Tracy White News

Eagles defensive end Juqua Parker had a strong game Sunday against the 49ers. On Sunday, when I got home from the Eagles' game at around 11 p.m., I cued up the DVR to watch the offensive snaps for yesterday's Man Up .

EAGLES: Donovan McNabb wasn't at his best against San Francisco, tossing two picks and missing many opportunities early that could have put the 49ers on their heels.

For six years, he ran around covering punts and tackling kick returners and pouncing on loose footballs in the Lambeau Field end zone after Greg Lewis fumbles.

Asante Samuel is often seen as the poster child for the Eagles' tackling difficulties this season.

JEREMY MACLIN is expected to practice when the Eagles reconvene tomorrow, Andy Reid said.

The San Francisco 49ers had 13 points in the third quarter Sunday and then the Eagles defense put on the freeze.

AT TIMES, the Eagles' offense seemed to be shoveling snow with a rake. But the plays were there when it really mattered, and the Birds ground out a 27-13 victory over the San Francisco 49ers that put Andy Reid's team in the playoffs for the eighth time in his 11 seasons.

Throughout this season, when the Eagles' defense has had its problems, I've often looked at their lack of success getting to opposing quarterbacks with the blitz.

The Eagles' linebacker situation has been in focus all year. From the loss of Stewart Bradley in the preseason to the trade for Will Witherspoon to the addition of Jeremiah Trotter , the Birds have tried combination after combination to get things right.

Although it is sure to change throughout the week, Andy Reid did not rule out any of his active players for Sunday night's tilt at the Giants -- not even Kevin Curtis.

Tracy White has certainly been making the best of his time on the field. White, an Eagles linebacker and special teams player, always seems to be around the football.

The Eagles have risen to a second-place tie with the Ravens for most penalties in the NFL this season.

Andy Reid still hasn't mentioned the word concussion when talking about offensive tackle Jason Peters .

Another entertaining leave-it-til-the-fourth-quarter double-you for the Birds this week.

'S injury and then reinjury 3 weeks later have helped make concussions the NFL 's hottest-button topic, dramatically magnifying the scrutiny teams undergo in determining when players can again risk contact.

Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid claims he never thinks about how the rash of injuries his team has sustained affects its depth.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but the Washington Redskins are a tough, talented, deep and horribly underestimated team.

Brent Celek , the starting tight end, has a sprained thumb that seemed to be a real problem for him during the Eagles ' 27-24 win over the Washington Redskins .

WHAT'S THAT? DeSean Jackson might not play this week because of a concussion? Well, guess it's time for the Eagles to see what Brandon Gib ... oh, yeah.

Backup linebacker Tracy White lets loose with a war whoop after sticking the Redskins for a loss in the third quarter.
