Rex Ryan (wrongly) would do LeSean McCoy deal again

by Jimmy Kempski

This past offseason, Chip Kelly famously (or infamously, depending on your take) turned the Eagles' roster on its head, swapping out superstars and starters and replacing them with new faces. Of course, one of the biggest moves they made was when they traded LeSean McCoy to the Bills for Kiko Alonso.

Week 7 NFL picks

by Jimmy Kempski

For the gambling degenerates, here are my Week 7 picks. To note, the helmets indicate who I think will win the game, not cover the spread. At the end of the picks, I'll note a few teams that I like based on the spread.

Is Sam Bradford’s inaccuracy a mental issue?

by Jimmy Kempski

I wouldn't necessarily directly attribute Bradford guiding passes to his two ACLs the way Kelly described it, in that he's not favoring his leg in any way. But clearly, if indeed he is "guiding" his passes, you can go ahead and call that a mental issue.

Film breakdown: How the Eagles defense outsmarted Eli Manning

by Jimmy Kempski

In the second quarter of the Eagles-Giants game last Monday night, Eli Manning made what looked like a terrible throw to the outside that was picked off by Nolan Carroll and returned for a touchdown. Carroll's play made the score 14-7, and the Eagles never looked back.

Brian Dawkins is impressed with the Eagles' defensive line

by Jimmy Kempski

The Eagles' defensive line has simply been tremendous this season, led by sure-fire All-Pro DE Fletcher Cox and NT Bennie Logan. Opposing offenses, save for a few moments in Washington, have not been able to run on the Eagles' defense all season, and former Eagles great Brian Dawkins is impressed.

After six weeks, the Eagles have one of the best defenses in the NFL

by Jimmy Kempski

Do the Eagles have one of the best defenses in the NFL? Yes. Yes they do. I could write a few thousand words of analysis of the topic, and I probably will as the week progresses, but for now, let's just look at what the Eagles have accomplished on defense through the first six weeks of the season, statistically:

Continuity on defense is beginning to pay off for the Eagles

by Jimmy Kempski

This offseason, the Eagles' offense went through a significant overhaul when Chip Kelly tried to replace two starting guards on their offensive line, traded for a new quarterback, replaced their running back, and drafted a new starter at wide receiver. Unquestionably, in my opinion, their struggles this season can at least partially be attributed to a lack of continuity.
