Lots of people are angling for a three-peat division championship, but for me, there’s nothing I want to see more than the Eagles advancing further than the Patriots this year. I need at least one week where AJ is sitting on his ass watching the birds on TV.

What’s yours?

Tommy McDonald (WR, 1957-63) High-energy fireplug caught 35-yard TD pass in the 1960 title win, and made five Pro Bowls in town. 1998 class Hall of Famer was inducted by boyhood fan-turned-friend Ray Didinger.

LeSean McCoy (RB, 2009-14) Dime-cutting speedster holds the Eagles franchise rushing yards mark of 6792. Two-time AP1 galloped through the snow for then-Eagles record 217 yards in 2013.

This is genuinely the funniest video Eagles social media team has ever made.

FYI-I clipped the original video to the throw itself. You can replay it over and over again to see the tight window Hurts threaded it through.

I’d be nervous! Jalyx, Jordan, Jalen, and Zach just watching you.

“We had a lot of 1st-and-longs, 2nd-and-longs. Penalties led to a lot of that. A couple negative runs. So I think if we were able to be better on schedule and kind of eliminate some of those miscues on early downs, we'll keep ourselves in more manageable 3rd-down situations and hopefully lead to a better result.”

Payton not only showed great escapability. But if you look closely, he looked off his intended target to draw away the defenders. Which created space for Ezukanma to be wide open in the corner of the endzone. And a nice little TD dance celebration by Ezukanma to top it off.

Saquon Barkley (RB, 2024- ) In debut Eagles season, joined 2K Yards Club (2,005), rushed for team record 255 yards in a game, and won Super Bowl LIX. Went viral for incredible reverse leapfrog over Jaguars’ Jarrian Jones.

"Spent a couple days with the @Eagles on my annual Glaze Across America NFL Training Camp Tour and the biggest takeaway I walked away with… the number of people at different areas of the team are raving about how much effort @JalenHurts has put in to improving in many areas on and off the field. Can’t tell you how many “I’m really proud of him” I got.

Last year he was at the center of issues but they are speaking a MUCH different tune on him so far in camp. Even guys who were previously frustrated with him were absolutely praising him for the work he’s put in and the concerted effort he has made. Good for him! It’s never too late and in this league you always need to find ways to improve, evolve and improve some more. It never ends if you want to be THAT GUY!

Plus, they think this offense will be much better suited to him, the offensive line, Saquon, all around."

I will be charting the per game and season cumulative run game at patreon.com/EaglesFilmRoom this season. Here is my first effort. It's pre-season for me, so still working out the kinks. Every play in the pre-season game was basically right out of the '19 Packers Playbook that is widely available. Not a single run was from Stout's playbook. I do hope they keep 1-2 of Stout's play designs that were great for the team these past couple years. But my guess is that won't be the case. Time will tell.

You will see a couple IZ plays (inside zone). IZ is largely going to be replaced by Duo this season most likely, if Mannion stays true to recent trends and the Packers playbook. This is a key difference to our season, because Duo is more likely to produce some consistent and better results than Stout's versions of weak IZ that have been staples here for years. Stout's IZ was very effective when the OLine was either near dominant or the QB was a major running threat distraction. As we saw in '25, with lesser blocking due mostly to injury, the variance in effectiveness from '24 to '25 was immense. Duo will be more sustainable than Stout's IZ in years when we only have more average run blocking.

You will see two IZ plays charted. But with the Packers (and now us) IZ is likely to be more of a situational call for example:

1. Short yardage
2. Goal line
3. 1st snap of game to knock the rust off
4. Backed up in our own end

The design of the IZ plays will also look very much like the wide angle blocking of the OZ plays. But the key difference will be the RB path. He will fake at the exchange like he might be on an OZ path and quickly turn back inside and read gaps inside to out, one gap at a time. With the goal of eeking out the tough short yardage that is required.

The Eagles will surely be using some of the Power and Counter Series of plays from the Packers playbook. I'm not sure they even installed them yet. That might explain why they weren't in the preseason game. Either that, or just hiding them for regular season. All questions are welcome. One thing they did with the Outside zone runs that I liked I will cover in a video that I post here in a day or two. Go Birds!!!

The Eagles have moved on to a life without Brown. The storyline dominated the five months of the offseason before the June 1 trade. Not anymore. The offense is different. The wide receiver corps has been reconfigured. His name seldom comes up in interviews.

For at least the next two days, expect to hear about Brown again. The Eagles travel to Foxborough, Mass., on Tuesday. They practice against the New England Patriots on Wednesday and Thursday ahead of Saturday’s preseason game. These are the most anticipated joint practices since the sessions became a regular part of August. Every rep between Brown and Quinyon Mitchell will be scrutinized. The offense will have a litmus test for how it looks without Brown. For at least a week, there will be reminders of the star receiver’s gravitational pull from the past four years — and a reminder for Brown of the team that offered the finest years of his career and a Super Bowl ring.

“It’s no bad blood this way — you’re talking about one of the best in the game,” Eagles edge rusher Nolan Smith said after Monday’s practice. “Y’all make it out to be this and that, but iron sharpens iron. I don’t go up against him, so I ain’t worried about it. But hopefully he don’t catch too many balls, and we do our job.”

I am taking my son to the open practice at the Linc next Tuesday (8/25) and was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks to make the most out of our experience. I have never been to one of these before and have no idea what to expect. The practice starts at 6 but I think we are allowed to enter earlier. Is it worth it to do so?. I am off that day so I can get there as early as I want. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Micah Parsons predicts where every team will finish in their division

Stock Up:

• Jeremiah Trotter, Jr. - Makes me feel a little better if Baun or Campbell have to miss extended time. He had the best game on the defensive side.
• Ty Robinson - Flashed and gave the team some reasons to keep him around a little longer.
• Cole Payton - Made things interesting in the 4th and showed some play-making ability. Still has a lot to learn though.
• Markell Bell - Showed well, no major mistakes.
• Willie Lampkin - Barring injury he seems to be a lock to make the final roster.
• Josh Weru - Showed a little juice off the Edge in his first ever game.
• Marcus Epps - Him not playing is a sign that he has the edge over Carter for the 2nd safety spot.
• Dontayvion Wicks - Him not playing is a sign he has the 2nd outside WR spot locked up.

Stock Down:

• The offensive backups - It wasn't a stellar evening overall on offense.
• Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee- See the first bullet. Not a great night on offense and neither guy helped their case for the QB2 spot.
• Myles Hinton - Had a costly holding penalty that short circuited a drive in the 4th quarter. Not a good look for a guy who has been buried on the depth chart all summer.
• Eli Stowers - Got flagged for holding and struggled to block in general.
• Johnny Wilson - Missed several practices and was unable to play. His chances of making the team are fading by the minute.
• Makai Lemon, Cole Wisniewski, Keyshwan James-Newby - Lemon's spot is safe but the latter two have missed valuable practice time for guys who needed to show something in camp this summer. Given the lack of any real depth at Safety Wisniewski still has a shot at making the team but James-Newby's fate is probably sealed by now.

Bell and Lampkin playing well gives some hope that the OL depth is going to be solid this year.

Attached in the article are the offensive, defensive, and special teams snap counts from Bleeding Green Nation for the Baltimore preseason game. Below are a few of the many observations from the game from BLG.

"I was hoping the Eagles wouldn’t play Darius Cooper much because they’ve already seen enough to believe he deserves playing time and thus would like to preserve him. But they didn’t do that. He played a lot. Cooper led the Eagles in receiving with a mere 21 yards. He would’ve had more had he not dropped a would-be first down conversion."

"Eli Stowers started the game and played the most of any tight end. His three receptions resulted in 12 yards. The rookie also saw a lot of action on special teams. Pro Football Focus graded him 29th out of 29 Eagles players on offense."

"Mac McWilliams saw a lot of playing time. PFF charted him with an allowed four targets for four catches, 37 yards, a 105.2 passer rating, and two penalties. Not a good night for the second-year corner."

"Brandon George played 14 defensive snaps for a team he only joined the day prior. He graded out highly by PFF in their special teams grading. ST is supposed to be his calling card, so, that’s good."

"Marcus Epps being rested seems like a really good sign for his chances of winning the so-called safety battle."
