Eagles Name WHO Defensive Coordinator?
Posted on 2 Feb 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Speculation has been rampant for two weeks. Ever since the dismissal of Sean McDermott, we the media have thrown every name in the proverbial book out as potential successors to the successor of the late Jim Johnson. Every name from Erin Andrews to Ziggy Stardust has been bandied about including the defensive staffs of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers, Vince Lombardi, Chuck Noll, ...

McDermott Dismissed Way Too Soon
Posted on 15 Jan 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The Eagles allowed 31 touchdown passes this season, the most in franchise history. They were the worst red zone defense the league has seen in decades. They were picked apart by geriatric QB (Kerry Collins) and rookies making their first start (Joe Webb) – not to mention Cowboys Stephen McGee in a lackluster season finale loss. There certainly was a case to be made that the Eagles defense...

A Tree Grows on Broad Street
Posted on 29 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Andy Reid is developing quite a coaching tree around the NFL. With openings looming for 2011 tempered with the collective bargaining agreement, teams may not want to go for the big fish like Bill Cowher, Tony Dungy or Jon Gruden. Perhaps they'll want to pick from one of the less-publicized but more successful coaching trees over the past decade. Brad Childress could return? Harbaugh has brough ...

MNF Eagles-Skins Rematch. Grudge Match. Dispatch… Rex GROSSMAN?
Posted on 12 Nov 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
It's all about the power of positive thinking. Call it spin. Call it delusion. There was no blowup. There was no explosion. No threats, no screaming, no war of words in the media. If you close your eyes and put your fingers in your ears screaming “LaLaLa, I can't hear you,” it makes it far easier to pretend that what happened didn't actually happen. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan yank...

Whoever is driving Eagles bus, better pull over!
Posted on 4 Oct 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Injuries, penalties, fumbles, shaky defense, shakier offense and a maddening time management gaffe added up to a you-can’t-make-this-stuff-up loss to the Redskins in Donovan McNabb’s return to Lincoln Financial Field. Rumors of McNabb's demise may have been spun incorrectly by the Eagles PR people. Aside from that, the Eagles performance still wasn't very good! Michael Vick left the game wi...

Eagles’ defense clicking — just in time for Donovan McNabb
Posted on 1 Oct 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
PHILADELPHIA — Andy Reid began Donovan McNabb Week with appropriate and well-timed praise of the guys who’ll be in charge of stopping him next Sunday.

By the end of Sunday, the Eagles had the ...

GRAHAM IMPACTS TRAINING CAMP
Posted on 5 Aug 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The old pros know. They watch a training camp practice VERY differently than a fan or the media or even an experiences sportswriter. Old Pros  and coaches employ an entirely difference perspective because they have been there. Much as a combat veteran or a grizzled veteran of any professional trenches vs. those who may have studied the academics and conventional knowledge. E...

It’s (Not) Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Posted on 20 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Training camp begins next week in Lehigh for the Philadelphia Eagles with more question marks than at any time over the past 12 years. Among these questions would be Kevin Kolb at QB, doubters of Howie Roseman's qualifications to be GM of an NFL team (see previous article), the Michael Vick Situation, Sean McDermott & the Defense, the offensive line, the secondary, Andy Reid's effectiveness...
