Eagles starting middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans was the Birds most consistent defensive player in 2012, this is while he was playing in a 4-3. The Birds could be playing in a 3-4 alignment this year.
They will have 3-4 personnel on the field for their defense, but there’s no telling what kind of alignment they’ll be [...]

Eagles former number one draft pick defensive end/linebacker Brandon Graham has no idea what position he’ll be playing for Birds this year but he says it doesn’t matter right now because he can do whatever the Birds need him to do.

According to numerous reports, the Eagles will host Cowboys free agent linebacker Victor Butler today at the Nova Care Complex.
Butler is a 6’2″ 231 pound outside backer, who has had four years of experience in Dallas’ 3-4 defense, which gives him some value to the Birds. They’re in search of 3-4 linebackers, who can rush [...]

Specifically they’ve been asking and talking a great deal about big defensive linemen, who will play in this weekend’s Senior Bowl game.
I’ve also learned that the [...]

On paper, it didn’t look like a very good day for the Eagles linebackers. The Eagles allowed 136 yards on the ground, but that stat is misleading and I’ll explain why below.
DeMeco Ryans: Ryans had good control of the defense. He played 96% of the teams snaps on defense. He finished with six solo tackles [...]

The Eagles linebackers have come a long way. You can see it in their play versus the pass in zone coverages and in man-to-man coverages. They’re getting their hands on the football and making big plays. Their man-to-man coverage is tight, which will put quarterbacks in a bind as they try to escape the team’s [...]

The Eagles defense led the way today, but we can’t ignore the fact that they were playing against a rookie quarterback, Brandon Weeden in the first game of his career. Still it was an impressive effort for a defense that was getting little help from their offense today.
I remember when I got the news that [...]

I’ve stood on the sidelines at the Eagles practices with my eyes fixed on number 59, DeMeco Ryans, the Eagles new starting middle linebacker. I’ve waited for him to explode from one point to another and unload on somebody.
I saw something in one of the preseason games. I saw Ryans come out of his middle [...]

During my eleven years in the NFL, I learned that prior to the game, as a linebacker you’re kind of like a criminal detective, who is looking for information about your suspects. You must look at hours and hours of tape and study endless computer stat sheets about your suspects’ behavior in order to anticipate [...]

The Cleveland Browns were no match for the Eagles in their preseason game a couple of weeks ago, but there’s a chance things could be different this time around because the Browns will have their most potent weapon available on Sunday, rookie running back Trent Richardson.
Cleveland quarterback Brandon Weeden was no problem for the Birds [...]
