I was saddened to hear that former NFL linebacker Junior Seau died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was found by his girlfriend in their Oceanside, California home with a wound to his chest area. This was especially close to home for me, being he was a former USC linebacker. This was a shock to every close [...]

Unfortunately for Gregg Williams, I think “suspended indefinitely” could become “suspended permanently” after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell gets the chance to sit down and systematically go through the sound of the Saints game vs. the Niners this past season. His timing couldn’t be worse as the NFL turns up the focus on concussion injuries. Documentary filmmaker [...]

Many Texans not happy with Ryans trade

On the surface, it would seem that the Houston Texans motivation for moving two-time Pro Bowl LB DeMeco Ryans to the Philadelphia Eagles was based on business. They only got a fourth-round pick (plus the swap of the thirds), but cleared some $6 million in cap space off the books for this year. So [...]

Back in 2010, I wrote on this site that I really wanted to go after the bust from the Miami Dolphins, Ted Ginn, Jr. He certainly owes Devin Hester a Christmas card after the Dolphins took him ninth-overall in 2007, after they got drunk on Hester’s bananas 2006 season as a returner. And [...]

On Friday, the Washington Redskins made a blockbuster trade with the St. Louis Rams for the second overall pick in April’s draft. The price paid to jump up four spots was three first round picks and a second round pick. All signs of what the Redskins will do with the pick point to Baylor’s Robert [...]

The Eagles will be battling Robert Griffin III two times a year throughout his career because the Washington Redskins have agreed to a deal with the St. Louis Rams to acquire the second pick in this year’s draft. The Redskins have agreed to give the Rams their first round pick in 2012, 2013 and 2014, plus [...]

Peyton Manning Is The LeBron James Of The NFL: A Choker In Big Games

All the Peyton Manning talk is over the top. Whichever team gets him isn’t going to win a Super Bowl. Manning isn’t a big game quarterback. He plays his best football during the regular season, not in the playoffs. Remember he has won only one Super Bowl and threw two interceptions in that game and [...]

He’s in some major hot water for [...]

Normally, I would keep each position group separately. But, because the productivity of these two units go hand in hand, I have decided to discuss them together. The units I’m talking about are the Eagles’ tight ends and offensive lines. At the beginning of the 2011 season, Philly’s offensive line was a discombobulated unit. Honestly, to [...]

2012 NFL Offseason: The Eagles Wide Receivers

Haran Knight — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:09:18 +0000

Categories:

If there is one unit on the Philadelphia Eagles that epitomizes their disappointing season it was the wide receivers. There were many factors heading into the season, but the bottom line is they just have an underperforming season. Whether it was a dropped pass, lost fumbles after the catch or passes that bounced off a receiver’s [...]
