Envisioning an Eagles OL without Evan Mathis

by Jimmy Kempski

Can the Eagles trade or cut Evan Mathis? It seems crazy, but so did cutting a wide receiver coming off a season in which he caught 82 passes for 1332 yards and 9 touchdowns.

A look at the Eagles from a fantasy football perspective

by Jimmy Kempski

The Eagles may or may not be a playoff caliber team this year, depending on the quarterback, the health of the offensive line, significant questions in the defensive secondary, and a whole host of other lesser concerns. However, one area where they'll likely pay off this season no what what happens is in the world of fantasy football.

by Jimmy Kempski

Today, Kelly spoke for the first time since McCoy strongly suggested that he is racist. It was classic "Philosophical Chip."

Eagles OTA practice notes, May 28, 2015: The first glimpses of the new guys

by Jimmy Kempski

Today kicked off the first live Eagles practice of the offseason in front of the media. Unfortunately, team drills were waaaaay down on the other end of the practice fields, so it was very difficult to really say how anyone played today. Still, there were plenty of observations to be made.

Eagles are prime candidates for HBO's 'Hard Knocks' in 2016 if they don't make the playoffs this year

by Jimmy Kempski

Chip Kelly wants HBO invading his training camp like he wants a root canal. However, if the Eagles don't make the playoffs in 2015 and Chip Kelly remains the head coach of the team (a very possible scenario), the NFL could force the Eagles to be the subject of the show.

Report: Evan Mathis a no-show for Eagles OTAs; DeSean Jackson also a no-show for 'Skins

by Jimmy Kempski

Voluntary Eagles OTAs began today, and as expected, Evan Mathis was a no-show. The Eagles previously shopped Mathis, but Chip Kelly stated bluntly during the draft that they have not received any trade offers for him.

The Eagles' wide receivers and 'height-weight-speed'

by Jimmy Kempski

During the pre-draft process, Eagles quasi-GM Ed Marynowitz very succinctly laid out what the Eagles value in draft prospects, from a macro, big picture level, which fell into three buckets. The one area where the Eagles are perhaps willing to make concessions on height is at the wide receiver position.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to you all. Enjoy your burgers and dogs. I'll be away from my computer the rest of the weekend, but I before I go, here are some things some other people wrote.

Five positions to begin to watch at Eagles OTAs

by Jimmy Kempski

Next week the Eagles will kick off the OTA portion of their offseason, beginning on May 26th. Media will be able to watch a practice for the first time since last year on May 28th. Obviously, everything that Sam Bradford does (or doesn't do) will be beaten to death by us media folk from the onset of OTAs all the way through until Week 1 of the regular season, but here are some other positions to keep a close eye on when the Eagles take the field.
