6 Running Backs Who Make the Most Sense for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2019

March 20, 2019

It’s no secret that GM Howie Roseman doesn’t value the running back position. Just over a year ago, the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl with a three-headed running back formation of LeGarrette Blount (formerly undrafted, signed to a one-year deal), Jay Ajayi (midseason trade acquisition), and Corey Clement (undrafted rookie). This past year, the Eagles’ leading rusher was undrafted rookie Josh Adams, who didn’t even emerge as the brief…

Embed from Getty Images The 2017 season culminated in the first Super Bowl championship in Philadelphia Eagles’ history, and the future looks even brighter for the organization. There’s an MVP-caliber franchise quarterback on board and a Super Bowl MVP backing him up. All five starters on the offensive line will return for ’18, and depth at the defensive line (Michael Bennett, Haloti Ngata) should offset the losses of Vinny Curry…

Embed from Getty Images To say this 2017 Philadelphia Eagles team is a team of destiny is an understatement. A thrilling 41-33 win over the New England Patriots not only gave the city of Philadelphia its first Super Bowl championship in its history, it ended 57 years of suffering and misery for its football fanbase. This city embraced its underdog label and used it to beat a reigning MVP…

5 Key Takeaways From Philadelphia Eagles’ 30-17 Week 1 Win Over Washington

September 10, 2017

Embed from Getty Images It’s always good to start your football season with a win. It’s especially good when that win is a 13-point road victory against a divisional opponent you haven’t beaten in five straight matchups. Carson Wentz played like a future franchise quarterback, but he wasn’t the only reason the Philadelphia Eagles won. Here are five key takeaways from the Week 1 victory. Carson Wentz showed impressive…

Eagles GM Howie Roseman Early Favorite for Executive of the Year

Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz. I could write his name 500 times in a row, 100 times for each touchdown pass he’s thrown so far this season, and it would probably be one of the best articles some of you have ever read. Maybe that reflects on my writing style, but I think it’s more proof that this city is completely infatuated with its new…

How Good Can Eagles’ Rookie Quarterback Carson Wentz Be?

September 21, 2016

He’s led the Eagles to a 2-0 record. He’s thrown for three touchdowns without an interception, the only rookie in league history to win his first two starts without committing a turnover. He’s calm, confident and poised, already drawing comparisons to both Aaron Rodgers, by All-Pro left tackle Jason Peters, and Brett Favre, by head coach Doug Pederson. His jersey is the top seller in the country, and he’s already…

Making Sense of the Minnesota Vikings’ Trade for Philadelphia Eagles’ QB Sam Bradford

September 3, 2016

Robbery. That’s the only word to describe what Eagles general manager Howie Roseman did to the Minnesota Vikings. Just days after the Vikings lost Teddy Bridgewater for the season, and possibly beyond, to a torn ACL and dislocated knee, Minnesota traded a 2017 first-round pick and a 2018 conditional fourth-round pick to the Eagles for Sam Bradford. (The pick could turn into a third-round pick if the Vikings reach the…

Philadelphia Eagles Add High-Upside Wide Receiver Dorial Green-Beckham

Embed from Getty Images The Philadelphia Eagles made an interesting move on Tuesday when they acquired second-year wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for backup guard/tackle Dennis Kelly. DGB, the 40th overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft, had already fallen out of favor with the Titans’ current coaching staff, but will get the opportunity to compete for a starting role in Philly. If you…

Projecting the 53-Man Roster for the 2016 Philadelphia Eagles

May 21, 2016

This is probably the quietest time of the offseason for the Philadelphia Eagles. Free agents have been signed, the draft is finished and no disgruntled former Heisman winning quarterbacks are still holding out of camp. The only thing worth discussing right now is which players will make the official 53-man roster for the Eagles. I’d say there are about 35 spots on this team that are guaranteed, meaning 18 are…

Complete Philadelphia Eagles Analysis for the 2016 NFL Draft

When history looks back on the 2016 Eagles’ draft class, they’re not going to care about seven of their eight picks. They’re really not. It’s all going to come back to whether North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz was able to develop into a franchise player at the most important position in sports. The pressure on Wentz is even more extreme than your typical number two overall selection because the…
