Carson Wentz back Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ... Sunday a reminder of why the Eagles need Carson Wentz - ESPNThe NFL season is a long Authentic Sidney Jones Jersey , hard slog, and to consistently win in this game of attrition, you need a QB who can regularly rise above the unavoidable adversity and make the improbable happen. Foles showed that he can do that in the biggest of moments, and through the bulk of a playoff run. But his history also shows that it comes and goes, which can be problematic when it comes to successfully navigating a 16-game slate, year after year. Wentz needs to prove that he can stay healthy, but there’s little doubt in the building and around the league that he can be that rare, game-altering franchise quarterback when in the lineup. With the teeth of the Eagles’ schedule on the horizon, and a repeat on their minds, they’re going to need him.12 things we learned from the Eagles’ loss to the Buccaneers - BGNBig takeaways from the Eagles’ loss.The Gowton & Solak Show Recaps Eagles-Bucs - BGN RadioBrandon Lee Gowton and Benjamin Solak have you covered with their reaction show to the Eagles stunning loss to the Bucs... The weapons are paper thin and in-game injuries made a bad situation worse. Ben takes issue with the defensive game-plan relying too much on the pass rush. Home-road splits foretold this, but we didn’t listen. BLG defends Foles? What world is this? The eventual Josh Gordon debate. Plus looking at the rest of the NFC contenders and why the loss isn’t as bad as it may seem.Handing out 10 awards from the Eagles-Buccaneers game - PhillyVoiceThe Eagles had nothing in the way of a deep threat that the Bucs had to respect, so they played the Eagles similarly to the way most teams played them in 2016. They tried (successfully, mostly) to take away the intermediate parts of the field, limiting the effectiveness and yards after catch opportunities for legitimate NFL targets such as Nelson Agholor and Zach Ertz.Eagles Go Down - Iggles BlitzWe have not seen good Nick Foles this season. His numbers were much better today (35-48-334 with 1 TD), but he was still highly erratic. There was a screen to Zach Ertz that the defense read perfectly. Foles threw the ball into heavy traffic. It was deflected and somehow fell to the ground. That easily could have been picked off. A veteran QB has to know to just throw that ball away. That was beyond dumb. There were other plays where Foles threw the ball short. Sometimes that was by design, but other times it seemed like he couldn’t make up his mind and just dumped the ball off. Short passes can be a weapon when done right. That wasn’t the case today.Thank you, Nick Foles, but it’s Carson Wentz time - InquirerWentz is the franchise. He was arguably the NFL’s MVP before tearing the ACL and LCL ligaments in his knee in December. And he has the ability, barring further injury and some unforeseen setback in his development, to one day become the league’s best player. He will make the Eagles better. But he won’t rescue a team that has yet to gain its footing on both sides of the ball, particularly on offense Youth Malcolm Jenkins Jersey , and a team that continues to be bitten by injuries. ”If and when Carson comes back, he’ll add a spark,” tight end Zach Ertz said. “He’s one of the best players in the league. But we can’t expect him to just put a Superman cape on and be his old self. He’s going to be rusty.”The Day After: Turning the page to Carson Wentz, where he can help the Eagles and where he can’t - The AthleticThe Wentz from 2017 is absolutely capable of making up for shortcomings elsewhere on the offense. But again, it’s very possible that he won’t look like the same guy right away. The improvisational plays outside the structure of the offense might not be available to Wentz right away. But there’s another side to this too that should work in his favor. Wentz has had another offseason with this offense and has been learning its intricacies, having discussions with Pederson and making suggestions. From a football IQ standpoint, Wentz was already advanced. But now, he’ll be even further along in terms of changing plays at the line of scrimmage and getting the Eagles in the right looks. Wentz can’t do anything about the defense (more on that below), but he’s the reason why the disappointment from Sunday’s loss should be short-lived this week and replaced with a sense of optimism.Too Little, Too Late For Eagles In First Loss - PE.comThe defense? Hopefully, it was a rare blip. After the dominating performance in Week 1 against Atlanta, the defense allowed a pair of 75-yard touchdown passes and four of them, in total, to Fitzpatrick, whose thrown eight touchdown passes in Tampa Bay’s 2-0 start. The takeaways from this one? The defense couldn’t get its claws into Fitzpatrick, who did an excellent job getting the football out before the pass rush could reach him. The Eagles didn’t cover well enough on the back end, allowing a whopping 402 passing yards to Fitzpatrick, who completed 27 of 33 passes. Jackson had 129 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown on the game’s first play from scrimmage, on four receptions. Evans caught 10 passes for 83 yards. Tight end O.J. Howard had a 75-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown and Chris Godwin had five receptions for 56 yards and a score.Refocused, NFL Week 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27 http://www.eaglesauthorizedshops.com/authentic-brandon-graham-jersey , Philadelphia Eagles 21 - PFFPhiladephia’s offense failed to find a rhythm despite Nick Foles finishing with over 300 yards through the air. Foles was hit quite a bit by the Bucs defensive line, sometimes via breakdowns in pass protection while others were because Foles held the ball too long. Foles best moment came via a corner route for a touchdown to late in the fourth quarter, threading the ball in between two Buccaneer defenders.Missing key players, Eagles just didn’t have enough firepower vs. Buccaneers - NBCSPIn a pirate-themed stadium, with cannons all over place, the Eagles simply didn’t have enough firepower. They entered Sunday afternoon’s 27-21 loss to the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium without Carson Wentz, Alshon Jeffery and Darren Sproles. Then Mike Wallace and Jason Peters left early, and Jay Ajayi missed a significant portion of the afternoon. The Eagles brought a cap gun to a cannon fight. While Ryan Fitzpatrick was throwing to DeSean Jackson, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Nick Foles was throwing to Josh Perkins, Kamar Aiken and Shelton Gibson. See the problem?Players Make Plays, and Patrick Mahomes Has Made a Perfect 10 For The High-Flying Chiefs - FMIAI think I’m not trying to be Mr. Negative here, but the Giants looked so bad Sunday night, and so incapable of protecting Eli Manning and blocking for Saquon Barkley, that I could see them starting 0-7. On the docket the next five weeks: at Houston, where the 0-2 Texans will be a desperate team in the home opener; New Orleans at home; at Carolina, with a formidable rush; the Eagles and their deep defensive front on a short-week Thursday at home, and then at Atlanta on a Monday night.Bortles Unchained, Mahomes Unstoppable: Week 2 Was For Making Statements - The MMQB The Jaguars slayed their dragon (New England) by giving their quarterback the green light with the game on the line, while the Chiefs got a second straight touchdown eruption from the kid they’ve put their trust in. Plus notes and analysis on Josh Gordon’s fate, Matt Ryan’s Falcons Rodney McLeod Jersey , that Clay Matthews call, the kicking chaos and more on another frenetic Sunday in the NFL.The Winners and Losers From NFL Week 2 - The RingerVontae Davis got sick of losing, and for that, he’s a winner. Plus: Keelan Cole is the NFL’s unlikeliest no. 1 wideout, Ryan Fitzpatrick is swaggering like a superstar, and a dreadful day for kicking leads to another tie.Clay Matthews’ controversial roughing the passer call on Kirk Cousins has everyone confused - SB NationThe Green Bay Packers looked to have their game against the Minnesota Vikings locked up after Kirk Cousins threw an interception down by eight points with 1:45 left on the clock. Instead, Packers linebacker Clay Matthews was called for roughing the passer, a penalty that extended the drive and allowed the Vikings to tie the game....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 During the end-of-the-season press conference on Tuesday, Eagles EVP of football operations Howie Roseman talked about areas of interest in the upcoming NFL Draft, and he identified that it could be a historic class for defensive ends and tackle. Interestingly, he also said that it was a bit weaker in terms of top-tier quarterback and running back prospects.With injuries plaguing the running back position for the Eagles throughout the 2018 season, and the uncertainty of Darren Sproles’ retirement and Jay Ajayi’s upcoming free agency, it’s definitely a position that could use some depth in 2019. And it doesn’t look like 2019 is the year to need to add rushers to your roster.Already a young RB groupThere was some promise shown by the younger guys on the roster at times this season, including four guys still playing on their first and/or rookie contracts. Wendell Smallwood is heading into his fourth and final year on his rookie deal.Corey Clement was undrafted in 2017, but signed to a 3-year deal with the Eagles.Donnel Pumphrey was drafted by the Eagles in 2017, but has been on and off the team’s practice squad since and has battled through a couple injuries already. He did, however, recently sign a reserve/future contract with the team.Josh Adams was an undrafted rookie for the team in 2018, and will be an ERFA in 2020.While Roseman said they weren’t interested in creating a youth movement for the team, it certainly seems at running back that they’ve got few other options. Jay Ajayi was a big contributor in the Super Bowl run in 2017, which makes it easy to forget that he was set to play on the final year of his rookie contract in 2018 before being placed on IR. So really Authentic Lane Johnson Jersey , that’s five of the team’s six rushers with four or fewer years of experience, not to mention Ajayi is an unrestricted free agent this year, and the one veteran (Darren Sproles) may or may not retire.That’s not exactly a deep group.Free agent marketAccording to the fine folks at Sportrac, here’s a list of the top UFA running backs available this spring — aside from Ajayi and Sproles. There are some obvious veterans who may also decide to retire this offseason, but proven leaders like Frank Gore, LeGarrette Blount and Marshawn Lynch will be on the market. Some other interesting names include Tevin Coleman, and familiar face Kenjon Barner, and of course you’ve got a guy who is certainly divisive, Le’Veon Bell.All of this is to say, I wouldn’t be surprised if Roseman dipped his toe in the free agent pool this offseason as he tries to add some depth at running back. Especially once we learn the fate of Sproles and his seriousness in returning.2019 UFA Running BacksPlayerAgeTeamGames (2018)SnapsYardsTDs2018 AAVPlayerAgeTeamGames (2018)SnapsYardsTDs2018 AAVUpcoming Draft ClassAs Howie alluded to on Tuesday, the running back class for this year’s draft isn’t nearly as stacked as prior years. The Eagles probably have other priorities, which means they wouldn’t even look to take a rusher until Day 2 or 3, which further limits their options of getting a top-tier, Day 1 ready player.Bryce Love out of Stanford was a very interesting option, but we recently learned that he tore his ACL in the final game of his collegiate career, which causes it’s own level of concern.2019 Draftable RBsPLAYERSCHOOLYEARHTWTPLAYERSCHOOLYEARHTWT
