With another game against Pittsburgh only a few days away, I got to thinking about the best Bengals/Steelers game I’ve ever witnessed. Two of them came to mind, one at home, and one at Heinz Field. In the road category, you have to go back to 2003 when Jon Kitna was quarterback and Corey Dillon hadn’t yet stormed out of Cincy. Kitna hit Matt Schobel (remember him?) in...

The Eagles selected an amazing 13 picks over the past 3 days. Even more amazing is that not a one was an offensive lineman. Let's break it down: 3 Linebackers, 2 Defensive Ends, 2 Safeties, 1 Cornerback, 1 Quarterback, 1 Wide Receiver, 1 Runningback, 1 Tight End, 1 Defensive Tackle The only pick that leaves me scratching my head is Clay Harbor, the tight end taken in the 4th round...

The deadline for NFL teams to make their final cuts has come and gone and the Eagles have trimmed their roster down for the final time heading into the regular season. While there were no real shocking moves, Dan Klecko, Jack Ikegwuonu, Matt Schobel, and last year's third round draft pick, DE Bryan Smith, were among those sent packing. With the decision to part ways with Matt...

Perhaps the most provocative preseason in Eagles history is finally coming to a close, and it could not come soon enough.  The 24/7 Vickathon ramped up enthusiasm at a time of year when there generally isn't so much, and it changed the majority of discussions from "Is Matt Schobel really gonna make this team again?" to "When will Vick play, how much will he play...

As was rumored a few days ago, the Eagles have signed tight end Tony Curtis, according to Brian Seltzer on Twitter. According to Seltzer, Curtis is recovering from a high ankle sprain and will continue his rehab with the Eagles and should have a good shot at making the team. As a veteran with some NFL experience, if healthy, Curtis should beat out Eugene Bright and Rob Myers for a spot on the

It's not an earth-shattering move, but when you are desperate for some depth at tight end, these are the kind of signings that happen. According to an NFL.com blog, the Eagles are "on the verge" of signing veteran tight end Tony Curtis. Curtis, who had spent two years with the Cowboys and part of this preseason with the Chiefs, has been brought in by the Eagles, who...

We haven't discussed most of the injuries that occurred during this year's training camp, outside the season-ending variety suffered by Stewart Bradley and Cornelius Ingram.  There were a lot, including most recently Todd Herremans, who is likely held out for the entire preseason with a "stress reaction" in his foot.  For one thing, the majority of injuries haven...

Cornelius Ingram tore the same ACL he tore last season; I wouldn't want to be a fan of the green and white right now. -Tas

The word has just been released that tight end Cornelius Ingram has suffered an ACL tear and is presumably heading for the injured reserve list and thereby out for the season.   Ingram underwent an MRI this morning and the news is not good.  Fortunately, rookie free agent Eugene Bright has looked very good in camp as a big, imposing player who can catch. He lacks experience...

Nobody appreciates a fullback right now like an Eagles fan.  No disrespect to Dan Klecko, but this team just went an entire season without a true lead blocker, and far longer since anyone even remotely effective has played the position.  It's time to see what this offense can do with a different type of weapon in the backfield. Leonard Weaver instantly makes...

After 10+ years we know the drill. Reporter asks the same old questions, Reid avoids answering the questions, reporter doesn't ask a follow-up question to get a true answer from Reid, interview ends, and fans become frustrated.So instead of wasting our time bashing another Reid interview, let's look at what Reid maybe said by not saying anything...- Over praising Herremans...

Are we pleased with the Eagles off-season acquistions? Or are we upset? Do we still need more time before giving our final answer? The answer is probably the later of the three, but at this point of camp we should have a decent idea of what we got... Asante Samuel: Injured for the better part of camp, but his place on the team is a no-brainer. Samuel is the Eagles starting left...

The Philadelphia Daily News Matt Schobel has looked across the line of scrimmage and seen his brother, Aaron, before.

Only a miracle is going to keep Donovan McNabb in Philly beyond the next 5 games of this season. And, God willing, Andy Reid's is out the door with him. But who else are the Birds going to be missing next season? A quick look at the roster, expiring contracts, and potential cap hits has me saying goodbye to these gentleman during their farewell tour of Philadelphia. QB: Donovan...

Eagles Linebacker Takeo Spikes suffered a torn rotator cuff in Philadelphia's 10-6 win over Dallas. Coach Andy Reid said he was not sure when Spikes sustained the injury, but that he played much of the game hurt. "We'll just see how he does, if we manage it or not," Reid said. "We'll see how he's able to handle that." Spikes was able...

Football season is still a long way off, but with minicamps starting up this weekend it's hard to not start looking forward to the coming season. The Eagles will begin their minicamp today and there are a few intriguing stories that are already developing as we look to the new season. *Lito Sheppard He's still on the roster, so Lito will be coming to minicamp.
