For the last few years, defenses who were facing the Packers spent their time worrying about mobile, strong armed quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receivers Donald Driver and Greg Jennings. That’s still the case but the Packers tight end Jermichael Finley is becoming as much or more of a headache than the two wideouts.
Rodgers has [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The Eagles training camp is just getting started and Akeem Jordan has already replaced Moise Fokou as the starting Sam linebacker.¬† That decision by defensive coordinator Sean McDermott tells me he’s open to any of these guys being the first teamer when the season begins.
There’s a good side to the decision because he has some [...]
There’s no question that the Eagles defense was the weakness of the team last season. They struggled against both the pass and the run, and gave up over 300 yards per game.
This could be credited to many things: first year on the job for defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, the loss of Brian Dawkins or the [...]
The Eagles got in the first workout yesterday and I had my eyes on middle linebacker Stewart Bradley, who is returning to action for the first time since he had the season-ending knee injury at last year’s “Flight Night”.
Remember that many times players take a couple of years to successfully recover from off season knee [...]
Andy Reid and his staff made former Detroit Lion Ernie Sims the starter at the Will or weakside linebacker spot immediately after they traded for him.
Despite that decision, last year’s starter at the position Akeem Jordan says he want’s to show the Birds’ coaching staff that he should continue to be the starter at that [...]
Stewart Bradley limped off the field yesterday but the Birds say the middle linebacker is fine and only tweaked his calf muscle.
That’s good news for the Birds because they’ll be counting on Bradley to have a big year in the middle.¬† Bradley’s teammate Brent Celek thinks the linebacker looks as good as ever.
“Stew looks good,” [...]
Eagles new starting Will linebacker Ernie Sims says these rookie OTA’s are one of the differences between playing for the hapless Detroit Lions and playing for a team which made the playoffs in eight of the last 11 seasons.
He says he wouldn’t have minded starting his career out here as an Eagle.
”I wish I had [...]
I was pleased to see backup middle linebacker Joe Mays play with a great deal more confidence and knowledge of the team’s defense.¬† Mays has had trouble grasping the team’s defense during his two years as an Eagle.
Sean McDermott and his staff were so unsure about Mays’ grasp of the team’s defensive system that they [...]
