The recent #Eagles press conference showed the plainspoken side of Jeff Lurie and general manager Doug Pederson. Pederson did not make any bold predictions, but he did show the team’s softer side. Pederson also did not make any bold statements. Here is what we learned. Read on to find out what’s next for the #Eagles. Also, find out what Andy Reid had to say.
Nick Sirianni’s introductory press conference
A couple of things were very concerning about Nick Sirianni’s introductory Eagles news conference. First of all, he appeared nervous. And second, he gave a bunch of unsatisfying answers. That’s never a good sign for a first-time head coach. Sirianni sounded like he was nervous and didn’t have any good answers. Then, when he was asked about his relationship with general manager Howie Roseman, he made some questionable statements.
While Sirianni did not reveal anything about his conversations with Wentz and Carson Wentz, he did confirm that he’s had conversations with both quarterbacks. He also said that he’ll have time to get to know all of the players outside of football. He’ll dive into film later. Then, he’ll begin to build his system. After that, the new head coach will start working with his staff and players.
At the end of Sirianni’s press conference, he did acknowledge that he’s a new head coach and a young one. He thanked the front office for the opportunity to coach the team and thanked his family and mentors. He also acknowledged the passion of Philly fans. After all, Sirianni is one of the youngest head coaches in NFL history. If he can do it, then he’ll be a great coach.
The Eagles’ new head coach made a poor first impression at his introductory press conference. After a lengthy introduction by owner Jeffrey Laurie, Sirianni took questions from reporters. The first part of his press conference went well, but he seemed to talk a lot about his systems and quarterbacks. That’s fine, as long as he doesn’t talk about Carson Wentz and Jalen Hurts. But it’s not enough to impress the fans.
There’s one question that’s looming over the Eagles this offseason: the quarterback competition. Sirianni didn’t answer it, either, but he did give an insight into the team’s quarterback situation. Ultimately, Sirianni can’t make a final decision on Carson Wentz until he’s sure he’s picked. He must know what his players think about the situation before he can make a final decision. If Wentz insists on being traded, he could prefer Jalen Hurts.
Doug Pederson’s press conference
Head coach Doug Pederson is known for his prickly press conferences, but his team’s Week 14 win over the Saints did not disappoint. He was ready for the flurry of questions and fielded them with aplomb. However, one reporter’s question turned NSFW when the word “sex” was accidentally inserted into it. Thankfully, Pederson handled the situation with poise, just like his rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts.
As far as the coaching staff goes, Pederson wants a group of coaches who can help him mold and develop players. He also wants coaches who will work with him and improve the players individually. The Eagles’ staff has been criticised since their Super Bowl win because Pederson was criticized for not getting good replacements for offensive coordinator Frank Reich and QBs coach John DeFilippo, among others.
Pederson’s search process has also been criticized for its length. While the Jaguars received a two-week head start on the process, they didn’t hire Pederson until early February. The process took about a month to complete, and Pederson said he didn’t mind waiting a month for the position. He appreciated the time and effort that went into it. However, he also acknowledged that his decision was an “upset” and did not make him a favorite.
Andy Reid’s remarks
If you were to watch Andy Reid’s press conference this week, you might have noticed a few things. First of all, he was incredibly somber. That’s not to say Reid doesn’t show emotion. Especially after a week as frustrating as this one. But he appeared to be welling up at the press conference when asked about the significance of the Eagles’ return to Philly.
In his press conference, Reid also addressed a question about the wide-nine offense. Despite a lack of detail on that question, Reid acknowledged that it was a problem with the team’s defense and said he didn’t make any changes because of the lack of time. However, Reid did acknowledge that he had to deal with the attention of other teams. As far as his memories go, he said reaching Super Bowl XXXX was his favorite moment in his Eagles tenure.
Despite his adversity, he has still managed to win a record-breaking number of games. He is the only coach in NFL history to win 100 games with two different teams – Kansas City and Philadelphia. He admitted that the change wasn’t good, but that he is happy to stay in the NFL. Andy Reid’s remarks at the Eagles press conference aren’t exactly what many fans want.
But despite the disappointing season last year, the Philadelphia Eagles are now a top contender in the NFC. The Eagles have beaten the Falcons twice and advanced to the NFC Championship game for the second consecutive year. Donovan McNabb threw two touchdowns to Na Brown and Jeff Thompson and ran for another touchdown. However, the team lost to the New Orleans Saints in the next round, 20-10. This was a historic win for Philadelphia, and it was well-deserved.
Another notable note about the Eagles’ team is the inclusion of some of the young players. While the Eagles are in the midst of a rebuilding process, they still have some young players. For example, QB Jalen Hurts has been talking about the Eagles’ closeness since day one. And he’s not the only one. Offensive coordinator Brian Johnson is in his early 30s, so there’s still plenty of time to make the team better.
Jalen Reagor’s future with #Eagles
With the wide receiver corps crowded, it’s difficult to predict Jalen Reagor’s long-term future in Philadelphia. The Eagles’ offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni has indicated that Reagor is in competition for a starting spot, but he’s unlikely to earn it before Week 1 in 2022. Here are three things to watch for with Reagor in 2019.
The situation is complex, but the Eagles are likely to stick with Reagor. The veteran has played for two different head coaches, two different offensive systems, and two different starting quarterbacks. He’s played alongside Justin Jefferson while in Minnesota. Reagor’s chances of earning a second contract have diminished since A.J. Brown came to town, but he might still play in special teams.
The Eagles may be open to trading Reagor, but it’s not a sure thing. The team has been linked to multiple teams, including the Baltimore Ravens and the Chicago Bears. That means that Reagor could be traded to any team. However, if the Eagles decide to cut him, they will likely get a return on the investment.
Reagor’s performance at training camp is encouraging, but he’s not yet assured a roster spot. After all, he came into the league as a first-round pick. While that’s good news for Philadelphia Eagles fans, it’s still disappointing to see Reagor’s first-round draft performance and $2.5 million cap hit. The Eagles also have to prepare for the inevitable departure of Lane Johnson.
The lack of consistency has also hampered Reagor’s prospects. Reagor has dropped four passes in his two seasons, two of which were game-winning balls against the New York Giants. Reagor has continued to drop passes in training camp. In a recent report from NBC Sports, he was linked to a drop-out by a receiver named Justin Jefferson.
