Handing out 10 awards from the Eagles-Patriots preseason game

by Jimmy Kempski

In the Philadelphia Eagles' second preseason game against the New England Patriots, the Birds looked, uh, less than awesome. They also had a significant injury scare that should make Doug Pederson and the gang re-think how much the starter play the rest of the way throughout the preseason.

Five players who impressed at Eagles training camp, five who didn't

by Jimmy Kempski

The Philadelphia Eagles will conclude training camp Tuesday morning, or at least the portion of training camp that the media is allowed to watch. They still have one more practice to go, but since it'll be a lame "10-10-10 practice," and thus not likely to be opinion-changing in any way, let's take a look at five players who impressed this camp, and five who did not.

Eagles training camp practice observations, Day 15

by Jimmy Kempski

Philadelphia Eagles training camp is over! Well, sort of. They'll still practice most days up until 53-man cutdowns, but the media just won't be allowed to watch the practices anymore. So the idea that "training camp is over" is a little silly to say, but whatever. I digress.

You can go ahead and get excited about Eagles rookie TE Dallas Goedert

by Jimmy Kempski

In the Philadelphia Eagles' first preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, rookie tight end Dallas Goedert made his rookie debut, and he didn't disappoint. On the night, Goedert had 4 catches for 64 yards and a TD, all in the first half, before earning a seat with the cool kids in the second half.

Carson Wentz has better velocity now than he did in previous seasons

by Jimmy Kempski

Arm strength has always been one of Carson Wentz's strengths, and it was perhaps logical to expect that the velocity on his throws would dip a bit, simply because he is still rehabbing his torn ACL and LCL, suffered in December of last year. That has not been the case. In fact, according to data the Eagles use that tracks such things, Wentz is throwing with more velocity than he was in 2016 or 2017.

Eagles sign QB Christian Hackenberg

by Jimmy Kempski

Just when you thought the Eagles' roster couldn't get any better, they went and signed quarterback Christian Hackenberg. Howie Roseman strikes gold again!
