Looking at the D-Line 15 Aug 2013 | 08:40 am
The Eagles defensive line had a bizarre start to the season. Some of the players struggled and others starred. What makes it so confusing is that the guys didn’t do what we expected. Fletcher Cox is i...
There Will Be Math 14 Aug 2013 | 07:00 pm
5, 6 or 7? That is the question. As in…how many defenders are in the box? If the number is 5, run the ball you must (as Yoda would say). Chip Kelly’s offense is really based on simple principles. Crea...
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the 3-4 13 Aug 2013 | 08:50 pm
I’m a 4-3 guy. Always have been. Always will be. Tom Landry invented it. Buddy Ryan perfected it. The 4-3 is the defense that any good person should want his team to run. Unfortunately, times are chan...
Competition Talk 13 Aug 2013 | 09:40 am
The Eagles have a QB competition. And a backup RB competition. And all kinds of DB competition. Heck, when you’re coming off a 4-12 season and you have new coaches and schemes, not many people are saf...
Eagles Trade for a WR 13 Aug 2013 | 02:51 am
The Nate Menkin era comes to a close in Philly. The Eagles traded the backup OL to the Texans for WR Jeff Maehl. While Maehl isn’t a household name, he is a great fit. He played for Chip Kelly at Oreg...

Okay, let’s talk about the QB competition. How do things look after the preseason opener? Michael Vick is in the lead. Both QBs played well, but Vick was better. Vick showed arm strength, accuracy, po...
Sunday Practice Wrap + Cary Williams 12 Aug 2013 | 08:08 am
Since the Eagles played on Friday night, practice today was not in pads. You normally wait until the third day after a game to practice in pads. During the season, games are on Sunday, meetings are on...
Detailed Game Review – NE 31, PHI 22 – Preseason #1 12 Aug 2013 | 02:01 am
There is no use in me writing too much about the game from an overall perspective. It was the preseason opener and you don’t want to make too much of anything that happened, good or bad. It was obviou...
DGR – NE 31, PHI 22 – The Defense 11 Aug 2013 | 01:11 am
These DGRs will take a long time since there are new schemes and new players. So I’m posting the defense first. You can read this while I go to work on the offense. As bad as things looked early on, t...
NE 31, PHI 22 10 Aug 2013 | 08:47 am
First thing for me to say…it was really weird to watch the Eagles play the 3-4. Normally I can lock on to what to watch very quickly. I found myself feeling lost for the first few series. My beloved 4...
