The Philadelphia Eagles have designated a lot of time recruiting multiple backs during this past offseason, either through free agency (Mike Bell) or the draft (Charles Scott). Because of the size of the acquired backs, and the deadly skill set young LeSean McCoy brings, it is leading many fans to believe the Birds are going to a more evenly split offensive scheme under first year starting QB Kevin Kolb for the 2010 season. It is undeniable ...
Philadelphia Eagles backup QB Michael Vick was, or wasn't, involved in an altercation in the early hours last Friday, that much we all know. We also know that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell could enforce a multiple-game suspension on Vick for violating league policies. Vick made the right move and decided to leave his birthday celebration before any shooting took place, but he could still face infractions simply for making the NFL ...
  The Philadelphia Eagles are not only forming a squad to play football on Sundays'—they've also assembled one very sexy 2010 cheerleading squad to get the fans of Philadelphia that much more into the game. Introducing the ladies in charge of carefully selecting the Philadelphia Eagles cheerleading squad: Barbara Zaun and Suzy Zucker Out of thousands of candidates, both Barbara Zaun (Director of Cheerleading) and Suzy Zucker (Cheerleaders Choreographer) have the rigorous job of ...
How much easier will life become now that the Philadelphia Eagles have an expected compliment to his skills, a player who can take some of the pressure off Trent Cole to help aid him in getting to the QB? Well, if rookie DE Brandon Graham pans out like everyone hopes he will, life will be melted butter for the Pro Bowl defensive end, Cole. In 2009, Cole's presence required a double team, sometimes ...
When news broke last summer that the Philadelphia Eagles' greatest Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson had tragically lost his battle with melanoma, everyone associated with the Eagles felt a sudden sense of sadness. But the Eagles knew that through this period of sorrow they had to find the best candidate to replace the man the contributed 10 years of his life building one of the greatest defensive units in the NFL. During Jim Johnson's ...
When the Philadelphia Eagles moved up 11 spots in the 2010 NFL Draft, I thought safety Earl Thomas was without a doubt going to become an Eagle—I was wrong! Instead, the Birds used their 37th overall selection to take South Florida's Nathaniel Allen. There were fans like me who was estatic over the selection, but there was also fans who groaned at the choice. They were groans of displeasure that the Eagles didn't ...
Alright NFC East Fans, the first round slide was a success so I decided to recap the Beast for day two as well. A ton of trading occurred on the second day of the NFL draft, some inside the division some not. We are through three full rounds with four, five, six, and seven on deck tomorrow evening and there are still a good amount of players who could contribute in ...
The Philadelphia Eagles had a very busy day today, doing a ton of shuffling around on the draft board and continuing their theme from the first round. With the 37th overall selection, the Philadelphia Eagles did draft safety Nate Allen out of South Florida. Allen is expected to be an immediate starter at free safety for the Eagles who are still trying to fill Brian Dawkins' void. Allen has some work to ...
The Philadelphia answer yet another need in the second round (37th overall) in the 2010 NFL Draft by drafting South Florida product safety Nathaniel Allen.  Many Eagles fans were hoping for Southern Cal's Taylor Mays, but the Eagles went with Allen who was an outstanding safety for the Bulls. At 6'0", 207 pounds, Allen has an excellent combination of size and athleticism. Nate Allen has good balance, quickness, and foot agility, while displaying ...

It was only a few seasons ago Eagle fans believed they were in business at LB when they had the "ax-man" Jeremiah Trotter and then went out to sign Takeo Spikes in the offseason. It was a short lived ...
