We start with the Eagles slate of games against the AFC West. Today, Dave previews the very tough week 10 road matchup the Eagles have with the San Diego Chargers. Maybe we can re-sign Matt Ware for this one game?

Jaworski on McNabb's contract, Eagles' chances | Philadelphia Daily News | 06/30/2009
Unlike the big to-do made of Donovan McNabb’s contract restructuring last week, Monday Night Football analyst Ron Jaworski doesn’t think it’s such a big deal. "I think it’s irrelevant, to tell you the truth," Jaworski said while sitting in his office at NFL Films last week in Mount Laurel.
McNabb partners with IHOP | Philadelphia Philly.com | 06/30/2009
McNabb and Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald both shot commercials for the campaign last week in L.A. Per Lofton, McNabb is "sacked by an overzealous IHOP waitress." The ads are scheduled to start running in August.
Dead Celebrities and Their NFL Counterparts | Inside the Iggles | A Philadelphia Eagles Blog
It’s been a tough year for celebs thus far in 2009 and it’s only half-way over. I’d like to believe things couldn’t get much worse than what we’ve seen in June, but strange has a way of following the rich and famous. At least this is the last day of the month. Maybe, just maybe, we can escape the day without another big name dropping.

An Eagles Rookie You May Not Know

Defensive end Paul Kruger has had some football experiences that he will never forget. Such fond memories include being named a Freshman All-American at Utah, as well as being selected by the Baltimore Ravens as the 57th overall player in the 2nd round of the 2009 NFL Draft.
However, the 2nd round draft selection does have a few football related remembrances in which he truly never wants to re-live again. Take for example...one particular play when his Utah Utes took on the visiting Weber State Wildcats on September 27, 2008. Before the play, Kruger did his usual thing, aligning his 6'4, 263 lbs on the flank of the defensive line. During the play, the Weber State Tight End, who was aligned on Kruger's inside shade, performed a down block to try to seal the interior defensive lineman. This would leave the 57th overall pick one on one against the Weber State Wildcat Fullback. Kruger hesitated, but that mistake shouldn't matter, right? I mean, he is a future day one pick, and we're talking about a full back from Weber State here! Wrong. The Wildcat Fullback clashes with Kruger, turns him around, and forces him to the ground. (You can watch this play here: Scroll to 2:31)
So who was the brute player that put the 2nd rounder on his back?
That talent was Weber State Fullback, and undrafted rookie free agent Marcus Malei.
Marcus Mailei signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in late April. Fans of the Eagles will come to love Marcus Mailei, as he is a hard-nosed football player who will lay a shoulder into anyone. What is interesting to note about Mailei is that he wasn't used primarily for running while at Weber State, but for receiving, making 58 catches over the past three collegiate seasons. Andy Reid loves a pass catching back as much as he loves Geno's Steaks.
Marcus Mailei will join Eagles' fullbacks Leonard Weaver and Kyle Eckel upon entering training camp.

Ellis Hobbs Chat on ESPN
An interesting Q&A w/ one of our new CBs.
One of the good ones...
"Steve (Philly) 9:48 AM
Hey Ellis, are you going to be returning kicks this year or will you just be focused on shutting receivers down
Ellis Hobbs 9:51 AM
That's the million-dollar question right there. I would like to, if I can still be successful at it, but we would have to see, depending on the status."
He also can't wait to play against his last QB (Matt Cassel).

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is leaning toward indefinitely suspending former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress(notes) and continuing to sideline quarterback Michael Vick(notes), three sources with knowledge of the situations have indicated. Such moves would be the latest examples of Goodell’s tough stance on players embroiled in off-field issues as evidenced with the suspension of Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth(notes) earlier this month.

Maclin @ Rookie Symposium
Wish I could embed this video...
Not much too it, just a brief interview w/ the new wideout. Talks of how he's doing in camp (good), how the vets are accepting the rooks (they are), and his role on the return team (he's "behind one of the best returners in the league")

Lesean McCoy Agrees to Deal

Because of the nearing of Training Camp, the Eagles needed to sign all of their draft picks before the start of the camp, and entered today with all but two of them under contract. But now there remains only one player left unsigned--WR Jeremy Maclin--as the team was able to work out a 4-year deal with 2nd-round selection LeSean McCoy today.
The details of the contractual agreement have not been disclosed, but all that matters to the fans and the staff is that McCoy (see picture) is locked up. He finished off a 2 year career at Pittsburgh University last season, and amassed a total of 3,365 yards from scrimmage and 36 touchdowns. Ranked as one of the top runningbacks going into the Draft, McCoy was taken with the 53rd overall pick by the Eagles, and compared well to starter Brian Westbrook while practicing in mini-camps. He is undoubtedly going to be a key player in the offense, whether that is this season, future seasons, or both.
