IS GLAD SPRING TRAINING IS FINALLY HERE
Former Eagles right tackle Jon Runyan said he continues to wait for a call from someone who might be interested in having him join their team. Runyan worked out for the Eagles, Chiefs and Bills earlier this season, but is still not back in the NFL.
He said his knee, following offseason microfracture surgery, "has taken a turn for the better in the last month" during an interview on the coach's show on WIP (this came during the part of the show without Andy Reid).
During his news conference earlier Monday, coach Andy Reid was asked about whether he was concerned about the offensive line and was considering bringing in new players. "I think we'll be alright," he said.

Kicker David Akers, who missed two field goals Sunday, said he was at his locker initially when reporters arrived, then left. It looked like a wonky snap on at least one of those missed field goals.
Of the misses, Akers said on WIP, "I let down my teammates, the fans and the organization."
Remember when you just assumed the Birds had the kicking edge, every week?

Bowen has covered the Eagles for the Daily News
since 2002.
Before that, he spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers. It took Les
only a few seasons after the switch to figure out that there was no
penalty box at the Linc, and that the time really wasn't his, despite
what Andy Reid kept saying. Les came to Philadelphia and the Daily News
from Charlotte in 1983. In the intervening years, he has pretty much
lost track of NASCAR, and his accent. He, his wife Barbara, and their
two sons live in Haddon Township, New Jersey.

Domowitch has been with the Daily News since 1982.
He has spent most of his nearly 3 decades with the paper covering the
Eagles and pro football. For the last 10 years, he’s been a
selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A native of Wilkes-Barre
and a graduate of Wilkes University, Domo started his career in Texas,
working first for the Midland Reporter-Telegram (1976-78), and then for
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas
Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually was
boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose 2 sports coats to
blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley,
a University of Oklahoma grad who still hasn’t gotten over
that Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State 5 years ago, have 2 terrific
daughters -- Allison, 28, who is an attorney in South Jersey, and Amy,
25, who works in administration for a professional baseball team.
