Howie Roseman was the NFL Executive of the Year in 2017. He did a magnificent job in putting together a championship roster. The whole world is aware of what a great job he did.

Sustaining greatness is incredibly hard. The Eagles were a great team in 2017. I honestly believe this team has a chance to sustain that because they chemistry in the organization is so strong - on and off the field.

Winning the Super Bowl brought the Eagles a lot of praise. And deservedly so. One group that is somewhat overlooked for the Eagles is the assistant coaches.

It is easy to focus on the end result of the 2017 campaign, with the Eagles winning the first Super Bowl in franchise history. That was indeed a magical moment, but you don't want to forget the overall season.

The Organized Team Activities (OTAs) portion of the offseason is over. Players don't wear pads, and there isn't any contact, so this is worlds away from real football. Still, there are some things you can take away from the 10 practice sessions.

There is a show on Amazon Prime right now called All or Nothing and it provides a behind-the-scenes look at the 2017 season of the Dallas Cowboys. If you're a football fan and like to see what goes on behind closed doors, it makes for great viewing. One scene really blew me away.

As crazy as it might sound, the defense can be even better this year. There were a lot of things going on last year.

The Eagles had probably the biggest roster in team history last year. The 2018 Eagles might be even bigger.

Corey Clement wasn't one of the 253 players selected last year. He closed out the season with an amazing performance in the Super Bowl that had him looking more like a first-round prospect than an undrafted player.

The NFL Draft will start on Thursday night.

Eagles players report to the NovaCare Complex on Monday for the start of the offseason conditioning program. Believe it or not, this is where the chase for another Super Bowl begins. We tend to think of minicamps, Training Camp, or maybe the preseason, but this is the real start.

The NFL Draft is fewer than three weeks away. The Eagles are busy finalizing plans. They are discussing various scenarios. When you pick 32nd, you have to react to what happens before your pick comes up.

What are the odds? There were 336 players selected during the 1984 NFL Draft. Just five were kickers, and the Eagles chose two of them. Manny Matsakis out of Capital (Ohio) in the eighth round and Youngstown State’s Paul McFadden in the 12th. 

Nine years as an NFL analyst on ESPN didn’t suppress former Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Herm Edwards’ desire to become a head coach again. He was named the head coach at Arizona State University last December.

Mike Patterson was on a roll. Despite not playing football – or even having a real interest in the game – until his freshman year in high school, he developed into one of the nation’s best defensive tackles and helped USC win back-to-back National Championships in 2003 and 2004. 

On November 28, 1964, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Al Nelson in the third round of the 1965 NFL Draft. Later that afternoon, he was chosen by the Buffalo Bills in the ninth round of the AFL Draft. Nelson had his mind made up where he would go by dinner.

Twenty-two of the 334 players selected in the 1978 NFL Draft were defensive tackles. Two – Dennis Harrison and Greg Marshall – were chosen by Philadelphia. One who wasn’t drafted, Ken Clarke, signed as a free agent with the Eagles and arguably turned out to have the most successful gridiron career
