The Eagles Monday night confirmed that Seattle defensive coordinator Gus Bradley is coming in Tuesday for a second interview to be the team's head coach, amid signs that the process could be near a conclusion, with Bradley the front-runner.
Bradley, 46, led the Seattle defense to a first-place ranking in points allowed and fourth place in yards. He spoke with Eagles officials Saturday in Atlanta, the day before the Seahawks' 30-28 playoff loss to the Falcons.
Bradfley will be the first of the 11 identified Eagles candidates to be brought back for a second interview, and many people around the league, including players, expect him to be hired to succeed Andy Reid.
Hes the best teacher Ive ever been around, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said this season. Hes so thorough, so thoughtful, and hell go to such lengths to find ways to make sense of the information so the guys can understand it in practical ways.
It doesnt matter how good we teach. Its how well they learn. I think that connection is really clear with Gus. Hes great at it.

On Sunday Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll iced the kicker and it backfired as Matt Bryant missed the first kick but made the second giving the victory to the Falcons. Overlooked in all of this is the fact that the Seahawks D allowed the Falcons to march down and get into field goal range quicker than it takes to set and forget a Ronco Rotisserie cooker chicken. As you can imagine...

1) QB Geno Smith, West Virginia The knock on Geno Smith continues to be his size. He lacks the typical frame for a starting NFL quarterback.He’s a pocket passer and not a prototypical scrambler per se, which does translate well into Andy Reid’s style of offense. Also, this presents a huge problem when it comes to his ability to absorb hits and remain uninjured. Next, his throwing...
