Kolb Highlights

Philadelphia Eagles and Kevin Kolb Era

Welcome Philly fans to what will be a great 2010 Philadelphia Eagles season. You can feel the excitement brewing from within, and the taste of fever in the air. It’s the football fever, a feeling that only continues to grow as the NFL season approaches.

Far from being the nfc east champions of 2008, the Philadelphia Eagles come into this 2010 season with a brand new squad. After the release of all-pro running back Brian Westbrook and the trade of Donavon McNabb (who were members of that '08 nfc championship team), the Eagles are ready to kickoff with a whole new generation of all-stars, staring Kevin Kolb, DeSean Jackson, LeSean McCoy, and Jeremy Maclin to name a few. They are young, quick, fast, and possess a ton of talent! The potential is there, now it’s all about execution.

Hopefully the Philadelphia Eagles can keep up with their divisional rivals because the northeast looks like a juggernaut division this year. So, Philly fans, put your game faces on...are you ready for some football?

The Eagles Organization


Philly Stadium: Lincoln Financial Field


Seating Capacity: 68,532 Philadelphia Eagles tickets


Previous Stadium: Veterans Stadium

Mascot: Swoop

Eagles Song:

Fly, Eagles Fly, on The Road to Victory!
Fight, Eagles, Fight, Score a Touchdown 1-2-3!
Hit 'em low, hit 'em high,
And watch our Eagles fly!
Fly, Eagles fly, On The Road to Victory!
E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!


Owner: Jeffrey Lurie

Offensive Coordinator: Marty Mornhinweg

Defensive Coordinator: Sean McDermott

Head Coach: Andy Reid

Kevin Kolb

Height: 6-3

Weight: 225 lbs

College: Houston

NFL Draft Position: 2007 2nd round, 36th overall pick

40-yard dash: 4.97s

Jersey: #4


Kevin Kolb is entering his fourth season in the NFL and is now listed as the Eagles starting quarterback. He only has 2 NFL starts to his name with a combined 718 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions. To date, Kevin is the first quarterback in history to throw for over 300 yards in his first two career starts. No doubt, with such an impeccable resume, Kolb is expected to perform well this season. His situation is comparable to that of Aaron Rodgers, who slipped into the starting quarterback spot after Bret Favre’s departure. Hopefully Kolb’s career has a similar fate to the, now, all-pro Green Bay quarterback.

LeSean McCoy

Height: 5-10

Weight: 208 lbs

College: Pittsburgh

NFL Draft Position: 2009: 2nd Rnd, 53rd overall pick

40-yard dash: 4.52s

Jersey: #25

LeSean McCoy showed a lot of promise in his 2009 rookie season. He nearly had 1,000 all-purpose yards while he shared carries with Leonard Weaver and Brian Westbrook. During the offseason, his mentor (Westbrook) was cut from the team, slating McCoy as the number one halfback for this season. LeSean poises a lot of the same speed and quickness as Westbrook once displayed, giving McCoy the opportunity to step up and make a big impact to the team. No doubt, there's a lot of pressure on the 2nd year running back.

DeSean Jackson

Height: 5-10

Weight: 175 lbs

College: California

NFL Draft Position: 2008: 2nd Rnd, 49th overall pick

40-yard dash: 4.35s

Jersey: #10

DeSean Jackson is another young sensation on the Eagle’s starting squad, who is lightning quick and has big play ability. Last season, Jackson had over 1,100 receiving yards and 9 touchdown receptions. Of the big three, (Kolb, McCoy, and Jackson) DeSean is the proven star on the offensive side of ball. He has two starting seasons under side belt, providing a lot of upside for his overall potential. Lets see if Kolb’s so called pinpoint accuracy helps Jackson become one of the NFL’s elite superstars.

Jeremy Maclin

Height: 6-0

Weight: 198 lbs

College: Missouri

NFL Draft Position: 1st Rnd, 19th overall pick

40-yard dash: 4.45s

Jersey: #18

Jeremy Maclin is much like DeSean Jackson. He’s fast and explosive and has the ability to score from anywhere on the field. In his rookie season debut, Maclin had about 800 yards receiving and a total of 4 touchdowns. Although he can make a defense pay with his quickness, Maclin did show some signs of inconsistency in the 2009 season. Jeremy is definitely a great complimentary receiver for both Jackson and Kolb.

Trent Cole

Height: 6-3

Weight: 270 lbs

College: Cincinnati

NFL Draft Position: 5th Rnd, 146th overall pick

40-yard dash: 4.70s

Jersey: #58


Trent Cole is Philadelphia's all-star defensive lineman. With his team leading 12.5 sacks last year, Cole has proven to be one of the best defensive ends in the national football league. His veteran leadership should allow additions like Darryl Tapp to reek havoc in the opponent's backfield. Additionally, a healthy Stewart Bradley will allow Trent to duplicate or even surpass last year's stellar performance.

Stewart Bradley

Height: 6-4

Weight: 258 lbs

College: Nebraska

NFL Draft Position: 2007: 3rd Rnd, 87th overall pick

40-yard dash: 4.77s

Jersey: #55

Stewart Bradley is the heart and sole of the Philadelphia defense. He was sidelined for all of the 2009 season with a serious knee injury. However, a full year of rehab and youth allows the Eagles defensive captain the opportunity to return to his 2008 (100+ tackles) status. Oh, he's good, real good!

Assante Samuel

Height: 5-10

Weight: 185 lbs

College: Central Florida

NFL Draft Position: 2003: 4th Rnd, 120th overall pick

40-yard dash: 4.49s

Jersey: #55

Asante Samuel is a big play cornerback. He can make a quarterback look foolish, bating the passer to throw to a seemingly open receiver. Unfortunately, with the glory comes utter failure. Sometimes Samuel misjudges his timing and the receiver is able to make a small play into a big one. Despite Asante's wild card antics, Samuel will have somewhere between 8-10 interceptions this upcoming season, guaranteed.


So, good luck Philly Fans, it's going to be a good one!

I still remember the last time the Bengals faced Vick with the Falcons about four years ago. He ran all over us passed for like 300 yards or so, and had a passer rating over 140. I guess you get a little rusty in jail.

Going to interesting without McNabb - I watched Kolb play at UofH and has looked solid in his hit outs. Thanks for the schedule. I look forward to the TEXANS Dec 2.
