Felix Jones will be the sixth running back on the Eagles roster joining veterans LeSean McCoy, [...]

The Eagles have signed former Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones to a one-year contract.  Jones showed some of his talent as a Cowboys, but overall he was a major disappointment because he was a number one draft pick of Dallas in 2009. Jones just can’t stay healthy.  If he could stay on the field, he [...]

Many times after you play a game, you [...]

As the roster of the 2013 Philadelphia Eagles and their season is studied, analyzed, turned inside out and upside down, I decided to add my other two cents. You’ve seen the revamped secondary, but I want to take a look at the one group of Eagles players that – for me – may be the [...]

Right now, I have May 10th circled on my calendar.  This is not the date of the next Flyers or Sixers playoff game or a prime time matchup for the Phillies.  It’s the start of rookie camp for the Philadelphia Eagles, and I’m looking forward to it?   How did it come to this?  A group [...]
