During the 2010 offseason, there was a lot of talk about a new feeling with the Eagles because of the youth on the team. Kevin Kolb was about to take over the offense and was surrounded by a dynamic core of play-makers who were just as young as him, if not younger. Kolb was replaced [...]

Entering the 2010 season, the Eagles found themselves still trying to fill the void of losing Brian Dawkins to the Broncos a couple season ago. The Eagles tried to address that situation by drafting Nate Allen with their second round pick in the 2010 draft. There was some solid play from both the free safety [...]

Twitter is an amazing experience. One week ago the people whom I follow we all abuzz with talk of Kevin Kolb finally being a good QB and the defense rising to the occasion. What a difference a week makes. Now Michael Vick should be the starter, Kolb shouldn’t even be allowed to play in the [...]

With all the youth that now surrounds the Eagles, it is interesting to look at which players will develop into leaders.

There’s no question here, the Eagles got owned on the ground last week against the Cowboys. It’s no secret that when an offense can run the ball effectively, they’re going to find success. If the Eagles want to make a playoff run, it’s going to start with their front seven and shutting down Marion Barber [...]

In their match up with the San Francisco 49ers, I think all the advantages are pointing in the Eagles favor. I don’t think this is a team they particularly need help beating; however, it seems like all the cards are in their favor. To start, the game has been moved to a 4:15 start due [...]
