Eagles' OL cohesion at risk if they lose both starting OGs in one offseason

by Jimmy Kempski

In 2014, the Eagles' offensive line suffered through a severe lack of continuity, as the projected starting combination of Jason Peters, Evan Mathis, Jason Kelce, Todd Herremans and Lane Johnson never played a single snap together as a full unit. Here's a chart of what offensive linemen started each game last season:

What we believe / don't believe about Chip Kelly and his running backs

by Jimmy Kempski

Over a 10 day span beginning in the days before free agency through until the Eagles completed the signings of DeMarco Murray and Ryan Mathews, the Eagles went through a lot of drama at the running back position. First, they traded LeSean McCoy to the Bills for ILB Kiko Alonso, opening up a huge hole at the RB position.

'Marcus Mariota to the Eagles' is not media-driven boredom that Chip Kelly is suggesting it is

by Jimmy Kempski

In 2011, the San Francisco 49ers went 13-3 during the regular season, earned a two seed and thus a first-round bye, and eventually lost in the NFC Championship game in heartbreaking fashion in overtime to the Giants. That was Jim Harbaugh's first season as an NFL head coach, after leaving Stanford University.

NFC Hierarchy-Obituary (power rankings): Pre-draft edition

by Jimmy Kempski

In case you're unfamiliar with my hierarchy/obituary, it's sort of my hackneyed spin on power rankings. During the season, once a team is no longer realistic playoff contenders, we write their obituary and never speak of them again. The remaining teams are arranged hierarchy-style. We skip the AFC, because, well, I'm not going to pretend I know the AFC like I know the NFC. Let's get to the hierarchy of the NFC as they look today.

Updating the Eagles' pre-draft visits

by Jimmy Kempski

As we noted early last week, if the Eagles bring in a prospect for a pre-draft visit, their chances of being drafted by Chip Kelly go up drastically. Six of the seven Eagles draft picks a year ago were among the Eagles' 30 allotted pre-draft visit to the NovaCare Complex.

Mock draft roundup: Who are experts projecting for Eagles at pick No. 20?

by Jimmy Kempski

As we noted in our last Eagles only mock draft, all of the below is a lot of wasted text if the Eagles find a way to trade up and draft Marcus Mariota. However, if the Eagles stand pat at pick #20, the following mock drafts give an idea of what players might be available when they are on the clock on draft night.
