Long-time Philadelphia Eagles kicker David Akers was interviewed on Angelo Cataldi and the Morning Team on February 2, 2011.
By Bill Campbell: There is not much doubt that Sean McDermott, the Eagles defensive coordinator, was a marked man all season. He has been since Jim Johnson, his predecessor, passed away in July of 2009.
The shakeup on defense continued for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. One day after relieving defensive coordinator Sean McDermott of his duties, the Eagles did the same with defensive line coach Rory Segrest.
The Eagles have fired their defensive coordinator, Sean McDermott, Eagles officials stated Saturday.
By Bill Campbell: Eagles' owner Jeffrey Lurie once called his team "the gold standard". I wonder if he included Andy Reid's coaching record of double digit wins 8 times in 12 years.
"Obviously, the third-down situation on both sides of the ball was a huge factor," Reid told reporters on Monday.
For the first time since dislocating his elbow in the initial Dallas game, middle linebacker Stewart Bradley was on the practice field in a limited role.
The Eagles returned to practice today as they get ready for Sunday's playoff showdown with the Packers at the Linc.
The Eagles open the playoffs on Sunday the same way they began the regular season – with a home game against the Green Bay Packers. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming game.
Andy Reid knows all about the hand he's been dealt. He knows that this isn't a Philadelphia Eagles team loaded with experience up and down the roster. He also knows that the Green Bay Packers may feed off this on Sunday.
Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is unlikely to play against the Dallas Cowboys after he missed a second straight day of practice Friday.
It would be extremely difficult to over-use or even embellish the word "miracle". But the Eagles made it easier last Sunday. We've been referring to the first Eagles "Miracle of the Meadowlands" since 1978 – 32 years ago.
Eagles' head coach Andy Reid referred to Sunday's 38-31 come-from-behind win over the Giants as one of the "all-time great games in NFL history."
DeSean Jackson erupts capping an improbably comeback to beat the Giants.
Jackson (at left in photo) has been dealing with a sprained foot. Samuel has a knee injury.
Graham, the 13th overall pick in this year's draft, tore his anterior cruciate ligament in Sunday night's 30-27 win at Dallas.
Before Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles can even think about playing at Cowboys Stadium in February, they're going to have to knock off the Dallas Cowboys. Twice, preferably.
Head coach Andy Reid has listed both cornerback Asante Samuel and tackle Winston Justice as questionable for the NFC East game. Both are dealing with knee injuries.
The Eagles are a vastly different than the team that got swept three times by Dallas last year.
After five days off, the Eagles returned to practice today to get ready for their game in Dallas on Sunday night.
"What a great fourth quarter," Reid said.
When the Philadelphia Eagles march into FedEx Field on Monday night for their rematch with the Washington Redskins, they'll do so with a share of first place on the line.
By Andy Wheeler: So do I laugh? No. Do I gloat? Maybe a little for some fun...but this is crazy. I don't understand it. I mean, I think it's clear that I've not been the biggest Donovan Fan. But bench Donovan for Rex Grossman?
Kenny Britt's big day cost Ellis Hobbs his starting job. Dimitri Patterson has replaced Hobbs as the right cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles. The sixth-year pro will start against Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts (4-2) on Sunday.
Near the season's midpoint, the Philadelphia Eagles are right in the middle of things in a parity-filled conference.
