Game Notes/Observations: Eagles vs. Chiefs

Posted on 27. Aug, 2010 by Mike.

The preseason is officially more than halfway done now. In their third preseason game with the Chiefs, the Eagles were a tale of two teams. We saw a defense who looked like they could be the best in the league, then a defense who looked terrible. The Eagles never looked stellar on [...]

Posted on 23. Aug, 2010 by Chris.

With two preseason games in the books, we have seen some of the same problems that the Eagles faced last season: short yardage and the red zone. The Eagles first team offense has yet to score an offensive touchdown in the preseason thus far. We need to see some improvement here.

LeSean McCoy Needs to Become a More Complete Back

Posted on 03. Jun, 2010 by Mike.

LeSean McCoy played well last season in the role he was asked to play as a rookie. In 2010, he will need to strive for greatness.
McCoy set the Eagles rookie rushing record for yards in 2009 but will need to even more in 2010.

Taking a Look at the Eagles Running Back Competition

Posted on 27. May, 2010 by Mike.

Although a lot of focus in the offseason was spent talking about the loss of long-time Eagle Donovan McNabb, the Eagles lost another long-time player in Brian Westbrook. His final season in Philadelphia wasn’t so great, but it did give LeSean McCoy the opportunity to get some serious play time and set the Eagles [...]

Posted on 22. Dec, 2009 by Tex.

Keep Brian Westbrook in some function as an Eagle
I haven’t heard much about Westbrook after he was shelved after his second concussion. I expect him to retire and deservedly so. He shouldn’t risk his health any further; like with Joe Frazier after his fight with prime Muhammad Ali, it may be time to [...]

Final thoughts: Eagles vs. 49ers

Posted on 20. Dec, 2009 by Mike.

Not to far away from kickoff and these are some of my final thoughts before today’s game:
- Offensively, I’d love to see a run game established early. I’m not looking for any one player to take the lead here, I’d like to see a three headed monster between LeSean McCoy, Leonard Weaver, and Michael [...]
