The Saints knew they had value in RB/Gadget RB Darren Sproles and they took a 5th round pick and sent him packing to the NFC East best Offensive Unit the Philadelphia Eagles. What does this mean for the Eagles and more importantly their 2014 Season...a LINC-iliscious Explosion!

The Eagles now will boast arguably the best Offensive Unit in the NFC let alone the NFC East as Eagles #1 QB Nick "Desert Swarm" Foles has more options than an Adult with Duffle Bags of Dead Presidents in Sin City. Let's take a look at the Eagles Weapons for the 2014 season:

2013 Numbers

SAINTS Sproles Receiving Numbers only...71 Pigs 604 yds 2 TDs 574 YAC

QB Nick Foles 16 gms 203 Comp 317 Att  2891 yds 27 TDs 2 INTs 119.2 QB Rating

RB "Shady" McCoy 16 gms 314 Att 1607 yds 9 TDs 100.4 yds/g

WR "D-Jack 10" 82 Pigs 1332 yds 9 TDs 463 YAC
WR "Coop" 47 Pigs 835 yds 8 TDs 232 YAC
WR "Shady" McCoy 52 Pigs 539 yds 2 TDs 559 YAC
TE B-Celek 32 Pigs 502 yds 6 TDs 248 YAC
TE Z-Ertz 36 Pigs 469 yds 4 TDs 161 YAC

* WR Jeremy "Mac-Attack" Maclin gets a 1-year deal from Eagles coming off an ACL Tear...add him to the mix...Yikes!

Since 2009 Darren Sproles is #1 in Running Back Receiving Yards as "Shady" McCoy is #4 on that list....Sproles will be a huge asset if he can stay healthy!

Eagles need to concentrate on Defense only as they have already picked up former Saints and Sproles Teammate Malcolm Jenkins from The Ohio State University and a Piscataway, NJ Native...

Eagles have the 4th hardest schedule in 2014 which means absolutely nothing as Teams improve over the Off Season for better or worse...
