Juan Castillo Remains Philadelphia Eagles Defensive Coordinator: Good Move

Juan Castillo Will Remain the Eagles Defensive Coordinator Mandatory Credit: Howard Smith-US PRESSWIRE

I first saw this from National Football Post though it’s by way of the Philadelphia Inquirer. I know that I”m in the minority here by a long shot, but I think the Philadelphia Eagles are smart to let Juan Castillo remain the defensive coordinator. I should disclose the fact that I am in fact a New York Giants fan, but as a guy who watches a lot of of football I honestly think this is the right move for the Eagles. The Philadelphia Eagles had their fair of struggles with Juan Castillo as their defensive coordinator and it’s true that for much of the season it seemed like a big mistake for Reid to hire an offensive linemen as defensive coordinator in the first place, but by the end of the season I think the Eagles found their groove on defense.

New York Giants vs Philadelphia Eagles Mark Herzlich’s Time to Shine

Jesse Bartolis — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 13:00:28 +0000

Mark Herzlich Might see His first meaninful snaps of his rookie season

Prior to the season the New York Giants circled this game vs the Philadelphia Eagles expect the game to be for the division. 6 bad losses by the Eagles has made this game lose some of it’s luster. Sure if the Eagles run the table they can still win the division and make the playoffs, but that seems likely. For the Giants this game means everything. With a win the Giants will essentially end the Eagles season, sweep the Eagles for the season, and earn some revenge and redemption from last year’s debacle in the miracle at the Meadowlands. The Eagles will be without Michael Vick and Maclin. The Giants without Bradshaw and Michael Boley.

The biggest story of this game is that Michael Boley is not going to play and that means feel good story Mark Herzlich will likely play and possibly even start. He will split opportunities with Jacquian Williams and Spencer Paysinger. Herzlich has not taken a snap in a regular defensive formation this year.

The Young Giants linebackers vs Vince Young and Shady McCoy

Like I just mentioned a moment ago, the Giants will use a rotation of Spencer Paysinger, Jacquain Williams, and Mark Herzlich in replace of the injured Michael Boley on Sunday Night. Paysinger looked lost at times last week (as did Greg Jones). Jacquian Williams has shown plus ability all year in pass coverage, blitzing and in run defense as a chase and run kind of guy. Williams looks to be the most talented of the linebacker group, but is the most raw.

Mark Herzlich is considered the most cerebral of the three players who has plus instincts and a non-stop motor. He also was a very good player, potential first round player, before he was diagnosed with cancer at Boston College. Herzlich is two years removed from cancer now and I’m really interested to see how he plays on Sunday. This is the biggest story-line in the game (other than who wins yadda yadda yadda) to me.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Greg Jones as well. So far Jones has shown me that he doesn’t have the ability to play sideline to sideline and that’s what you need vs LeSean McCoy. I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t play much.

NFL Power Rankings Week 9: Lions, Bengals, and Eagles, (and Bears) Oh My

Jesse Bartolis — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 06:30:46 +0000

Run Vick Run...for your life

Time for the weekly power rankings. Some shocking (to me wins) have changed up the power rankings. The Miami Dolphins finally get on the board, does it move them up any?

Looking for more to read? We have now updated our scouting report page to include more than 75 scouting reports. Check it out.

32. Indianapolis Colts (Previously Colts)

The biggest question now should be, does Jim Caldwell get to keep his job when the Colts draft Andrew Luck first overall next year. We’ll actually they might win a few late season games if the Colts let Peyton Manning back onto the field. Anyone who ever questioned anything about Peyton Manning looks just silly.

31. St. Louis Rams (previously Dolphins)

The lost to the Cardinals with John Skeleton. The Rams are not very good. Their schedule in the second half of the season is pretty ”easy” so they should be able to pull out a few victories

30. Miami Dolphins (Previously Cardinals)

I’m beginning to think that Matt Moore isn’t a bad option as a backup quarterback, really good game vs the Chiefs up in Kansas City, which is not an easy place to win. The Dolphins have played a few good games in a row and I’m going to move them up one spot because of their victory and the Rams bad loss to the Cardinals.

NFL Mocks NFL Recaps Week 8

chrisransom — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:54:31 +0000

The Patriots VS Steelers game recap will be posted on my other Patriots blog I write. You got to give mad props to Pittsburgh. I had them winning 28 to 27 in my predictions. Its hard to believe the Steelers came through on the only time I ever decided to pick against Tom Brady. Most fans I know were shocked by the victory. I wasn’t that surprised because Pittsburgh had the better left tackle and worked on coverage in practice all week hoping it would pay off. The coverage did.

I also plan on writing 2 game recaps for the Night games tomorrow. Cowboys VS Eagles and Chargers VS Chiefs recaps should be up tomorrow. With this in motion lets begin with 10 NFL recaps.

Fantasy Football: Will it Last Fred Jackson, Eagles, Dolphins

Reggie McColgan — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 13:16:12 +0000

Will it Last?

How many times do we see a team or a player exceed expectations in a football game and we think there is no way that can last. That player is either too young or not that good. That team had an easy week or the ball just bounced their way. Most times it does not last, but every so often those early signs are premonitions of what is to come. In this weekly column we will look at 3 players and 3 teams who stood out and ponder their longevity.

Players

Fred Jackson: Fred Jackson, before the 2011 season, was a solid player. A player coaches believed could rush in tandem with CJ Spiller who would eventually replace him. Well, it is CJ’s second year and there is no way Fred Jackson is giving up his spot. Through five games Fred Jackson has rushed for 480 yards and 5 touchdowns. He also is a big part in the passing game. In fantasy terms he is a weekly starter. Do I believe Jackson will rush for over 1400 yards? Absolutely. Will last all season.

The N.F.C. East Lays an Egg. Rex Grossman Might be Right about Redskins

Jesse Bartolis — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:24:46 +0000

Rex Grossman's bold prediction that the Redskins would win the division looks better and better every week, because the N.F.C. East looks worse and worse (picture source insidetheiggles.com)

It’s long been assumed that the N.F.C. West should be renamed to the N.F.C. Worst, but on Sunday the N.F.C. East staked it’s claim to be called the N.F.C. Least with two brutal losses in the only games they played on Sunday (both Dallas and Washington had a bye). In a division that has been one of the best divisions in football in the past decade (every team has been to the playoffs at least once), people were expecting a lot from the N.F.C. East heading into this season, but so far through the first five weeks the N.F.C. East really looks down. Rex Grossman’s “absurd” prediction that the Washington Redskins will win the division looks better every week.

Buffalo Bills vs the Philadelphia Eagles: What to watch for

Jesse Bartolis — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 12:00:25 +0000

Fred Jackson has been one of the best players in the N.F.L. early this season...will his success continue on Sunday?

Today the 3-1 Buffalo Bills will host the 1-3 Philadelphia Eagles in the, “isn’t this supposed to be the other way?” game of the day. The Eagles have struggled along their offensive and defensive lines while the Bills have beat up on the hapless A.F.C. West (the Chiefs and Raiders, though I actually think the Raiders are pretty good) and turned four picks on Tom Brady into an upset of the New England Patriots. The Eagles will be coming into this game looking to save their season, if the Eagles start their season 1-4 with 5 division games left and games vs New England, Chicago, and the Jets, the Eagles could find themselves on the outside looking in for the playoff picture. The Bills need this game to show the world that they were no flash in the pan the first three weeks of the season.

As always we’ll focus on the critical matchups that involve the young guys.But when you talk about the Eagles you realize there aren’t a ton of young guys (rookies and second year players) getting a lot of snaps, as this is becoming a veteran win now team.

Eagles injuries: Out: Trent Cole, Jason Peters

Bills injuries: Out: Chris Kelsay, Aaron Williams, Demetrius Bell, Torrel Troup, Chris White

Marcell Dareus vs Todd Herrmans and Kyle Williams vs Jason Kelce

Each team will have a rookie that has a tough battle ahead of him tomorrow. No one denies Marcell Dareus’s talents, even though he hasn’t put up the huge numbers this year (11 tackles and 1 sack). He has shown that he is an absolute load to move. The Bills don’t have a great pass rush (one could even say abysmal-4 sacks in 4 games), so they will need Dareus to be in the backfield a lot to help control (or at least slow down) LeSean McCoy and Michael Vick.

On the other hand the Eagles will start Jason Kelce who has been impressive at center, but he will be going up against last year’s Bills sensation Kyle Williams. Williams had an All-pro type of year last year and has been pretty good this year as well. This will be the best player Kelce has faced this season, will he able to handle the excellent Williams, or will Williams create havoc in Vick’s face?

2012 NFL Mock Draft: The Chiefs Are In Luck!

Ronny Hurd — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 19:52:51 +0000

Is Mr. Luck Packing His Bags For Kansas? (Picture courtesy of The110Report)

1. Kansas City Chiefs: Andrew Luck, Quarterback, Stanford

The Chiefs will start fresh next season with a new quarterback under center along with getting both Jamaal Charles and Eric Berry back from their injuries.

2. Indianapolis Colts: Matt Kalil, Offensive Tackle, USC

Protecting Peyton Manning will be a key next season for the Colts. He will be coming off a few neck injuries that can’t be risked by a shaky offensive line.

3. Seattle Seahawks: Matt Barkley, Quarterback, USC

Both Tarvaris Jackson and Charlie Whitehurst aren’t the Seahawks now or in the future. Got to wonder if Pete Carroll is already planning the reunion party since he was the coach at USC during Matt Barkley’s freshman year.
