just trying to make the team. I say this because all three will be expected to make contributions to this offensive immediately. None of them will be featured at their position, but [...]

My thoughts on the Brian Westbrook Saga
Posted on 18. Jun, 2009 by Mike Burke.
No one likes to see players get injured and miss long periods of time. It is upsetting that Brian Westbrook will miss out on training camp as he completes his rehab; however, I try to look at the upside of things. First, he knows the offense well. It’s not like he’s just coming into the [...]
