With Carson Wentz gone, Jalen Hurts steps up to the plate. But does the Front Office trust him as the franchise guy? McNabb. Vick. Foles. Bradford. Wentz. Hurts. For the sixth time in twelve years the Eagles will start the season with a new QB1. The franchise leads the NFL all-time in games started by black quarterbacks, and all signs …
Three years ago, the Eagles were coming off of a Super Bowl win and in prime position to be a contender for years to come. Now, all anyone can think about is the deep mess that the team is in currently. The cap situation is dire, the quarterback controversy is as hot as ever, and the personnel lacks young, impactful …
Taking a Wide Receiver with the 6th pick would represent a fundamental misunderstanding of how football games are won and lost. Thanks to the late-game heroics of Nate Sudfeld, the Eagles enter the 2021 NFL Draft with the 6th overall pick. Since 1999 the Eagles have only been poised to draft a star this early four other times, nabbing Pro …
Rejoice Eagles fans (and football fans for that matter) – the NFL season is upon us and the Birds are just days away from taking their first competitive snap since January. After a long offseason that included major uncertainty of whether the environment would be safe enough to play, the NFL has managed to implement protocols that have kept the …
Howie Roseman has been active in Free Agency — but has he done enough? The beauty of NFL Free Agency is that while sports has ground to a halt, football’s market is alive and well. If you have only been paying attention to Adam Schefter in these trying times, perhaps you would not even know they are trying at all. …
With the departure of the veteran Left Tackle, a new hole emerges in the Eagles’ Offensive Line. Like an overripe strawberry pumped full of inorganic steroids, or a corgi whose strut leaves Tyra Banks agape, Jason Peters’ arrival in free agency has Philadelphians staring. The BodyGuard has lined up in the trenches in midnight green for eleven seasons, being named …
*to be read to the tune of Stars and Strips Forever* Perhaps the most sweepingly unoriginal aspect of my personality: I’m a white guy from a Philadelphia suburb who likes sports and politics. It might fall second to my stand up aspirations but remains staunchly cliché either way. As such, 2020 is an exciting year for me. The Eagles get …
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 …
Generally, the 4th preseason game generates the least fan interest among the 4 preseason games. The reason for this is because none of the starters play. Week 3 is treated as a regular-season dress rehearsal, so teams across the NFL rest their starters for week 4. The Eagles specifically played their starters on offense and defense into the 2nd quarter. …
We’ve heard this story before – a team’s starter gets hurt in the preseason and goes down for the season. In the past, we’ve seen veterans such as Tony Romo, Jordy Nelson, and Sam Bradford all go down during a preseason game and lose their entire season to injury. Just last season, rookie Derrius Guice tore his ACL in a …
