by Jimmy Kempski

We're beginning to enter the dog days of Philadelphia Eagles training, and Doug Pederson continues to work his players hard (by modern CBA standards, anyway).

Eagles may have long-term stability at cornerback, at a high cost

by Jimmy Kempski

by Jimmy Kempski

On paper, there's reason to believe the Eagles could be a good team offensively around the goal line. They acquired a power back in LeGarrette Blount, they now have a big target at wide receiver in Alshon Jeffery, and Zach Ertz returns as one of the better receiving tight ends in the NFL.

Eagles vs. Packers: Week 1 preseason open thread

by Jimmy Kempski

Can Carson Wentz's hot camp carry over into the preseason? Will Nelson Agholor make plays, or drop the football? What can we expect from Derek Barnett? Will any corners step up, and was the Eagles' strong play from their wide receivers merely a product of sub-par coverage in camp?
