Expect the Eagles to add more 'fastballs'

by Jimmy Kempski

Back in the Jim Johnson days in Philadelphia, the Eagles would load up on pass rushers, even if they had a stable of good ones already in place. Andy Reid wanted to throw as many "fastballs" as he could at opposing offensive lines.

DeMarco Murray, Eagles may be headed for 'stare-down,' but he's likely not going anywhere

by Jimmy Kempski

According to a source, the Eagles would cut Murray if they could. However, they'd be crazy to pay an extra $5 million just to get him off the roster.

Should the Eagles have interest in Johnny Manziel, Colin Kaepernick, or Robert Griffin III?

by Jimmy Kempski

I'll give the "too long, didn't read" version right off the bat. Robert Griffin III? No. Colin Kaepernick? No. Johnny Manziel? God no. However, since Kaepernick and Manziel were both in the news yesterday, this feels like the appropriate time to address this topic, and then move on with our lives.

Your team's first round picks since 2010, if Mel Kiper's initial mock drafts were 100% correct

by Jimmy Kempski

A few weeks ago, the original "draftnik," ESPN's Mel Kiper, published his first mock draft of the offseason. I can say with a high level of certainty that it will be very, very wrong. Mock drafts are what they are -- a good way to learn a little something about the top prospects who will be selected in or around the first round of the draft. If you're looking for accuracy, forget it.

The Eagles may not be a good team for a while, as we've been trying to warn you since about midway through the 2015 season. It would appear that oddsmakers agree. According to footballlocks.com, the Eagles are tied for the third-worst odds in the NFL to win Super Bowl 51.
