Eagles “D” Line Must Pressure Rodgers And Keep Him In The Pocket

Eagles “D” Line Must Pressure Rodgers And Keep Him In The Pocket

Trent Cole told me yesterday that he plans on doing some hunting on Sunday.  Brandon Graham said he’s dreaming of getting two maybe three sacks when the Eagles take on the Packers on Sunday.  That all sounds good fir the Birds pass rush must do all they can to get after Aaron Rodgers, but they’d [...]

Eagles make some roster moves

Eagles make some roster moves

Teams all over the NFL are shuffling rosters in order to get down to the 75-man limit. The Eagles are no different and they made some moves today that aren’t all that shocking.
They put Victor Abiamiri on reserve/PUP, which means that he won’t be available until Week 7 at the very least. It’s [...]

My Thoughts Eagles/Chiefs

My Thoughts Eagles/Chiefs

The Eagles failed to impress in their game against the Kansas City Chiefs last night. Sure, the Chiefs are awful and that makes it tough to accurately gauge how the different areas of the team performed, but, let’s try anyway.
What I liked…
-Brandon Graham continues to look good. He is starting now and should [...]

Graham Starting Isn’t As Important As His Contributions On Third Downs

Graham Starting Isn’t As Important As His Contributions On Third Downs

I can understand why the Eagles are making rookie first round pick Brandon Graham the starter at left defensive end but they can’t do it at the expense of having him on the field and fresh on third down.
Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott and the coaching staff must work their rotation at the position, so that [...]

Cole On Graham’s Passion: “I share that hunger with him”

Cole On Graham’s Passion: “I share that hunger with him”

When Eagles Pro Bowl defensive Trent Cole came into the league, teams talked about making him a 3/4 outside linebacker and few people took him  seriously as a defensive end because of his size.   NFL personnel executives calculated his height, weight and speed but they couldn’t calculate his desire.
Cole who wasn’t drafted until the [...]

My Thoughts Eagles/Bengals

My Thoughts Eagles/Bengals

The Eagles faced a bit of a test last night as their starters went the full first half and had to play against a nice Cincinnati Bengals team. The Bengals may have fizzled in the playoffs yet again last year, but they are back and will be a tough out this year. I [...]

Bunkley and Patterson Should Be Used At Times On Third Downs

Bunkley and Patterson Should Be Used At Times On Third Downs

I can understand why the Eagles rotate at the defensive tackle position and take starting tackles Mike Patterson and Brodrick Bunkley off the field on third down but I think both of these tackles are capable of being good pass rushers.  I would like to see them shake up the rotations and have Patterson and [...]

Trevor Laws May Be The Answer As A Third Down Inside Pass Rusher

Trevor Laws May Be The Answer As A Third Down Inside Pass Rusher

Defensive tackle Trevor Laws came to training camp with full knowledge of what time it was.  He had to either step up and prove he belonged in the NFL or run the risk of being given his walking papers by the team that drafted him in the second round.
Laws was ready after working relentlessly during [...]

Eagles And First Round Pick Brandon Graham Agree On A Five-Year Deal

First round draft pick Brandon Graham wanted to get into camp as soon as possible but he also wanted a good contract.  Last night he and the Eagles reached an agreement on a five-year deal, so he got what he wanted.
“It feels good, because I really wanted to get to training camp and Coach Reid [...]
