IS TALKIN' SOUL WITH DONOVAN MORGAN
In their Super Bowl championship season, the Giants only went 3-3 in the NFC East, with a loss to the Eagles and two losses to last-place Washington.
That might not make running back Ahmad Bradshaw an expert, but he was asked for his opinions about the other teams in the division.
His observations on the Eagles were astute in their obviousness: “I think it might be a little bit of their defense,” he said. “I guess they were trying to come together with a lot of different people. Their offense is a great offense. You can't say too much about that. But I think it's their defense that really didn't come together.”
On the Redskins: “They have a great team. They beat us twice. I think they have a quarterback situation that hurt them a little bit. Their defnse is pretty stout with [London] Fletcher in the middle. He keeps them going.”
And then for the Cowboys, Bradshaw took his shot when asked whether Dallas could win a Super Bowl with quarterback Tony Romo:
"You know what, man, I don't see it happening," he said. "I don't think they believe it, and they're America's team.
"It all comes in together. If the fans don't believe it, the team doesn't. They're kinda doubtful with Romo."
The Eagles, by the way, were 5-1 in the division and 3-7 against the rest of their schedule.
Lynn to Raiders
Former Eagles secondary coach Johnnie Lynn will be hired as an assistant coach with the Oakland Raiders, according to Fox Sports.
Lynn spent this past season with the Eagles and then was fired. He was with San Francisco for the previous five seasons as defensive backs coach.
Les
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.

Paul
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.
