by Jimmy Kempski

A look at the Eagles' players over 30, and their succession plan for each

by Jimmy Kempski

When a large number of players begin to accelerate in age without a succession plan in place, that's when good, old teams become "rebuilding" teams, as opposed to "reloading" teams. And so, let's take a look at whether or not the Eagles have a succession plan in place for their older players.

NFC Hierarchy/Obituary: Post-draft edition

by Jimmy Kempski

For those of you who are new here, we do a "Hierarchy/Obituary" post every week during the season, in which we kill off teams that have reached the point where they have almost no chance to make the playoffs. We then write their obituary and never speak of them in the Hierarchy again. Anyway, it's my hackneyed sell-out spin on the more traditional "power rankings." Got it? Cool. Let's do a post-draft edition.

A too-early look at what positions are strong in the 2021 NFL Draft

by Jimmy Kempski

The 2021 NFL Draft is more than 11 months away, and a lot can/will change between now and then, as prospects will rise and fall.
