Eagles v. Bears: Three Things I'm Watching
7The Bears are a good team. They should be undefeated, but they've been vicitims of themselves so far this year. What is wrong with their late game defense? In the Colts game, the Bears...

Kenny, Moose and Goose
4Decent take in the WaPo, about the commentary team from the Rams game - gives them some props, but is none too flattering.
Gameday - Three things I'm watching
4The long offseason is finally over. Finally. Gameday is here and it's gorgeous. Concerns about the field seem to have been overblown. All systems are go. There's been a great deal of...

Eagles Blitz
Tommy Lawlor seems to have fired up a new blog (went live yesterday it appears). Be interested to see how it fares. I love Tommy's weekly articles on PE.com and his takes on the EMB are about the only thing I'll read over there. Good Luck Tommy!
The roster is set - Bob Ford has a say.

Defensive masterminds have turned up heat on NFL offenses
This article is worth the read. Interesting stuff about the 3 defensive paradigms in the NFL today. JJ's "as-yet-unnamed all-out blitzkriegs backed by aggressive man-to-man coverages", Dick LeBeau's Fire Zone blitzes, and Monte Kiffin's "Tampa 2".
Preseason Game #3. Offense, Defense and Special Teams
25Before I get into the meat of the Patriots game, I'd like to briefly offer a word or two about the Panthers game. The weather made for an ugly contest which I firmly believe would have been...
A note to displaced fans
Most of you know that I don't call the Philly metro area home which makes actually catching a game challenging sometimes. The Patriots game won't be broadcast here live, but NFL Network is being...

More thoughts on the Defense
5GCobb has a couple of notes up today about the Bird's defense. In one, he reminds us that the Eagles were last in the league in turnovers last year. In the other, he takes a look at the...

Where Are They Now: RB Brian Mitchell - Philadelphia Eagles
1This write up is good, but the video is worth 1000 words. Hopefully the kick return game gets some of this action this year. Of particular note is a Brian Mitchell to Brian Dawkins fake punt/shovel pass/TD that appears toward the end of the video.
