Eagles training camp notes, Day 11: Eagles dropping like flies

by Jimmy Kempski

The Eagles went "live" once again today (meaning they tackled) for the second time in three days, and they sustained a number of injuries, although they were mostly of the "scare variety," as PhillyVoice's Matt Mullin reported. The injuries aside, here's what we saw today:

Jim Schwartz doesn't care what Eric Rowe did last year

by Jimmy Kempski

When the Philadelphia Eagles selected Eric Rowe with the 47th overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, they took a player with the height/weight/speed parameters that Chip Kelly wanted for his defense. Under Kelly, the Eagles preferred longer, versatile corners with a physical mindset, and Rowe fit the bill. They liked him enough, in fact, that they traded up to get him.

Eagles training camp notes, Day 10: Sam Bradford and Carson Wentz both sharp

by Jimmy Kempski

One of the best throws that Carson Wentz makes is the fade throw in the end zone. It's something he did well at North Dakota State, and it's something he has done well so far throughout OTAs, minicamp, and training camp. Here's an example of a clutch Wentz fade throw that actually won a game over Northern Iowa.

Eagles training camp notes, Day 9: Vinny Curry is a menace

by Jimmy Kempski

For the first time in Philadelphia Eagles training camp since 2012, the Eagles tackled during 11-on-11 sessions, and there was a ton of action. I tried to focus my attention on the offensive and defensive lines, since they're not as easily evaluated in shorts. There are a lot of notes, so let's just get right to them.

Can Nelson Agholor make the second-year jump at wide receiver?

by Jimmy Kempski

Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor had a very forgettable rookie season after being selected 20th in the 2015 NFL Draft. This time last year, there were some (self included) who thought Agholor could contend for Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Oops. Agholor played in 13 games (starting 12), and produced just 23 catches for 283 yards and 1 TD.
