Madden 11 Eagles Franchise

[GoEagles614]

I do not own the game yet, but I am going to be posting stories and stuff about my franchise. When the game comes out it will all be fiction and it will stop going by what happens in real life.

I will be playing on All-Madden. And I will update whenever I play.

But until then I will bring everyone up to date in real life, and then it will set itself up in the franchise.

"We will be throwing multiple looks at opposing offenses. Who says you can either be 4-3 or 3-4? We will be running every scheme you could think of. Using a lot of jokers, rotating our front 7 as much as possible." - Sean McDermitt Eagles Def. Coordinator

2010 Philadelphia Eagles OTA's:

Recently acquired CB Marlin Jackson has torn his ACL, will be moved to IR.

Michael Vick has been cleared, the Birthday shooter has been identified. The victim of the shooting has not been cooperative, therefore there will be no charges pressed on the shooter.

Philadelphia Eagles Off-Season:

Lost:
Brian Westbrook
Donovan McNabb
Sheldon Brown
Shawn Andrews
Kevin Curtis
Will Witherspoon

Added:
Daryll Tapp
Mike Bell
Ernie Sims
Brandon Graham
Nate Allen

"We strive to get younger this off-season, planning our success for the future, rather than right now." - Coach Andy Reid


Training Camp Key Position Battles:
4th WR Hank Baskett vs. Riley Cooper
Hank Baskett is more known for his special teams play, and his 6'4 frame. He has not been very productive at WR on the field, but can go up and get it against the smaller CB.

Riley Cooper Florida WR standout is faster than Hank Baskett and seems to be more of a possession WR. But he is young, and may not transfer to the NFL well.

RCB Ellis Hobbs vs. Juselio Hanson
Ellis Hobbs may already have the RCB experience he needs to lock up the spot. Playing in a Superbowl on the opposite side of Asante Samuel in New England. Last year Hobbs was injured for a few games, and also had a very lack luster year as the Nickel/Dime CB.

Hanson has always seemed to fit anywhere the Eagles have moved him to. Especially the Nickel CB spot. Which may be his home from now on. When Sheldon Brown went down last year, Hanson was very solid against the #2 WR's he faced.

KR Quintin Demps vs Ellis Hobbs vs Jeremy Maclin
Coming out of Missouri it seemed that Rookie Jeremy Maclin would have locked up the KR spot for sure. But a couple fumbles, and very average returns Maclin was benched on kickoffs.

Ellis Hobbs who is pretty quick had a few looks at KR last year and seemed to do well running north and south, averaging 24.1 yards per kick return.

Demps seems like he will be the kick returner when the season starts. In 2008 he was a Top 5 KR when it comes to yards, averaging 25.8 yards. Hobbs and Demps may be the closest battle, but I wouldn't sleep on Maclin.

I get what you mean man, I'm not startin' anything. I just feel like there isn't a decent RCB on the roster. Hobbs could be good, but his neck injury is sure to be of concern. Lindley COULD (if he lights it up) start after the bye week.

[GoEagles614]

I havent seen much of Lindley, OTAs just ended and camp hasn't started. I'm just going off of what I know. Hanson can play, I've seen it. As well as Hobbs. I may change it after I see some Lindley action.

Hobbs never won a SB with the Patriots. He did play in the 07 one, though. Putting him man-to-man with Burress is one reason why they lost
