Weâre now ten weeks through the season and the Eagles continue to show promise. Dispatching the Falcons at home did a good job of showing both the strengths and weaknesses of this team and with those in mind, hereâs my second Eagles only mock draft of the season. Round One: Jourdan Lewis, CB â The way the Vikings are falling, …
Carson Wentz continues to look like a rookie â Sometimes he plays very poorly, sometimes he moves the ball incredibly well. Still, itâs obvious that Wentz still has a long way to go before he can join the ranks of elite NFL QBâs. More time to work on his mechanics and develop with his team should help him quite a …

This is never a recipe for success, because few rookie QBâs could play well with a team that has an inconsistent offensive line, bad receiving …
Although Sundayâs game against the Redskins is only week 6 and the first division game for the Eagles of the year, it may be a season defining game for the Birds. The Eagles (3-1) are coming off their first loss of the season suffered last week in Detroit. This week in Washington we will see, for the first time, how …
When asked if he would be ready to play on Sunday against the Lions, Eagles TE Zach Ertz responded that he is back to 100 percent and has been medically cleared by team doctors. On the other side of the ball, CB Leodis McKelvin responded “it looks like it” when asked if he would be on the field this Sunday. …
Philadelphia is a happy city today, as the Eagles absolutely demolished the Pittsburg Steelers on the way to a 34-3 win and a 3-0 record.
