- John Smallwood: Battles heating up for defensive end at Eagles camp
- Demps is front-runner for Eagles' kick-return job
- Super Bowl champion Giants have a chip on their shoulder pads this season
THIS WASN'T an issue Jim Johnson thought he would be dealing with.
During minicamps, the Eagles defensive coordinator all but drooled about the depth and competition he would have at defensive end.
- Source says Ratliff, Sixers agree to 1-year deal
- Iguodala signs 6-year, $80 million contract extension
ANDRE IGUODALA isn't crazy - although even he acknowledges that a lot of people might have believed he was last year when he turned down a $57.4 million contract extension from then-Sixers president/general manager Billy King.
- CLEARLY, Brian Dawkins and the rest of the Eagles' secondary had a better perspective of what was coming. They were already headed toward the tunnel when the big lightning bolt flashed across the South Philadelphia sky, sending the Eagles and Carolina Panthers sprinting off the field and officially signaling a lightning delay for last night's preseason football game at Lincoln Financial Field.
- BETHLEHEM - Yesterday, Jed Collins was still listed as third on the Eagles' depth chart at fullback, behind Jason Davis and Luke Lawton.
- BETHLEHEM - It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall when Andy Reid has his sitdown with wayward guard Shawn Andrews.
- BETHLEHEM - The Eagles' preseason opener tomorrow night at the Pittsburgh Steelers means different things to different players. For an established starter like running back Brian Westbrook, it is little more than a necessary annoyance on the road to the real thing on Sept. 7.

- BETHLEHEM - It wasn't completely true that Donovan McNabb was entirely free of responsibility during yesterday's morning practice. Yes, it was the first application of coach Andy Reid's new 30-plus club, where veterans over 30 years old will get the morning practice off every third day of training camp, but McNabb was scheduled to be in the autograph tent with the other quarterbacks and tight ends.
