Eagles Nation is abuzz over the newest running back in town, LeSean “Shady” McCoy. There hasn’t been this much excitement over a back since Ricky Watters’ arrival back in 1995. I say Watters, because Brian Westbrook was a largely unknown prospect from Villanova when he was drafted back in 2002. He didn’t showcase all his [...]

If you believe the draftniks and pundits, the Cowboys had a questionable 2009 draft. Like every other team, we’ll find out in a couple years if those assessments are accurate.
The one selection that seems to have caused the most fervor among draft experts was USC kicker David Buehler. He was the beast who racked 25 [...]

While basking in the glory of a perceived “A” 2009 NFL draft, I keep reading and hearing naysayers comparing first-round pick Jeremy Maclin to last year’s second-round pick DeSean Jackson. Actually, it’s not so much comparing as it is declaring they are the same player. There is no difference between the two. All they do [...]

Donovan McNabb released his first post-draft blog entry on Yardbarker. You can read the whole thing over there, but here are a few tidbits:

Over the last couple days, a number of Ellis Hobbs‘ quotes have surfaced across the blogosphere regarding his trade from the Pats to the Birds. I think Hobbs is a good, not great, cornerback who is very much opposite of Sheldon in his style of play. Hobbs is a gambler, while Brown is more of [...]

A few months ago, when Donovan McNabb allegedly complained about getting “more weapons” on offense, it was taken as a sign that he was fed up with the sub-par talent the Front Office has surrounded him with for the last decade. Whether he actually declared these thoughts makes little difference. It’s safe to assume, Donny [...]

With the draft barely cold, the Eagles scooped up another group of players today. Undrafted free agents have a history of making a name for themselves in Philly. Quintin Mikell and Jamaal Jackson being just two of the most recent successes signed by the Birds.
Here’s the list:
S Reshard Langford (Vanderbilt) – Big dude. 6′1″, 215.
WR [...]

The consensus seems to be the Eagles had themselves an excellent draft weekend. Since everyone is spreading the love across the Interwebs, I decided to be unoriginal and do the same.
The fellas at Pro Football Weekly gushed over the selection of Jeremy Maclin.
Fox Sports tossed the Birds’ brain trust an A grade.
Rick Gosselin, from the [...]
