Making Sense of the Eagles Draft so far.

The Eagles took 12th overall DT from Mississippi State Fletcher Cox which was just a great pickup this guy will excell in Wasburns D and next to veterean Pro Bowl guys like Trent Cole,Jason Babin and Cullen Jenkins will help this guy be a Pro Bowl DT. In the second round the Eagles picked up a monster at ILB Mychael Kendricks from WV this guy is a monster he was a sack machine and had great cover ability he should start at SAM like Reid said. Then we got Vinny Curry DE from Marshall another great guy to give Washburn to work with has great speed and will fight for playing time with Brandon Grahm. Nick Foles is an interesting situation he holds all records for Arizona State has a rocket arm but is very slow and non mobile he will battle with Kafka and Trent Edwards for the #2 and #3 QB Job.

Could the Eagles still go LB in the first round?

The Eagles addressed the postition by making a trade with the Texans to aqquire Demeco Ryans but the SAM postition is still a ? for a lot of people. Right now it looks like that position will be owned by Jamar Chaney who played the position for a couple weeks last year until Matthews was moved out of the middle and Chaney was put there. I still think maybe they could get a Keuchly if he falls but I dont find that likely so the next best would be Dont'a Hightower could he be that guy could he play the SAM? Dont know would love to see him in Eagles green but there are other positions to address and I see them going DT but you never know Howie Roseman told Philadelphiaeagles.com Dave Spodaro that they are looking for best player avalible.

2012 Eagles Predictioins

The NFL Schedule was officially released yesterday at 7 so I am going to give my prediction on the Eagles this year.
Week 1. Eagles @ Browns Eagles win 24-10 1-0

Ok let be honest the Eagles will walk through the Browns to go 1-0 McCoy will be hunted by Cole and Babin and Vick will pick a part that defense.








Week 2. Eagles vs Ravens Eagles lose 13-10 1-1

This one is going to be an awsome game defenses are going to shut down each other Vick and Flacco will have a really hard time and McCoy and Rice are going to have to carry them if they can get out of the backfield

Week 3. Eagles @ Cardinals    Eagles win 34-21 2-1                                     A Rematch of the 2010 NFC Title game and last years game when the Cardinal broke Vick's ribs and won but the Eagles are going to be different this year and I will say they steam rolle this game McCoy will have a huge game and I have a gutsy feeling Maclin will perform great Eagles win this one and improve to 2-1

Week 4. Eagles vs Giants Eagles win 21-17 3-1                        Eagles take on the Superbowl champs in another defensive showdown I got a clutch drive by Vick and a TD to Desean Jackson to win the game Eagles remain hot and go to 3-1.

Week 5. Eagles @ Steelers Eagles Lose 24-13 3-2 Eagles battle for Pennsylvania against the Steelers gonna be a great game but think the Eagles will get the short end of the stick with Mike Wallace,Emanuel Sanders,and Antonio Brown gonna be hard to contain them Steelers defense just too tough Eagles fall to 3-2.

Week 6. Eagles vs Lions Eagles lose 35-28 3-3

A giant showdown offensively gonna be a shootout I think Vick and Jackson connect big in this game and McCoy has a huge game recieving and rushing but the Lions explosive recievers get best of Eagles in a close one Eagles fall to 500.

Week 7. Bye.

Week 8. Eagles vs Falcons Eagles win 23-14 4-3

Eagles are always great coming off the bye and last time the Eagles met the Falcons at the Linc Kolb and the Eagles lit them up so I see that happening again with Nnamdi shutting down White and McCoy having another huge game.

Week 9. Eagles @ Saints Eagles win 28-24 5-3

Saints not gonna be as good as usual with all those players suspended and not getting a first rounder or a second Eagles play in another highly offensive game Vick has a great game rushing and recieving Demeco Ryans lights up the Saints running game Eagles improve to 5-3.

Week 10. Eagles vs Cowboys Eagles win 20-14 6-3

Eagles big rivalry game in Philly is gonna be a closer one then people expect DRC makes a big pick in the end of the game and McCoy puts it away.

   

Week 11. Eagles @ Redskins Eagles win 27-20 7-3

Eagles always have success against the Redskins though a young Vick like RG3 could give us some struggles Vick thrives against bad secondary for Redskins improve to 7-3.

Week 12. Eagles vs Panthers (Monday Night) Eagles lose 23-14 7-4

Ok Eagles will cool off as big as this game will be Newton vs Vick will be a awsome matchup but I just see the Panthers giving the Eagles a rough time with Newton's versatilitie but hey they get to practice against the older Newton but Eagles cant stop Newton in this one.

Week 13. Eagles @ Cowboys Eagles lose 30-28 7-5
Eagles will be coming off a bad loss and going into Dallas will be tough with that atmosphere I think it will come right down to the end when a game winning FG by the Cowboys wins it Eagles drop 7-5.

Week 14. Eagles @ Bucs Eagles win 28-21 8-5
Eagles in another close one but cant afford to lose 3 straight in this division and playoff race will be a tough matchup but Eagles will pull it off when in OT Vick throws a game winner to Brent Celek.

Week 15. Eagles vs Bengals Eagles win 35-20 9-5
Bengals defense is just not enough to stop Desean McCoy Maclin and Vick I see McCoy having a 200 yard game and Eagles winning a crucial game in the end of the season.

Week 16. Eagles vs Redskins Eagles win 24-21 10-5

Eagles just are too hot right now to let RG3 stop them it will be close though but the Redskins just arent ready to beat the Eagles this year Eagles win from a crucial stop on the last Redskins drive of the game.

Week 17. Eagles vs Giants NFC Title game Eagles win 21-14 11-5

The Biggest game of the season is here and the Eagles need to step it up to make sure they get in the playoffs and win the NFC East but the Giants wont roll over it will take till 5 Mins left in the 4th quarter until Trent Cole says enough sacks Manning on 4th and 5 Eagles make playoffs.

My playoff predictions will be on youtube.com/nflexperts when we finish our complete NFL predictions but for now heres our Eagles Regular Season Predictions.

Eagles sign LT Demetres Bell

The Eagles had a tragic thing happen when Pro Bowl LT Jason Peters tore his Achilles tendon working out. The Eagles though immediately started trying to fill that hole re signing King Dunlap to a 1 year deal and now signing former LT for Buffalo Bills Demetris Bell (Don't know how his first name is spelled.) my thought on this is Bell and Dunlap will battle for starting job. I actually like Dunlap to win that job and here is why. When Bell started in Buffalo his QB Ryan Fitzpatrick released the ball very quickly so Bell did not have to block for long and when he did it didn't look very good. Michael Vick as we all know holds on to the ball longer so in case no one is open he can run. That is the test Bell will have is adjusting to Vick hanging on to the ball a little longer. I think Bell is up for it but I really like Dunlap he played good when he started for the Eagles and he is ginormous but they would not put that much effort into signing Bell if they didn't have anything big planned for him.... just a thought.
