Great news. Shady McCoy has signed a 5-year extension and will be an Eagle through the end of the 2017 season. He got slightly more money than Arian Foster. Per agent Drew Rosenhaus, Shady is now the third highest paid RB in the NFL. The deal is 5 years, $45M and $20.765M of that is guaranteed.
This is a win-win situation. Shady gets his money. The Eagles get Shady. We can all hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
It is great that the positive vibes in the NovaCare Complex continue to flow. Shady hadn’t let any worries over his deal get to him, but you never know if that situation would have changed this summer or upcoming season. Now we don’t have to deal with it. He’s on Cloud Nine with a 3-mile smile. DeSean is also a happy camper. So is Evan Mathis. So is Cullen Jenkins. And new guys like DeMeco Ryans and Demetress Bell.
Adversity can help to forge a championship team, but you don’t want players upset with their contract situations. That just doesn’t work well for anyone.

PE.com had really good coverage of the event. Normally PCs like this are kinda boring, but this was well done. The PC itself wasn’t anything special, but the 1-on-1 interviews with Dave Spadaro were good. We got Big Red, Howie, Drew, and Shady. Sounds like the worst prison gang ever, huh?
Both Drew and Shady made a point of talking about how important Andy Reid was to the process. He relates well to the players and it sounded like he kept this thing on track so that the negotiators could work at a fair pace without undue pressure from Shady to hurry the hell up.
Andy talked about the draft back in 2009. He said the Eagles liked both Knowshon Moreno and Shady. We’d heard that before, but never from him. The Eagles, if you believe him, decided to focus more on Shady. They liked his pass catching ability better. Andy then got a question about lessening the workload and did reference trying to use 2 or 3 RBs this season. I hope that proves to be true. They won’t use the backups enough, but they must do a better job than in 2011.
Howie told a good story about seeing Shady back at Pitt during the 2008 preseason. The Eagles had a game vs the Steelers so Howie went over to catch a Pitt practice and check out the prospects. He said that they were doing a drill where the offense was backed up on the 1-yard line and trying to simply move the ball out of the endzone. Shady took a handoff and worked his magic. Next thing you know he’s running for a 99-yard TD. Howie said that certainly got his attention.
I think we finally have to let go of the past and admit that Drew Rosenhaus is no longer the enemy. The Eagles signed Mathis, DJax, and Shady to long term deals, all at reasonable costs. All 3 were Rosenhaus clients. It looks more and more like the TO thing was as much TO as it was Drew.
I still don’t like the way Drew aggressively goes after other agents clients, but he’s at least doing a good job of getting his guys deals.

Answering some questions from previous posts…
More on Havili at FB. Can he be a good RZ blocker? Is having a gifted receiver at FB really a big deal? Owen Schmitt was an effective lead blocker. That’s it. He wasn’t some bulldozer that cleared a huge path. The bar isn’t set all that high for Havili. This isn’t like trying to replace Moose Johnston or Lorenzo Neal. Schmitt didn’t floor defenders. He was as much a positional blocker as anything. Havili can do that. Get to the right spot. Find the right guy. Wall him off so that Shady can get by.
If Shady had been successful last year in large part due to a physical FB that could really pound, you can bet the Eagles would have kept that player or gone after someone similar.
Havili could also be a weapon in the RZ. Schmitt caught 34 career passes and had 2 TDs. He ran 9 times and never got in the endzone. Havili is faster and more athletic. If you fake to Shady and hit Havili in the flat, he’s got a chance to score. He doesn’t need to be wide open like Schmitt did.
Havili won’t get a lot of touches, RZ or otherwise, but he is a weapon when he does get them. Schmitt only had a handful of plays that went for 10 or more yards in his career. Good hands. Great effort. Just lacked the speed/athleticism to do much in space. The highlight plays where he jumped over the guy were nice, but those plays still didn’t cover much ground. We have a big play offense. If we have to dump the ball to the FB on a pass play, why not get it to someone who has RAC skills and a bit of speed? If we were a ball control offense, having an athletic FB might not be a big deal. The Eagles love chunk plays. Havili is more likely to deliver one than Schmitt.
I can’t stress this enough…Havili will not be the FB unless he can do an adequate job of blocking. The receiving skills are good, but worthless if Havili can’t deliver the key block on 3rd/1. The Eagles aren’t being dumb here. This isn’t some crazy gamble. This is a calculated risk. If Havili doesn’t block well at Lehigh and/or the preseason games, there will be change. (unless Iggy plays lights out)
Did Casey Matthews have a shoulder injury prior to the draft? Yes. He got hurt while doing the bench press at the Combine. I don’t think he had surgery, but wasn’t able to finish his Combine workout. He did work out at the Pro Day.
I’m not sure how much the shoulder injury affected his 2011 performance. Certainly it didn’t help.
Casey got a rude introduction into life in the NFL. He was used to playing in shootouts at Oregon. The NFL was much more physical. He was somewhat of a finesse defender who tried to get by on instincts. The Eagles thought they could teach him the style of play they wanted. That didn’t get done last summer.
I fully expect Casey to be much more physical this year. I expect him to engage blockers and shed their blocks. Jeff McLane said Casey is clearly bigger. Dave Spadaro said that. I confirmed with a source of my own that the two players who look significantly bigger are Phillip Hunt and Casey.
While he’s 250 now, Casey will lose some of that at Lehigh. TC wears guys down. They lose weight. Casey will be fine if he comes out in the 240-45 range. That’s enough bulk for him. And I’m told he really is stronger. Casey has an NFL body. Now we’ll find out if he has NFL game.
There continues to be a lot of interest in what the Eagles are going to do at FB. Right now the job is Stanley Havili’s to lose. Owen Schmitt just signed with the Raiders. The Eagles showed no public interest in bringing him back and haven’t talked to other veterans.
So what is going on?
The Eagles didn’t play the FB very much last year. He was on the field less than 15% of the offensive snaps. When Howard Mudd was with the Colts, they didn’t even keep a FB on the roster most of the time. Mudd’s blocking scheme affects the plays that can be run. His blocking scheme works really well with the stretch run. That is not a play where you need a FB. If your base run play doesn’t need a FB, then that is offically a de-prioritized position.
Should the Eagles just do away with the position? No. It is easy to say “just plug someone in there” since we’re not talking about many plays. The problem with that is that the times when you do need a FB are generally critical plays. On 3rd/1 you are more likely to run N-S than E-W. The stretch is an E-W play. The RB is going to be parallel to the LOS. That’s fine on 1st/10 or 2nd/7. It isn’t good on short yardage plays.
The problem in those situations is that defenders are focused on the run. They are penetrating and trying to blow the play up. If the RB goes sideways, he presents a good target for the defense and they have more chances to go hit him. Also, he’s not nearly as likely to break a tackle if his shoulders are facing the sideline and not the LOS.
Short yardage runs call for the I-formation. The RB sits behind the FB and runs up the field. The FB can take on any defender who does get penetration. The RB can run behind his pads and fight for yards since he is headed in the right direction.
Since we aren’t a predominant I-formation team anymore, we don’t need a sledgehammer at FB. We can get away with having a smaller, more athletic guy. That allows him to be better on pass plays. The key is that he must be at least an effective blocker. And that’s where Havili comes into play.
He is a good runner. He is a very good receiver. Why not use him at RB? Stiff hips/body. He turns his body as one whole thing. That might be okay if he was huge, but Havili isn’t. Take a look at this highlight video.
Not bad, huh?
I think you can see what a gifted receiver he is and why the Eagles are interested in having him as the FB. He can be a weapon (although a limited one) in that role. He is more athletic than most FBs and is a much better receiver than most FBs.
As I’ve mentioned all along…the question is whether he can block. He wasn’t consistently effective at USC, but he had a shoulder issue that hampered him. That has been fixed and he’s reportedly all good to go. Now he has to show toughness. He must select the right target and attack that player full speed. Shady scored a lot of TDs last year and a lot of them came while running behind Schmitt. All of Havili’s pass catching abilities are useless if he can’t block well enough.
The primary competition for him is UDFA Emil Igwenagu. He played all over the place at UMass. That showed versatility, but also that he had trouble finding a home. The one thing he always did well was catch the ball. Igwenagu is 6-1, 249. He would love to be a TE, but just doesn’t have the build for it. He’s also not a great athlete. I think he can make it in the NFL if he will embrace the role of FB and playing STs.
Igwenagu played in the Shrine Game and Senior Bowl. He looked like a good receiver at both places, but his blocking limitations were also obvious. Put him in an NFL setting and have him concentrate on FB and he might make big strides in that area.
For comparison’s sake, Leonard Weaver was an undersized TE from a small school that had to move to FB. He embraced the role and became very good. I don’t know that Iggy (tired of that full name) can do the same thing, but it shows that you can find FBs at other positions and at small schools. There is some hope.
I have no problem with the Eagles having Havili and Iggy battle it out for the FB spot. It would be more comfortable if there was a name we knew better in that battle, but FB is a dying position. There aren’t many good ones left in the NFL and there are very few coming out of college football. This is another product of the spread offense. Your best bet these days is to find someone with the right build and/or skill set and put them there. We’ve seen quite a few LBs make the conversion in recent years.
I don’t mean to leave out Jeremy Stewart. He’s the UDFA from Stanford. He’s only 218 pounds. He might be tough as nails, but that is super small. He needs to get up to 235 or so to be functional in the NFL.
I do not think the Eagles will go without a FB this year. I know that Chris Polk and Bryce Brown have some size. I know that Clay Harbor and Brent Celek have had some snaps in the backfield. I just think FB is still an important enough role to require someone who can have that be his primary job.
If Havili and Iggy really struggle, I think the team will go pick up some veteran off the street. I don’t see them going heavy at TE and/or RB and just overlooking the spot. I know some people think the Eagles will do this. Hopefully Havili has a good summer and this all becomes a moot discussion. Stanley was on the Practice Squad last year so he does have a feel for the offense and how the coaches want things done.
We have to wait for Lehigh to have any sense of where Havili is. We know he can run and catch. We’ll find out if he can block when he starts going up against DeMeco Ryans in some live drills.
Safety update…Drew Rosenhaus told a radio station in Miami that his client Yeremiah Bell will be choosing between the Jets, Chiefs, Titans, and Eagles in the next 24 hours.
Hmmm.
Can Drew be trusted here? Hell no. Bell has been on the market for a while. He hasn’t signed because no one has offered him anything significant. No one will of course, but often players are a bit delusional. Bell is going to get a minimum type deal. Maybe he gets a small bonus. I don’t even know how likely that is. Drew could be using the Eagles name in order to generate some interest or have a team pony up a couple of extra bucks. This is how the game is played.
Maybe Drew is telling the truth and the Eagles are in the running. It doesn’t mesh with what the team has said publicly or what I’ve been hearing.
I’d prefer to stick with the young guys, but adding a vet like Bell on the cheap wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. If we do it, you know Todd Bowles is vouching for him. In Todd We Trust…so far.

For ScoutsNotebook I wrote a piece yesterday called Football is a Drug. There has been a lot of talk recently about the game of football and the effects it has on people, good and bad. One angle I think not enough have covered is just how unique the sport is and why players are so consumed with it. Football is much more than a game.
Matthews is up to 250 pounds. He was 231 pounds at the Combine in February of 2011. He reportedly bulked up to 240 when the Eagles told him he was going to play MLB last year. The problem is that we don’t know if he was able to hold that weight or if he had the right kind of weight. Barry Rubin is a great strength coach, but last year Casey was working with non-Eagles employees due to the lockout.
Rubin knows how to put together a program to get the right kind of build on his players. He will know how to get Matthews bulked up in a way that the weight will stay on through the rigors of Training Camp. Rubin will add bulk, but mostly muscle. Matthews isn’t an overly fast guy so you don’t want him just packing on pounds for the heck of it.
I was happy that Matthews acknowledged his struggles from 2011. Some young players have this mindset that they didn’t do anything wrong and they can’t understand why they were benched or didn’t get a chance to play. Matthews admitted that getting benched was “humbling”. Heck yeah it was. And embarrassing. But that’s okay if you learn from it. Sounds like Casey is doing just that.
He worked hard in practice last year and also showed up on Special Teams. That helped him to impress the coaches. They saw a young player who didn’t shrink from adversity. He responded to it.
What happens in 2012? The fact that he’s up to 250 pounds makes me think they are probably keeping him at MLB. OLBs in the Wide-9 generally want to be about 235-240 pounds. Matthews says the has been told to learn all 3 spots, but I’m guessing MLB will be his primary spot. Matthews is happy that the Eagles traded for DeMeco Ryans. Casey is happy to have a leader for the LB corps. Casey can sit back and learn this year. I’m sure Ryans will be a great influence on him and the other LBs.
Casey is bigger and stronger this summer. Now he must show that he can be a better run defender. This means shedding blocks and being a more physical tackler. If he can do those things, it will be a sign that there is some hope for him as a future starter. If Casey continues to struggle in these areas, he may be restricted to role player and STer. The Eagles spent a 4th round pick on him so that’s not the worst thing in the world. Guys from the first 3 rounds are the ones you really need to become starters.
I’m pretty indifferent with Casey. I didn’t think he was as awful last year as some made him out to be. On the flip side of that, I wasn’t a huge fan of his going into last year’s draft. I thought the Eagles liked him so I wrote about him a lot, but guys from Oregon make me nervous. They play a creative scheme and always seem to score 50 points. Those defenders have a lot to learn when they get to the NFL, as we saw with Casey last year. Now that he’s an Eagle I certainly want him to succeed.
What is the one thing that could help put him over the top? Must hit “Post” button now to avoid using cheesey dinner joke…
Lots of links today. Some hack wrote about the WR corps for PE.com. It really is going to be interesting to see which of the guys at the bottom of the WR group step up and push for roster spots and/or playing time.
It is possible that none of them will step up and the Eagles will have to look around the league. During the preseason the Eagles have scouts watching every game and grading players. Depending on how things go from May through early August, WR could be a position that is focused on.
The top 3 spots are set. If Cooper and McNutt are at least solid, that gives us 5. The 6th spot is the one that is wide freaking open.
* * * * *
Speaking of hacks, Jimmy Bama has a good post on LeSean McCoy’s snaps. That number is too high. The Eagles need to mix in more of the backup RBs. One thing did occur to me…rather than focusing on “a backup” it could be that Andy Reid is wanting to do more of a RB by committee approach. Shady still will get 85 to 90 of the touches, but Dion Lewis/Bryce Brown/Chris Polk would get mixed in situationally. Last year it was Shady, Ronnie, and Dion for a play or two. Since we don’t have a clear #2 runner, spread the snaps more evenly among the backups.
Greg Cosell is writing some draft reviews. He covered the Eagles and Bengals in his latest installment. Remember that Greg isn’t a normal draftnik/scout/analyst. He studies tape and writes reviews purely based on that. He’s not into 40 times or character issues or stuff like that.
* * * * *
A couple of former Eagles got elected to the College Football Hall of Fame. LB Mark Simoneau was never a fan favorite in Philly, but he was a great college player. He was a ton of fun to watch at Kansas State. He had 52 career TFLs and made a lot of plays.
Ty Detmer is also in. I’m not sure many of you can understand how important he was as a college player. Detmer set all kinds of records at BYU, but he wasn’t playing in the spread offense that we see today. He was throwing the ball all over the field. He led the Cougars to a huge upset over Miami. Little BYU beating the mighty Canes? That was a shocker. We see kids today throwing for 450 yards and 5 TDs almost every week. It used to mean something back in Detmer’s day. There were other BYU QBs who put up big numbers, but Detmer’s were the biggest.
I also don’t think you can fully appreciate him as an Eagle unless you lived through the early 90s. The Eagles QB play ranged from erratic to awful after the 1990 season. Cunningham had some great moments in 1992, 93, and 94, but at other times was putrid. The backups of 1991 and then 1993 were painful to watch. Bubby Brister scarred my soul. And he wasn’t close to being the worst.
Rodney Peete took over in 1995 and led the Eagles to the playoffs. He did that with toughness and leadership. He wasn’t a pretty passer.
Rodney started off in 1996 and did look much better. Jon Gruden had made good progress with him. I can still remember a simple pass play from the 1996 season opener vs WAS. Rodney faked a handoff and then wheeled around and hit Chris T. Jones on a slant. I’d never seen the play before, but it was executed so well that I was blown away. The 1995 Eagles moved the ball on screen passes, runs, and luck. Suddenly the 1996 bunch looked like a real NFL offense. Then Peete tore up his knee in a MNF game vs Dallas. Enter Ty Detmer.
Ty led the Eagles on a comeback and got the team near the Red Zone, only trailing by 4. Unfortunately he had taken a brutal hit on the final drive and suffered a concussion. Detmer would not leave the field. The problem is that he was in the huddle calling out BYU plays to his Eagles teammates. As you would imagine, the drive did not end well.
Detmer played well in subsequent starts. He threw for 329 yards vs the Panthers and broke a string of 37 straight games without a 300-yard passing performance. Can you imagine that? Detmer was 7-4 as a starter. The Eagles were 4th in the NFL in passing yards, thanks in part to Detmer and Jones and Irving Fryar. The highlight was a 31-21 win in Dallas when Fryar got the best of Deion Sanders (9-120-1).
Detmer started half of 1997, but things weren’t the same. Jones got hurt early and Detmer couldn’t find the magic of the previous year. He did play some in CLE, but was never again a good starter. It seems silly in retrospect, but there was a period during the good run of 1996 that I thought maybe we’d found our QB. Detmer wasn’t going to be a franchise savior type, but he was a good passer and that is something the Eagles had lacked for a while. Ty, thanks for the 11 game stretch. That was a lot of fun.
Art Monk is going into the HOF as well. He played with the Eagles in 1995, but he’s not an Eagle. He’s a Redskin.
John Wooten is going in as well. He was a OG in college/NFL, but served as a personnel executive in Philly. He didn’t make a ton of great decisions, but he was part of the family for a few years so we congratulate him on getting in.
Andy Reid said on Monday that the starting Safeties for now are Nate Allen (FS) and Kurt Coleman (SS). The team has no plans to bring in a veteran.
Good, I say.
Kurt Coleman was a mess early on last year. He was tentative and sloppy. He struggled vs the run and pass. He took over when Jarrad Page was benched and we saw a different Kurt Coleman. He wasn’t a great player by any stretch, but did some good things and was solid overall.
In the 10 starts after the benching, Kurt had 4 INTs and a FF. He showed the ability to play back in coverage or up in the box. The Eagles held the Giants to 29 yards rushing in the November game and Coleman played in the box a lot that night. Kurt put a big hit on Rob Gronkowski in the NE game and that took Gronk out of the game for a while. Kurt almost picked off a pass to Plaxico Burress in the endzone in the Jets game, but Plax was able to knock it away. Kurt was an effective blitzer when given the chance. He didn’t have any sacks, but he got pressure and hurried several throws.
So what are/were the issues? Kurt lacks ideal size and speed. That’s not a good combination. If he was bigger, maybe he makes the INT on the pass to Plax. As a 5-10 SS with so-so leaping ability, Kurt has to wait for the ball to come to him.
There was a pass play to the TE in the SEA game where you could see the speed issue. The TE ran a crossing route. He got a step on Kurt early on and was able to stay open. Kurt couldn’t make up the ground. That led to an easy pitch and catch.
The biggest mistakes Kurt made during the year involved mental mistakes. He bought on a pump fake in the blowout win over Dallas and let a WR run right by him and get wide open for a long TD. Didn’t affect the game, but you can’t make those mistakes.
Kurt missed a tackle in the first Giants game and that began the Victor Cruz year of glory. I say it was a mental mistake because Kurt looked completely indecisive on what to do. Go for the big hit? Make the wrap up tackle? Go high or low? Kurt didn’t commit to any choice and looked like a fool as he was brushed aside by Cruz on the way to the endzone.
Kurt missed a tackle in the Arizona game that gave them the go-ahead TD. Once again he had a simple play in front of him and he just whiffed. This time Kurt was decisive, but he was sloppy and lunged rather than staying under control and making the safe, sure play.
I think Kurt can overcome these mistakes with coaching and practice. He doesn’t lack the ability to tackle. He had some games where he tackled very well. This isn’t like Jarrad Page. You put on the BUF game and he was machine-like with his missed tackles. Kurt had a handful of costly mistakes, but they were spread over months rather than in one game.
The way Kurt can overcome his limitations is to be prepared to the point that he’s always a step ahead mentally. He can’t react. He can’t guess. He needs to know. Kurt played like this at Ohio State. He’s done it for parts of his short career.
I think Kurt gained a lot of invaluable experience last year. Some was good, some bad. If he’s able to learn from it and build off of it, I think he can be a solid starting SS.
Part of the key for Kurt is getting lots of reps this spring/summer and having a chance to show the coaches what he can do and that he has made progress. Adding a veteran to the mix would have made this a really complicated situation.
While the Eagles want Kurt to get his chance, they also want Jaiquawn Jarrett to have a chance to show what he can do. Jarrett was a 2nd round pick because the team likes him a lot. They think he can be a good starter. Jarrett was very up and down as a rookie. He didn’t earn the right to be at the top of the depth chart.
If the Eagles tried to have Yeremiah Bell (or any vet) battle with Kurt and JaiJar for the job, I don’t know how effective that would have been. There aren’t equal reps in a camp situation. Someone in the situation would have lost practice reps. With less reps, young players will sometimes try to make big plays more than they should and that’s not good. Going for home runs will lead to more strikeouts, to steal a baseball analogy.
I think the smart play here is to give May and June to Kurt and JaiJar. Let them have all the reps in the mini-camps and passing camps. Neither guy got the benefit of offseason work last year and it showed. Let’s see how they do and what the coaches think. If the players are struggling in any way, you can then add a veteran Safety prior to Lehigh. There won’t be great choices, but the guys on the market now aren’t exactly in the Reed-Polamalu-Dawkins class.
If you believe in your young players, give them a chance to show what they can do. I believe in Kurt Coleman. I’m not so sure what to make of Jaiquawn Jarrett. The Eagles liked him more than I did when they picked him in the 2nd round.
One thing I have to make clear. Sticking with the same guys isn’t an endorsement that the Safety play of 2011 is acceptable. The expectation is that the players will get better. The Safety play last year was far too erratic. Kurt had his mistakes. Nate was very good at times, but also had some struggles. He was dreadful vs NE. Jarrad Page was…well let’s just say that he never met a missed tackle he didn’t like. Jarrett was a rookie that showed promise at times and struggled at others.
Allen should be better now that he is 100 percent healthy. Coleman should be better with another year of experience under his belt. Jarrett should get better now that he has an idea of what the hell is going on.
Colt Anderson is on the mend, but I think of him as strictly a STer for now.
Tom Nelson took his spot after the injury. He showed some S postential in Cincy.
Rookie Phillip Thomas was a very good FS at Syracuse and could make for a good backup to Nate. Thomas certainly has the physical skills to be an NFL player. He can cover, catch, hit, and tackle.
Look at the young guys for now. Add the veteran later, if needed.

Pauly D wrote a column on the Safety position. He seems to be more of the “let’s go add a veteran” mindset. I get where he’s coming from. I respect that opinion. I just prefer to stick with the young guys.
Domo has a few stats in his column about catches/yards/TDs given up by Eagles Safeties. I’d like to look into that stuff this summer if I get a chance. It can be tricky as to who is really at fault on some plays. We’ll see how time goes.
8.1 - The percentage of plays in which the Eagles' defense missed a tackle, according to Football Outsiders. That ranked second-to-last, behind only the Bucs (9.0 percent). No other team had a mark higher than 6.5 percent. For all the time Juan Castillo spent talking about fundamentals at practice, the results did not show during the games. Brian Rolle […]

Any hope that Eagles left tackle Jason Peters would return this season has almost certainly disappeared.

Peters was maneuvering in his kitchen when the device broke, and he fell on his face and re-injured the Achilles. […]
The good news for Griffin is the success Michael Vick has had in the division using his feet to win games. As an Eagle, Vick is 18-2 as a starter against division opponents and has rushed 75 times for 425 yards, with six touchdowns and 29 first downs. The bad news for RG3 is he has to play against the Eagles wide-nine defense, and Vick of course did not. Las […]
