National Media Exposure

The benefit of opening training camp a week earlier thanother teams is that the media, including out of town media, are more likely to run stories on your team and fill the NFL news hole. Here’s ESPN’s Len Pasquarelli with a feature on the Eagles' WR hopes and savior Reggie Brown (note the Ashley Lelie trade rumor reference again) and two W. Post stories profiling Darren Howard

and the Eagles' WR (notice a media trend there?)

To add to the meme, there’s Rich Hoffman's piece today about the coaching analysis of the WR. Hoffman ends with a killer close sure to strike fear not in opposing defenses but in any Eagles’ fan’s heart….”Pinkston as linchpin, then. Who ever would have believed it?”

Who indeed. Dear Lord.
