Eagles talk: NFL Network analyst says biggest threat is themselves

The only threat to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East is themselves says one NFL Network analyst.

You can feel it, cant you? It smells like Summertime is in full swing, and with that, the ‘dead spell’ in the NFL is almost over. The end of July marks the start of training camps around the league. The Philadelphia Eagles start theirs on July 25th.

Winning is contagious. The Eagles have caught the bug. Now, it’s time for the 2018 NFL campaign to begin. This ought to be fun. First thing’s first though. We have to get through training camp, and we have to build a roster.
