Any hope that the Flyers’ strong play from Game Seven of the Stanley Cup Quarterfinals would carry over against Boston was dashed less than two minutes into Game One, as David Krejci scored on the very first shot of the game for the Bruins. The7-3 loss was not only disappointing, but just plain embarrassing.
Offensively, the [...]
The Eagles wrapped up the seventh round of this year’s NFL Draft by selecting UConn inside linebacker Gregg Lloyd and USC fullback Stanley Havili. Lloyd is a tremendous athlete who is coming off a knee injury.
Lloyd is a serious head hunter, who hits with authority. He was expected to be a top draft [...]
Last year the Eagles went into the draft with the mission of improving their defensive line. This year they’ve gone in the draft with the purpose of improving their offensive line.
The started out by taking Baylor guard/tackle Danny Watkins in the first round, then Iowa guard Julian Vandervelde in the fifth round, now they’ve [...]
One guard wasn’t enough, so the Eagles drafted another offensive guard, this time it was Julian Vandervelde from Iowa. He was second team All-Big-Ten this past year.
Having played for Iowa, you know he’s a physical, run blocking guard, who has arms that look like somebody’s legs.

The Birds had flown Matthews into town and spent time with [...]
It looked for a day or two like the Eagles might get their chance to trade Kevin Kolb for some valuable 2012 draft picks, but now that the lockout has been resumed, those chances aren’t there.
Not only are the chances to trade him disappearing, but the teams to trade him to are disappearing [...]

Reid said Watkins may wind up playing left guard. The coach emphasized the rookie’s versatility in that he’s able to play [...]
In the third round the Eagles traded down with the Baltimore Ravens. They exchanged the 85th pick for the Ravens 90th pick. They received a sixth round selection for their trouble.
The Birds used the 90th pick to address their cornerback problem by selecting cornerback Curtis Marsh of Utah State. Marsh has got [...]
I think this young man could be a good player, but the Eagles could have drafted Temple safety Jaiquawn Jarrett in the 3rd or 4th round. I know they need a safety, but they drafted this youngster much sooner than they had to.
I think the reason they took him so early is because this [...]
