Malcolm Jenkins working toward capitalizing more on big-play opportunities

by Jimmy Kempski

In our notes following the Eagles' OTA practice on Tuesday, we noted that Malcolm Jenkins dropped what should have been an easy interception. That of course is something that Jenkins has done quite a bit of in his tenure with the Eagles.

Are the Eagles afraid of the Cowboys?

by Jimmy Kempski

Apparently, Eagles writers are the only ones who overreact to the Birds' OTAs in May.

Jeffrey Lurie talks Eagles quarterbacks

by Jimmy Kempski

For the first time since the Eagles traded up to draft Carson Wentz, Jeffrey Lurie spoke publicly, to Jenny Vrentas of the MMQB, when he spoke about the Eagles' quarterback situation.

The Eagles' quarterbacks all love each other: Maybe the Birds deserve some credit

by Jimmy Kempski

When Sam Bradford essentially went on strike after the Eagles traded up to the No. 2 overall pick, the Eagles' optimal plan for the 2016 season felt unrealistic. Credit the Eagles for handling that situation with the calm demeanor that they did.

Eagles' OTA practice notes: Sam Bradford less than awesome

by Jimmy Kempski

The third and final media-attended Eagles OTA session of the 2016 offseason is in the books, and Sam Bradford had himself an ugly day. As a reminder, it's still May. There will be times undrafted free agent rookies light it up, and future Hall of Famers have off days. Who plays well in practices in May doesn't mean a ton, however, with that disclaimer out of the way, here's what I saw.

Eagles 53-man roster projection

by Jimmy Kempski

Is it way too early for a 53-man roster projection? Yes. Yes it is. However, in an effort to enjoy my Memorial Day weekend, I needed a topic I could post about whenever (that's called evergreen journalism, for those of you in school), so I wrote this last Thursday. And you know what? You'll read it and like it!

A focus of Eagles defense will be stopping tight ends

by Jimmy Kempski

While the Eagles have made the switch from a 3-4 defense under Kelly and Billy Davis to a 4-3 under new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, it appears the Eagles will still put a high priority on safeties who can cover. The difference, however, is that Kelly and Davis used to talk about safeties who could cover slot receivers. Schwartz seems to be more geared toward safeties who can stop tight ends.
