The former fifth-round pick has just 1.5 sacks this season, and hasn’t been nearly as impactful on the field this year as he has been in the past. What’s most disturbing to me about Cole is the attitude [...](Read more...)

Should Michael Vick fake an injury to help Eagles, Andy Reid?

Without a doubt the Philadelphia Eagles are the most desperate 3-3 team the NFL has seen in recent memory.  From QB turnovers to coaching turmoil, this Eagles team seems to be one bad outing away from a serious shakeup that could include the firing of head coach Andy Reid and or benching of quarterback Michael Vick.  It’s a volatile situation that has clearly fallen on the...

Michael Vick Not Concerned About Getting Benched

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick never lacks for confidence. When you’ve seen what he’s been through, resolve and confidence are at the top of the character trait. The Eagles as a team are already on notice. For a brief description, they don’t get it done and everyone from the head coach on down could be done. Vick himself is also on notice, because if his coach...

Rested Eagles defense practices under Bowles

With Todd Bowles in place as the new defensive coordinator, the Philadelphia Eagles were back at work and eager to move forward following a tumultuous bye week. First, players had to deal with questions about Juan Castillo. ''You know, it's a part of the business of football,'' cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha said Monday. ''We all respect him. I respect Juan...

Eagles Not Good Enough to Walk the Talk

Andy Reid and Michael Vick need to produce With the Eagles having their bye week last Sunday and sitting with record of 3-3, we weren’t subjected to another 4th quarter collapse or any post-game news conferences having to explain what went wrong.  We tune in hoping to hear the participants confirm what we just witnessed on the field. The problem with that is, when listening to...

BoomKack Choreographs Lesean McCoy’s New Touch Down Dance – Do we like it?

As I wrote this headline I realized that white people probably have ZERO clue who Boomkack is and why it’s funny. I thought about whether or not to explain cause I want my white brothers and sisters to be in on the joke. But then I was like it’s probably not that important. So I’ll just leave yall with this explanation. The following video is Diddy’s old choreography Laurieann...

2012 NFL Week 8 Picks

This week is going to be, to put it mildly, interesting. The Eagles are coming off a bye week in which Andy Reid replaced his DC and there are widespread rumors of problems in the entire front office. The Falcons, also coming off a bye, are the only remaining undefeated team. Andy Reid has never lost the game the week after the bye, including the infamously disastrous 2005 season...

Eagles CB Nnamdi Asomugha Had 'Tough Time' Being Linked To Juan Castillo's Dismissal

Nnamdi Asomugha arrived in Philadelphia just as Juan Castillo took over as defensive coordinator. Part of the criticism Castillo endured, in fact, had to do with how he used Asomugha. When the news was released, Asomugha's name was often mentioned as a critic of Castillo's. After the Lions game, Asomugha openly wondered why the Eagles changed their coverage scheme in the...

Troubleshooting the Eagles' O-Line...

The problem with Howard Mudd's complex zone-blocking scheme on the offensive line is that it is not a "plug-and-play" deal... If a guy goes down, it's not necessarily a matter of "next man up" and rolling another guy through... And it doesn't help that backup center Dallas Reynolds is getting blown off the LOS in certain down-and-distance formations...

5 Philadelphia Eagles Who Will Benefit From Todd Bowles

If you think that newly promoted defensive coordinator Todd Bowles is going to run things just like Juan Castillo did in the first two weeks, you are dead wrong. You don’t fire one lousy coach to promote another. Bowles is a more experience defensive coach with a much better idea of how to maximize the talent on that side of the football. Bowles doesn’t have any defensive coordinator...

No Changes At QB, O-Line For Eagles After Bye Week

The Eagles reconvened from their bye week Monday, and though practice was closed, indications are nothing changed on the team's offensive line, which is a mild surprise, in the wake of a dreadful performance against the Lions in the last outing. Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, who remains the starter despite 13 turnovers in six games, said he never thought he might be replaced...

Shifts along the o-line for the Philadelphia Eagles with King Dunlap back at starting LT

Since the firing of former Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Juan Castillo last week, we’ve been waiting for the corresponding shoe to drop on offense. After head coach Andy Reid’s pronouncement that Mike Vick would remain his starting quarterback and that Marty Morhinweg would continue to call plays on offense, we knew that no sizable change were coming on that side...

As a Falcons and Eagles Fan Week 8 BLOWS

Every time we get to the point in the season where the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles have to face each other I face a week of anxiety! I’ve mentioned this many times before — I’m a fan of both teams. And the past two weeks have been very nauseating since both teams had a bye the same week AND they’re playing each other right after it. As much as people criticize...

Eagles Sign C Matt Tennant, Release Steve Vallos
