Jason loves football. Too bad Shawn didn't like the sport. We sure could have used him in the 2008 season NFCCG. I don't believe Shawn has ever openly stated as much, but after seeing Brandon Brooks and Lane Johnson battle their own anxiety issues, I wonder if he dealt with the same thing but at a time when fans were less understanding.

July 2, 20241 yr Author Lem Burnham....interesting dude. Played on the team from 1977-79. Was on IR in 1980. Led the team in sacks in 1977. After football though.... Burnham worked as the team psychologist for the Philadelphia Eagles, Philadelphia 76ers and Baltimore Orioles from 1986 to 1992. He was the director and vice president of player and employee development of the NFL from 1992 to 2002. He was also the mastermind behind the NFL Rookie Symposium, which debuted in 1997. And his name was Lemuel.
July 2, 20241 yr Author Bill Bergey. Of course. He was acquired in 1974 for a 1977 first-round pick along with 1978 first- and second-round picks. Two time All-Pro with the Eagles. Changed the vibe in the City the day he arrived.
July 2, 20241 yr Bergey was really, really good. It’s probably between him and Joyner for who is the best Eagles LB in the past fifty years.

July 3, 20241 yr Author Charlie Johnson. Maybe the best NT in team history. 2x first team All-Pro along with 3 trips to the Pro Bowl.
July 4, 20241 yr Author The player on the left is Ed George (Guy Morris is on the right). George was maybe the worst starting OL I can remember from the seventies. Was a standout in the CFL and inducted to their HOF in 2005. With the Eagles, however, he was good for at least one holding call a game. "Holding. Offense. Number 64." was still echoing through the Vet when they tore it down.
July 5, 20241 yr Author Hank Fraley. "Honeybuns" After a practice in his rookie season, when he was beset by a stubborn bumblebee, Tra Thomas joked that he must be "sweet as a honeybun." Played for the Eagles from '00-'05. He's now the OL Coach in Detroit.
