NASHVILLE: When the Eagles take to the field Sunday at Nissan Stadium, Tennessee Titans standout center Ben Jones will no doubt be watching his good friend, Eagles Pro Bowl guard Brandon Brooks while he is on the field. The two were teammates, and linemates for several years with the Texans. In fact they were drafted […]
NASHVILLE: Former Eagles offensive lineman Dennis Kelly was once compared to a “bag of footballs” after he was traded in August 2016 to the Tennessee Titans for wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham. The long, talented player had been drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft following a disappointing career at Missouri where he was dismissed from the team in 2014.
As it turns out, the Titans are the ones who fleeced the Eagles. Green-Beckham was a bust and Kelly just signed a three-year extension with Tennessee. But Kelly will not get his last laugh up close and personal as he has been out for over two weeks with a mysterious illness,. He is expected to recover and rejoin the team at some point this season.
If you just look at the box score, the stats line Carson Wentz ended up with after his first game back since December 10, 2017 was not going to get him many MVP votes. The third-year signal caller was 25 for 37 for 255 yards, one touchdown pass, an interception and five sacks, good for […]
Carson Wentz shook off two brutal turnovers, five sacks and some of the expected rust from from being on the sidelines for over nine months, to lead the Eagles on a 17-play, 75-yard game-winning touchdown drive against the visiting Indianapolis Colts with just over three minutes left in the fourth quarter. The final score was […]
Eagles head coach Doug Pederson saw his offense was not coming out of his first-half funk against the Atlanta Falcons in the season opener at the Linc; so he went retro. With 7:41 left in the third quarter and trailing 6-3, Pederson called for the “Philly Special,” the trick play that will live forever in […]
The Eagles gave their fans the most memorable postseason in franchise history last year. Then follwed that up with arguably the most forgetable preseason in franchise history. The Eagles entered their final scrimmage with a record of 0-3, not scoring in five straight quarters. That rude streak continued through halftime against the Jets at the […]
Eagles players and coaches have been together now for four months; five months if you weren’t a draft pick. Over that time this group became a team, many players call it a brotherhood. Ninety young men put together to make the 53-man roster, plus eight more who land on the practice squad. Coaches will tell […]
No NFL team has defended its Super Bowl title since the New England Patriots defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 At Alltell Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida on February 6, 2005 in Super Bowl XXXIX. There have been 13 championship games played since then and there have been no back-to-back winners. If the Eagles are to break […]
Super Bowl starting tailback was obtained for a fourth round pick from the Miami Dolphins by the Philadelphia Eagles on Halloween, 2017. It sounds more like a April Fool’s Day joke than a Trick-or-Treat item. That’s what I initially thought when I heard the news that day. Despite the rumors in Miami of an unstable […]
PHILADELPHIA: The Eagles opened their 2018 preseason schedule at the Linc Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it went about as well as you would expect from a game with mostly backups on the field. The teams combined for six fumbles, four turnovers, including three interceptions and 19 penalties for 116 yards. There was […]
