It’s going to be heart check time for the Eagles starting receivers, DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin throughout the season. They have the capabilities of being outstanding but will they be when an opposing defense tries to punch them in the mouth. Can they be taken out of their games by tough intimidating defenses?
With Kevin [...]
One question everybody has been asking is, “Should the Eagles use DeSean Jackson as the punt returner?” So far the Eagles say yes, but I”ve heard many Birds fans are saying no.
Some fans are rationalizing that Jackson should step away from his punt returning duties in the same way that former Eagles running back Brian [...]
The Eagles have a problem at the tight end position. They’ve got a Pro Bowl level starter in Brent Celek, but they’ve got problems with the backups. I could see the Birds making some type of move at the position before the season starts.
Second year tight end Cornelius Ingram has been a big disappointment. He [...]
Eagles fans held their breath last night when Jeremy Maclin got popped by Jonathan Joseph and suffered a shoulder contusion. The Eagles have some really nice WR’s, but they aren’t terribly deep on the outside. Maclin is uber important.
But, Adam Caplan of Scout.com says that X-Rays are negative and that really is just [...]
For years during Eagles practices, head coach Andy Reid would have long conversations with his quarterback Donovan McNabb, during defensive periods. Of course Reid could have decided to talk to his quarterback after practice in the privacy of his office, but he chose to do it in front of his football team and in front [...]
Eagles tight end Brent Celek caught a pass by the goalline yesterday and linebacker Ernie Sims put his helmet in his back and knocked the wind out of him. Celek took quite a while to get up and walked slowly to the sidelines.
Nearly every member of the offensive first-team either walked over to where Celek [...]
DeSean Jackson has a Nike commercial coming out which also includes the Giant’s defensive end Justin Tuck, Knick’s forward Amar’e Stoudemire, Celtic’s guard Rajon Rondo and USA Olympic sprinter Sanya Richards.
Jackson has a line in the commercial where he says to the students, “who’s been eating hummus”.
This is going to be an interesting year for [...]
I remember standing by DeSean Jackson’s locker a couple of years ago after Jeremy Maclin was drafted. Jackson was being questioned by reporters and I could tell that he wasn’t pleased by what he was being asked.
Jackson was being questions about Maclin taking his job as the team’s punt returner and threatening him as the [...]
In the Eagles red zone work the other day, they lined up their young tight ends on the same side with rookie Clay Harbor inside on the line and 2nd-year veteran Cornelius Ingram outside in the flanker spot off the ball. Harbor occupied the linebackers inside with a curl route, while Ingram ran a slant [...]
It was quite a scare experienced by the Eagles and their fans yesterday when Eagles young wideout Jeremy Maclin lay on the ground grabbing his knee in pain as head coach Andy Reid stood over him. There was a hush which went over the practice field.
All anybody could think was season-ending injury. Thankfully that didn’t [...]
