JUNE 17 JALEN HYPE? The Eagles have a new offensive coordinator in Kellen Moore. Naturally, the team has made some changes in terms of its offensive attack.
But there is nothing new under the sun, so how much “change” could actually be happening
According to quarterback Jalen Hurts, almost all of the offense the team has instituted is new. Like, “95 percent,” Hurts claimed
That seems hyperbolic. But the idea is to change for the better … and, we argue, to build on the good things this offense already does.
Our prediction is that ex-Cowboys coordinator Moore is simply doing that – with the percent of “change” hovering somewhere below “95 percent.
JUNE 17 NO SAVIOR Fletcher Cox is retired, leaving behind him a talented D-line group that feels it has plenty to prove.
“It is an adjustment,” said Jordan Davis, a big part of that Eagles talent pool “I ain’t gonna sit here and lie. … It’s us. So, we can’t sit there and think about if Fletch was here and blah, blah, blah …we have to go out and we have to make sure that we put our best foot forward and we continue that. Nobody’s coming to save us.”
The Eagles have a new defensive coordinator in Vic Fangio, but no, he’s not a “savior,” either. Really, it’s part of the natural process. Older guy out, younger guy in.
Davis knows it.
“So,” he said, “what you gonna do? What we gonna do?”
JUNE 17 OWNER KELCE? Jeffrey Lurie is working on selling a piece of his team. And guess what? Jason Kelce wants to buy a piece of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Lurie bought the Eagles from Norman Braman in 1994 for $185 million, and now the franchise is now worth about $7.5 billion.
And during a recent “New Heights” podcast, the retired center and future “Monday Night Football” analyst said that he’d quit ESPN deal to own a piece of his beloved Eagles.
“Listen, I’ll back out of the TV deal right now if you tell me I could own the Philadelphia Eagles,” Jason said.
Sounds like a plan?
MAY 14 EAGLES BEAT WASHINGTON Jason Kelce is in at “Monday Night Football,” with Robert Griffin III being shoved aside.
Kelce, the recently retired Eagles icon, is a hot property in part due to his “New Heights” podcast success. And RGIII? He’ll still have a place at ESPN, it is being reported … but his profile will shrink a bit as Kelce’s grows.
MAY 14 BIGGEST IMPACT? NFL.com has issued a list of the “biggest impact” trade guys and the Eagles are mentioned … as a “loser” of sorts.
