Flash back to just one year ago. The Eagles were absolutely loaded at the running back position after signing reigning rushing champion DeMarco Murray and adding former first-rounder Ryan Mathews. The running game, easily the staple of Chip Kelly’s offense in the 2013 and 2014 season, was expected to be even more dynamic for a team that was considered a sleeper Super Bowl contender. Then everything went wrong for Kelly’s 2015…

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…

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…

There was virtually no drama for the Eagles in the first round of the 2016 NFL draft. And yet, there was a ton of excitement.

There’s not as much drama surrounding the Eagles and the 2016 draft as a typical team. Or maybe there’s more drama. I guess it all depends how you look at it. The Eagles have just five draft picks. But they also traded up to the number two overall selection for a quarterback and we still don’t know which one the team will be picking. That’s pretty dramatic.  After the obvious…

Does it Make Sense for the Philadelphia Eagles to Pick Ezekiel Elliott Eighth Overall?

March 21, 2016

Embed from Getty Images When the Philadelphia Eagles sent Byron Maxwell and Kiko Alonso to the Miami Dolphins, it was more than just a salary dump and moving on from an oft-injured ex-Oregon player of Chip Kelly’s. It was general Howie Roseman’s way of moving the Eagles from the 13th overall selection in the first round to the Dolphins’ eighth pick – a move more necessary considering Roseman says there…
