Eagles need Zach Ertz to start playing like a tight end

by Jimmy Kempski

While Zach Ertz's basic stats are falling short of expectations, they are not as alarming as what he does after he makes the catch. On Ertz's 15 receptions, he is averaging a paltry 2.3 yards after the catch, which is 40th in the NFL out of 41 tight ends with at least 10 receptions.

Handing out 10 awards from the Eagles-Cowboys game

by Jimmy Kempski

The Philadelphia Eagles had a road win within their grasp, only to see it slip away because of some egregious errors both by players and the coaching staff. To note, the words you'll read henceforth are going to be unkind to Doug Pederson. Please note that they are to be premised with the undeniable truth that on the season as a whole, Pederson has done a very good job in his rookie season as a head coach. As always, win or lose, we hand out 10 awards.

Eagles finally have stability at quarterback

by Jimmy Kempski

While Carson Wentz is coming off his worst performance of the season against the Vikings last week, he emphatically looks like a legitimate franchise quarterback, running an offense that has not been dumbed down, and putting up impressive numbers despite an incomplete offensive line and far below average skill position players.

Eagles-Cowboys Week 8 inactives, with analysis

by Jimmy Kempski

As we noted on Friday, the Philadelphia Eagles come into their Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys very healthy, with the exception of one very important player, DT Bennie Logan. Meanwhile, the Cowboys will have Dez Bryant back from a three-game absence with a knee injury, although they are missing a whole slew of players both on IR, and due to suspension.
