Brett Favre says Eagles should go with Nick Foles over Carson Wentz - NBCSP“No disrespect at all to Carson Wentz. I think he’s already proven that he’s a great quarterback. Totally different than Nick Foles. Nick Foles Youth Seth Joyner Jerseys , to me, is more of a (Tom) Brady-esque type quarterback. Very limited in what he can do but very, very good in what he does. He’s a pure pocket passer and he’s great at dishing it out and he’s proven that he’s clutch. He did it this past week, he did it last year, he’s done it time and time again, and he’s proven that he can win the big games. That, I think, is what we have to look at, or the Eagles, or anyone in a similar situation — it’s about winning, it’s about being clutch, doing really what you expect your players to do. And he does it as well as anyone.” Favre spoke on his radio show on SiriusXM NFL Radio, co-hosted by Bruce Murray.Even one of Philadelphia’s biggest haters admits he’s impressed by the Eagles - BGNI can’t believe I’m saying this about the guy who once said “Philadelphia is the dumbest sports city in America” but Colin Cowherd actually had a really good take on the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this week. You would think that Cowherd might rip the Eagles for how their 2018 season ended, calling them a “one-year wonder”or a “fluke.” But he didn’t. Instead, he actually went on a long rant about how the Eagles were incredibly impressive in their playoff loss to the New Orleans Saints.The Future of the Eagles with Zack Rosenblatt - BGN RadioMichael Kist talks with Eagles’ beat writer Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com to take a look back at the 2018 season before discussing a range of topics regarding what happens with the Eagles before the 2019 season!

Powered by SB Nation and Bleeding Green Nation.Ranking the Eagles’ 2019 offseason needs from most glaring to most stable - PhillyVoiceOne of the strengths of the Eagles’ roster over the last few seasons has been the defensive line, and there haven’t been any recent down years in terms of the pass rush. And you know what? You don’t want to be that team that can’t get to the quarterback. The lack of a pass rush is a fatal flaw for many teams, especially in today’s NFL, where there are so many elite quarterbacks who can just pick you apart if they have time to throw. If you can’t affect the quarterback, you’re in big trouble.Eagles’ Success Stems From Culture Established By Doug Pederson - PE.comPederson waited for every last player to file through the tunnel and greeted each one with a hug or a pat on the back. Some greetings lasted longer, depending on if the player wanted to take in that moment or just continue walking. But each was sincere and made an impact. “I’ve never seen that before,” said 11-year veteran defensive end Chris Long. “There’s nothing fake about that. I mean there’s nothing fake about that. A lot of people, when they get power in the league and they get the head coaching job, they don’t treat people the way Doug treats somebody. I just really appreciate him.”Biggest looming 2019 free-agent decisions for all 32 NFL teams - ESPN The defensive hero of Super Bowl LII, Graham played through a high ankle sprain last postseason and wasn’t fully healthy for much of the 2018 campaign. He ended up with four sacks -- his lowest total since 2013 -- but the 30-year-old picked up steam as the season went on. He can be a force both against the run and as a pass-rusher, and he has been a key figure in the locker room over the past several seasons. Graham loves it in Philadelphia. If the Eagles can get him at a discount, a deal could get done. But his best chance at a bigger payday will be elsewhere.Howie Roseman defends Eagles’ new medical staff after injury-marred season - InquirerWentz confirmed that he sought outside medical opinions and that those doctors said that his injury could have been difficult to diagnose from tests. The Eagles, he said, were basing treatment off his symptoms, which, he said Black Harold Carmichael Jerseys , were “up and down.” Roseman, when he was asked why the Eagles weren’t able to diagnose Wentz’s injury earlier, especially once he popped up on the injury report, declined to offer details. “I am going to let what Carson talked about his own injury” stand on its own, Roseman said. “Everything we did complied with the NFL rules.” Wentz was never placed on injured reserve, but he missed the final three games of the season as backup Nick Foles helped lead the Eagles into the postseason. Wentz also missed both playoff games and said he was hoping to be available had the Eagles advanced further. Wentz said that he is expected to make a full recovery and should be fine long-term. Roseman said the Eagles had confidence that their 26-year-old quarterback, who Pederson declared as the starter for next season, can be “a 19-game starter” in the future. Nineteen games would be mean that the Eagles return to the Super Bowl. Having a healthier season would help make that possible.It’s time for Nick Foles to take a stand - PFTIf, as it appears, the Eagles will play out Foles’ contractual situation in a way that allows them to control his rights for 2019, Foles needs to be sure that everyone realizes that he has plenty of power. From the Eagles exercising a $20 million option for 2019 to Foles invoking his right to buy his freedom for $2 million to the Eagles applying the franchise tag at $25 million or so, Foles should make it clear that he will gladly sign the one-year tender, refuse to sign a long-term contract with the Eagles or someone else that doesn’t take into account the $30 million or so he’d make under the tag in 2020, and prepare to go year to year, Kirk Cousins-style, until Foles gets a fair contract from whoever holds his rights or a chance to hit the open market.Pick Six Podcast: Here are the teams most likely to trade for Steelers’ Antonio Brown - CBS SportsSo who makes sense as a potential suitor? Pick Six host Will Brinson agreed with La Canfora that just about every NFL team outside of the Steelers’ AFC North rivals could be a realistic trade partner for a player of Brown’s caliber. But the latter has an idea about where, specifically, the perennial All-Pro could land. ”I think he ends up in the NFC,” La Canfora said. “I think you look at the Eagles, I think you look at the Seahawks, I think you look at the 49ers, I think you look at the Packers. And then, beyond that, who don’t you look at?”What will the Jaguars get out of John DeFilippo? - Big Cat CountryOne of the big pluses of DeFilippo is he’s known as a teacher, which could be very important if the Jaguars do decide to draft a quarterback with their first round pick even though the hire will likely ramp up Nick Foles speculation.Redskins Coaching News: Greg Manusky will keep his job after Jay Gruden talked to potential replacements - Hogs HavenGreg Manusky is back! I know you are as excited as Jay Gruden is to hear this news. The Redskins had some casual conversations with several former head coaches/defensive coordinators for the DC job that’s not officially open in Washington. Everyone they talked to(Todd Bowles, Steve Wilks, Gregg Williams, and Joe Woods) found other jobs in the NFL and passed on joining Gruden’s lame duck coaching staff.The Incredible Feats of Young Andy Reid - Sports Illustrated“His waist was probably twice as big as mine, and he was probably eight inches to a foot taller than everybody,” Pallas says. Ken Gerard Harold Carmichael Jerseys 2019 , one of Reid’s physical education teachers at Thomas Starr King Junior High School, estimates that, at 13 years old, Reid stood about 6’ 2”, and weighed 220 pounds. Reid’s friends confirm, he was right around that size.The Chiefs’ Underrated Pass Rush Could Be the Key to Stopping Tom Brady - The RingerThe trio of Justin Houston, Chris Jones, and Dee Ford form one of the more fearsome pass-rushing units in the NFL—and their success could send Kansas City to the Super BowlNFL playoffs Panic Index 2019: Tom Brady has fewer postseason road wins than Mark Sanchez - SB NationThe Patriots don’t have to hit the road often in January, but when they do, they “struggle,” at least as much as the Patriots ever struggle. They’re just 3-4 as the away team in the Brady-Belichick era. Brady’s three wins are actual fewer than Mark Sanchez has in his postseason career — in fact, one of Sanchez’s four road wins was also one of the Patriots’ three home losses. Fewer road playoff wins than Mr. Butt Fumble himself?

It’s third-and-4, and Sweat relied on a powerful long arm move to violently collapse the pocket before exploding into the quarterback just as he released the ball. Sweat flashed the use of this move in college, but not to this level, as he made mincemeat of tackle Austin Pasztor, a former starter for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The ball was nearly intercepted by Orlando Scandrick, but the tipped pass instead was caught for a first down. Later in the series, on third-and-12, Sweat busted out that long arm move again, forcing his way through Pasztor’s outside half to find the shortest path to the quarterback who had to step up in the pocket. This allowed Daeshon Hall, who used a combination of moves to beat the right tackle, to get home for a strip-sack. Throughout the course of the night, Sweat tried to work on stringing multiple moves together. He won high side (meaning on the offensive tackle’s outside shoulder) and low side (inside shoulder), impacted the run game, and showed off the motor and athleticism that made him one of the most intriguing defensive prospects in the 2018 NFL Draft. I love watching young players develop, and watching Sweat make these steps in the right direction is a lot of fun to see5 quarterbacks the Eagles could consider signing with Nate Sudfeld injured - BGNThis is the most realistic option that makes sense for the Eagles. Johnson seems like he’d be willing to accept the role the Eagles need right now as a guy who could help fill preseason reps and compete with Kessler and Thorson. Johnson could reasonably be a backup to Wentz early in the season until Sudfeld is ready to return. Johnson is hardly an overly inspiring option when you look at his career stats: 1-7 as a starter, 55.2 completion percentage, 6.1 yards per attempt Black Randall Cunningham Jerseys , eight touchdowns, 14 interceptions, 61.7 passer rating. I’ve always kind of liked Johnson relative to what he is, though. He offers the added bonus of mobility with 5.9 yards per rush attempt. And I thought he looked decent with Washington last year for what you could reasonably expect out of him only signing with the team in early December and playing with a terrible supporting cast. Johnson is definitely better than what Thorson offers right now and he might even be able to beat out Kessler.The QB Scho Show #28: Eagles’ Week 1 Preseason “Quarterbacking” - BGN RadioMichael Kist and Mark Schofield review the performances from the three Eagles’ quarterbacks in week 1 of preseason action against the Titans, plus a discussion on the Nate Sudfeld injury and a suggestion for a possible replacement! POST-RECORDING UPDATE: It’s being reported that Nate Sudfeld will only miss six weeks, meaning two weeks of the regular season if that projection is accurate. Powered by SB Nation and Bleeding Green Nation.Nate Sudfeld Update - Iggles BlitzThere is no question that Josh Sweat has serious physical ability. His length and his power just jump off the screen when you watch him at his best. That’s why he can be so frustrating. A player with his ability should be blowing up plays left and right. If Sweat can build off the good plays, he can still become a key role player for this team. The potential is there. And I do think it is important to note that he got better as the game went along. I was very impressed with what I saw from Daeshon Hall vs the Titans. He is playing his way onto the roster and possibly into the rotation if he can keep that up. The young DTs looked good. The Eagles have serious depth on the inside of the defense.PFF ReFocused, NFL Preseason Week 1: Tennessee Titans 27, Philadelphia Eagles 10 - PFFDaeshon Hall‘s strip-sack was his biggest highlight, but he wreaked havoc on the Titans’ offensive tackles all night in the passing game. Midway through the third, he found his way to knock down Woodside again after an ill-attempted cut block was pushed aside. Tight end Dallas Goedert and quarterback Nate Sudfeld showed a nice rapport early. They connected for three first downs in the first quarter, as Goedert kept finding a way to get open. Goedert also had a decent performance as a run blocker.Five NFL trades we want to see before Week 1, like A.J. Green to 49ers and Eagles adding a QB - CBS SportsEagles get: QB Trevor SiemianJets get: 2020 fifth-round pick. A true Howie Roseman blockbuster would be assembling a package for a top pass rusher to rotate with Derek Barnett opposite Brandon Graham (like, say, Jerry Hughes, who plays for a team that might have use for a guy like Halapoulivaati Vaitai). But after Thursday night, priority No. 1 has suddenly become finding an experienced backup for Carson Wentz, who -- in case you forgot -- has been prone to miss games. Nate Sudfeld may very well be sidelined for much of the 2019 season after suffering a broken wrist in his preseason debut, and Siemian -- even more proven than Sudfeld -- would make for an instant upgrade over Cody Kessler. The Jets, of course, signed Siemian to be the No. 2 behind their own youngster, Sam Darnold. But they signed him months before new general manager Joe Douglas, a noted member of the Eagles’ title-winning front office, came over from Philly. That’s not to say Siemian’s unwanted, but is the drop-off from him to, say, free agent Josh Johnson so steep that Douglas would turn down a future pick for his Jets reconstruction? (Fun fact: Johnson once signed with the Bears back when Douglas was in Chicago’s front office, too.) Douglas could help his old friends out and gain some draft capital for a guy the Jets will likely replace after 2019 anyway. Top 25 Prospects In Review: 2008 - Football Outsiders13. Brent Celek, TE, Philadelphia Eagles — Like most players on this list Randall Cunningham Jerseys 2019 , Celek had to regroup before he made his big debut on the scene. 2008 was another year of low targets behind Smith -- he wound up with 298 yards on 64 targets and a -15.9% DVOA. Celek broke through the door in the 2008 playoffs, catching 10 balls against the Cardinals in the NFC Championship Game. From 2009 to 2012, Celek was the primary Eagles tight end, and his big 2009 (968 yards, eight touchdowns, 169 DYAR on 112 targets) was an indicator of the peak of his talent. If the Eagles hadn’t drafted Zach Ertz, Celek probably gets a few more years of solid statistical output. As it is, he ended up a Philly folk hero. A player in the line of Celek probably wouldn’t have the raw top-tier talent to get me excited about putting him at the top of a prospects list today, but he’d be such a safe bet that he’d be an easy bottom-15 placement.Buffalo Bills trade Eli Harold for rookie OL Ryan Bates - Buffalo RumblingsHarold, 25, had signed a one year, $895,000 contract with the Bills a few weeks before the 2019 NFL Draft. Once training camp sorted out the depth chart, it became increasingly clear that Harold wouldn’t be able to make the active roster. Behind the starting rotation of Jerry Hughes, Trent Murphy, and Shaq Lawson, the team had two promising youngsters in Mike Love and Darryl Johnson.Detroit Lions working out 2 quarterbacks: Josh Johnson, Landry Jones - Pride Of DetroitAccording to a report for NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Detroit Lions will work out two quarterbacks on Saturday. Former Buccaneers passer Josh Johnson and former Steelers draft pick Landry Jones will visit Allen Park in the hopes of landing on the Lions’ 90-man roster and potentially beyond.Antonio Brown could quit over his helmet? Let us explain - ESPNThis can’t be real. Oh, but it is. Brown participated in a two-hour conference call on Friday, Schefter reported, as part of a grievance that he hopes will provide an exception to wear his old helmet. That model is a Schutt Air Advantage, according to a league source, and it was discontinued by the manufacturer earlier this decade.3 ways the Cowboys could deal with their Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and Amari Cooper contract situation - SB NationJerry Jones has a problem on his hand. The blossoming stars of his offense are about to go from the league’s biggest bargains to some of the game’s highest-paid players. Quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper are each entering the final years of their rookie contracts. Running back Ezekiel Elliott’s deal realistically won’t expire until after the 2020 season, but he’s threatening to skip the entire 2019 campaign if he doesn’t get a major pay raise after leading the league in rushing yards in two of his first three seasons....Social Media Information:BGN Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBGN Twitter: Follow @BleedingGreenBGN Manager: Brandon Lee Gowton: Follow @BrandonGowtonBGN Radio Twitter: Follow @BGN_Radio
