Brian Westbrook saw two brain specialists this week in Pittsburgh to evaluate his ability to return to the football field. Those doctors both agreed that Westbrook will make a full recovery. This is amazing news, and I couldn't be happier for Brian as a person and Westbrook as...

Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress is expected to reach an agreement on a contract extension. This is great news for the former Eagles offensive coordinator. Don't get me wrong, Childress' decision to go after Brett Favre made Childress seem like a better coach, because...

Now that I've had a day or two to cope with that loss, I can get back to writing about it. Unlike a lot of you fans out there, after a loss I avoid all media coverage about the game for at least 2 days. The media about football is so crazy and they make [...]

Halfway through the 2009 campaign, here are the best of the best.
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Percy Harvin (WR Vikes)- The guy is explosive; there is no debating that. And Favre loves having him in the screen game. (Second choice: Autstin Collie- tell me honestly, did you know...

We know the NFL stands for the No Fun League, but this is just nuts. During the Dallas Cowboys game last week, Brent Celek scored a touchdown. His celebration was a bit weird, as it looked like the Captain Morgan pose. Well today it was revealed that it was, in fact, the Captain Morgan pose. [...]

Former Eagle (and Titan but who remembers that) Jon Runyan is considering running for congress. That's right, the offensive lineman mauler Jon Runyan. He released a statement yesterday stating his intention to run. He is currently a free agent but he has had talks to returning...

After the news that they would be without 2 cornerbacks for awhile, the Eagles promoted Jack Ikegwuono from their practice squad. They also signed Ramzee Robinson, who was cut by the Lions earlier this year.
Ikegwuono was drafted by the Eagles but couldn't hold his roster spot...

Some Random Thoughts

The Eagles Perch
| Comments
So we lost a close game. A game of inches they say. I disagree. Sure we did lose a close one that just one or two plays could have flipped the result around. I can't exactly put my finger on it but I think there's a real problem with the gameplan of this team. I [...]

Brian Westbrook returned to practice today, medically cleared and "good to go" for this weekend's matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. Kevin Curtis, Victor Abiamiri, and Chris Gocong all missed practice today.

What Does This Win Mean?

Most of us are pretty happy with the Eagles win over the Giants. I know I am. But what does a win like that mean? I think the answer may surprise you.
First off, we are now first place in the division, which is good. The stakes are higher now with each coming game, and our [...]

As we know by now, Brian Westbrook suffered a concussion during this past Monday's game against the Redskins. He is unlikely to play this weekend against the Giants but Coach Reid isn't totally ruling him out. The Eagles placed MLB Omar Gaither on injured reserve this week...
Eagles – Redskins Review
25 days ago by
The Eagles Perch
| Comments
Now before we get all excited, keep in mind this wasn't a great game. The Eagles jumped out in front early and the Redskins just couldn't recover, but it wasn't for lack of trying. The Washington franchise as a whole seems to be out of whack. This doesn't excuse us...

For the upcoming game tonight versus the Washington Redskins, we have a very big injury report. 4 Eagles are listed as 'out': Victor Abiamiri, Kevin Curtis, Omar Gaither, and Dimitri Patterson. Gaither is out for the year (hence the Will Witherspoon trade), and Curtis had his...
3 & OUT

The Eagles Perch

Has anyone seen or heard from the Tennessee Titans this year? In 2008, this team cruised to an NFL-best 13-3 regular season record, only to get bounced in the divisional round by the S.D. Chargers. Apparently they are not as solid as they were in '08. This year the team...
Salute To The Champs

Hats off to the other Philadelphia team, the Phillies. They who are headed to their second consecutive World Series. I would be remiss if I didn't mention this historic feat. It couldn't be with a better group of guys, either. Speaking of a great group of guys (and girls),...

It was just announced that MLB Omar Gaither will miss the rest of the season with a Lisfranc foot sprain. This injury will require surgery. We missed Gaither last game versus the Raiders when Jeremiah Trotter was burned by Zach Miller for a long TD. Trotter will improve, and Will Witherspoon...
What Will Witherspoon Means To You

So Andy Reid has put newest Eagle Will Witherspoon in the starting lineup in the middle. Omar Gaither is out (I assume) and Will is in. Will Witherspoon was drafted in 2002 by the Carolina Panthers. He started as a rookie and didn't leave the starting lineup until 2006 when he...

Well I don't know what I was expecting, but the Eagles made a trade at the deadline today (4pm). The Eagles acquired LB Will Witherspoon from the St. Louis Rams. With the injury (I though it was minor) to Omar Gaither and Jeremiah Trotter still working his way back, we needed help...

Listen, I know we didn't look so great yesterday, but wow everybody. Everything said about the Eagles has ranged from "they played a terrible game" to "fire everybody and move the team to Los Angeles". One of these points has merit, and I'll let you guess...
Eagles Downed by Raiders
October 18, 2009 by
The Eagles Perch
| Comments
What a horrible mess that was, huh? I mean, it's amazing that we were still in it at the end there at all. We actually played a decent game defensively, though a handful of stupid penalties and poor tackling ultimately put us down. Offensively, there's not much good to be said...
