Here we will continue our series of what I would do with each player on the team this offseason if I was Howie Roseman, this time looking at the running backs. Miles Sanders Sanders only reached double digit carries in half of the games he played this year, and he is simply too talented for that to be the …
This season, the Eagles set a franchise record in rushing yards with 2,715 yards. Yes, the NFL did have one extra game this year, but if you watched the season, it was apparent how dominant the Birds could be rushing the ball. As we head into what is expected to be a busy and important off-season for the re-tooling …
The Philadelphia Eagles and GM Howie Roseman are underway with one of the most important offseasons in recent years, and will be faced with many tough roster decisions as they try to overhaul a roster that is severely over the cap. One smart addition to the roster would be 24 year old running back Marlon Mack, a former 1,000 yard …
This article is written for two kinds of people… 1. The Laissez-Faire fan whose Eagles passion doesn’t quite spill over into college football. Their Draft Day approach is groupthink: if the know-it-alls are happy, cheer like hell. Otherwise, run Howie out of town — I think? 2. The draft nerd whose Mel Kiper shrine is aglow with burning sage, praying …
No one reads Matthew Berry’s Love/Hate for the anecdotal openings. ARIZONA CARDINALS Kenyan Drake is a top 10 running back: Drake finished 2019 atop the Arizona depth chart, and, after seeing David Johnson shipped to Houston, finds himself steering the ship once again.

After Hyde signed a 1-year, $4 million deal with the Seahawks on Friday per Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, that whittled the list down to just Freeman or McCoy. The inability to sign Hyde is disappointing, …
Since Doug Pederson took over in 2016, the Eagles have taken a “committee” approach at the Halfback position. Regardless of it being Darren Sproles, Ryan Matthews, Legarrette Blount, Corey Clement, Jay Ajayi, Josh Adams, or Jordan Howard, Philly has seen its fair share of backs throughout the past four seasons. With Miles Sanders seeming to separate himself as the “lead …
Listen: there is nothing Eagles fans hate more than the Cowboys. As my fellow Eagles Nation writer Shaunak Nadkarni noted in his recent piece, former Cowboys do not have the best track record when arriving in Philadelphia. But you know who else has had a backtrack record in Philadelphia? The 2019 Eagles Receiving Corps. Trade talks between Amari Cooper and …
The NFL free agency period is set to start on March 18th at exactly 4:00 P.M., and currently, the Eagles have 18 of their players that are free agents. While a massive overhaul needs to be done, there are still key pieces to be found in a few of the pending free agents. Let’s take a deeper dive and determine …
UPDATE - 1/20: The Baltimore Ravens have retained James Urban After the Festivus of seeing Mike Groh walk, Eagles fans eagerly await the next Offensive Coordinator to be named. James Urban, the mastermind of Lamar Jackson’s 2019 MVP campaign, has recently been linked to Philadelphia. Back to back seasons have been plagued by injuries and the absence of Frank Reich. …
