by Jimmy Kempski

Starting Vaitai makes (some) logical long-term sense for Eagles

by Jimmy Kempski

There's an argument to be made that moving Allen Barbre to right tackle and filling Steven Wisniewski in at left guard would be putting the five best offensive linemen on the team on the field. But the Eagles chose to go another direction when they inserted rookie fifth round pick Halapoulivaati Vaitai directly in at right tackle.

Will the Eagles try to add a player at the NFL trade deadline?

by Jimmy Kempski

Over the last few days, fans who are concerned about the Eagles' depth at corner, or the right tackle spot, or the ineffectiveness of the wide receiver corps, or whatever, have asked me quite a bit if the Eagles could swing a deal for more help at the trade deadline on November 1.

by Jimmy Kempski

Remember the days when the Eagles introduced all 11 starters from either their offense or defense, and Brian Dawkins would crawl out of the tunnel like Wolverine, the character from Marvel Comics? That's coming back.

Carson Wentz already taking blame for teammates' mistakes

by Jimmy Kempski

Facing third and 10 from just outside the Redskins' 10 yard line with about five and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter on Sunday, rookie quarterback Carson Wentz faced a blitz in which the Redskins sent seven rushers, and his recognition was put to the test. As he has done against the blitz all season long, Wentz knew where his hot read was, and he quickly flicked a pass to tight end Zach Ertz, who likely would have walked in for a score. Except... Mmmmmm drrrop.
