How the NFL’s new rules could affect the Eagles

SetNumber: X8132 TK1 R2 F23 Gone are the old kickoffs we used to know. At their winter meetings this week, the NFL has announced a series of new rules that will change certain aspects of the game starting this season. And yes, those changes will affect your Philadelphia Eagles. Kickoff Change The change that casual fans will notice immediately is a new kickoff, designed to eliminate the overabundance of touchbacks while at the same time mitigating injury concerns. It is among the most significant changes to the basic play of the game the league has ever seen. The new...

Eagles need more from their draft picks to sustain a Super Bowl roster

Eagles need more from their draft picks to sustain a Super Bowl roster

Photo by Mitchell Leff/ Nakobe Dean and others need to be real factors in 2024 and beyond. The Eagles’ blitz of signings at the start of NFL free agency last week was exciting and breathtaking. Whether you agree or disagree with Howie Roseman’s moves, it’s clear he’s intent on using up every bit of the cap space they have to bring in both impact and role players on both sides of the ball. Bryce Huff is getting paid big-time edge rusher money, despite having never started an NFL game before. In Saquon Barkley, they’re eschewing their committee-approach to the...

No need to worry about the punchless Phillies spring offense... yet

No need to worry about the punchless Phillies spring offense... yet

Photo by Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire via It ain’t just Johan Rojas who is struggling down in Clearwater. There’s no sugarcoating this. So far this spring, the Phillies offense has been ugly. Generally speaking, pitchers are ahead of the hitters in the early going, and with a couple weeks left in camp, the bats usually catch up. But for the most part, Phils hitters haven’t quite found their groove yet. Here are their spring ranks in some key offensive categories: Home Runs (T-21, 22) AVG (27, .235) OBP (27, .308) SLG (23, 379) OPS (24, .867) Strikeouts (1,...

2024 Season Preview: Starting Rotation Best Case Scenario

2024 Season Preview: Starting Rotation Best Case Scenario

Photo by Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire via The Phillies rotation could be an absolute unit in 2024. Even if the Phillies starting rotation doesn’t hit their absolute “best case scenario” in 2024, they should still be one of the best in Major League Baseball. That’s a really nice way to enter the season, knowing you have three starters you can count on — Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola and Ranger Suarez — all of whom are battle tested and with playoff experience. They have a young, seemingly up-and-comer in Cristopher Sanchez, and a veteran right-hander who is...

The Eagles’ Saquon Barkley signing is either a panic move or a stroke of genius

The Eagles’ Saquon Barkley signing is either a panic move or a stroke of genius

Photo by Jim McIsaac/ Howie Roseman’s shocking decision to sign the former Giants RB will likely go one of two ways. Sometimes player agents use your sports team to create a market for their client. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is renowned for his aggressiveness, especially when coming off a disappointing season. We knew he was going to try and make a splash this off-season, so when the rumors started flying about Philadelphia’s interest in signing the No. 1 running back on the market, Saquon Barkley, most responded the same way I did. No way. Most of us...

Jason Kelce is the most beloved Eagle of all time

Jason Kelce is the most beloved Eagle of all time

Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/ The future Hall of Famer has cemented his status as a city and franchise icon. Grown men and women throughout the Delaware Valley sat in front of their TVs, computers, tablets and phones on Monday fighting back tears as they watched beloved center Jason Kelce say goodbye. Kelce’s retirement speech was a tour de force of emotion, humor, and memories, a beautifully written stream of consciousness remembering a 13-year career that cemented him as perhaps the greatest center of all time. 193 career games started. Six times an All-Pro. Seven Pro...
