Over. Wentz was on pace for over 4,000 yards in each of the past two seasons before being sidelined by injuries. Really, this is a question about whether he’s going to stay on the field for 13-plus games this season. The bet here is that he does. He looks as healthy as we’ve seen him since 2017, has made adjustments to his diet and workout regimen, and appears wiser in terms of play approach after suffering season-ending injuries in back-to-back seasons.Eagles Question of the Day: Who is your favorite former Eagles player? - BGNOk, so yesterday we talked about all of our favorite current Eagles players — which was a hard enough task, in my opinion. Today, I want to take things a little further back. If having to pick one of 90 wasn’t challenging enough, having to pick through so many talented rosters over the duration of the Eagles franchise is just painful. My gut reaction is to go with Brian Dawkins, because who better represents the hear and soul of the team? No one, quite honestly. But then, I start thinking about David Akers, and how fun it was to watch Michael Vick, and that this is where I can finally name Chris Long as the guy — regardless of how recent his departure from the team is.Around the League - Iggles BlitzWhat about Pederson for the second best NFL coach? Pederson was brilliant in 2017. Last year he had to deal with a short offseason Youth Paul Worrilow Jerseys , coaching changes and unbelievable injuries. Pederson still got the Eagles to the playoffs and they came close to getting back to the NFC title game. Some doubters think the loss of Frank Reich will still be felt this year and that his loss has greatly affected Pederson. I think looking back on 2018 you can see there were a lot of issues to deal with and Pederson did a better job than many people understood. There is no question that he’s a good coach. I think 2019 will give us a better idea of just how good he is.Every NFL team’s X-factor entering the 2019 season - PFFAvonte Maddox struggled from a grading perspective as a rookie last season but did show a penchant for limiting receivers in his coverage. In fact, he led all cornerbacks by allowing a reception just once every 21.7 snaps he spent in coverage and limited opposing quarterbacks to a passer rating of just 59.9 when targeted.Duce Staley breaks down Philadelphia Eagles running backs, including Jordan Howard, Miles Sanders and more - PennLiveStaley on Clement: “Yeah, I missed Corey, I really do. I miss Corey. He’s one of those passionate guys that plays with attitude. He comes out, he’s excited, he’s always smiling. He loves the game, and I think it was difficult just for him, just coming off the Super Bowl, of course — in my opinion, it could have been if Nick didn’t play through the roof of course he might have been the MVP — you never know. So coming off a game like that, being able to now see a guy like him on the rise and being able to face an injury. I felt what he was going through, had a chance to talk to him periodically, communicate with him to try to keep his spirits up of course, but mentally Youth Derek Barnett Jerseys , he’s tough. Physically, right now, he looks good out there running, so I can’t wait to get him back.”The NFL in a Small Town - FMIAPeter King is on vacation until July 15, and he lined up some guest writers to fill his Monday spot on Football Morning in America. Today, it’s Hugh Royal of Richfield, Idaho, who was selected out of a few hundred readers who submitted essays on why they wanted to be an FMIA guest columnist.The United States beat France with a defense that refused to quit - All For XIFrance couldn’t find their way past the United States backline, whether that was by dribble or with balls over the top. Julie Ertz dropped back into the defensive line which gave the United States one more level of protection. The shape was a 5-4-1 and even though France finished the game with 20 shots to the United States’ 10 shots, only five of France’s chances were on net, compared to eight for the US.Sixers sign Al Horford to 4-year deal - Liberty BallersFollowing the sign-and-trade that sent Jimmy Butler to Miami for Josh Richardson, the Sixers had enough cap space to make one more major move in free agency. They then wasted no time in revealing that major move to be former Celtics big man Al Horford. [BLG Note: Lots of Sixers stuff going on over at LB!]Is it Beyoncé’s fault the 49ers lost their only Super Bowl appearance in the last 25 years? - SB NationWhen Beyoncé took the stage at Super Bowl 47, the San Francisco 49ers were already in a 21-6 hole. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco threw three first-half touchdowns and the San Francisco offense was struggling to keep up. The good news for the 49ers was they had a propensity for picking up the pace after halftime. San Francisco outscored opponents by 28 points in the first half in 2012 and 114 points in the second half. Just two weeks before the Super Bowl, they clawed back from a 17-0 deficit to beat the Falcons in the NFC Championship Game. So while Beyoncé was out performing an extravagant halftime show with a mini Destiny’s Child reunion, San Francisco was prepping for its comeback....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 With eight coaching vacancies making the head coach market a seller’s one, teams are turning over every stone to try to find “the next Sean McVay” (and to a lesser extent Derek Barnett Jerseys Stitched , Kyle Shanahan).It’s reached the point where the Cardinals have hired Kliff Kingsbury. Taking over a Texas Tech program that had 20 straight winning seasons and missed just three bowl games in that span, he missed three bowl games and had four losing seasons. At 35-40, he has the second worst winning percentage in Texas Tech history. He had Baker Mayfield, who left after one season citing poor to non-existent communication from Kingsbury, and Patrick Mahomes, who he went 13-16 with. Kingsbury has no NFL coaching experience, the track record of NFL head coaches hired with no NFL experience is poor, as is the track record of coaches with mediocre at best head coaching careers. There were 24 college head coach openings besides Texas Tech, none of them wanted him, he landed at USC as the offensive coordinator. What is the appeal of Kingsbury? He took over a respectable, stable and successful Texas Tech program that, having played there, he knew innately, and was one of the worst coaches they ever had. He alienated Mayfield after one season, in part because he didn’t recognize the talent he had, and he did squat with Mahomes. But he’s young and an offensive coach Youth Wilbert Montgomery Jerseys , so that makes him the next McVay.The Packers at least went to the McVay and Shanahan well in hiring Matt LaFleur, who coached under both. LaFleur at least has credible resume items. He was Matt Ryan’s position coach in his MVP season, and then the next year with the Rams was the (non-playcalling) offensive coordinator for the highest scoring team in the league. Head coaches have been hired with less impressive credentials, but LaFleur’s greatest selling point appears to be that having worked for Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan, he is the logical Next McVay or Shanahan. Maybe he was also able to name all the starters.Meanwhile, no one is looking for The Next Doug Pederson. To be fair, it’s hard to define exactly what The Next Doug Pederson is for identification purposes. Pederson’s strengths are in play calling, aggressiveness, and leadership, most of which are not clearly attributable to an assistant coach, and his resume prior to being hired as a head coach was relatively thin.But that’s beside the point. The league never tires of finding the “hot” candidate, which for the past two seasons is someone who replicates the idea of Sean McVay or Kyle Shanahan. McVay’s Rams are fun to watch, but he’s come up short against other teams with Super Bowl aspirations. Last year he lost to both the Eagles and Vikings, the top two seeds in the NFC, this season in addition to losing to the Eagles again he lost to the Saints and Bears, the two highest non-Rams seeds in the NFC Wilbert Montgomery Jerseys Stitched , though the Rams did beat the Chiefs and Chargers. Shanahan took over a bad 49ers team and has been dealt some key injuries, but San Francisco went backwards this year. Both coaches still have the bulk of their careers ahead of them, but so far the realities of their head coaching careers haven’t caught up to the ideas of them, yet teams are looking for carbon copies.Meanwhile Doug Pederson just keeps winning. He’s won four straight playoff games with his backup quarterback leading a team littered with injuries, developed his starter into an MVP candidate, and he single-handedly changed the league’s attitude towards fourth downs. If that wasn’t enough, Frank Reich, the Matt LaFleur to his Sean McVay, is also coaching this weekend. But no one appears to be looking for the next coach who will embrace analytics and push the envelope, and bring strong leadership. They just want a coach under 40 who’s coached some quarterbacks in some capacity.No one knows who will be a great head coach until they’re a head coach. Pederson was widely considered the worst hire of 2016, he’s the only one left standing and one of the best coaches in the league. Matt LaFleur might be a great head coach. Kliff Kingsbury could have an incredible NFL career ahead of him, and an Air Raid disciple running an NFL has potential to be exciting. But if you’re going to look to emulate a coach because of the last two seasons, shouldn’t you look to the one who’s been the most successful?
