NFL Season Preview: Eagles’ Wentz on spot with Bradford trade

Like the rest of their roster, Cleveland’s special teams experienced a ton of personnel turnover during the offseason, and it’s hard to say whether the unit is better or worse off as a result. Of course, we can help him as coaches in that regard.

He also needs to get familiar with the starting offense. “And to do that, sometimes you have to do things like this that aren’t so easy to do”.

Jackson is believed to have wanted Jared Goff but once it became clear that the Los Angeles Rams would take the Cal product at No. 1 overall, Cleveland shifted gears and moved down, picking up three picks from the Eagles in this year’s draft, along with a first-rounder in 2017 and their second-rounder in 2018.

– Other than that, there’s not much to get excited about with the Sixers, but give them credit for this: Unlike two other Philly teams, they’ve never considered bringing in Tim Tebow.

But Bradford was shipped to Minnesota last week, and Pederson thought enough of Wentz’s preseason to name him the Week 1 starter. We just called it something different.

We’ll all find out soon this weekend, but one thing’s for sure, the Fargo-Moorhead area and Bison fans all over will be glued to a television at noon Sunday watching either the Vikings open up with Tennessee or Wentz taking his first snaps under center as a National Football League starter.

In addition, Wentz missed the Eagles’ last three preseason games after fracturing two ribs.

Daniel said he was “a little disappointed” but knew rookie Carson Wentz was going to get the job. “I can’t wait till we get to Sunday”.

“Not every play is the play of the game”. He studies. He pays attention to detail. But at the same time, we rely on the people around him for input all the time.

Despite O’Brien’s success, relative to the era of football in which he played, Philadelphia has yet to start a rookie quarterback in Week 1 since – and it’s not for a lack of plausible options. They’re in his ear when he’s practicing and playing. “That’s probably why he’s going to be one of the all-time greats, and he’ll go down as one of the all-time greats and be in the Hall of Fame”. “He’s like for us possibly the fourth corner, the fifth corner right now going into the season”.

Even with Bradford, the Eagles were a borderline playoff team.

If this isn’t doesn’t prove he is a future franchise quarterback, why do teams even scout?

At the same time, we’ve got to be obviously smart in how we handle it. The Eagles wouldn’t have mortgaged a bevy of draft picks to trade up to No. 2 if that wasn’t the case.

Now he’ll be under center against the team that traded down in the draft instead of staying put and selecting him. That should spell it out for you right there. An undrafted free agent wide receiver from Louisiana Tech who has gone from total obscurity all the way to the practice squad, Paul Turner is all of us. With the Browns in a full-on rebuild mode, even greater than that being undertaken by the Eagles, Wentz would have been at a disadvantage if chosen to be Cleveland’s starter this year. “We feel like we had to find ways to improve this football team in an unconventional manner”.

I’m looking for there to be a bit of rust that Nelson will need to knock off after a season on the sidelines.
