Maxwell at Fevaland today, was asked about joining the Eagles:

"Definitely. They run the scheme that I'm talking about....Cover 3, man press....and they're committed to winning, so definitely Philadelphia, if they was to come at me, I would definitely have to consider."

[smeags]

uh oh, that surely isn't the kind of cornbread verbage chipper likes to hear.

maxwell = out

im trying to figure out the eagles schedule for next year. here's what i got.

-week 1 (phillies) and week 3 (pope) will be roadies. week 2 therefore has to be at home. they also cant play the sunday of week 4 (phils). look out for a mnf game that week. generally teams do not start the season with 3/4 road games. 

-last year they were on the road for their thursday game. generally those rotate. high odds there will be a thurday home game this year, likely within the first 8 weeks of the season when cbs airs the games. those are divisional matchups. i would heavily lean washington there. the giants and cowboys both came here for primetime games last year.

-with that, i would expect road snf games at dallas and at the giants. its not a lock -- dallas has visited the giants on snf the last 2 years. but generally these things rotate.

-eagles are 1 of 2 candidates to be in the opener @ ne. pittsburgh is the other. since they have to be on the road in week 1, the odds of them being this game just went up. keep in mind the schedule will come out before the (impossible) MM trade.

-last year the eagles had 4 primetime games -- 3 home, 1 road. that wont happen again.

-i see the arizona game as a strong candidate to go to mnf. its a good matchup, but not one snf will want and not one fox will move to 430. therefore it would get lost in the 100 shuffle. with the eagles likely going on the road for some other primetime games (division, maybe the opener), theyd need a home jawn. this would be that. 

-week 17 will be interesting. the nfl likes to rotate the matchups around. but the nfc east is the biggest draw in the sport. nyg/dal is the biggest matchup. after the fiasco in 2011, that will not be a week 17 matchup. so the eagles can only play dallas or the giants that week. thing is dal/phi is a major, major matchup, too. nbc will want 1 game. fox will want the other, but week 17 makes things unpredictable. in that case, they would be repeating the same sequence (nyg/phi, wsh/dal) as last season. to my knowledge, they havent done that. this will be interesting. either way, i anticipate that week 17 game being at home.

-lastly, i see very few 430 games for the eagles. maybe 1 or 2. they will have 4-5 primetime games. but that means over half the schedule will be 100 jawns. that has more to do with the weak draw of the opponents than anything else.

snf candidates: nyg, dal, ne
mnf candidates: wsh, no, mia, arz, atl, car, det
tnf candidtes: wsh, nyg (outside shot)
430 joe buck specials candidates: dal, nyg, ne

Black Phreak?

[BigEd76]

Says we're tough but fair fans and we have cheesesteaks.  That's all he knows about Philly

DGunn: "What's your favorite color?"
Maxwell: "Purple"
DGunn: "Ahhhh...we tried to get you to say midnight green."
Maxwell: "I had to be that specific? I couldn't just say green?"



Probably signs with the Jaguars on Tuesday

Sources in Philadelphia tell me Devin McCourty is high on the Eagles free agent board and will pursue him. As will the New York Giants.

Same girl that posted the Worilds rumor

[PhillyPhreak54]

She's pretty plugged in to NFL stuff for being a DC local news reporter

And not bad looking either
