Frank: Most overrated and underrated Eagles: DBs
Lito Sheppard made plenty of big plays for the Eagles, but was he overrated or underrated? Reuben Frank rates the top three overrated and underrated DBs in Eagles history.

Iggles Blitz " Blog Archive " More On Nnamdi And The Offseason
There is no good RCB on the roster right now. The Eagles know that and will fill the spot. I think too many people see Asomugha or nothing. That’s not the case. There are other options. We haven’t discussed them at length because we don’t yet know the FA rules so it’s hard to know who to focus on.

Kickoff Rule Update: Expect Touchbacks Galore — McNabb or Kolb | Philadelphia Eagles Blog
Maybe next year they won't even have to do the extra point - commercial break - kickoff - commercial break thing. Just let commercial break run right through the kickoff.

Eagles' Vick hopes Burress uses him as an example
"Hopefully he'll use my situation as an example and go out and try and emulate what I've done in his own way," Vick said. "That's what it's about. It's about growth and it's about learning. Things in life happen in stages and those are some things you have to go through as an individual."

Giving 'Em Fitz: Welcome to the real world, NFL | Philadelphia Inquirer | 06/08/2011

The labor impasse between the NFL and its players continues. Imagine how much quicker things might be resolved if these people were subjected to the same financial stresses as the rest of us.

The "Unemotional GM" implores the Redskins… Don’t sign a big name RB – Blogging the bEast
I keep reading about how the Redskins should sign a running back in free agency, and to me it just doesn’t make much sense.

Andy Reid on Plaxico: 'We haven't even gone there' | National Football Post
In the midst of the lockout, Reid is correct. There is nothing the Eagles can do in regards to Burress or any other free agent. That doesn’t mean they can’t talk about potential moves internally. Surely, at some point Burress’ name will come up. The Eagles have pledged to be aggressive in free agency. It might not take an aggressive deal to sign Burress though as his list of suitors could be small.

I don't get Roob's column

Is there anyone outside of Lito’s mother who doesn’t realize Brown was the better player? And even Lewis’s mother knows his career went into the toilet. How can you be overrated when everyone thinks you’re crap? He got benched for Sean Considine. SEAN CONSIDINE.

Well you probably need to remember that Roob has a radio show & a lot of people also comment on his facebook page on his articles so just cause people here at BGN agree doesn’t mean that everyone else did & I think one of the reasons why he did was because Lito went to two pro bowls people probably didn’t think he was crap when he got those nods.

Well, he did make two pro bowls over Sheldon, so obviously a lot of people thought that. Maybe less so now, but then.

If I live to be 120 years old I will never understand why Buddy didn’t like Wes Hopkins. Seeing Hoage or Jenkins in the game instead of Wes used to have my blood pressure boiling! Just stupid.
