Leonard Weaver caused a bit of a stir on Twitter over the past two days by suggesting not everyone on the Eagles roster is on the same page with new head coach Chip Kelly. We won’t go so far as to say it’s a baseless claim, as the former Birds fullback of two seasons would…

Jun 7, 2013, 10:00 AM EDT
It’s June, the season of non-controversies in the NFL.

So far, Chip Kelly’s basically taken a jackhammer to the NFL’s standing conventional wisdom. Practice structure, player positions and even nutrition have all been up for referendum, and the first-year Eagles coach apparently isn’t stopping there. “Demotions” are in play, too.

Jun 3, 2013, 2:40 PM EDT
The knee-jerk reaction to DeSean Jackson’s recent flirtation with Jay-Z is that Jackson (a) must not be properly focused on football, seeing as signing on with a sports agent of 30 seconds and rap star of, like, forever has to be all about bolstering his career as a rapper and executive, right? and (b) is…

May 30, 2013, 12:30 PM EDT
There were no 26-year-old fireman taken by the Eagles in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft but that doesn’t mean they don’t have any crazy stories about a player who is pretty old for a rookie and has barely ever played organized football in his life. Reuben Frank has the story today of…

Eagles OL Coach Jeff Stoutland Talks Early Impressions of Lane Johnson, Jason Peters’ Comeback
May 28, 2013, 3:00 PM EDT
For being the fourth-overall pick in the draft, Lane Johnson sure seems to be flying under the radar these days. He’s probably not even the ninth or tenth biggest story at Eagles OTAs, situated somewhere between Evan Mathis urinating on an IRS sign and the punting competition between Donnie Jones and Brad Wing. Danny Watkins…

The Philadelphia Eagles and the Mystery of the Unofficial Depth Chart
May 22, 2013, 3:29 PM EDT
Chip Kelly maintains his quarterback competition is truly open, that there’s no one or two on the depth chart, but a photo of a document that was floating around the Internet on Wednesday says different.

Much of the media focus during spring OTAs has been geared toward trying to pick out which passer has the advantage in Chip Kelly’s quarterback derby, although if Monday’s practice was any indication it’s really a two-horse race. With the anticipated battle between Michael Vick and Nick Foles taking shape, perhaps no competition at the…

It’s never too early for rampant speculation and prognosticating, am I right? Well betting lines for the 2013 NFL season win totals were just updated by the folks over at Bovada.lv and, not surprisingly, the Philadelphia Eagles and Chip Kelly’s squad are pegged to win the least games in all of the NFC East.
