With the Eagles making the transition to a 3-4 defense, they’ve got a number of players leftover from their 4-3 scheme that could have some trade value elsewhere. Right now the Eagles have too many 4-3 defensive ends. Trent Cole, Brandon Graham, Vinny Curry, and Phillip Hunt are all still on the roster, but it [...]

Eagles wide receiver Jason Avant was brutely honest and the Eagles were humiliated by the Giants 42-7 in the final game of the Andy Reid era and the 2012 season.
“I’m not a GM, so I don’t know (what will happen),” Avant said to PhiladelphiaEagles.com. “But one thing I do know is that we need guys [...]

Last week, the Birds were outplayed by both the offensive and defensive lines of the Detroit Lions. It wasn’t a shock that the Eagles lost the game because they know you win or lose games in the National Football League on the offensive and defensive lines. This is the reason the Eagles have spent so [...]

Eagles’ GM Howie Roseman considers the practice squad as part of his available roster in case somebody gets injured during the season. The GM and the Birds seem to be taking some serious risks with their roster by going to battle heavy with six defensive ends and four running backs.
The Birds are very strong at [...]

Potential Breakouts
Jeremy Maclin: In 2011, Maclin didn’t take another step forward in his growth as a wide receiver. After catching 70 passes for 963 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2010, the 24-year old’s numbers dipped across the board, hauling in 63 passes for 859 yards and five touchdowns a year ago. Maclin was limited a [...]

I was in the Eagles’ locker room today and we were interviewing defensive end Phillip Hunt. He was talking about looking forward to wearing down offensive lines by rotating their defensive linemen every few plays. The defensive line has been by far the strongest part of the Eagles defense. They make life very difficult for [...]

Even though the Eagles defense forced three turnovers, they still had trouble getting off the field on third downs to start the game. I see a defense which displays tremendous individual ability, but they seem to have a breakdown some where in the coverage, much too often.
They don’t come out and dominate the way you [...]

The Eagles defense and their defensive line in particular did a great job of playing with intensity, but they’ve got to be more disciplined. You can’t constantly get roughing the passer and off sides penalties. Hopefully they don’t have to dial back the intensity, but you can’t win games against good teams while committing all [...]

There are still quite a few position battles going on for the Eagles, but here’s how I see the 53-man roster. It’s sure to change because GM Howie Roseman is big on grabbing talent from the waiver wire.
Quarterbacks (3) – Michael Vick, Mike Kafka, Nick Foles
Michael Vick will benefit when the Eagles start game planning [...]

The Eagles impressed Thursday night as they won their first preseason game in walk-off fashion.
However, the people you expected to impress; Nnamdi Asomugha, Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson, and LeSean McCoy were non-existent in Thursday’s game. It was the backups and rookies that showed up and got this team their first win of the 2012 season.
