The Eagles have an interesting decision to make when it comes to Bryce Brown. Despite a concerning collegiate path, they selected him in the seventh round because of his undeniable talent. His ability to tote the ball has shone through, and his mind appears to be in the right place.
Still, the pass-protection issue lingers. Brown was not used as a blocker at Tennessee or Kansas State, and remains raw in that area.
“I’m still a work in progress because I haven’t done it before,” said Brown. “I’m starting to realize that the more you are able to recognize the blitzes before they come, it’s going to help you a whole lot in picking things up.”
Nnamdi Asomugha, Antonio Dixon and Joselio Hanson all started practice Thursday afternoon at the Novacare Complex, but none of them finished.
Back in 2009, Leonard Weaver did it all.
He was a lead blocker, he picked up the blitz, he ran the ball (70 times for 323 yards, 4.6 yards per carry), and he caught the ball (15 catches for 140 yards).
And in the process, he made the Pro Bowl.
So when we talk about the fullback position in the Eagles’ offense, it’s important to remember that personnel almost always determines who’s on the field.
Vick says Foles has what it takes to be a great quarterback in the NFL. Plus, Trent Cole weighs in on the overflow of talent along the defensive front, and talks about just how many sacks this unit is capable of.

Tra Thomas kept it together for about 57 seconds.
Officially retiring as an Eagle at the Novacare Complex today, he watched a short highlight video of his time with the Birds before stepping to the podium.
He thanked owner Jeffrey Lurie, talked about transitioning from a defensive end to an offensive tackle in college and remembered when the Eagles drafted him in 1998.
But then Thomas got to his coach, Andy Reid.
Andy Reid said that Nnamdi Asomugha, coming off a worse-than-it-looked midair collision with Nate Allen, will return to practice Thursday afternoon. Asomugha was suffering from whiplash-like sypmptoms and a busted lip, but did not sustain a concussion.
Casey Matthews (high ankle sprain), Riley Cooper (collarbone) and Jason Babin (calf strain) will not suit up.

Now it’s my turn. I’ve got some changes from last week. Here goes nothing.
So how are the Eagles looking coming out of training camp? What will they hang there hat on, and where will they be exposed? After three weeks of watching the 2012 Eagles, here is a quick ranking of the positions, from strongest to weakest:
