Philadelphia Eagles 2009: A Final Recap

By Mark Eckel at 1:43 am on Tuesday January 19, 2010

As the Eagles ponder their future and wonder how a team that blew them out twice in six days got blown out themselves, here is look back at the 2009 season with at least one eye on 2010. Right now, the Eagles look like a perennial playoff team, but nothing more. They are good enough to find 10 to 11 wins on their schedule, but appear to be miles away from getting back to the Super Bowl. So what do they do? Let’s first look at what they have done. 5 Things That Went Right

A to-do list for the Philadelphia Eagles

By Mark Eckel at 12:17 am on Wednesday October 14, 2009

As this Eagles season continues on with the weekly beatings of bad teams and the one loss to a good team, there are some concerns the team needs to address sooner rather than later. Let’s start on the offensive side of the ball where the future looks brighter every week with the emergence of Jeremy Maclin to team with DeSean Jackson at wide receiver and Brent Celek at tight end. One of the first things the team needs to do off the field is get fullback Leonard Weaver’s name on a long-term contract.

Phillies Fail to Add to Bench,Quintin Demps Rants

I've been talking about this for weeks, and last night truly felt like the "good ol' days." You know, similar to but not quite the same as the days of pre-championships, when the Phillies couldn't make that extra move to just put them in wild card contention.......

Get these questions right and the Eagles can go a long way

By the end of the week the Eagles will have their full team at Lehigh University, for the first time in 14 years that will not include Brian Dawkins and for the first time in 10 years Jim Johnson. Replacing both the heart and the brains of the defense are just two of the questions the team must answer during their short stay in Bethlehem this summer before camp reconvenes at the NovaCare Complex. Here are a few more that need to be addressed sooner rather than later.

Special Teams Need to be More Special

By Mark Eckel at 3:52 pm on Sunday July 19, 2009

Despite two explosive rookie returnmen, a veteran kicker and a strong-legged punter, the Eagles special teams were mired in mediocrity a year ago. That might be why Rory Segrest is now the team’s defensive line coach and Ted Daisher, a former special teams assistant under John Harbaugh, is back in charge of the once top-five unit. Daisher left the Eagles to first become the Oakland Raiders special teams coach and then moved onto Cleveland under Romeo Crennel.

The Eagles' plan for Hobbs

By The Eye at 6:45 pm on Monday June 15, 2009

The Eye has shed some light on the acquisition of Ellis Hobbs. When the Eagles traded for Hobbs, most evereyone thought it was to add depth to the secondary. While there is something to that, The Eye has learned that the team really likes Hobbs as a kickoff returner. If Quintin Demps wins the starting safety job, Andy Reid will likely take him off returns. This would leave the job solely to Hobbs. And even if Demps stays on returns, Hobbs will be back there as well, as the No. 1 KO returner. If the situation changes, The Eye will be on top of it!
