NFL rule changes: Running backs can no longer lower their “crown”

With player safety and concussion concerns being among the top of league priorities, the NFL has passed a rule that will no longer allow running backs (or ball-carriers) to lower the their crowns in space, using it as a weapon against their opponents.

The Eagles should draft Jarvis Jones with the 4th pick

At 6’3″ 240lbs, Jarvis Jones is the best linebacker in the country hands down. In fact, he might be the best defensive player in the country. With the 4th pick in this years draft, the Eagles should give strong consideration to drafting Jones, who would undoubtedly make an impact from day one. If the speculation that the Eagles are going to hire Todd Grantham and move to a 3...

Washington Redskins v. Philadelphia Eagles: Birds relishing the role of spoiler?

A lot has changed since the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins first met in Week 11. That game was Nick Foles’ first career start in that NFL. Both teams were 3-6. But that’s where the fortunes of the teams took divergent paths. Since then, Washington has won 5 games in a row and the Eagles….haven’t. The Skins have found that they are more blessed at the quarterback...

Eagles' secondary improved since coaching changes

In two games since Philadelphia coach Andy Reid fired defensive line coach Jim Washburn and hired veteran Tommy Brasher to replace Washburn's wide-nine scheme with a conventional front, the Eagles' secondary has suddenly become respectable. ''It's helped the defense out tremendously,'' said Kurt Coleman, who will start at safety alongside Colt Anderson...

Philadelphia Eagles: Where Do They Go From Here

At 4-9 in year 2, it’s safe to say that the ‘Dream Team’ experiment has failed.  In two years, Eagles fans have seen big time acquisitions like Nnamdi and DRC be absolute failures, Juan Castillo’s inexperience and Jim Washburn’s ego plague the defense, Michael Vick’s inability to stay healthy and make smart decisions ruin the passing game, and Andy Reid’s play calling...

No love lost between the Philadelphia Eagles linebackers and the departure of the Wide-9

It was no illusion. The Philadelphia Eagles defense played better than they had in weeks in Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It couldn’t have all been because the death knell had been blown to the Wide 9 with the firing of Jim Washburn, could it? Not all, but it certainly didn’t hurt. The linebackers  felt that new d-line coach Tommy Brasher’s more traditional...

Coleman strives to be like Dawkins

He knew Brian Dawkins was a future Hall of Fame safety.

If you think that newly promoted defensive coordinator Todd Bowles is going to run things just like Juan Castillo did in the first two weeks, you are dead wrong. You don’t fire one lousy coach to promote another. Bowles is a more experience defensive coach with a much better idea of how to maximize the talent on that side of the football.

Video: Who throws a shoe? Kurt Coleman does

The obvious response when you can’t stop a receiver from burning you, is to rip his shoe off when you tackle him and throw it off-the-field. That is what happened in Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles/Pittsburgh Steelers game. After Antonio Brown was brought down following a 20-yard gain, Kurt Coleman decided to stop him before the next [...]

With all of the different rules that defensive backs have to abide by, playing cornerback and safety in the NFL is one of the tougher tasks in sports.  You can only put your hands on receivers within the first five yards of the line of scrimmage.  You can’t make contact with them before they touch the ball.  If you don’t turn around and look at the ball on a pass thrown your...

The Eagles and Steelers could play the cleanest second half in the history of football and their game might still be the herpiest, derpiest, doopiest game of this season.
