TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns
The Ravens travel to Philly on Sunday, September 16, 2012, to face the Eagles... and one of their main concerns is to shore up their run defense after being gashed by Benjarvus Green-Ellis in their win over Cincy on Monday night...This is easier said than done. No amount of improved gap-protection scheme or refined technique can take way from what LeSean McCoy can bring to a running attack when he is on...Of course, if Joe Flacco can give you a 28-point lead throught the air going into the 4th quarter again, it won't matter...But if the game is close, as most pundits believe it will be on Sunday, Shady McCoy could be the difference-maker...The 4th year veteran out of Pitt has hit his stride.He's good for at least 25 touches a game...and has a unique cut-back technique and a stutter-step that could leave the Ravens front three and OLB's in shambles if he is not contained. Baltimore surrendered 129 total rushing yards to the Cincinnati Bengals in their first regular-season...

Eagles Week 1: The Good vs. The Bad
The Good
The Eagles are 1-0. No one got hurt. LeSean McCoy proved once again that he’s an elite running back. The defense allowed just 16 points, but they were playing the Cleveland Browns, with a rookie quarterback who threw for 188 yards. Philadelphia should have held the Browns to a low output offensively. Even though it is somewhat good, it is more so expected.

Eagles odds and ends – Maclin injured, Gilyard back, Ravens up next
Andy Reid announced after a skin-of-your teeth win against Cleveland in week 1 that wide receiver Jeremy Maclin has a hip pointer. Maclin caught 7 passes Sunday for 96 yards and was the Eagles best receiver. The fact that he was even able to play the whole game was a small victory. Maclin got roughed up on two plays, and was shaken up both times. He sat out a down after the first...

The Michael Vick Conundrum - Root for Vick or Foles?
It’s very easy to pile on Michael Vick after his 4 interception performance against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Anyone who reads this site with any regularity knows without any doubt that I’m no fan of Michael Vick. Never have been, probably never will be.
The problem is that Michael Vick is the Quarterback of the Eagles, which happens to be the team I love and would give...
Jason Whitlock: Andy Reid is “a moron” for not running more against Browns
I can’t say that I wouldn’t be unhappy with Andy Reid’s play selection Sunday if I were an Eagles fan. It’s interesting to read such fallout for the coaches of the winning team. Leave it to Whitlock to resort to name-calling. At some point that probably detracts from credibility in most people’s minds.
In a tight game the Eagles led for much of the day, Reid waited until...
