I was informed that the podcast version of

Miles Sanders on
@SportsRadioWIP
on Jalen Hurts sitting" "Man if I'm being honest, nobody liked the decision, nobody. That's all I can say really. I don't know who was the main person behind that decision. All I know is that a lot of people on the team was confused."
#Eagles
Jalen Hurts admitted after Sunday night’s game he knew Nate Sudfeld was coming in at some point and Brandon Graham said he also knew. Not sure where that disconnect is coming from.
#Eagles
Ben Simmons is not even worth discussing at this point. What went on with his mental-health charade is obvious to all but the disingenuous and to do it in a city where Brandon Brooks and Lane Johnson elevated serious conversation on the subject is sad.

When Jason Kelce talks you can bank on the quote of the week coming. Today it was: “The cafeteria and the lockeroom is the only reason I’m still playing football”
#Eagles
If the
#Eagles
trade A.J. Brown before June 1 they only have to take on $41.3 million in dead money and lose about $29M against the cap. On the plus side, they only lose their best pure football player. I mean come on, people.
When six teams put in a waiver claim on a player that’s a red flag indicating a lot of people think that guy can play. Howie Roseman and the
#Eagles
are on notice again with
@PhillyWill11
I think Jalen Hurts is mentally tough enough to handle Nick Foles as a backup here. I also think a small minority of the fan base is not mentally tough enough to handle Foles as the backup to Hurts
#Eagles
The
#Eagles
are the first team to get to the Super Bowl by not playing anybody. 🤣. Fans of the team should embrace that. What really happened is they turned somebodies into nobodies.
Fletcher Cox is one of the best players in
#Eagles
franchise history. If the organization had no hope of bringing him back you would have gotten the full monty of quotes from Lurie, Roseman, and Sirianni
Loudest
#Eagles
whispers so far are trading up to make sure they get David Ojabo and
#Texans
S Justin Reid in free agency which is the type of player that fits their MO
If nothing else, with Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith, Jalen Reagor, Dallas Goedert, Miles Sanders, and Kenny Gainwell, Nick Sirianni should be able to be as creative as advertised. Key is always execution but Hurts should have the playmakers to make a fair evaluation
#Eagles
Over the full six years the AAV for Carson Wentz is just under $26 million. That’s less than Jimmy Garoppolo. Don’t ever think Howie Roseman doesn’t know what he’s doing.
#Eagles
Christen Harper was with
@SI_Swimsuit
when she learned that boyfriend Jared Goff threw a game-winning touchdown for the Lions' first win
Her reaction is everything ❤️
Listening to Jason Kelce call again & the realization struck me that this is an all-time great Philadelphia athlete & one of the best representatives an organization could ever want. So smart and inciteful. Position limits him. If he were a QB, he'd be the face of the NFL
#Eagles
When the obituary is written on the 2019
#Eagles
season that Jordan Howard injury is going to be a big part of it. Team found its identity with him as the lead back and has lost it without him.
Top takeaways from
#Eagles
OTAs:
-AJ Brown looks bigger if that’s possible.
-Nakobe Dean is the green dot.
-Arryn Siposs submitted Ty Zentner in Round 1
-Britain Covey looked really quick
-Kyron Johnson took reps at off-ball LB
-Zech McPherson in the slot
Looks like the
#Eagles
are going to be without Fletcher Cox and Marlon Tuipulotu on Sunday and still have Jordan Davis, Milton Williams, Jalen Carter, and Kentavius Street to lean on at DT. Also may get a first look at rookie Moro Ojomo. Now that's depth
Jalen Mills was a bright spot. He’s probably the least physically gifted of the
#Eagles
“top” four outside CBs but is by far the toughest minded and most competitive
Say what you want about the
#Eagles
front office but it’s one of the smartest and savviest in the
#NFL
and the
#Eagles
would have been crazy to move on from Howie Roseman.
Here are the
#Eagles
players not spotted at practice. Some were already known to be waived: QB Ian Book, RB Kennedy Brooks, WR Freddie Swain, WR Johnny King, TE Tyree Jackson, OL Tyrese Robinson, DT Marvin Wilson, DT Caleb Saunders, DT Olive Sagapolu, DT Robert Cooper...
So if you're a high-profile coaching candidate with options why would you choose the
#Eagles
after seeing what's going on with a guy who won the Super Bowl less than three years ago?
If I’m the
#Eagles
JJ Arcega-Whiteside-Whiteside is getting thrown into the deep end of the pool. Developmental prospect or not, he’s got to be better than Mack Hollins
The
#Eagles
also agreed to terms with
#Colts
assistant Kevin Patullo as their offensive pass game coordinator, per source. Nick Sirianni bringing along some familiar faces to Philly.
I think Jalen Hurts has an opportunity to be a long-term starting QB in the
#NFL
and a lot of that is tied to his work ethic and natural leadership skills. That said, please don't tell me he's the same from a skillset standpoint as a potential top-5 prospect
#Eagles
What a week.
#Eagles
have best record in the NFL for 31 weeks and counting. Amazing accomplishment for a team thar can’t run the ball, can’t blitz and has no coordinators. 🤣
I think Carson Wentz is missing the no-nonsense approach of John DeFilippo on a day-to-day basis. Flip had a little more cachet to be gruff with Carson while I sense more of a peer-like relationship with Press Taylor.
#Eagles
#Eagles
have been around since 1933 and 1-2-3 on the games played list are Brandon Graham, Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox. Cox will be remembered as one of the best defensive players in franchise history
Both Miles Sanders and Jordan Mailata will play Sunday vs.
#NYGiants
despite not practicing. Every player on the 53-man roster is healthy enough to play which is pretty amazing in Week 16
Jalen Hurts may believe nothing changes but the official training camp portion of the
#Eagles
calendar is over meaning no more fully open practices for reporters. I was there every step of the way for the 15 that were open and hope you enjoyed the coverage. Thread incoming...
Interesting notes from
@nflrefstats1
this week: Alex Kemp is the referee this week. Two of
#Eagles
' regular-season losses in 2022 were with Alex Kemp officiating. Sixth time in last 30 Kemp is headlining a 49ers game and SF is 4-1 in those games and 3-0 on the road.
Jalen Hurts has taken every first-team rep in practice. Hasn’t even missed one to tie a shoe & he’s treated as an entrenched starter in preseason Game 1. There is no QB competition with
#Eagles
right now. Weird narrative.
#Eagles
had 17 players named as Pro Bowlers or alternates and that list doesn't include Dallas Goedert and C.J. Gardner-Johnson due to injuries, or T.J. Edwards, due to craziness. Amazing level of talent on this team
