Jase Patrizio , one of my best friends and an Eagles fanatic, was kind enough to preview the Eagles for me.
Health is such a commodity in the NFL today. If your playmakers can’t avoid injury it obviously changes the shape of your team’s season. Last year for the Philadephia Eagles there were injuries to many key players. Brian Dawkins (11 games), Lito Sheppard (10 games), L.J. Smith (10 games) and the oft-injured Donovan McNabb missed 3 games due to an ankle injury in Miami. However this... Read Full Story
Opening Drive Cause For Concern?: The Steelers took the field on the opening drive, and ran the ball down the Eagles throats. Actually runs to the outside seemed to really hurt the Eagles the most. With two undersized defensive ends, I guess it makes sense to run the ball to the edges. Seeing that worried me some, and I wonder if this will be a problem all season.
This might sound crazy, but maybe with Victor Abiamiri out, the Eagles should consider starting Darren Howard or maybe even... Read Full Story
It looks like the Lito Sheppard situation just took a turn for the worst. He has dropped his old agent, and hired mega agent Drew Rosenhaus .
Eagles fans will always remember Rosenhaus as the slime ball agent who did whatever it took to get TO out of Philadelphia . Players love Rosenhaus, and NFL teams have nightmares about dealing with him. He uses every trick in the book to get what he wants for his clients, even if that means holding his players out, or having them create a... Read Full Story

While the Eagles defense has been holding their own in Lito’s absence, I’m sure Jim Johnson and the rest of the crew will be happy to see Lito Sheppard return to the lineup on Sunday against the Bears.
“Lito’s a playmaker. Hopefully we get him in there enough times where we’ll see how he’s going to play,” Johnson said Thursday. “Right now I see him playing quite a bit. I don’t know what kind of shape he’s in. We’ve got to see... Read Full Story

T.O. Gets His Revenge: Eagles vs T.O. round 2 was a huge victory for WR Terrell Owens. T.O. stuck it to the Eagles by catching 10 passes for 174 yards, including a 45 yard touch down. He was a difference maker, and the Eagles secondary was pathetic trying to stop him. Last year the Eagles shut down Owens in his return to the Linc, but this time T.O. gets his. As much as it pains me to say it, T.O. was the player of the game. Defense?: Did the defense even show up? Dallas scored 38 points... Read Full Story
All of the media was waiting at Lehigh University to see if Brian Westbrook and Lito Sheppard (both want new contracts) would show up to training camp. Many have speculated that there could have been a hold out with one of these guys, but both players showed up and were on time .
Surprisingly, the one player who did not show up was Pro Bowl Right Guard Shawn Andrews . Andrews contacted the Eagles to let them know he would be missing the start of training camp due to “personal reasons... Read Full Story
Its time to trade Lito Sheppard. With Drew Rosenhaus as his agent it is a must that the Philadelphia Eagles get rid of him now. Rosenhaus actually said Lito should start ahead of Sheldon Brown. Now I'm not saying that is what should happen, but you never split a team, teammates in front of the media. Get rid of Lito, Eagles management...........the kid is better than a nickel receiver Good luck to Sarah Palin..................she'll need it....... Rudy Guiliani was rather negative in his...

While Lito Sheppard will be a starting corner this year, it looks like he won’t get a roster bonus :
If he can manage to remain healthy for the next 3 weeks, Lito Sheppard will open the season as the Jets’ starting right corner. Sheppard figures to get picked on a lot this season since the Jets’ left corner, Darrelle Revis, is one of the best cover men in the league. Interestingly, Sheppard will earn the same amount of money from the Jets this season that he was scheduled to receive from... Read Full Story
Jets cornerback Lito Sheppard (quad) was limited in practice on Thursday, according to CBS Sports. Sheppard has missed the Jets’ past two games, but is said to be improving. It sounds about 50/50 as to whether or not he will be active against the Dolphins on Monday.
