Over the last few days, there has been a consensus ground swell among Philadelphia Eagles fans and some media members that veteran running back LeGarrette Blount may be on the roster bubble. Currently, Blount has a lowly 17 yards on nine carries through two preseason game. However, Eagles head coach Doug Pederson put those rumors to bed on Tuesday as he has big plans for the 30-year old back. According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, when asked about Blount's job security Pederson said "The guy's a beast of a runner." He also added that he expects Blount to be "a big part of the Eagles' offense." It would be foolish for the Eagles to even consider getting rid of Blount, based off his preseason struggles. Preseason games should be
"This guy's resilient, he's got a great attitude, great character, he's versatile. He's a guaranteed first-round pick. Thought that all along, but then the injury you thought maybe could be a factor. But the workouts solidified him. The tape, the workouts, the character, he's going in the first round said Mel Kiper.
Some fans are ready to cut or trade Jameis because he is not leading the Buccaneers to the promise land this year. Im not sure but I am certain that Jameis can not run the ball on running downs. Block on passing plays and play defense. Lets not just put all the blame on Jameis when it is a team game. He is the only quaterback that gets the critism when the team plays bad and get hit with a but when the team is playing well.
Now, although it’s rare for a rookie to take over the reigns of their new team during that first season, it does happen. Granted, most of the time it’s because the prospects for success evaporated. Since the team is going no where come playoff time, why continue to operate with a quarterback who is not the team’s future. This is the time many rookies get their chance, but for fantasy purposes, most still fall flat on their face.
This brings us to his future. For now he is going to stick with the falcons and continue as the star running back. He is not just doing this for himself, but he is doing it for his family. He is going to stay with them and pay for his sisters college. He does not want to get caught up in a contract dispute, because the only thing that matters to him is football and taking care of his family. Devonta Freeman only has one more year on his contract though, and we will see if he takes any offers. As far as his stats look, they look like they will keep improving, and be even more impressive than they already
Therefore, what do the Eagles do about this situation? It is a good spot to be in because in the NFL, you can never have too many running backs.
The former University of Florida and Wharton High School star has been told the right cornerback spot is his to lose. But when the Bucs go to their sub packages with five defensive backs, Hargreaves moves inside to the slot, showing the kind of versatility by a defensive back not seen in Tampa Bay since Ronde Barber retired.
Carson Wentz is the captain of the 2018 Super Bowl LII champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. He led the Eagles by clinching the NFC East title prior to tearing his ACL at the end of the Eagles conference season. It was only Wentz’s second year in the NFL and he had originally begun his career as a third string quarterback until this season. Wentz had brought the Eagles faith back again after leading the team to multiple victories in the 2017 season. Although Wentz was unable to play for his team in the Super Bowl due to his ACL injury, he still supported and rooted for his team every game. When Nick Foles had taken over for Wentz, Wentz did not give up hope or feel down about himself. He than helped Nick Foles by continuing to motivate him any
There was no clear-cut number 1 in that offense, and to be honest they didn't need it. Both players were outstanding given their skillsets and I fully believe the Buccaneers are looking to duplicate that same type of responsibility. Luckily for us, Ingram looks to be suspended for the first few games so that's a little reassuring for us come week 1.
There was some concern about Wendell Smallwood character who was arrested back in 2014. Smallwood was charged with trying to get a witness to recant statements that implicated a friend of Smallwood's in a 2012 fatal shooting in Wilmington. Those charges were dropped. Smallwood was able to lead the Big 12 in rushing with 1,519 yards, with 9 TD’s and added 8 games with 100 or more yards. Smallwood was able to run a 4.47 at the 40 yard dash at the combine which gave him the 5th fast time for running backs and was also The Top Performer in the 3 cone drill and 60 yard shuttle. Smallwood can also catch the ball out of the backfield. Smallwood should rotate with Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles next season. The Eagles have been adding offensive lineman this off-season both in FA and Draft which will help the Running game.
We have explored several corner prospects over the past few weeks. Each would be a tremendous upgrade to what is already on the Steelers roster.
Washington Redskins Miscues And Dropped Passes In 2017 Could Have Quarterback Kirk Cousins Heading For The Exit.
I am a fan of Philadelphia sports and have watched and followed Carson Wentz since he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles and have payed close attention to Wentz for the last 7 months.
Since this is only his rookie season there is lots of room for improvement. I believe that he can make it to the hall of fame. But it is crucial that he stays at the Cowboys. First of all our fanbase is huge and supportive. Second of all we have the best offensive line in football. If you do not have good blockers your running back would go no where. Hopefully he can be better than Emmitt Smith.
Since then, the former Univ. of Washington standout has been practicing with the team over the last few weeks. However, Jones' practice time is winding up as this week the Eagles have to either add him to the 53-man or place him on the injured reserve, meaning no chance for him to get snaps in the playoffs.
Russell Wilson has a lot of potential to be a very successfull quarterback in the NFL. He was picked by Seattle in the third round in 2012. He has been playing for Seattle for six years. Wilson is one of the shortest quarterbacks standing at 5 foot 11 in tall. Being that short has a disadvantage, one of them is it’s hard to see over a 6 foot 5 in tall lineman. An advantage to being short is that he is abile to weave in and out of small places better than a taller quarterback. Even though he has that disadvantage it doesn’t stop him from creating big plays. Russell Wilson has competed in two Super Bowls, winning the first one but coming up short in the second one after throwing a pick to the Patriots. The other four years he wasn’t in the
