Westbrook totaled 130 yards and tied a franchise record by scoring four touchdowns. Let's hope Brian has something left for the G-Men on Sunday. The Eagles will most certainly need him to be at his best. Here's the [...] Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:52:26 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/402932 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/402932 Shawn Andrews, remember him? The All-Pro guard returned to the Eagles' locker room yesterday for the first time since undergoing back surgery on October 21. Andrews is eager to return to the field, but understands the rehab process takes time. He had this to say about the chances of returning this season: "I don't know what [...] Tue, 02 Dec 2008 13:30:19 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/400992 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/400992 December is upon us. Snow will fly. Temperatures will drop. Christmas bells will ring. But things in the rough 'n' tumble NFC East are heating up. Four crucial matchups will decide which team takes the division crown, with the Eagles participants in three of the four games. As we drive toward the playoffs, let's breakdown [...] Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:38:31 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/399797 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/399797 Quite possibly the most bizarre post game interview I've ever seen. It starts off normal but then takes a trip on the wild side. Check it out: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:39:30 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/397213 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/397213 It was a bountiful Thanksgiving for the Eagles and their bleeding-green fanbase. The Birds pummeled the Cardinals 48-20 to keep their playoff aspirations alive. Unlike a week ago, there are plenty of positives to reflect on, as well as some negatives. Here's another look from the Eagle Eye: Joselio Hanson, not Lito Sheppard, started the game [...] Fri, 28 Nov 2008 16:42:00 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/395991 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/395991 The Philadelphia Eagles couldn't have picked a better time to play their best game of 2008. In particular, much maligned quarterback Donovan McNabb. The offense rolled up 437 yards and a season best 48 points. The defense held the high-octane Arizona Cardinals attack to just 260 yards and forced four turnovers. Brian Westbrook, playing on [...] Fri, 28 Nov 2008 01:35:44 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/395145 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/395145 Everyone's favorite office linebacker returns. Happy Thanksgiving Eagles Nation. Thu, 27 Nov 2008 16:05:05 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/394707 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/394707 Doubtful in the NFL means out. The stinger suffered by Asante Samuel last Sunday against the Ravens will sideline him for tonight's game against Arizona. Not good news considering the Cardinals bring in the second ranked pass offense and a deadly trio of receivers in Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald, and Steve Breaston. The Birds will [...] Thu, 27 Nov 2008 15:21:22 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/394682 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/394682 Around 8:30pm tomorrow night feathers will be flyin' as the Eagles and Cardinals engage in a Thanksgiving tussle. Let's hope Philly dosen't get stuffed. I would hate to see Donovan plucked from the lineup. The Eagles can not afford to play foul. Alright, enough of my stupid puns. Let's talk football. I'll be watching this [...] Wed, 26 Nov 2008 16:55:32 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/393285 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/393285 Actor /Humorist/Football enthusiast Nick Bakay is famous for uttering these words: "The numbers never lie." While I am certain Nick isn't the first to speak these four words, he is only person I can recall off the top of my head. In light of Donovan McNabb's recent benching, there has been a plethora of [...] Tue, 25 Nov 2008 18:23:31 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/391706 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/391706 Besides the infamous benching that took place in Sunday's brutal loss to the Ravens, I witnessed a host of other negatives and a few positives too. Here's a look from the Eagle Eye: L.J. Smith is still invisible. Lito Sheppard needs a new address in 2009. For the third time this season Sheppard got caught peaking in [...] Mon, 24 Nov 2008 20:49:22 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/390396 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/390396 According to Head Coach Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb will be the starting quarterback Thanksgiving night when the Eagles play host to the 7-4 Arizona Cardinals. Due to the short week, Reid apparently feels Donovan gives his team the best opportunity to compete. After seeing Kevin Kolb for a half yesterday this comes as no real [...] Mon, 24 Nov 2008 12:30:04 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/389635 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/389635 The Andy Reid era in Philadelphia has suffered its share of turmoil. Three straight NFC Championship defeats, the T.O. debacle, a Super Bowl loss, injury-plagued campaigns in 2005 and 2006, last year's disappointing 8-8 record, and what occurred on Sunday: The benching of Donovan McNabb. For the first time in his NFL career, McNabb [...] Sun, 23 Nov 2008 20:11:12 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/388657 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/388657 After missing his third straight day of practice it seems likely that Brian Westbrook will not play versus the Ravens. Head Coach Andy Reid said the following regarding Westbrook's bum knee: "He still has some swelling in there," Reid said. "We want to get that out." According to the Daily News article backup Correll Buckhalter is making [...] Sat, 22 Nov 2008 19:13:04 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/387531 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/387531
