Behind the ‘Legend Of Kiko Alonso’ - Birds 24/7
"I tell the guys all the time: ‘Kiko’s not all the way there.’ When it comes to hitting, man, he doesn’t care. He’s going to try and smash you. You guys will see that once we get pads on, get to see this guy play up close and personal. The way he hits guys makes you think twice."

Eagles rookie Rowe ready to tackle cornerback - Inquirer
"I strongly believe," Eagles defensive backs coach Cory Undlin said, "the kid can be a top-level corner in this league." The Eagles won't press Rowe into starting immediately. If veteran Nolan Carroll plays as well as he did during the spring, the cornerback spot opposite Byron Maxwell will be his.

Catching passes at wide receiver requires a village on this roster. More changes here, as you know. Rookie Nelson Agholor and veteran Miles Austin join the ranks which includes veteran Riley Cooper and second-year men Jordan Matthews and Josh Huff.

We can project improvement coming over from the St. Louis Rams to a dramatically improved situation in terms of weapons, protection and coaching all we want. The fact remains Bradford owns a losing record as a quarterback in the NFL. He's never won or so much been a playoff game. He's never posted Pro Bowl caliber numbers or come particularly close. If you would've asked me for my opinion of Bradford in an offhand manner six months ago, admittedly I probably would've told you he's just a guy.
