I’ll never fumble this Juan…
The disdain of all fantasy owners is the amount of touches that LeSean McCoy gets. We all see what he is capable of when he gets the ball in his hands. We will see an increase in touches with Nick Foles behind center. Maybe not.
OC Marty Mornhinweg: “I think LeSean is eighth in carries and fourth in total touches; I don’t think there’s a problem there. Every game is different. You have to dig into every game. And usually the ball carriers a few more carries when you’re ahead in the four minute and toward the end of the game.”
The Eagles staff is content on using the forward pass as means to getting the ball down the field. I still think McCoy will be used more than he was with Vick, but it won’t be a huge uptick in touches.

Offensive lineman Jake Scott was signed by the Eagles on Monday. He could see action less than a week later.

Nnamdi Asomugha might be the worst tackler on the field, but in this Funny or Die skit he shows us he’s the best off of it as he takes down the Nigerian prince.
This is actually pretty funny. Once the Eagles cut him he can spend more time focusing on Hollywood.

When Michael Vick got concussed in the second quarter of the Eagles’ 38-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, first it is a real shame for such a gamer.
