Eagles Wake-Up Call: Getting McCoy the Ball

Philadelphia Eagles RB LeSean McCoy.Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan offered up high praise when asked about LeSean McCoy this week.

“To me that’s the best back in football,” Ryan said, per ESPNDallas.com. “I really believe that. I think he’s tremendous. He’s so talented. He’s got vision everywhere. He’s so quick. And I think (offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinwheg) is the only guy probably that can stop him because that guy is phenomenal. So if they don’t give it to him, that’s a good thing. But he’s super talented.”

Coaching Buzz: Gruden, Kelly And Arians

A lot of talk among Eagles fans right now is focused not on the team’s Week 10 game against the Cowboys, but rather who the next head coach could potentially be.

Eagles Wake-Up Call: Iron-Man Celek

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brent Celek.Brent Celek‘s eyes started darting around the room the moment the topic was broached. He looked to his left, to his right,  and finally behind him before finding what he needed. He stepped over to the piece of wood inside his locker, knocked twice, and then let out a “C’Mon, man!”

The question: Have you ever missed a game?

The answer following the initial unrest: No.

Well, not since the grade school anyway.

“The last time I missed a game was in the sixth grade. I dislocated my elbow,” said Celek. “I popped it back in myself. I scored a touchdown on the play…It was just reaction. I just hit it and it popped back in. And when I popped it back in it broke.”
