DeSean Jackson's reality show debuts, calls himself an 'Eagles killer'

The summer trash talk continues! A few days after the Giants punter Steve Weatherford ripped Chip Kelly, Tim Tebow, Mark Sanchez and Sam Bradford, another division rival is ripping the Eagles. That would be old friend DeSean Jackson.

Handing out 10 awards from the Eagles' offseason, in stick figure form

The 2015 Eagles offseason was about as busy as an offseason can be, with Chip Kelly massively turning the roster over and taking the team in a new direction. And so, during this slow time, let's hand out 10 awards from the Eagles' offseason. Or perhaps more accurately, I just feel like posting my favorite drawings of the offseason.

What they're saying: Walter Thurmond says that Tom Coughlin 'doesn't believe in modern medicine'

Walter Thurmond has played for three very good coaches. He played for Chip Kelly at Oregon, followed by Pete Carroll in Seattle, Tom Coughlin in New York, and now Kelly again in Philly. Bleacher Report's Brett Sobleski asked Thurmond to compare the three coaches, and while Thurmond was complimentary of all three, he had some interesting things to say about Coughlin's approach to sports science.

There's an argument to be made that the Eagles' defense was better than their offense in 2014

We have weekly Eagles chats here, and it feels like someone asks me if defensive coordinator Bill Davis is on the hot seat during every chat. The reason why is because many of the Eagles' defensive numbers are gross. Conversely, Chip Kelly looks like an offensive mastermind because the offense often puts up eye-popping numbers.

Jason Kelce, for the love of God, don't piss off Steve Weatherford

Welp, the Eagles and Giants are talking trash again, like they do every year. This time, the Eagles should take heed and be careful what they say when they reply. Why, you may ask? Because this isn't any ordinary player. The Giants player who has initiated the trash talk this year is man-beast punter Steve Weatherford.

What they're saying: Giants punter Steve Weatherford runs his mouth about the Eagles

The Giants love to run their mouths about the Eagles. The latest culprit, during June, was Giants punter Steve Weatherford, who managed to take shots at Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez, and Chip Kelly in a short radio appearance.

Clemson OT Isaiah Battle to enter NFL supplemental draft; Could he interest the Eagles?

As we noted when we took inventory of the Eagles' age along their offensive line a few weeks ago, The Eagles have drafted just one offensive lineman over the last three years, which is the lowest total in the NFL. They failed to add to their OL despite having what was previously the oldest projected starting OL in the NFL. The NFL average during that three year span is 4.125 drafted offensive linemen per team. Over the last two years, the Eagles are the only team in the NFL not to have drafted an offensive lineman.

Marcus Mariota remains the only unsigned No. 1-pick; OMG can Chip still get him?!?

255 of 256 players selected in the 2015 NFL Draft have signed their rookie contract. The lone rookie not to have signed? A certain Hawaiian fellow who played for Chip Kelly at Oregon. You may have heard of him.
