Chip Kelly notes an undrafted free agent offensive lineman 'to keep an eye on'

by Jimmy Kempski

One thing the interior of the Eagles offensive line has lacked is a guy who can move defensive linemen off the ball against their own will. In his press conference Saturday morning, Chip Kelly pointed to undrafted free agent Malcolm Bunche as someone who can move people.

Eagles practice notes, August 9, 2015: Josh Huff very active

by Jimmy Kempski

Josh Huff had a very active day. He had a great over the head catch on a deep ball. Those catches look easier than they are. He also brought in an off-target pass over the middle, and had an impressive TD catch in the back of the end zone. Huff looks like a much better player than he did a year ago. There were times during training camp a year ago when he looked like a running back trying to play receiver. But his hands and his route running have come a long way.

Eagles rookie CB Denzel Rice emerges as the early 'Na Brown Award' leader

by Jimmy Kempski

If you aren't familiar with the yearly "Na Brown Award," it is the title awarded to the Eagles player who comes out of almost nowhere to cause a big stir at camp and raises his expectations unreasonably high in the process. Back in the early Donovan days, Na Brown was a camp stud who got a lot of hype but ultimately failed to live up to his heightened expectations. Previous winners include guys like Hank Baskett, Riley Cooper, Lorenzo Booker, and Henry Josey.

Brandon Graham's goal is to obliterate the single-season sack record

by Jimmy Kempski

Watch out, Michael Strahan. Brandon Graham is gunning for your sack record. "My goal is two (sacks) per game," said Graham. "16 (games). What's that, 32? Let me tell you -- This is how I'm thinking about it. Out of 70 plays, why not? Why not two? I don't care how they come, as long as they come."
