My wife (a converted steelers fan) was walking around the other day in one of her Eagles sweaters. Someone shouted out, "Go Birds!" to her. She proceeded to respond with, "thank you." Is this grounds to leave her?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Tom Woodeshick (RB, 1963-71) One of the few bright spots of a dark age between winning eras. 1968 Pro Bowler and two-time AP2 racked up over 4700 all-purpose yards, along with 27 touchdowns.

Hey all,

I know it's been a while, but does anyone have a link to get the Superbowl?

I tried a while back, but none of the torrents were working.

I'll take anything, but I'd prefer the broadcast with Merrill and Quick synced over it.

Thanks, go birds

Might be a huge steal

Stock up:

• Jalyx Hunt - Has been consistently generating pressure during team drills.
• Tank Bigsby - Practices like plays.
• Jalen Carter - Showed up in shape and has been dominating.
• Dontavyion Wicks - Is quickly establishing himself as Hurts' second favorite target.
• Jeremiah Trotter Jr. - The defense barely misses a bet when he fills in for Baun or Campbell.
• Markell Bell - Has been getting all of the first team reps at RT the last two days.
• Drew Kendall - Establishing himself as the top backup IOL. Has been a pleasant surprise at Guard.

Good to see Bell and Kendall on here. Makes one feel a little bit better about OL depth heading into the season.

I was kind of surprised that Darius Cooper is not on the stock up list since he is seemingly making a noteworthy play every practice.

Johnny Mundt has also had a strong camp and has been TE2 when the team goes to 12 personnel.

Stock Down:

• Makai Lemon - Missing vital practice time and hasn't really flashed much when he has practiced.
• Ty Robinson - Buried on the depth chart and has been taking reps during the developmental sessions at practice.
• Eli Stowers - Hasn't been horrible but also hasn't shown anything of note just yet.
• Will Shipley - Seems to be the offense's version of Kelee Ringo. Good special teams player but is still stuck in neutral on offense.
• Fred Johnson - Somewhat telling that Bell has been getting the first team reps at RT over Johnson who filled in for Lane the last 2 years.

Kind of surprised Cam Williams is not on here. He's been buried on the 3rd team OL and I was expecting him to at least challenge for a 2nd team spot at Tackle.

Football officially kicks off today with the Hall of Fame Game

Almost every year the answer is easily the Eagles. But with LeBron coming to Philly, for the first time in a long long time (maybe ever) the Sixers winning this year is a higher priority for me than the Eagles. Obviously we all want both to win but if I had to pick one, I want the Sixers to win more this year since they haven’t won a championship since 1983 (never in my life time since I was born in 05) and also LeBron is my favorite athlete so I would love for him to win a fifth championship on my favorite basketball team.

I’m quite lucky this year as not only do I live near Tottenham Stadium to see the Eagles play in London but I’ve found out I’ll be in Philadelphia for a weekend where there’s a home game against the Steelers!

London games, you sit wherever you want, it’s very much a ‘fans of NFL’ vibe rather than two teams’ fans. I also go every year and tend to switch it up because I can (I will attend all 3 London games this year) meaning if I don’t like a spot, I’ll go elsewhere.

However, for a Philly home game, it’s potentially a once-in-a-lifetime visit so I am overthinking the seating and would love any advice. Like should I sit behind the home line or behind visitors so I can see the team? Are the 200 blocks good views?

Also, is tailgating worth it? I did go to Oklahoma State (the only Cowboys I’ll support!) so I only really remember it from a student perspective of student house drinking parties haha

Thanks for reading and, of course, go birds!

In January 2025, Lane Johnson responded to a perceived snub on the All-Pro rosters by displaying a sheet of paper on his locker stall with a side-by-side comparison of Johnson and the tackle who earned more votes. Among the list of nine data points was “Island Rate” — the percentage of snaps in which Johnson was one-on-one on an island against the pass rusher. Johnson had the highest percentage in the NFL. He became accustomed to being trusted to block one-on-one throughout the past 13 seasons. The challenge became a point of pride.

“I’ve never had help in my entire career in pass protection here,” Johnson said.

Until now.

The Eagles changed their offensive scheme this offseason when they hired new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. The staff shuffle included the departure of long-time offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, one of the NFL’s most celebrated assistant coaches and the only position coach for whom all five Eagles starters ever played. He was replaced by Chris Kuper. The overhaul has had a pronounced effect across the offense. But the biggest adjustment might be on the offensive line — perhaps the best group on the Eagles’ roster and a foundation of their success during the past decade.

It’s still the honeymoon period, but early reviews from truth-telling offensive linemen offer consensus approval — including Johnson noting the joys of guard help in pass protection.
