McNabb Hurt Again:After throwing two early interceptions, Donovan McNabb got knocked out of the game by a take down from a blitzing Dolphins corner. McNabb sprained his right ankle, almost exactly one year away from when he tore his ACL in the same leg. X-rays were negative, but Donovan sat out the rest of the game. Right now his status for next week is uncertain.Feeley Gets Revenge: A.J. Feeley stepped in for the injured McNabb, and threw the third Eagles interception of the game. After that mistake...[Read More]

Remember this play? What an awesome game that was.

Storylines already promising to punctuate the Eagles' offseason are Donovan McNabb's fate in Philadelphia, Andy Reid's ongoing crisis at home and the impending free agency of tight end L.J. Smith.Brian Westbrook's contract situation could be another side story -- or perhaps even more attention-catching than the other three.In his weekly press conference, Westbrook hinted Wednesday that his contract might need some reworking, lest the Eagles want another ugly holdout situation come training camp.Westbrook...[Read More]

Eagles Team signs Fontenot to practice squadTue, 13 Nov 2007 13:05:28 -0800The Philadelphia Eagles announced they have signed free-agent CB Therrian Fontenot (Browns) to the practice squad Tuesday, Nov. 13. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.>>KFFLNothing major. Just a practice squad move. SS Erick Harris was waived to make room for Fontenot.Here is a little something about him.

He spent the first three years of his career as a backup to Jevon Kearse in Tennessee. For most of the past two-and-a-half seasons, he's been Kearse's backup in Philadelphia.Now, Juqua Thomas replaces Kearse as the starter at left defensive end. Defensive coordinator Jim Johnson made the announcement at his press conference Thursday."Trent (Cole) is playing at a high caliber, no question about it. J.T. is playing very well. Those two right now they're two of our better ends in the pass rush. It's...[Read More]

The Eagles needed Sunday's win over Washington desperately, and when a team is desperate, crazy things happen.Crazy things like a six-time Pro Bowl safety covering kickoffs.After Brian Westbrook's incredible 57-yard touchdown potentially saved Philadelphia's season, Brian Dawkins didn't want to see the kickoff coverage unit cough up the lead. That's why when they took the field to kick the ball back to the Redskins, Dawkins was with them - for, according to his memory - the first time in seven or...[Read More]

Looks like L.J. Smith is still unhappy about not having a new contract. He has not held out, but he has voiced his displeasure several times with his contract situation. Today he gave his latest thoughts about it:If you think tight end L.J. Smith will re-sign with the Eagles after the season, you might want to think again.“Am I optimistic about being here again? No. I’m not optimistic about it,” said Smith, who is eligible to be a free agent after the season. “Right now I’m looking at possibly...[Read More]

Coach Cam Cameron has decided to make a quarterback change for Sunday's visit to Philadelphia and give rookie John Beck his first career start in place of Cleo Lemon, said a source close to the team.Cameron notified the quarterbacks of his decision this morning. The determination to start Beck seemed to signify a change of heart since he met with his quarterbacks on Tuesday.A source said Lemon left the meeting thinking he would be making his fifth consecutive start, while Cameron made it clear that...[Read More]

The only question is ... What took so long? Defensive backs coach John Harbaugh walked over to Joselio Hanson at halftime Sunday and told him he was going into the game at nickel cornerback, replacing the struggling William James.Hanson responded with a solid second half, as the Eagles rallied from nine points down to beat the Redskins, 33-25. James got beat twice for 31-yard catches by James Thrash, the former Eagle who had just 74 receiving yards in his 16 previous games over two seasons."He just...[Read More]

Goal Line Stand Saved Season:The Eagles defense had been on it's heels most of the game. The defensive line had gotten almost no pressure to this point, the secondary was brutal, and the linebackers were missing tackles.The Redskins had a first and goal at the 2 yard line, after Donovan McNabb fumbled the ball a few play before. A Redskins score would put them up 9, and would have likely sealed the game.The defense had enough. On six plays inside the five(a penalty in the middle) the Eagles defense...[Read More]

It was three plays to save a season. Yes, even if the Eagles had lost in Washington this weekend they would have had a chance to make the playoffs, but realistically, every member of the defense knew what was at stake.With its back against its own end zone – and the wall – and the Redskins only seven yards away from all but putting the game out of reach, the Eagles defense had to make a stand. Three plays to save a season.Eventually, three plays turned to six. Six snaps from inside the 10-yard...[Read More]

Get Rid Of Reid?:The Eagles are off to a dreadful start this season. I doubt anybody expected a 3-5 record to this point of the season. While everybody is searching for answers, let me remind them of this.Andy Reid is a great coach. Take a look at his body of work in Philadelphia.In 2006, Reid overcame a 5-6 start and the loss of two of their most explosive players in quarterback Donovan McNabb and defensive end Jevon Kearse in leading the team to season-ending, five-game win streak to capture the...[Read More]

"CHOO CHOO"Not sure what this is all about, but he sure does look gay.>>DeadSkins.com

After weeks of underwhelming kickoff returns, the Eagles may finally be ready to let J.R. Reed out of the doghouse.The fourth-year safety and kickoff return specialist was signed to his second Philadelphia stint just before the season began, only to be released a week later, after his fourth-quarter muffed punt cost the Eagles their season opener against Green Bay.The team brought him back shortly thereafter, but he has not yet returned another kickoff, the role for which the Eagles originally drafted...[Read More]

The Saints signed linebacker Matt McCoy on Sunday and threw him onto kick coverage teams against the Jaguars, where he made a good late tackle to draw welcoming applause.McCoy, a starter for the Eagles since he was drafted in the second round of the 2005 draft out of San Diego State, lost his starting job and was cut by Philadelphia last Monday..McCoy drew a $7500 fine for a late hit on Vikings punter Chris Kluwe. McCoy missed time last year with a neck stinger and in 2006 due to hip and shoulder...[Read More]

What seems to be a reoccurring theme, Donovan McNabb once again had to explain his comments from a recent press conference. This time he decided to do so on his Yardbarker blog: I was surprised to hear that people were saying that I am not taking blame for us being 3-5. I did say in my press conference earlier today (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/Story.asp?story_id=14381) that "I'm definitely not the whole reason why we lost these games" and "I'm not fully [to] blame for everything that...[Read More]
