For a talented group of receivers that includes DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, this Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver corps is not producing very many yards after the catch (YAC).Andy Reid and the Eagles have been running a version of the West Coast Offense for years here. One of the longtime staples of this style of offense is setting up your receivers to get yards after the catch.Quick inside slants, bubble screens and other short to intermediate passes that are designed to get the ball into the hands of your playmakers out in space are the backbone for this type of offense.However, that seems to be severely lacking this year for the Eagles.Where have these plays been? Do they not run the inside slants too often because Jackson and Maclin are smaller receivers that just aren’t built to take the kind of hit you might get when going over the middle?We can’t really point to the offensive line as the problem because these plays would actually help the struggling line’s performanc...

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...

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.

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...

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!
