From ESPNDallas: Dallas Cowboys Marion Barber (thumb), Jay Ratliff (knee), Allen Rossum (hamstring), Gerald Sensabaugh (thumb) and DeMarcus Ware (foot) were on the injury report. Only Rossum did not practice, and don't expect him to play Sunday at Philadelphia. We did notice that Rossum was wearing a practice jersey. Also, Miles Austin, who tweaked his groin during the Seattle game last Sunday, isn't on the injury report. Make the jump. From DC.com: Philadelphia ...

Philadelphia Eagles Week Eight Report Card

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:19:00 -0500

Make way for the big man as he helps the Birds roll.In a game that could set the tempo for the rest of the season, the Eagles showed up with their A-game and took care of their hated rival, the New York Giants.A beat-down to the tune of 40-17 is a great way to make a statement to not only to the rest of the league, but to themselves. They've shown the rest of the league that they can stick with the best that the NFC has to offer, and have instilled some confidence in themselves that they ...

Eagles Rebound, Dunk Redskins

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:48:25 -0500

Well that was fun. After one of the worst weekends in recent memory, the Birds rebounded to smoke the Redskins 27-17. The contest really wasn't even that close. The Eagles jumped to an early 17-point lead in the first half on the strength of some big plays from both the offense and defense along with a few Redskins misuces, and they were able to put things on cruise control in the second half. Washington added seven late in the fourth, when the game was basically already decided. ...

Eagles Should Use Situational 3-4 Set

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:55:00 -0500

This man could be the key to the 3-4 working in Philly.With all of the problems the Eagles are having with their linebackers this year, it's going to take some creativity on the part of Sean McDermott to give the guys breathers and to create pressure from the second level.One way to do that would be to use the team's best pass-rushers in some different ways. One way would be to stand them up as outside linebackers and allow them to rush from the outside in a 3-4 set on obvious passing...

Training Camps In The Summer Is STUPID

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:01:38 -0500

Eagles' defensive end Chris Clemons was taken to the hospital Tuesday because of dehydration, again begging the question, why do football teams practice in the summer? (For more on the actual story, read here.) Seriously though, can someone please explain to me why in the world guys suit up in full pads and do two a days in 80+ degree heat? Wouldn't you think that with the number of players that inevitably head to the hospital every summer the NFL would get the hint? Or how about when one of their players dies, like Korey Stringer of the Minnesota Vikings did in 2001. Stringer died of heat stroke after 100+ degree temperatures rocked the region. It doesn't get to 100 in Minnesota in September folks. People do not die from heat stroke in September. To avoid having these stupid training camps during the hottest part of the year, move the season back a month or a month and a half. Believe me, there is just as little going on in mid March as there is in early February. I think this NFL obsessed country would watch the commercials, I mean the worst game of the year, I mean the SuperBowl in March just as fervently as they do in February. Hey, you might even get more fans to watch, considering we'll have more players around to watch.

Raiders pass rush

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 20:22:00 -0500

The Oakland Raiders have made numerous off-season additions and they don't appear to be slowing down yet, even with being dangerously close to the salary cap. The team has signed two defensive lineman over the past couple days and were pretty close to acquiring a third. Out of all the moves they've made, these may have been the most beneficial

Eagles steals, cuts, and rumors

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:38:20 -0500

So a lot of Eagles fans are shocked the team took a stab at Randy Moss and that they were willing to pay so much. The question was how could they afford to pay so much after signing LB Chris Clemons and CB Asante Samuel. Well the answer is pretty simple, Clemons and Samuel were both absolute steals. Yea I know how could Asante Samuel's 6-year $57.14 million be a steal.

Eagles make their move, Samuel and Clemons

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 17:14:22 -0500

Looking to boost the talent on an aging defense the Philadelphia Eagles hit the free agent market in a big way. In very non-typical fashion the Eagles spent money like there was no tomorrow, showing the urgency of a team desperate to get back into the playoffs. The first move is official, its the long rumored signing of corner back Asante Samuel. The second, could come tomorrow or within days and thats defensive end Chris Clemons.

Eagles to sign Chris Clemons

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:46:58 -0500

It looks like the Eagles are making more moves on the defensive side of the ball. The Eagles are reportedly going to sign free agent defensive end/linebacker Chris Clemons. Clemons started his career with the Redskins, and played for the Raiders last season. He had a career year last year, accumulating 8 sacks. It appears that Clemons will be the guy that replaces Jevon Kearse at defensive end.
