The Eagles won the Super Bowl for a lot of reasons. It helped that the trinity of Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, and Mekhi Becton was one of the most formidable offensive interiors in the NFL. Having strong guard and center play has been a hallmark of the Eagles for … over a decade at this point. With Becton now on the Los Angele Chargers, the Eagles will have an open competition for his right guard spot. Tyler Steen and the newly added Kenyon Green will push for snaps, but it’s possible the Eagles draft another player to add to this...

This clip is making the rounds on social media. It is actually weeks old, and comes from the Todd McShay podcast episode where Howie Roseman made the sex quip about winning his second Super Bowl. I guess nobody, us included, actually watched the entire podcast, because there was a separate topic about team building in which Howie said this:

Philadelphia Eagles news and links for 4/2/25.

Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie fires back at Tush Push detractors - NBCSP
“You know what?” Lurie said. “I remember reading about the forward pass and they said it really was an odd play that is no part of American football. It was controversial when the forward pass came out. I think aestheticism is very subjective. I’ve never judged whether a play looks, OK. Does a screen pass look better than an in-route or an out-route? I don’t know. To me, it’s not a very relevant...

The Eagles have so far been very successful with their salary cap management strategy.

The Philadelphia Eagles are fresh off a Super Bowl victory and four straight playoff appearances. Nick Sirianni defied early expectations and emerged as one of the best coaches in the NFL, while Howie Roseman has continued to defy the odds with aggressive salary cap management and shrewd drafting. After looking more closely at the Eagles spending on offense and defense, I must say I’m impressed.

I also came away with some long-term concerns. The way Roseman and the Eagles structure contracts puts a tremendous strain on...

Furthermore, ESPN’s Kevin Seifert reported that:

“the injury rate on the new kickoff was the same as on other plays from scrimmage. Historically the injury rates on kickoffs has been 2-4 times that of all other plays. Concussion rate on kickoffs dropped 43%, per NFL’s Jeff Miller”

Right, so let’s say, for the sake of the exercise, that the injury rate on all NFL plays, kickoff included, is 3%. Let’s just make that our arbitrary number. And we’ll say that one season you have 1,000 kickoff returns, now incentivized, which increases to 1,250. Under the 2024 rules, 3%...

At the NFL owners meetings, Jerry Jones said that Micah Parsons’ agent is a non-factor in contract negotiations. He told reporters he doesn’t even know who David Mulugheta is, which is hard to believe since Mulugheta is one of the sport’s top agents. That didn’t sit well with Parsons, who tweeted this:

Facts!! David is the best and I will not be doing any deal without @DavidMulugheta involved! Like anyone with good sense I hired experts for a reason. There is no one I trust more when it comes to negotiating contracts than David! There will be no backdoors...

I went down to the home opener for a temperature check on the Torpedo Bats, Tush Push ban, new bullpens, and the Phils in general. The crowd did not disappoint. You can say a lot of things about Philly fans, but the one thing you can’t say is they’re not honest. WARNING: There’s a heavy dose of hoagie mouth in this one so if you’re turned on by that sort of thing grab a towel before you hit play:

I love the Torpedo Bats, hate the (attempted) Tush Push ban, and despise the new bullpen setup. We’ll see how it...

With the 4th overall pick in the 2025 Bleeding Green Nation community mock draft, New England Patriots GM ReginaldHtower selects ...

Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Hello to my fellow BGN members! I am ReginaldHtower, the artist formerly known on here as ItownBallers22. I have loved being involved in the Community Mock Draft in the past, and actually nailed my 2021 and 2022 picks (Pat Surtain II to the Broncos, Kaiir Elam to the Bills). With the disaster of actually sending Elam to the Bills, I thought I should use my powers for good instead of hurting more NFL teams....

With the 3rd overall pick in the 2025 Bleeding Green Nation community mock draft, New York Giants GM The Player Formerly Known as Mousecop selects ...

Cam Ward, QB, Miami

I considered picking Ashton Jeanty, because picking a top-5 RB worked out so well for the Giants last time.

In actuality, this is an interesting position as the fake Giants GM, because the real Giants GM has a far different motivation. It doesn’t take a genius to know that none of none of the 36-year old Russell Wilson, interception-prone journeyman Jameis Winston, or 2023 Bud Light Celebration of the...

The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will visit The White House on April 28th and Jeffrey Lurie answered some questions about that on Tuesday:

Q: The decision to go to the White House to celebrate the Super Bowl, can you take us behind the thinking of that decision? And then you guys didn’t go in 2017 the first time you won the Super Bowl, maybe any differences as to why you’re going? (ESP)

*JEFFREY LURIE: We just felt this is a time honored tradition being invited by the White House. So there was no reticence whatsoever. To...

The Green Bay Packers issued a proposal to the NFL not too long ago to ban the “tush push,” the variation on the old quarterback sneak play where an offensive lineman pushes a team’s quarterback forward.

While a number of teams have used the play, the Philadelphia Eagles have routinely run it in third and fourth-and-short situations over the last couple of years, and it helped them win last season’s Super Bowl championship.

One argument in favor of banning the play is that it is supposedly a dangerous play that could directly lead to serious injuries.

The vote to perhaps...

The Tush Push ban has been tabled until May. Why? Because the NFL owners didn’t have the votes and the ones against it will have to do some wheeling and dealing behind the scenes to get this thing banned:

NFL owners didn’t have the 24 votes needed to ban the tush-push. Instead of holding a vote and revealing they were short, they decided to table it for the future. https://t.co/q3LVPQPTiy

Listen I think the NFL owners would be smart to ban the Tush Push. It’s leveling the playing field. If...
