Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links…
Eagles’ Kellen Moore returns to Dallas, still a PowerPoint expert and accurate crime talker – The Athletic
And with Moore returning to Texas for the first time since his departure in 2023, it’s worth revisiting his roots. The traits that launched Moore’s early success are still what make him a crafty coordinator, say those who coached and played with him. Some still believe he will become a head coach one day. They remember a quiet coach whose mischief manifested itself in deceptive plays, a hypersensitive movie junkie who still attracted others. They recognize the family investment of a high school coach’s son in Eagles players like Saquon Barkley, and they don’t downplay the importance of calling up Moore to play against his former team. “I’m sure he’ll be very excited to play for them,” said Skip Pitt, who coached running backs with Moore in Dallas. “I guarantee he’ll have a few tricks up his sleeve.”
5 Things to Watch for When the Cowboys Host the Eagles on Sunday – The Boys Blog
1. Kelin’s revenge. In three of his four seasons as Cowboys offensive coordinator, Kellen Moore’s teams have finished in the top six in points, with the only exception being the 2020 season when they were missing Dak Prescott for most of the year. Twice as OC, the Cowboys were all-time best in offensive yards. Love him or hate him, his record in Dallas was impressive. Moore now leads an Eagles offense that ranks in the top 10 in net passing yards and rushing yards per attempt. Moore loves to confuse defenses and is known for using a lot of movement. The eagle’s movement rate of 58.6% is the highest since 2018 (courtesy of NextGenStats). Don’t be surprised if the former Cowboys coach has a few wrinkles up his sleeve because he’ll make his guys zig when you expect them to zag.
The Eagles have passed the midterms – BGN
Eagles 6-2. It is good. #analysis. But seriously, this is really good. As Bill Parcells said, you are what your record says you are, and the Eagles’ record says they are Super Bowl contenders.
Eagles Notebook: “COOOOOOOPPPPPP!!!!” -NBCSB
The first time he heard it, Cooper Degen was at a loss. He was still a sophomore at Iowa State when the fans in Iowa City started a chant that followed him for the rest of his college career: “COOOOOOOPPPPPP!!!!” “The first time they did it in college, I thought they were booing me, and then I found out,” Dejean said this week. So when he heard the same hymn at Link’s on Sunday, he knew what it was right away. It was appreciation from loyal Eagles fans who watched the 28-23 win over the Jaguars. “Yes, it was great,” Dejean said. Eagles fans started chanting his name on his first punt return, but it wasn’t very loud. Those chants got louder with each kick after that and were especially loud when he forced a turnover on downs with a pass breakup on fourth-and-1.
NFL Mid-Season Awards: Picks for MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, Coach of the Year and more – NFL.com
Name to watch: Saquon Barkley, quarterback, Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles’ free-agent addition has been as good as he’s been heralded as a multi-faceted playmaker out of the backfield. Barkley’s ability to make big plays as a runner and receiver forces opponents to adjust their game plans to take into account where the dynamic linebacker is at all times. With 1,071 scrimmage yards and eight total touchdowns, the 27-year-old could clinch the award with a string of strong performances down the stretch.
Game Preview: Eagles vs. Cowboys – PE.com
QB Jalen Hurts is playing with a lot of confidence. It looks pretty good there, doesn’t it? Hurts takes full command and will have the full receiving arsenal available to him, including Dallas Goedert. Dealing with him, AJ Brown, and DeVonta Smith is a big task for the Cowboys defense, and if the Eagles can win first and second down and then hold third down in manageable situations for Hurts, that could be a very good thing. A night for crime. If the Eagles let Parsons take over, it will be very tough for the Eagles against a desperate Dallas team.
NFL fines Jaguars player after Eagles player says it could have ended his season – NJ.com
Jaguars safety Andrew Cisco was fined $11,817 for his hit on Eagles left tackle Fred Johnson. The fine is proportional to the player who receives the first violation for this type of violation. During the third quarter, when quarterback Jalen Hurts ran toward the end zone, Cisco approached as if trying to tackle Hurts. Instead, Cisco lunged at Johnson’s knees, sending him crashing to the ground as Hurts completed an 18-yard run. Cisco was flagged for unnecessary roughness, and the Eagles attempted a two-point conversion but failed. Johnson left the field and was examined by medical staff before returning for the rest of the match.
Washington roster moves: Zane Gonzalez promoted from practice squad; Austin Seibert – Hogs Haven
Washington’s leaders announced several roster moves as infections continue to rise. UDFA rookie TE Colson Yankoff has been placed on injured reserve. He was ruled out of this week’s match due to a hamstring injury. That opened up a spot on the 53-man roster to sign right back Chris Rodriguez from the practice squad. He was promoted last week and had his best game as a pro. This was his third promotion of the season, and he needed to sign to be active. Rookie Brian Robinson Jr. will miss his second straight game with a hamstring injury. Kicker Austin Seibert was questionable with a right hip injury, and has now been demoted to outfield. It was reported yesterday that the team was signing Zane Gonzalez to the practice squad, and the team made that official today. They upgraded Gonzalez and he will be the team’s kicker, but long snapper Tyler Ott was added to the injury report earlier today due to illness. Left guard Nick Allegretti is the backup long snapper, which would be an interesting duo for the first time.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott faces season-ending surgery, according to reports – SB Nation
The 2024 NFL season continues to get worse for the Dallas Cowboys. Last Sunday’s 27-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons dropped the Cowboys to 3-5 on the season, leaving Dallas mired in third place in the NFC East. The Cowboys are eyeing both the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders in the division, and their playoff hopes are slipping away from them. Latest news? Dallas could be without quarterback Dak Prescott for the rest of the season.
Evan Neal starts at right tackle against Panthers – Big Blue View
The New York Giants will start Evan Neal at right tackle against the Carolina Panthers, according to a report from KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson, formerly of the Houston Chronicle and Baltimore Sun. Wilson adds that Jermaine Elimonor will move to left tackle in place of Chris Hubbard. Eleumunor has started at right tackle since joining the Giants, but has the versatility to play multiple positions. This will be Neal’s first significant procedure since suffering a high ankle sprain in 2023 that required surgery to repair. This could also be Neal’s last chance to prove he’s the Giants’ long-term solution.
