by Jimmy Kempski

Start thinking up Kiko-DeMeco-Kendricks nicknames, because the trio of Kiko Alonso, DeMeco Ryans and Mychal Kendricks could all be on the field at the same time in Eagles defensive sub packages this season.

by Jimmy Kempski

The media's first looks at the Eagles are in the books, and there are a few new revelations about the Eagles. Walter Thurmond is moving to safety, Sam Bradford looks like a statue at the moment, and Tim Tebow's throwing motion is still comparable to Neptune's orbit around the sun.

by Jimmy Kempski

It's June. Free agency is over. The draft is over. News is slow. Slow news breeds boredom and over-imaginative ideas. And so, here are four June things that have been bandied about recently that are simply false.

Eagles OTA practice notes, June 2, 2015: Statue Bradford

by Jimmy Kempski

In what was undoubtedly the biggest travesty in the history of the Universe, the Eagles canceled practice yesterday because of rain that never came, inconveniencing me and several of my media ilk. Today, it actually did rain, and the Eagles practiced. My notes from the day:

According to Adam Caplan of ESPN, the Eagles had interest in former Redskins OG Chris Chester.
