Here are some plays from the Eagles’ offense that stood out after watching the All-22 tape.

We’ve written a lot about DeMeco Ryans in this space since the season started.

And for good reason. The defense has exceeded expectations through two games, and Ryans is playing at a level we haven’t seen from an Eagles linebacker in years. There’s still 14 games to go, but that’s no exaggeration.

There’s also his leadership. I could write a few hundred words and try to explain that part, but the video below tells the story. It’s from Sound FX on NFL Network and features Ryans, who was mic’d up on Sunday. Take a look.

Cullen Jenkins said he’s been fined $7,875 by the NFL for unnecessary roughness against the Ravens.

The flag came in the first quarter came after Vonta Leach‘s five-yard touchdown run, as he mixed it up in the end zone with a Ravens defender. It was just one example of the chippiness between the Eagles and Ravens Sunday.

The prime example was the dust-up between DeSean Jackson and Cary Williams, where the two came to blows. Jackson hinted that he was slapped in the wallet as well.  “Probably did, but that’s my personal business,” he said.

I had a chance to take a look at the All-22 footage again this week. Today’s post will focus on the Eagles’ defense, and Thursday’s will take a look at the offense.

Here are the plays that stood out.

This Sunday’s game in Arizona is richer than anticipated when it comes to storylines. Kolb not only took over as the Cardinals starter but is playing fairly well and for a winning team. There are only four 2-0 teams in the conference, and the Eagles and Cardinals are two of them.

The former second-round pick out of Houston gets to face his old team in a meaningful game, going up against the man who took his job.

“I’ve tried to prepare myself a little bit to make sure I’m not too excited, too hyped,” said Kolb, “because obviously as a QB you have to be settled in. But I don’t know, I”ve never played a team that I’ve played for before. Obviously I have a lot of respect for those guys, coaching staff and players, and think very highly of them.”

The Demetress Bell project may have been slower coming than many anticipated, but it’s in overdrive now.

Andy Reid said  that it “will be a stretch” for King Dunlap to be ready for the Cardinals. Dunlap suffered a hamstring strain against the Ravens and will not practice Wednesday. Reid indicated he could be sidelined through Friday, opening the door for Bell to likely get his first start in an Eagles uniform.

Some are giving credit to Eagles defensive coordinator Juan Castillo. Others think the Birds are the luckiest team in the NFL. Here’s the roundup of what the national media are saying about the Eagles this week.

DeSean Jackson gave a first-person account of his dust-up with Ravens corner Cary Williams to Mike Missanelli on 97.5 The Fanatic Tuesday. Turns out, the receiver had a message for Ray Lewis afterwards.

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie joined the hundreds around the NFL paying their respects to Steve Sabol upon the news of his death.

“Steve Sabol was one of the most influential and innovative people in the NFL community,” said Lurie in a statement. “Football benefitted so much from his unique vision and incredible ability to bring fans closer to the action. He was also a joy to be around, an endless source of energy and ideas. All of us at the Eagles will miss him, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.”

The Moorestown, New Jersey native is known as the creative force behind NFL Films, which changed the way football was viewed and was a major factor in its sharp rise in popularity. He died Tuesday at the age of 69 after a fight with brain cancer.

If the Eagles were to keep up this pace, they would turn the ball over a staggering 72 times this season. Of course, everyone expects that number to level off as Michael Vick and the offense work the kinks out. But even if they finish with half that, it would still be among the highest totals during Andy Reid‘s tenure as head coach. And when the numbers are that high, the results aren’t pretty. Take a look:

Eagles center Jason Kelce will not play again in 2012. The team announced today that he has been placed on season-long injured reserve.
