• Objective Summary:

The article is about the Eagles inquiring running back Darren Sproles. From the Saints for a fifth round draft pick.Also inquiring Nolan Carroll from the Dolphins.

• Connection:
  Darren Sproles and Lesean Mccoy aka "Shady" are two of the most dynamic running backs in the NFL.Darren Sproles breaking the all-time record in 2011.And Lesean McCoy the record for most yards in a game and in season. Sproles is ten years older than McCoy so he could mentor him or give him suggestions.Chip Kelly likes his team to be very fast-paced as we could see when he was the coach of the Oregon Ducks.So he will accommodate players that he thinks will help him achieve that.

• How does this event/article relate to what we’re reading/doing in your classes?

• Reaction: I was surprised when i heard we were getting two former Saints Malcolm Jenkins,and Darren Sproles was being dropped by the New Orleans Saints,and picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles.Darren Sproles is a very dynamic player and a great asset to any team he goes to.And with the fast paced offense the Eagles use to run their offense Sproles would fit in perfectly.Also they were able to pick up former Dolphins play Nolan Carroll.

• Take a position on the issue in the article.

I gave the Eagles a round of applause for taking advantage of the Saints dropping Sproles because many NFL teams were looking to add him.The Eagles got to him first so they were able to add him to their team.

• How do you feel about this event?

I love the Eagles they are my favorite team.And us getting new accommodations like Darren Sproles,Nolan Carroll are great for our team.I think the two will have no difficulty fitting into the Eagles offensive and defensive scheme.

• How does this event affect you?

I have been a Eagles fan for years and i think that how we did 2012-13 season.We will do ten times better this year.Because of our new accommodations,and the draft picks we could pick up for the 2013-14 season will help us enhance our plans for making it to the Super Bowl.
