If you followed the Eagles this year, you know that the QB position has been an extremely hot topic with the Birds all season long. First, this was Kevin Kolb’s team. He went through OTAs and all of training camp as the undisputed starter. This was supposed to be the beginning of a new era [...]

In this week’s podcast we start by talking a little bit about the glorified preseason game against the Cowboys last week. The Eagles rested a lot of starters.

Clay Matthews: Can the Eagles Offense Contain the Freak?
Posted on 05. Jan, 2011 by Mike Burke.
I don’t know if he has another nickname, but I think “The Freak” is a pretty fair assessment. In his first matchup against the Eagles, Clay Matthews recorded seven tackles with three sacks, two tackles for loss, a pass deflection, and had three other quarterback hits. He successfully ended Kevin Kolb’s day, giving the Eagles [...]

Eagles and Vikings: Evaluating Michael Vick’s Performance
Posted on 29. Dec, 2010 by Mike Burke.
What a disappointment. In a game where we thought the Eagles would come in and take care of business, the team came out flat and let themselves and the fans down.
