The importance...

Philadelphia Eagles Fantasy Football Projections

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  May 26, 2012
QB Michael Vick (Philadelphia) I’m projecting a down year across the board for Vick once again. He proved last year that his performance against Washington in 2010 was a fluke. I expect him to regress back to close to typical Atlanta passing stats, where he never went over 3000 yards passing, only once threw more than 16 touchdowns and averaged 13 interceptions per game from 2004...

A day after it was reported that Mike Kafka has noticeably improved arm strength in OTAs for the Eagles, it is being reported by the Courier-Post that Kafka is “running away” with the Eagles’ backup quarterback job. While Kafka is impressing, Edwards is struggling to make routine throws. There’s a reason he didn’t attempt a pass last season. If Kafka continues like this...

Jeff Garcia Would ‘Pay to Play’ for Eagles Again

Via Philly Sports World  |  May 26, 2012

Is Linebacker DeMeco Ryans All The Eagles Need?

Via Philly Sports Nut  |  May 26, 2012
The steal that brought DeMeco Ryans to Philadelphia felt too good to be true. Every Eagles fan—every NFL fan—will tell you the glaring hole in Philadelphia’s defense was the linebackers. In fact, if five more third down runs were stopped in the entirety of last season, the Birds would have made the playoffs. But every team has a similar sob story. But was bringing in...
