When Chip Kelly introduced James Casey back in March, he described the tight end as “a new toy” who could line up in various spots in his offense.
He didn’t use the same terminology when the Eagles signed outside linebacker Connor Barwin, but really, that’s what Kelly was giving Billy Davis on the defensive side of the ball.
Much of the talk around Barwin has been about how his sack total dropped from 11.5 in 2011 to just 3.0 in 2012. But the truth is Barwin’s versatility is what the Eagles found most attractive when they brought him on board. Moving from a Wide-9 4-3 to a 3-4, they needed an outside linebacker equipped to handle a number of different responsibilities. And that’s what they got in Barwin.
Already this preseason, the 26-year-old is being used in a variety of ways. And against Jacksonville, he showed some play-making chops with an interception and a sack in the first half.

Michael Vick was the quarterback when Jeremy Maclin went to the ground during 7-on-7’s.
“I saw it out of the corner of my eye,” said Vick following Saturday’s practice. “I saw him fall. And usually when a guy falls like that, it’s something to be worried about. But hopefully everything will work out.”
The official word from the Eagles is that Maclin has a right knee injury and is still being evaluated. They are awaiting results of an MRI.

No Lombardi trophies as of yet, but the salary cap dominance continues.
According to Pro Football Talk, the Eagles have the most cap space in the NFL with a cool $21.4 million. They are followed by the Jaguars ($20.7), Chiefs ($14.5), Titans ($14.1) and Bills ($13.6). Here is the full list.
The Eagles have a couple weeks before they have to trim their roster down to 53 players.
As we’ve discussed at length here on Birds 24/7, when that deadline arrives, Andy Reid and company will have difficult decisions to make on their defensive line.
One player whose role could go a long way in determining who stays and who goes is Cullen Jenkins.
