Eagles Name Roseman New General Manager

The Eagles on Friday named Howie Roseman the team's general manager, filling the void created when Tom Heckert left to join Cleveland after the Eagles' 2009 season ended.

Now in his 11th year in Philadelphia, Roseman spent the last two seasons as the team's vice president of player personnel. As the team's general manager, he will maintain a very similar role, working closely with head coach Andy Reid in all aspects of the player personnel department. He will manage the college and pro scouting staffs, organize draft meetings and the draft board, scout the top collegiate players around the country and assist in formulating the team's roster throughout the year.

The 34-year-old Roseman originally joined the Eagles in 2000 as salary cap/staff counsel. He was elevated to director of football administration in 2003 and to vice president of football administration in 2006. In this role, Roseman worked in the personnel department evaluating players around the NFL and for the draft. He also represented the team to the NFL on contract, salary cap, and player personnel matters.

Reid Voted Third-Best Coach Of The Decade

As part of their decade retrospective on the National Football League in the 2000s, USA Today named Patriots' head coach Bill Belichick their coach of the decade. While Belichick received all 10 first-place votes, Eagles' head coach Andy Reid finished tied for third in the voting with former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher.

From 2000 to 2009, Reid won 103 regular season games (a .648 winning percentage) to go along with his 10 playoff victories.

Here's what USA Today had to say about Reid's decade at the helm of the Eagles:

"After taking over a 3-13 team in 1999, Reid has turned the Eagles into one of the NFL's elite teams. Reid has been named NFL coach of the year twice, and compiled the best win total (108), winning percentage (.617), and playoff victory total (10) in Eagles history. He has won five division titles, gotten his team to the NFC championship game five times and the Super Bowl once. Among coaches with 100 games under their belt, Reid's winning percentage is second among active coaches, behind Belichick."

Former Indianapolis Colts' head coach Tony Dungy finished in second place, while Tennessee Titans' head coach Jeff Fisher came in fifth.

McNabb is going to the Pro Bowl

With the New Orleans Saints headed to the Super Bowl, quarterback Drew Brees will not be available to play in the Pro Bowl. As the first alternate, Donovan McNabb is next in line to be headed down to Miami for the all-star game next Sunday joining Minnesota's Brett Favre and Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers (how ironic is that pairing). McNabb said on his Yardbarker blog earlier late last week that he's "excited about playing," but he would "gladly trade places" with Brees. "I enjoyed the game in Hawaii each time I was fortunate to go," McNabb wrote. "We have a nice representation of Eagles there and I look forward to being with my Philadelphia teammates. I like the camaraderie with many guys from around the league and the many events that the NFL puts on. Personally, I'd like to see how having the game a week before the Super Bowl and in the same city affects the game. I was a fan of the way it used to be." When the announcement is made official, this will be McNabb's sixth trip to the Pro Bowl. He represented the NFC for five straight years from 2000-04. McNabb will be the eighth Eagle to head to Miami, which is the largest contingent since the 2004 season (10). Also headed to Miami are: wide receiver/returner DeSean Jackson, fullback Leonard Weaver, left tackle Jason Peters, defensive end Trent Cole, cornerback Asante Samuel, kicker David Akers and long snapper Jon Dorenbos. McNabb completed over 60 percent of his passes this year for 3,553 yards, 22 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 14 games. He finished the year with a 92.9 QB rating. The title of McNabb's blog entry was "Unfinished Business" and he concluded by writing that while there is talk in Philadelphia about his future he would like to "finish the job" of winning a Super Bowl title.

The eagles 2010 schedule which looks hard but i hope Donovan pulls threw and goes 16-0. which i think will happen with Jackson, McClain, Macoy, weaver, And celek, and maybe Westbrook if he is healthy and not hurt.they are going to have a great year with that schedule. that's that for this week.

Jon Dorenbos added to the probowl

Long snapper Jon Dorenbos is the seventh Eagle to be named to the NFC's Pro Bowl team, the Eagles announced on Wednesday. Dorenbos goes in as an "extra" player or "need" player given the team does not have a long snapper on the Pro Bowl roster.

Dorenbos, who has been in the NFL for seven seasons, makes his first Pro Bowl team. Acquired by the Eagles in 2006 as an unrestricted free agent after an injury to Mike Bartrum, Dorenbos have proven to be outstanding not only on his snaps to punter Sav Rocca and Rocca as a holder for kicker David Akers, but also in his coverage down the field on punts.

Maclin's Season-Ending Numbers increase

January 14, 2010 Last Updated: 1/14/10 5:42 PM ET Comments (0)
Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin added another reception to his 2009 regular season total and didn't have to do a thing. The NFL simply corrected a mistake.
The NFL had credited DeSean Jackson with an 11-yard reception in the fourth quarter of the Week 17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. It turned out that Maclin had made the catch.
Incorporating the updated numbers, Maclin finished his rookie season with 56 catches for 773 yards and four touchdowns. Jackson, meanwhile, had 62 receptions for 1,156 yards and nine receiving touchdowns.
Jackson shouldn't be too upset about the adjustment. He was named to The Associated Press' All-Pro team on Thursday. He was the second-team kick returner. Earlier in the week, Jackson was named the All-Pro punt returner by The Sporting News. The Associated Press team does not differentiate between kick and punt returner on its team. Jackson just missed out on being named to the AP All-Pro team as a receiver. According to NFL.com, Jackson finished fifth in the voting with six votes. Jason Peters also came up just short on the offensive tackle ballot with a fifth-place tally.

The Season Is Over

It has been still a good year for our Philadelphia Eagles. I would like to thank all the fans for supporting the eagles. Through good and bad times. I think that next season they need to give Michel Vick more chances because against the cowboys i think he proved himself. Go to NFL.com and check out highlights of the past season until the next one begins. The eagles need to rest be the best next year. eagles for life.

Ruff Two Weeks

huh it has been a ruff week for our Philadelphia Eagles. there has been a lot of disappointments. But don't let your hopes down because there is always next year that we can go 16-0.We will win the Superbowl next year and all the fresh players like macoy, McClain, and mostly Deasan Jackson will do better. And the case for Mcnabb i think he should stay he is a good player just little mistakes.

Go eagles

Go to the national football league and pick your fantisies. pick Donoven Mcnabb and Deshan Jackson.
