Those reasons alone are enough for the Eagles to give Mathis a new deal of three to four years. The Philadelphia Eagles had a pair of underachieving safeties in Kurt Coleman and Nate Allen, and it’s time for a serious upgrade at the position. Andy Reid...
Bowles inherits a perplexing group. Nate Allen, a second-round pick in 2010, showed flashes of talent but also errors after returning from a knee injury. Jaiquawn Jarrett, the team's number two pick in 2011, barely got on the field and was stuck behind...

I think people try to pick you apart, absolutely ... You can do the same things, but if you win, people don't notice. That's the difference. Everyone in this locker room believes in each other. We know what we can do. We have everybody here to get wins. We really do. We've just got to go out there and p...
He has eight Pro Bowls among current corners Asante Samuel, Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (though Samuel, an expensive player, might not be in the ranks when the seasons starts). He has a total of 42 starts among young safeties Nate...
This looked like an easy W for the Eagles, a nice bounce back game after a disappointing loss in Atlanta. But it all went wrong late in the first quarter when, on a third-and-two play, Cruz caught a pass from Manning, Asomugha and Kurt Coleman collided...
He does have good potential as a speedy slot receiver and should be able to help the Eagles right away in the return game and possibly even as a slot receiver in four receiver sets. The Eagles are pretty set sat safety right now with starters Nate...

Antonio Allen would be a step in the right direction. He may not necessarily come in and start right away, but Allen has the size, speed and athleticism needed to, at the very least, provide competition for Kurt Coleman and Jaiquawn Jarrett. The fourth...
Charles Woodson, but Asomugha struggled in any other coverage that wasn't press man coverage. Castillo had a lot to figure out with his secondary in a very short time. 2012 should be a very different story with the secondary. Allen's knee should be back...

It's not fun losing, but I think that's what continues to motivate me because I am a winner and know what I can do
Effort on this team is never going to be a question
You have a job to do, and we still have a shot ... There's things that we can continue to look forward to. We've got to take this game by game. I'm a winner, and I know what I'm capable of doing. If there's something I've got to do to get better, I'm going to go ahead and do it. I'm going to do everythi...
The best way to judge someone’s character is when they’re going through trials and tribulations … ... We learn from our losses. We know what you have to correct. You can’t hang your head on a loss too long it’s going to add onto more losses. We don’t want that.
I told him even during the game. I have all the faith in Nate ... Nate’s a special player. I’ve seen him make plays. He continuously makes plays out there. The proof is in the pudding. You’re not always going to have a perfect day. But I think the way you really rebound is how you do the next game. Nate...
He understands what defenses are trying to do to him. He knows how to put his guys in the right positions to make the plays and he’s able to put it on point ... You’ve got to give him different types of looks in all different types of downs.
Let’s be honest, Tom Brady is definitely a Hall of Famer, he’s a great QB for a reason
I love challenges ... I think we all love challenges, and I think this team is being challenged every week right now, and I think we’ve got to rise to the occasion. I think everybody’s willing to do that.
It's painful to see ... You never want to see a teammate go down, especially when it's your lower body. But he'll be back soon.
We've got to stick to the game plan ... Nnamdi's definitely a big piece of what we do on defense, but we have guys we can rotate in, guys who can do similar things. Everybody has to step up their game if he can't go. Everybody has to pick up the slack.
Everyone had the confidence that we were gonna get it done
We got it done when we needed to
Everyone had the confidence that we were going to get it done
Bottom line is, our backs are still against the wall
Our mentality was totally different
