Apparently Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman weren’t kidding when they said back in June that their club would make a major splash in free agency. Philly’s infusion of new defensive talent after the lockout was on a scale never before seen in one NFL offseason. Before bagging the prized buck of the ’11 free agent class (former Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha), the Eagles signed ex-Titans defensive end Jason Babin (12.5 sacks in ’10) and Packers stud defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins.

With training camp slowly approaching, expectations are higher than ever this season for players and fans of the Philadelphia Eagles after strong late-season performance last year . After a Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens last season, a game in which quarterback Donovan McNabb was benched in the second half, the Eagles sat at 5-5-1 and would need to play perfect football the last five weeks of the season if there was any hope of making the playoffs.
