Pederson is a relatively egoless coach who entered the job knowing he wasn’t going to be picking the players and still is fine with that. I think Sunday’s announcement by the Eagles that coach Doug Pederson and GM Howie Roseman were having their contracts extended through the 2022 season has to be one of the easiest decisions owner Jeffrey Lurie has ever made. Jenkins never doubted for a second that Graham wouldn’t come back.įMIA: Luck’s Beautiful Day, Watt’s Dark Moment, More Camp Trail Tales - FMIAġ. “I think we’ll still continue to work those young guys knowing that Corey is an experienced guy, knows the defense.” Graham had told the Eagles from the start of the offseason that he wasn’t going to play for another team. “I think, honestly, it was good that he wasn’t here over the last two weeks to get those guys some reps and some real experience against some ones (starters),” Jenkins said.

Amazing what finding and developing a star QB and then winning the Super Bowl will do for your reputation. Roseman is looked at as one of the best GMs in the league. His stature will only go up as he gets more experience under his belt (and assuming the team continues to win). Pederson is considered one of the best coaches in the league.
Howie and Doug Sticking Around - Iggles Blitz It’s almost like the Eagles won the Super Bowl earlier this year or something. I’ve never seen so much energy for a training camp practice. The atmosphere at practice was incredible.

A mentor and dedicated student of the game, Peters, who goes by the nicknames “The Bodyguard” and “The Franchise,” has earned near-universal respect in his locker room and around the NFL. He is freakishly athletic for his size (6-foot-4, 328 pounds) and, though hampered by injuries of late, continues to dominate opponents well into his 30s. Peters, who began his career as a tight end, has continued to state his case over the past nine seasons. The HOF case for Peters: Andy Reid called Peters “the best left tackle in football” after the Eagles acquired him from the Bills in 2009. ĭeciding top Hall of Fame debates: Revis, Rivers, Eli, Beast Mode, more - ESPN

Forget political correctness, or at least relax it, and let these TV people express themselves fully.Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links. If the implication is that you must treat everyone with equal respect, but can disagree with them on a personal level, that’s honestly very open and forward-thinking. But it seems like they’re enforcing a kind of double standard when it comes to race vs.
Instead, he’s still on TV.ĮSPN did the right thing in distancing themselves from Broussard’s anti-gay comments. If Broussard had called Collins “not black enough” for coming out of the closet, he’d be collecting unemployment checks and calling up his buddies in the NBA to see if anyone had room in their entourage. Maybe it’s because he attacked a gay person on national TV for being gay, rather than for being black (or not black enough). So why does Broussard still have a job? Maybe it’s because his opinion is religiously based, rather than racially. Smith Is "Here For" Shannon Sharpe Joining ESPN's 'First Take' Of course, his contract was able to expire, but there was no question here that ESPN disagreed with Parker and made him an example of the network’s “commitment to diversity.” Other ESPN personalities have been suspended for much, much less than attacking an entire group of people on TV based on their sexuality. Parker was suspended and then fired almost immediately. It’s a terrible thing to say, but it’s an opinion nonetheless. In case you forgot, Collins made international headlines after coming out of the closet, and Broussard went on ESPN and said being gay is “walking in open rebellion to God and to Jesus Christ.” ESPN went out of their way to show their support for Collins, but did not exactly condemn Broussard, since he was merely expressing his “ opinion.” Why?įormer ESPN personality Rob Parker was just expressing his (dumb) opinion back in December, when he called Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III a “cornball brother” and questioned his “blackness” since RGIII is politically conservative and has a white wife.
