An update on Eagles DE Alex McCalister

by Jimmy Kempski

With a 6'6 frame, 36" arms, and very good athleticism, McCalister was able to get to the quarterback in college with his raw traits. In the pros, it was crystal clear that McCalister would need to add weight, and a more expansive repertoire of pass rush moves.

Eagles sign former Rams and Patriots DE Chris Long to two-year deal

by Jimmy Kempski

After the Eagles released Connor Barwin in a money-saving move, they were left with a gaping hole at defensive end. Long will turn 32 on Tuesday, and should provide defensive line depth. He is more of a traditional 4-3 defensive end than Barwin, although like Barwin, Long's career is in its waning stages.

Can we apply Andy Reid's stance on players with domestic violence history to the Eagles?

by Jimmy Kempski

No, Andy Reid isn't the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles anymore, and he doesn't make decisions for them presently. However, if you haven't noticed, the Eagles have made efforts in many ways to get back to the way things were run when he was the guy in charge. And so, when Reid speaks in terms of philosophy, it's perhaps worthwhile listening to what he has to say.

Joe Mixon a perfect fit for Eagles' offense, but would they consider drafting him?

by Jimmy Kempski

PHOENIX – In a similar way that former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was the face of dogfighting as much as he was known for being a special athlete when owner Jeffrey Lurie gave his approval to sign him eight years ago, Oklahoma Sooners running back Joe Mixon's talents are overshadowed for a domestic violence incident.
