 • Reason for concerns: NFC East (SportingNews.com)
    A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the NFC East: Dallas Cowboys 1. Lack of touchdowns. The first-string offense has scored only one offensive TD in 12 possessions — an 8-yard drive set up by a turnover — and has shown little production rushing or passing. Obviously they don't do much game-planning or sophisticated play-calling in preseason but they didn't do it last year either but were a lot more productive in preseason. >> read more or comment

 • Eagles Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
    

Somebody asked Eagles defensive coordinator Sean McDermott the other day whether his defense has looked better this summer than it did last year.

"At which point last year?" McDermott asked with a laugh. "You know there's a number of new faces and it's one thing to look good in preseason and it's another to look good throughout each and every week of a 16-game schedule. So we still have a lot of work to do. And the players know that more than anybody."

Beset by injuries and the departure of seven-time Pro Bowl free safety Brian Dawkins McDermott's unit struggled last season giving up 27 touchdown passes and holding just two of their final 12 opponents to less than 20 points.

But head coach Andy Reid and general manager Howie Roseman made some key offseason... Thu 02 Sep 2010 00:55:47 PDT nfl urn:newsml:sports.yahoosportsxchange:20080101:nflarticleteamreports-2010-nfl-phi:1 >> read more or comment

 • Suit threatened if Marc Savard contract is voided (SportingNews.com)
    Boston Bruins center Marc Savard has had enough with speculation over whether the NHL might void his seven-year $28 million contract.

 • Flyers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
    

After weeks of silence the Flyers' training facility in Voorhees N.J. has come alive with sounds of skates cutting ice and pucks ringing off goalposts.

In his second-floor office that overlooks the rink Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren is hoping his offseason moves will help the Flyers return to the Stanley Cup Final something the Penguins and Red Wings managed in 2008 and 2009.

"I think we're deeper on defense but I also think we've learned from the experience of the playoffs and I think we can use that to our advantage" Holmgren said. "I think the carrot that's hanging in front of them is we just went to the Final and there's a next step they need to take. Teams have done it."
