PHILADELPHIA (AP) — While the offense finds it rhythm
Brian Dawkins Jersey , the Philadelphia Eagles know they can count on a smothering defense.Falcons again
in their season opener and now have a few extra days rest before hitting the
road next week. Three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Fletcher Cox dominated
while playing 93 percent of the snaps in the 18-12 victory.“It’s a credit to him
and how well he’s worked in the offseason and obviously in training camp,” coach
Doug Pederson said Friday. “Fletcher is a tremendous, tremendous player. He’s a
strong, powerful guy, very disruptive in the pocket. Those are things that you
like to see from your top players.”The Falcons were held to 299 total yards,
including 74 rushing. Ryan struggled most of the night, going 21 of 43 for 251
yards and one interception.Philadelphia’s defense did its best work inside the
red zone. Kamu Grugier-Hill stopped Devonta Freeman on fourth down from the 1 on
the opening series and need a stand to seal the win. The defense forced Ryan to
throw four straight incomplete passes from the 10 on the final possession only
to have a penalty give the Falcons one more chance from the 5. Ronald Darby
prevented Julio Jones from making a catch in the left corner of the end zone on
the last play .“We put a big emphasis on red zone,” safety Malcolm Jenkins said.
“Our scheme is pretty simple, we’re really good at what we do, we detail every
small thing, and we trust our players. When we get down to it, it’s nothing
complex or anything. We just do our jobs and we trust our matchups. Obviously
guys show up, and it’s been crucial for our team.”The offense took a while to
get going after a shaky preseason in which most starters didn’t play much. With
Carson Wentz still recovering from knee surgery and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery
also sidelined, the unit was out of sync.Nick Foles wasn’t sharp but played
mistake-free until a pass bounced out of rookie Dallas Goedert’s hands and went
right to Atlanta’s Deion Jones. But Pederson turned to his trick plays and
called Foles’ number in the third quarter to invigorate the offense and the
crowd. Nelson Agholor’s 15-yard pass to Foles extended a drive that ended with
Jay Ajayi’s first of two TD runs.“I knew the play was going to be effective
based on what the Falcons had been showing up in that situation, and I needed it
to work and be a spark for the offense,” Pederson said. “I try not to do things
as conventional at times, but at the same time, I want to make sure that I’m
doing the best for the football team and giving us a chance to succeed.”The
Eagles will play at Tampa Bay on Sept. 16. They came out of the opener without
any significant injuries and will get linebacker Nigel Bradham back against the
Buccaneers. He served a one-game suspension Thursday night. Philadelphia Eagles

coaches in the NFL are up 1,000% from four years agoKirby Lee-USA TODAY
SportsLet’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...How the NFL is working to
expand the number of female coaches - ESPNWIn early March, the Bucs became the
first team in NFL history to hire two full-time female coaches in assistant
defensive line coach Lori Locust and assistant strength and conditioning coach
Maral Javadifar. That came less than four years after Arians made history by
hiring the first female coach, Jen Welter, as a training camp intern in 2015.
Since then, the NFL has slowly been opening its doors to more female coaches. In
the four years since Welter broke the barrier, 10 NFL coaches have hired women
as interns or full-time coaches. ”It’s our responsibility now to continue to
find and develop that talent pool that’s out there,” Locust told ESPN. “I talked
to a lot of people about this. The last thing we want to do collectively is be
looked at as not credible or not earning this opportunity. And I think that’s
where the responsibility is right now.” Last season, the NFL had 10 female
coaches -- three full-time and seven interns. That was twice as many as in 2017
and 1,000 percent growth from four years ago, when Welter was the only woman
coaching in the league. [BLG Note: Doug Pederson had the following to say about
female coaches back at the NFL owners meetings — “That’s what you’re seeing in
professional sports. ??I think it’s a great opportunity for them, and they have
to go through the process just like hiring a male coach. So if someone’s
qualified to handle a position, then I would be all for it. Right now my staff’s
full, obviously, but I’m encouraged with the direction the league is
moving.”]The Kist & Solak Show #90: NFL Draft Positional Rankings - BGN

PhillyVoiceHowever, if I were to throw a dart at a player who could intrigue
them either late in the draft or in the undrafted free agency portion of the
draft, it would be Donald Parham of Stetson University (of Ray Finkle fame,
class of 1980). Parham is 6’8, 243
Womens Rasul Douglas Jersey , with 36 1/8” arms and 10 1/2” hands who caught 85 passes in 2018 for 1319 yards and 13 TDs.Solak: EDGE Rankings - The
Draft NetworkClelin Ferrell: EDGE, Clemson. Ferrell isn’t a thrilling player,
but he’s a fine and well-rounded one, who should immediately step in as a
starter regardless of the scheme that selects him. Ferrell’s at his best with
his hand in the dirt, and often wins in the first three steps with great initial
hand usage, multiple inside counters, and a wonderful feel for timing and space.
Dude’s as smart of a rusher as you’ll see come out of college. Ferrell’s a
little stiff, and tested like an average athlete, so he’s not a high ceiling
player and might be better served as the EDGE2 on his future squad. But you need
two guys who can get after the quarterback anyway, so he has a lot of value.Meet
The Prospect: DT Dre’Mont Jones - PE.comFran Duffy goes to the film to break
down Ohio State defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones and why the former Buckeye is
one of the most intriguing interior pass rushers in the upcoming NFL
Draft.Eagles NFL draft options at No. 25: DT Ed Oliver - NBCSPOliver might need
to put on some more weight to last in the NFL, but you just can’t overlook his
athleticism and ability to get after the passer from an interior defensive line
spot. Interior line pressure has become more vital in the NFL in recent years
and Oliver projects to be a great pass-rusher. There was that silly jacket
incident at Houston and teams probably wanted to sit down and talk with Oliver
to get to know him as a person. The tape speaks to what kind of player he is. He
had good production at Houston and eye-popping ability. For a while, it looked
like Oliver was set to take a tumble in the first round, but now that’s harder
to imagine. If Oliver starts to make it past 10 and into the mid teens, the
Eagles need to make a call to see how much it would take.Tyrann Mathieu: Russell
Wilson wants New York - PFT“Russ wants New York,” Mathieu wrote. “But you ain’t
heard that from T.” But we just did hear that from T, and while it would be easy
to blow this off as a late-night tweet from a player who’s in no position to
know the facts, Mathieu has spoken many times of how much respect he has for
Wilson. It seems unlikely that Mathieu would go off half-cocked about a player
he respects so much. And, of course, Mathieu is far from the first person to
suggest a Wilson-New York link. Rumors of Wilson eventually joining the Giants
have been discussed many times this offseason. Wilson joining New York’s other
team
Mack Hollins Jersey , the Jets, won’t happen because the Jets have Sam Darnold, but the Giants will be moving on from Eli Manning sooner rather than
later.Redskins LB Reuben Foster fined two game checks, but not suspended by the
NFL - Hogs HavenThe NFL announced today that Redskins LB Reuben Foster will be
fined two games, but will not face any suspension for his domestic violence
arrest last year. All charges were dropped in this case. Foster was on the NFL
Commissioner’s Exempt List and missed the final 5 games of the 2018 sesson. The
49ers released Foster after the incident occurred at the team’s hotel. The
Redskins claimed him on waiver’s in hopes of acquiring the talented young
linebacker.How Kim Miale became a trailblazing NFL agent with a star-studded
client list - SB NationKim Miale isn’t just making her mark as one of the few
women in the sports agency world. She’s making history, too. During the 2018 NFL
Draft, her client Saquon Barkley went No. 2 overall to the New York Giants, the
highest a player represented by a woman has ever been selected. But her work
doesn’t stop there. She’s also currently the agent for players like Pittsburgh’s
JuJu Smith-Schuster, Dez Bryant, Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley,
Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise, and Chargers defensive end Isaac Rochell.
Roc Nation also represents the Rams’ Todd Gurley, and Jacksonville’s Leonard
Fournette. Roc Nation encourages agents to focus on a select few clients per
draft class. Last year, it was Barkley, who went on to win the NFL’s offensive
rookie of the year award following his 2,028-yard, 15-touchdown season. In her
sixth year of working at Roc Nation, Miale will be representing Stanford running
back Bryce Love....Social Media Information:BGN Facebook Page: Click here to
