Philadelphia Eagles veteran Trent Cole has been through eight NFL training camps before his first led by Chip Kelly this summer. Cole has felt the grueling and relentless heat of eight summers in the hills of Bethlehem on Lehigh University’s campus under former head coach Andy Reid before Kelly concocted his unique blend of physicality [...]
There have been a lot of firsts for Chip Kelly since taking the Philadelphia Eagles head coaching job on January 16. His first NFL practice, first training camp, preseason game, and preseason win have all occurred in the past six months. However, as cut down day looms large on Saturday afternoon, Kelly is entering the [...]
Clay Harbor is caught up in a numbers game in more ways than one. The three-year veteran tight end can look around his position meeting group and see that the likes of Brent Celek, rookie Zach Ertz and James Casey are locks to make the final roster. Meanwhile, at wide receiver where he has taken [...]
New names, same problem for the Philadelphia Eagles. Gone are the likes of Nnamdi Asomugha, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and in their place are Cary Williams and Bradley Fletcher. Yet somehow, the Eagles secondary still can’t seem to right the ship while playing under their third defensive coordinator in 12 months. Put it simply, Chad Henne‘s 17-yard touchdown pass to Justin Blackmon in the first quarter of [...]
Chip Kelly made official what was already known by virtually everyone in the NFL universe on Monday morning: the Philadelphia Eagles starters, including quarterback Michael Vick, will not play in Thursday night’s preseason finale against the New York Jets. Nick Foles gets his second start of the preseason, but it will be rookie Matt Barkley [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles trimmed their roster Sunday releasing 12 players getting down to 76 currently on the active roster and must make one final cut before Tuesday’s 4pm deadline to be under the mandated 75. Danny Watkins could very well be that player. Watkins, a former 2011 first round draft choice, has failed to live [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles trimmed their roster yesterday, and Jamar Chaney was one of the first established veteran players to be summoned to Chip Kelly‘s office along with his playbook. The fourth-year linebacker out of Mississippi State rotated between starting games over the course of his career at middle linebacker and outside linebacker as well as [...]
Michael Vick‘s message Thursday afternoon was clear: Get your tickets ready for another go-round on the “Michael Vick Experience.” It’s no secret that Vick’s durability has been called into question after the 12-year veteran has only completed a full 16-game season once in his career and has sat out 13 games in the last three [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles announced Friday that they have traded running back Felix Jones to the Pittsburgh Steelers for outside linebacker Adrian Robinson. Robinson, signed by the Steelers as an undrafted free agent out of Temple in 2012, played 12 games as a rookie but failed to register a tackle. He will provide depth and competition [...]
The third preseason game is typically the longest audition for the regular season where the starters see the most playing time. The Philadelphia Eagles may be without two veterans when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday night. Todd Herremans and Kenny Phillips‘ statuses are unclear for the game. Phillips returned to practice earlier this [...]
