Before the Philadelphia Eagles begin their quest

for a repeat http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-corey-clement-jersey , they’ll have one more celebration.The first Super Bowl banner in franchise history will be unveiled in front of a sellout crowd that waited seemingly forever to witness the moment.Then it’s on to defending their crown.Coach Doug Pederson and his veteran players have preached throughout the offseason the importance of moving forward and focusing on the present if the Eagles are going to have any chance of becoming the ninth team to repeat as Super Bowl champs.They have a tough opponent Thursday night in the NFL opener. The Atlanta Falcons were 2 yards away from knocking the Eagles out of the playoffs in the divisional round, but Matt Ryan‘s pass to Julio Jones fell incomplete in the right corner of the end zone.“It’s going to be a great night,” Pederson said. “The fans are going to be crazy and they’re going to be excited. It’s going to be great for the banner to be dropped. It’s going to be a great atmosphere. This football team, though, they understand this is a different season. It’s a new team, new year. We’re sitting here 0-0 with a great opportunity against a great opponent. Quite honestly, that’s their focus.”The Falcons understand they were real close to advancing to the NFC championship game. Beating the Eagles this time around won’t make up for the loss in January, but the goal now is to finish the season at home in Atlanta, where the Super Bowl will be played in February.“They had a great team last year,” Ryan said. “I’m certain that the atmosphere will be good, obviously with them celebrating (what) they did last year. Once that settles, it comes down to us, our 11 on the field against their 11.”Nick Foles filled in for Carson Wentz, led the Eagles to their first championship since 1960 and earned Super Bowl MVP honors . Foles again will be under center; Wentz hasn’t been medically cleared following surgery last December to repair two torn knee ligaments.Foles struggled in the preseason, but he was excellent when it mattered in the playoffs. Foles had a 115.7 passer rating, completed 72.6 percent of his passes and threw for 971 yards, six TDs and one interception in three playoff wins.“You have to get a rhythm,” Foles said, comparing his quarterbacking to his days playing basketball. “If I go play pickup basketball right now Womens DeSean Jackson Jersey , I’m not going to be very good because I haven’t played in a long time. But if I play for a couple weeks, I’ll be back to who I used to be. I’ll be able to shoot everywhere, I’ll probably be able to dunk again a little bit. It’s the same with football. That’s how I am as an athlete.”21<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:Dallas Cowboys: Celebrities who root for the Cowboys from LeBron James to Stone Cold Steve AustinUSA TODAY SportsSome things to know about the Falcons-Eagles rematch:THEY’RE BACK: While the Eagles won’t have Wentz, three key players who also sustained season-ending injuries last year will return. Nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters, versatile returner/running back Darren Sproles, and playmaking linebacker Jordan Hicks are healthy and ready to go. Pederson held Peters and Sproles out in preseason but expects them to be sharp.UNHAPPY HOMECOMING: Ryan, who grew up rooting for the Eagles and went to Philadelphia’s William Penn Charter School, is 1-4 at Lincoln Financial Field. Even during his MVP season two years ago, he had his worst game in Philly. He was 18 of 33 for 267 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a 24-15 loss.TEVIN’S TIME: Devonta Freeman (865, 7) and Tevin Coleman (628, 5) combined for 1,493 yards rushing and 12 TDs last season, but the Eagles had the NFL’s stingiest run defense and held the Falcons to 86 yards on the ground in the playoff game. Coleman, however, had 79 yards on 10 carries.THROW IT TO JULIO: Jones, a two-time All-Pro, only had three TD catches last season and offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian wants to make sure they find him inside the red zone.“We need to get No. 11 the ball,” Sarkisian said.MISSING MEN: Wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and Mack Hollins won’t play because of injuries, so the Eagles will rely on veteran Mike Wallace Cameron Johnston Jersey , second-year pro Shelton Gibson, and Nelson Agholor to pick up the slack. Philadelphia Eagles news and links for 3/27/19."Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...Ranking the NFL’s top-five blocking tight ends in 2018 - PFF5. Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles. Goedert’s rookie season was chock full of strong run-blocking efforts, as he earned 65.0-plus run-blocking grades in seven games in 2018. His 72.5 run-blocking grade ranked fifth among qualifiers in 2018 and ranks inside the top 20 among all rookie tight ends in the PFF era (2006-Present). How will Doug Pederson keep Eagles’ offense balanced next season? - InquirerThey averaged more yards per play, however, last season when they were in “12” personnel – two tight ends – and by the end of the year Pederson’s play-calling had reflected this trend. Goedert’s development in his second season should call for more “12” personnel. But that means a receiver will have to come off the field. “Obviously, we have guys now that we can put out on the field that can be explosive,” Pederson said. “A lot of times, too, in your 12 personnel, you’re a little more run-oriented, so your play-action pass becomes a little bit bigger and there’s where you’re seeing the yards per attempt really spike.” Pederson wasn’t giving out secrets, but he said he and his coaches had figured out a different way to use “12” personnel “to hopefully give us an advantage in the fall.”Antonio Brown seemed intrigued by the idea of playing with Carson Wentz on the Eagles - BGNIt’s cool that a future Hall of Fame talent like Brown was intrigued by the idea of playing with Wentz and actually name-dropped the Eagles quarterback.Fireside Chats #10: Dan Hatman On Scouting & The Dream Team - BGN RadioMichael Kist is joined by Dan Hatman, Director of The Scouting Academy and former Philadelphia Eagles’ scout, to talk about a day in the life of a scout and crack eggs of knowledge on your head about an experience he lived through, the Eagles’ infamous Dream Team experiment! Want to know more about The Scouting Academy? Visit their website! Presented by SB Nation & Bleeding Green Nation!The Eagles have gone back to their ‘old guy strategy’ for the third straight offseason - PhillyVoiceRoseman’s “old guy strategy” makes some sense, as he was able to acquire contributing role players at a low cost. It paid off big-time for the Eagles in their run to the Super Bowl in 2017. In 2018, however, the five old guys Roseman acquired missed a combined 30 games http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-paul-worrilow-jersey , which is a risk with older players, despite the aforementioned “science.” Those players were also largely ineffective when they were on the field, Bennett aside. Best two out of three in 2019, I guess.Eagles committed to greatness around Carson Wentz - PE.comFor the next decade, and hopefully longer, Wentz will be the Eagles’ quarterback and he’ll have a sustained period of success more prolific than any quarterback in franchise history. Included in the plan are Super Bowl wins, and that’s really where the commitment to Wentz means everything. It isn’t just enough that the Eagles will some day extend Wentz’s contract – Howie Roseman said on Monday that the Eagles very much have that plan in mind, with no timetable to announce – it’s that the Eagles want to make sure they give Wentz the kind of weapons that will make him successful. Those weapons include a great coaching staff, a quarterback-friendly scheme, terrific collaboration in the meeting rooms, a strong offensive line, weapons in the passing game, and a productive run game. The Eagles want to give Wentz the best of everything, knowing that he’s going to provide them the best he has to offer.Pederson: Wentz can lead; ‘he’s got it in his DNA’ - ESPNPhiladelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson believes Carson Wentz can grow as a teammate by being more “vulnerable” with his peers, a key part of the maturation process that he saw greats like Dan Marino and Brett Favre go through firsthand. ”First of all, I think everybody can be a better teammate. I can be a better coach. I think being a better teammate would just be sometimes being a little more vulnerable, being a little more accessible,” Pederson said at the owners meetings Tuesday. “You’re obviously committed to your craft, to developing your skill Womens Richard Rodgers Jersey , but it’s like you want to walk across the aisle and talk to the other side. And that’s all part of the maturation process and the growth process, and it’s something you learn through time.NFL Draft 2019: Lifelong Eagles fan Brandon Hitner lights up Villanova’s pro day workout - NJ.comBrandon Hitner was hard to miss. The 6-foot-6, 305-pound offensive lineman towered over his peers during Villanova’s pro day workout at NovaCare Complex on Monday. His size was notable but his performance was eye-opening.While he only managed 23 reps during bench press drills, Hitner’s athleticism shined in front of scouts from approximately 20 NFL teams. The massive lineman posted a 32.5-inch vertical jump and a 115.5-inch broad jump. Both marks would have placed Hitner within the top five offensive line performers at last month’s NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Hitner also ran a 5.16-second 40-yard dash.Giants discussing Josh Rosen as ‘rumors’ swirl around Cardinals’ plans - SNYThe Giants are planning to investigate every possible option when it comes to finding their Quarterback of the Future, and that includes a potential trade for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen. But here’s the thing: At the moment they have no idea if Rosen is, or ever will be, available. And nothing that happened at the NFL owners meetings this week has cleared that mystery up. Multiple Giants sources told SNY this week that all they’ve heard so far are “rumors” that the Cardinals plan to take Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray No. 1 overall and put Rosen on the block. They have certainly discussed the possibility internally, one source said, though those talks were extremely preliminary. They don’t even seem sure at the moment whether they’d prefer Rosen - the 10th overall pick a year ago -- to the quarterbacks in this year’s draft.6 top NFL pass-rushing prospects walk us through their favorite techniques for crushing quarterbacks - SB NationClemson has four defensive linemen who could wind up being selected in the 2019 NFL Draft, and Christian Wilkins is one who has a chance to go early. You might recognize his name from when he did the splits on camera after the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship, but Wilkins is one hell of a player in his own right. Wilkins said his favorite move to get to the quarterback really depends on the offensive lineman he’s facing. “Well, it depends on who I’m playing first and foremost. You know, every guy is different so you can work different moves depending on what’s more effective,” Wilkins said. After a bit of thought, Wilkins came up with an answer. “I feel like one of my go-tos is the flash chop or stab chop. It looks good on tape when you put it all together, and it looks real nice when it works.” That might not be a term that most fans are familiar with, so Wilkins broke it down a bit further....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
