| after the 21-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers that his players would galvanize over the rest of the season and grow closer.What better way to achieve that goal than to have them spend nearly four days together in a foreign country?“I think this trip right here is a great time for us to be away as a football team [url=http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-destiny-vaeao-jersey]Womens Destiny Vaeao Jersey[/url] ,” Pederson said Friday as the Eagles prepare to face the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London. “That’s obviously something that we need — being together like this for a couple days.”Philadelphia (3-4) fell to its third loss in four games after they collapsed late, giving up a 17-0 lead against the Panthers after three quarters before allowing 21 unanswered points.That fourth-quarter muzzling was troublesome for both the offense and the defense. The Eagles won the Super Bowl last season in part because they had one of the highest-scoring units in the NFL, but they have scored only 22 points per game this season, nearly six points off last season’s pace, and their pass defense has allowed 269.7 yards a game, the ninth-worst in the league.Losing starting safety Rodney McLeod to a season-ending knee injury in Week 3, and his replacement, Corey Graham, to a hamstring injury a week later, certainly hasn’t done Philadelphia’s secondary any favors.But after losing all four games this season by a touchdown or less [url=http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-corey-graham-jersey]Corey Graham Jersey[/url] , including three of the last four by a combined nine points, quarterback Carson Wentz believes the trip across the Atlantic can be a springboard for success.“I mean, as a quarterback and just the leaders in general, it’s really on a lot of us to get everyone going again and recognize that record … doesn’t matter,” Wentz said. “The goal is to go 1-0 every week, and especially the division we’re in, that’s kind of wide open. At this point in the year, not where we want to be, but we still have the whole season in front of us.”Philadelphia’s opponent, the Jaguars (3-4) [url=http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-corey-clement-jersey]http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-corey-clement-jersey[/url] , will be playing in London for the sixth consecutive season and have won their last three games at Wembley.Pederson said the familiarity of the international trip may help them, but after making the trip as the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator in 2015, he doesn’t believe it provides much of an advantage.“I mean, they’re familiar with the city and familiar with the travel … but I think both teams are in the same situation today, feeling the same things,” Pederson said.He also drew parallels between the Eagles’ trip to London and their week last year in Los Angeles, where they stayed between road games against the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams.Wentz, who tore the ACL in his left knee after the win over the Rams, joked that he hoped the outcome on Sunday wouldn’t be similar to the one last season.But he did recognize Pederson’s point and hopes the intangible benefits will one day pay off.“It’s a unique week,” Wentz said. “Bonding over here is definitely a big plus on trips like this [url=http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-desean-jackson-jersey]Womens DeSean Jackson Jersey[/url] , for sure.”Notes: RB Jay Ajayi, who was born in London and moved to Maryland when he was 7, joined the Eagles for the trip despite tearing the ACL in his left knee in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Oct. 7. Ajayi, who played in his hometown last season for the Miami Dolphins, was honored with an exhibit at the Museum of London on Wednesday. … Pederson said Graham and NT Haloti Ngata (calf) are likely to be game-time decisions on Sunday.

EDTShareTweetShareShareHere’s what anonymous executives had to say about the Eagles’ 2019 NFL Draft picksKirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsOne of my favorite post-NFL Draft activities is looking at what actual NFL executives think of the players the Philadelphia Eagles selected.This post features quotes from various football personnel people by way of ESPN In$ider’s Mike Sando, The Athletic’s Sheil Kapadia, Bob McGinn’s annual draft series, and NFL.com’s draft profiles written by Lance Zierlein.Without further ado, let’s take a look at what league insiders had to say about the Eagles’ five picks from the 2019 NFL Draft.ANDRE DILLARDA number of NFL scouts believe Dillard wasn’t just the best tackle in this year’s class; they had him as their top overall offensive lineman. Via McGinn’s rankings:Here’s what an executive told ESPN about Dillard:The note about Dillard being “a year away” isn’t a huge concern for the Eagles since Dillard can theoretically sit behind Jason Peters for a year. Dillard should greatly benefit from the tutelage of Peters and offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland.MILES SANDERSSanders was the second running back selected in this year’s draft. The scouts McGinn talked to collectively ranked him fourth best:Kapadia shared this quote from an executive outside the NFC East:From Zierlein:From ESPN: I’d like to think I see both sides of the Sanders coin. On one side [url=http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-cameron-johnston-jersey]Cameron Johnston Jersey[/url] , it seems like there’s untapped potential for the Eagles to work with. On the other, you wonder if he’ll actually reach that ceiling. I’m excited to see Sanders play for this team. But the concerns expressed here hold me back from feeling like this pick was some kind of home run selection.JJ ARCEGA-WHITESIDEJJAW was the sixth wide receiver selected in this year’s draft. The scouts McGinn talked to collectively ranked him 11th best:From Zierlein:From ESPN: On the note that JJAW might be faster than people think, BGN’s Michael Kist recently said: “Not only did he a run a 4.49 at his pro day, but I’ve been told at least two scouts there had him timed at 4.38 and 4.39 respectively.” I wonder how much JJAW’s ability to separate really matters when he’s so dominant at the catch point. The Eagles clearly believe that skill can translate to the NFL. We’ll see if they’re right.SHAREEF MILLERFrom The Athletic:From Zierlein:I don’t think the Eagles will be counting on Miller to make a huge immediate impact. Brandon Graham, Derek Barnett, and Vinny Curry will all be ahead of him on the depth chart. Assuming Chris Long retires, Miller’s realistic best case scenario is that he becomes the fourth defensive end. CLAYTON THORSONFrom McGinn:Well, the Eagles were the team that bit.Maybe the excuses made for Thorson are legitimate. But SB Nation’s study shows that college quarterbacks with such poor stats rarely ever improve at the NFL level. The Eagles are betting on the exception with Thorson. UNDRAFTED FREE AGENTSHere some quotes on two of the Eagles’ free agent signings, via Zierlein:T.J. EDWARDSIs that you, Ken Flajole? Edwards will push for a roster spot. He seems like a practice squad candidate at the very least. NATE HERBIGHerbig is one of three notable undrafted free agent guards the Eagles signed. The team is clearly looking to boost their interior offensive line depth. Herbig could be a practice squad candidate if he needs more time to develop. HASSAN RIDGEWAYThe Eagles traded pick No. 246 to the Colts in exchange for fourth-year defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway. ESPN had a good note on that:Defensive tackle depth was a big issue for the the Eagles last year. They’re looking a lot better at that spot this year with Fletcher Cox [url=http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-paul-worrilow-jersey]http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-paul-worrilow-jersey[/url] , Malik Jackson, Jernigan, Ridgeway, and Treyvon Hester potentially making the team. |
