Eagles players would be wise not to punch cabana boys this summer

At one point or another in all of our lives, we've all seriously considered punching a cabana boy due to a dispute over an umbrella. Most of us are able to exercise self control in those situations, but unfortunately that was not the case with Nigel Bradham last summer.

Eagles OL coach Jeff Stoutland's many, many thoughts on his offensive linemen

On Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles' assistant coaches gathered for a media session with reporters for a half hour or so each. I chose to camp out with offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland for the entirety of the offensive portion of the day. Rather than produce a column on a few of his points, we'll just publish all of Stoutland's thoughts on his linemen, from top to bottom, organizing his words by player.

A look at Carson Wentz's 14 interceptions in 2016

To note, Carson Wentz threw 607 passes last season. The following video shows only 14 of those. That would be 2.3 percent of his passes. For context, over his career, Donovan McNabb was eighth all time in INT percentage, and he threw interceptions on 2.2 percent of his passes. In other words, this is not a time to crack each others' heads open and feast on the goo inside.

Eagles are going 'fullback by committee'

During the 2016 season, the Philadelphia Eagles' "fullback" was defensive tackle Beau Allen. He played a grand total of seven snaps at fullback, or 0.6 percent of the Eagles' offensive snaps a season ago. With Allen recovering from a pectoral muscle, one of the more common questions I've gotten this offseason has been who is going to play fullback this season.
