After four weeks of up-and-down defensive play, it looks like the Philadelphia Eagles are going to make a change at slot cornerback, with Cooper DeJean expected to take over the slot spot from Avonte Maddox moving forward, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN. Asked about the idea of DeJean starting in the slot over Maddox […]

After sitting through four incredibly stressful games to start the 2024 NFL season, it’s clear the Eagles’ players aren’t the only ones who need a rest but instead the Philadelphia fans too, as this last month has been a mess of emotions. Fortunately, just because the Eagles won’t be playing doesn’t mean the team can’t […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles traded a third-round pick and two sevenths to acquire Jahan Dotson from the Washington Commanders, it looked like Nick Sirianni had finally found his WR3 of the present and maybe the future. A former first-round pick out of Penn State, Dotson was a fairly productive player for Washington over the past […]

At 2-2, the Philadelphia Eagles are fine. Sure, most fans expected them to be a whole lot better than just fine, as they were widely ranked as one of the best teams in the NFC heading into the season and the clear favorites to win the NFC East versus three teams with legitimate question marks […]

Coming out of Week 3, it looked like the Philadelphia Eagles were on the right track. Down two of their top four receivers, with a third going with a concussion mid-game, Saquon Barkley continued to dominate, Dallas Goedert was unlocked as a legitimate force from the tight end position, and Vic Fangio’s defense looked much-improved, […]

After spending much of the summer working on the inside as the expected slot cornerback in Vic Fangio’s defense, Quinyon Mitchell quickly found himself working snaps on the outside for the Phiadelphia Eagles in Week 1 aft Isaiah Rodgers sufferent an injurt that left him unable to travel to Brazil. Since that fateful day, Mitchell […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles decided to release Parris Campbell in the final trim down to 53, many fans assumed that the former OSU product would stick around with his former Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator, Nick Sirianni. Ultimately, that happened, but did you know it almost didn’t? It’s true; Parris told reporters that he initially rejected […]

Through the first three weeks of the 2024 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles have rapidly become the walking wounded, with their top wide receiver, AJ Brown, suffering a hamstring injury that could keep him out of action for at least the next week and DeVonta Smith taking a massive hit from Khristian Boyd that led […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are 2-1. Yes, they have looked more bad than good at times, have suffered numerous injuries, and have inflicted almost as many wounds on themselves as their opponents have dialed up, but with a positive point differential, a choice spot in a pretty bad division, and one of the most talented rosters […]

In the aftermath of the Philadelphia Eagles’ exciting win over the Saints on Sunday, C.J. Gardner stood up for his injured teammate while Saquon Barkley praised the play of the Giants’ Malik Nabers. And Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni didn’t get much time to celebrate the win because he seemed to remain on the hot […]

The Philadelphia Eagles overcame injuries and more questionable decision-making to win a 15-12 slugfest against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni took heavy criticism from fans after the performance, and he realizes there are still a lot of the same mistakes being made. “This is not sustainable,” Sirianni said, […]

In a tight contest on Sunday between the Eagles and the Saints, the Eagles left a good amount of points on the field with some of their fourth down decision making. On two consecutive possessions bookending halftime, Nick Sirianni decided to go for it on fourth down instead of taking the three points. Both times, […]

After dropping a stunner in Week 2, the Philadelphia Eagles find themselves heading into an absolute slobberknocker in Week 3, as they will be traveling down to the “Big Easy” for a certified Louisiana shootout against the most prolific offense in the NFL right now, the New Orleans Saints. Soon fans will get to see […]

Nick Sirianni’s seat is heating up. The Philadelphia Eagles appear to be running out of patience with their head coach, who has gotten the team to the playoffs in all three of his seasons at the helm so far but appears to be squandering the amazing talent at his disposal. The Eagles’ embarrassing Week 2 […]

As the Philadelphia Eagles drove down the length of the field on their way to what they expected would be the game-winning drive, Nick Sirianni made the play call of the game, throwing the ball to Saquon Barkley on third and three to ice out and go up ten. The only problem? Barkley dropped the […]

A chorus of boos rained down on the field as the clock hit zero at Lincoln Financial Field on Monday night, marking a 22-21 loss for the Philadelphia Eagles against the Atlanta Falcons. Boos from Philadelphia fans aren’t unusual, but these felt warranted. This wasn’t just any one-point loss for the Eagles. Philadelphia had a […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles take the field against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2, there will be one player above all others at the top of Nick Sirianni’s scouting report: Bijan Robinson. Widely considered the best running back prospect to enter the NFL since… probably Saquon Barkley, Robinson didn’t exactly have a record-breaking rookie season, […]

The Philadelphia Eagles put together an encouraging 34-29 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, and they are now preparing for their Week 2 contest against the Atlanta Falcons, which will take place on Monday Night Football. While the Eagles have had some extra time to get ready for this one, concerns began […]

In Week 1, Jalen Hurts was a different player when a snap opened up with motion. Afforded a chance to get additional clues about what the defense had planned pre-snap, Hurts shined, getting the ball where it needed to with ease while largely evading the negative plays that pop up from time to time for […]

As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to face off against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2, one of the biggest questions surrounding the match has to be how Vic Fangio’s defense will fare against Kirk Cousins and Zac Robinson’s offense. Would the Eagles’ pass rush be able to dominate the Falcons, who have a pretty good […]

The Philadelphia Eagles opened their 2024 campaign with a thrilling 34-29 victory over the Green Bay Packers, and there were quite a few stars for Philly on both sides of the ball. On defense, Philly’s starting linebackers in Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean both had big games with Devin White forced to miss the contest, […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles took the field in Brazil last Friday for the season opener, no one had more eyes on them than Cam Jurgens, the third-year lineman out of Nebraska who was earning his first start at center after the offseason retirement of Jason Kelce. Now granted, saying goodbye to Kelce was never going […]

With Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season officially in the books, it’s hard not to identify Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley as one of the league’s big winners. Making his debut in Midnight Green in quite possibly the weirdest circumstances imaginable, in Brazil on a Friday, Barkley absolutely dominated on the grounds and […]

If you just read the Philadelphia Eagles box score in the paper on Saturday morning, you should think the team had a pretty dominant win over the Green Bay Packers, as they never trailed by more than a score and really pulled away late in the game,  riding a lengthy drive in the fourth quarter […]

There are not many opportunities that will prompt two teams to compete on neutral ground aside from the Super Bowl. The Jordan Love-led Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles with star Jalen Hurts under center are going to get this chance. However, one squad may have an edge over the other in Brazil. Nick […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are starting their season with a big matchup against the Packers in Brazil. Eagles players are not thrilled about the trip, including Darius Slay, but coach Nick Sirianni says there are no issues. He spoke to the media about the trip and the team’s attitude toward it, per Pro Football Talk. “We’re […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the most well-rounded rosters in the NFL. Philadelphia has had a history of making smart roster decision under the leadership of general manager Howie Roseman. However, that can lead to some very tough decisions on the NFL’s roster cut deadline. Roseman and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni spoke with […]

When news broke that James Bradberry made the Philadelphia Eagles’ 53-man roster, fans had questions. Sure, it would cost more to keep him on the roster than release him, a fact that fans have pointed out early and often in the hours proceeding, but he looked back during the preseason, missed time during camp, and […]

While much has been written about the pre-existing relationship between new addition Jahan Dotson and Saquon Barkley, as the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive weapons both call Penn State their collegiate alma mater, did you know the 16th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft actually has a relationship with AJ Brown too? It’s true, discussing his […]

After missing most of August with a hamstring injury, Cooper DeJean made his debut for the Philadelphia Eagles in the Preseason finale, playing much of the game against the Minnesota Vikings while many of the team’s starters rested on the bench. The results? Mixed. Now granted, it’s hard to really judge DeJean too harshly, as […]

James Bradberry has had a good training camp for the Philadelphia Eagles, but that hadn’t translated to the two preseason games that he played. The cornerback didn’t play in the final preseason game, which usually means that they made the roster, but head coach Nick Sirinani didn’t confirm if he would be on the team […]

After watching the Philadelphia Eagles defense go from encouraging to alarming to down-right disastrous in 2023, Howie Roseman, Nick Sirianni, and company wasted no time or resources addressing their issues in a major way, signing Vic Fangio, one of the best defensive coordinators in the NFL today, to replace Sean Desai at defensive coordinator. Through […]

After watching the Philadelphia Eagles season fall apart in a spectacular way back in January, with the team going from the best record in the NFL to an ugly Super Wild Card weekend loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there were genuine questions about the future of Nick Sirianni with the Birds. Some questioned if […]

Who is the Philadelphia Eagles’ WR3 behind AJ Brown and DeVona Smith? Is it the most tenured player in the group, punter returned-turned-offensive weapon Britain Covey? Or how about rookie sixth-round pick Johnny Wilson, who has thoroughly lapped fifth-rounder Ainias Smith for playing time? Could it be free agent signee Parris Campbell, who signed with […]

For the first time in a very long time, the Philadelphia Eagles have question marks along their offensive line, and the last few days have not done much to give Eagles fans any reason to feel comfortable that things will go off without a hitch in 2024. Yes, Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson will be […]

After being widely viewed as the linebacker of the future, Nakobe Dean entered the summer as one of the Philadelphia Eagles’ biggest question marks. On one hand, the Eagles loaded up on talent at the position in Devon White, Zack Baun, Oren Burks, and Jeremiah Trotter, the most popular fifth-round pick in Philadelphia history, which […]

Heading into the Philadelphia Eagles’ preseason battle against the New England Patriots, one of the few positional battles fans were hoping to see shake out was between incumbent right guard Tyler Steen, who was handed the position based on pedigree alone heading into the summer, and Mekhi Becton, the former New York Jets tackle who […]

After watching the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense look downright bad in 2023, with then-offensive coordinator Brian Johnson seemingly unwilling to throw the ball across the middle of the field despite having a certified YAC machine in AJ Brown, one of the most exciting developments of the summer has been the absolute dominance of Jalen Hurts as […]

When it comes to the Philadelphia Eagles, the most popular player on the roster is usually the backup quarterback… unless that player is Kenny Pickett. Initially acquired from the Steelers earlier this summer in the rare cross-state pick for pick+player swap, Pickett seemed like the sort of player who could thrive in Philadelphia, a local […]
