Time to put up or shut up for the Philadelphia Eagles

PLAYERS: Andy Reid,  Michael Vick
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles

The longest tenured coach in the NFL right now is Andy Reid. He has been the coach in Philadelphia since 1999. Since he has taken over the Eagles, they have won 6 division titles. Been to the NFC Championship game 5 times(which he is 1-4), and has made it to the Super Bowl just 1 time (which he lost to New England 24-21). Since 1999 the rival Giants have made it to the Super Bowl 3 times, and winning twice. That doesn’t really sit well with Eagles fans. Philadelphia has lost their last 3 playoff games, and even worse not even making the playoffs last season. The 2011 season may have been the most disappointing season for Reid and the Eagles. After the lockout all eyes were on the “Dream Team”, and everyone was picking them to not only win the division, but make it to the Super Bowl. A promising first win of the year against St. Louis, was quickly forgotten after 4 straight losses. Heading into their bye week the heat was starting to turn up on Reid.

New Birds Who Have a Real Shot at Making the Philadelphia Eagles Roster

Via Eagles Addict  |  August 02, 2012
As Philadelphia Eagles training camp continues, the contenders and pretenders for roster spots are starting to separate themselves a little bit.  Nothing is settled yet, of course, but there are a few new players who have a legitimate chance of making this team. By new players, I’m not referring to any of the Eagles’ draft picks because for the most part, they are all virtual...

Eagles Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Rocks Green Mohawk, Goatee

Via FootBasket  |  August 03, 2012
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie loves to do crazy things with his hair. Back when he was with the Arizona Cardinals, he rocked a nice red mohawk. Now DRC seems to be doing something similar again as he arrived to Philadelphia Eagles practice Friday rocking a green mohawk and goatee. Well, I guess it looked like a mohawk. It creates the illusion, but it really isn’t.  But what is...

2012 Philadelphia Eagles: Bring Back Terrell Owens

Via Football Nation  |  August 03, 2012
Throughout the NFL, the injury bug is biting down...Hard. Just days into camp, receiver Ron Johnson endured a dislocated ankle and Riley Cooper suffered a broken left collarbone. Philadelphia Eagles' head coach, Andy Reid, has yet to confirm the addition of any replacement free-agent receivers.  If the Eagles are serious about winning, then they should bring in their old friend...

One by one, the Eagles' starting defensive line has been picked off by injuries, and all four of them watched Thursday's practice, including defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins, who injured his hamstring Wednesday. "We have our defensive line meetings in the training room," Jenkins joked Thursday. Jenkins said the injury is mild and the "tweak" would likely...

Andy Reid does his best Ron Jeremy, Geraldo Rivera impersonation

Via The Broad Street Journal  |  August 04, 2012
Amidst the all the news swirling around about Eagles training camp, and injuries and what not, I couldn’t help but notice that Andy Reid is approaching Ron Jeremy status with his walrus-like mustache (if it even qualifies as a mustache), and is quickly closing in on one of the worst mustaches of all time, right up there with Geraldo Rivera. Someone should tell Big Red that the...

Daily Haze: Five Post-Hype Players Worth Drafting This Year

Via The Hazean  |  August 01, 2012
No matter what I say or do, I won’t be able to convince owners who drafted Michael Vick last year that they should take him again this year. The damage has been done. It’s irreparable. Fantasy owners don’t forget, and they hold grudges. It’s part of our game. But for the other 11 owners in any given league, Vick and other post-hype players are ripe for the picking. The five...
