Can the Eagles find a way to use Sproles more often? - Inquirer
But the Sproles of the first half of the season was different from the second-half version.

Malcolm Jenkins: Biggest move in secondary was coaching change - CSN Philly

Mathis is a good starting OG. PFF would have you believe he’s some kind of combination of Larry Allen, Randall McDaniel and Will Shields. As much as I like Mathis, he won’t be heading to Canton after his career. I don’t blame him for wanting the money. Football players have short careers. You have to strike while the iron is hot.
