"Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...Dawkins on Bryce: He’s another rock star - MLB.comThe Philadelphia Eagles legend arrived at Spectrum Field early Saturday morning with challenges in mind. Phillies manager Gabe Kapler invited Dawkins to speak to his players after listening to him motivate the organization’s top prospects in January at Citizens Bank Park. Dawkins spoke for about 30 minutes Brandon Brooks Jerseys 2019 , like only Dawkins can speak -- enthusiastically and emotionally. He talked about responsibility, sacrifice, work ethic and being the best versions of themselves. Dawkins then reminded the Phillies that they had a parade down Broad Street in 2008, his first taste of ultimate victory in Philadelphia .“That feeling, that sense that it could happen, it started here,” Dawkins said. “Like the so-called curse was knocked off Philadelphia. It started here. Understand that. But in order to get what you’ve never got, you’ve got to do what you’ve never done.” “We were all ready to run through the brick wall,” Rhys Hoskins said.2019 NFL Mock Draft Roundup: Josh Jacobs and Christian Wilkins among most popular Eagles picks - BGNThe 2019 NFL Draft will be here before you know it. Mock draft season has already begun and there’s no shortage of opinion as to whom the Philadelphia Eagles might select with the No. 25 overall pick. Let’s take a look at which players the experts have the Eagles taking this week now that the NFL Combine is over and free agency rumors have begun.The Kist & Solak Show #83: Things Are Happening! - BGN RadioMichael Kist and Benjamin Solak record in the middle of a news storm and get caught up in the turbulence. Trades, cuts, Eagles targets, Michael Bennett, etc etc Black Nigel Bradham Jerseys , PLUS a Twitter Mailbag that answers all of your questions! Powered by SB Nation and Bleeding Green Nation.Mailbag: Which players could be trade-up options for the Eagles in the 2019 NFL Draft? - PhillyVoceAs mentioned above, I think Ed Oliver is a highly talented player at a position of need. And then I think that if guys like Clemson DT Christian Wilkins, Clemson DE Clelin Ferrell, or even Oklahoma blazing WR Marquise Brown were to fall, they would all be players who could turn the Eagles into aggressors in this draft.Let’s Talk Antonio Brown - Iggles BlitzI’m sure the Eagles are curious about Brown. Any time a potential Hall of Fame player becomes available, you’d be dumb not to give a move serious consideration. Then again, why is a HOF player available? That tells you there are issues. NFL teams don’t get rid of elite talent for the heck of it.Philadelphia Eagles 2018 Season Recap - PFFWhile QB Carson Wentz took a step back from 2017 with his 79.4 overall grade, he still ranked 14th among NFL quarterbacks. Nick Foles filled in admirably during the playoff run with a 73.8 overall grade.Scouting combine sleepers who should be on Eagles radar - Morning CallMassachusetts WR Andy Isabella: Let’s get the negatives out of the way first for this prospect: He’s small (5-8, 188), susceptible to being knocked around by defenders and not a very good blocker (though more than willing). Now let’s get to what he did in Indianapolis to raise his stock: He ran a blazing 40-yard dash in 4.31 seconds. His times in the three-cone drill (6.95) and 20-yard shuttle (4.15) were equally impressive. He even managed 15 reps of 225 pounds in the bench press — certainly not a terrible number for a wide receiver. Isabella also was considered to be a smart and precise route runner long before arriving at the combine. That means he can be a short-space threat as well as someone who commands defensive help over the top with his ability to get behind defenders.Five big-name free agent predictions that will have an impact on the Dallas Cowboys - Blogging The BoysBut the Eagles will keep looking for impact players at an affordable rate. With Jay Ajayi departing in free agency, the Eagles could replenish his services by adding reliable veteran running back Mark Ingram. Philadelphia likes to use an assortment of rushers for their ground attack and Ingram should be used to that. However, unlike his time in New Orleans, Ingram would be able to emerge as the lead back in Philly. Let’s hope Ingram lands on another run-heavy team like the Baltimore Ravens Nigel Bradham Jerseys 2019 , but honestly - any team that is not the Eagles will be fine by me. But even if they miss out on Ingram, they could still go after free agent Tevin Coleman.NFL Draft QB rankings - RotoworldStick won three FCS titles at NDSU, the colossus of the sub-division that gave us Carson Wentz. Forget Carson Wentz. Stick is nothing like him as a prospect. Stick is a fabulous athlete — slower by a tic than Taysom Hill with less explosion, but with superior agility — who is a weapon in the open field. This part of his game doesn’t get discussed enough, I think, because evaluators who dismiss him because of the height/arm strength thing or the Shrine week don’t get far enough along in their thought process to bake it in to what it could mean in the NFL. Also, because Stick is #white. But good golly is he dangerous. Difficult to wrap up in the backfield, difficult to corral when he gets moving downfield, and, heck, difficult to catch from behind. You can’t dismiss Stick’s deep-sector touch as a context-based fluke, because Stick’s skillset itself is in part informing that context: On RPOs, for instance Black Rodney McLeod Jerseys , linebackers and safeties need to be extremely cognizant of the fact that Stick could tuck and rip off a 25-yard run in three seconds.Update: Chiefs sign Carlos Hyde to one-year deal worth $2.8 million - Arrowhead PrdeThe Chiefs currently have only two running backs—Damien Williams and Darrel Williams on their roster, with Spencer Ware set to potentially make more money than many of us probably expected on the open market. Hyde is a veteran who has been both a starter and backup before, and he has two 900-plus-yards seasons under his belt (2016 and 2017).Antonio Brown traded to the Raiders. This time it’s for real - SB NationAntonio Brown is joining the Oakland Raiders after a bitter divorce with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After Brown demanded a trade, the Steelers obliged with a deal with Oakland, according to Pro Football Talk. Pittsburgh will receive third- and fifth-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The deal comes about 48 hours after a report late Thursday night that Brown was about to be traded to the Buffalo Bills. The receiver reportedly nixed that deal, and by Friday morning the Bills released a statement saying they “moved on.”...Social Media Information:BGN Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBGN Twitter: Follow @BleedingGreenBGN Manager: Brandon Lee Gowton: Follow @BrandonGowtonBGN Radio Twitter: Follow @BGN_Radio Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone insists he was following the strategy chart, calling for a 2-point conversion after a fourth-down touchdown run in the final seconds of a lopsided game.Yeah, right.Marrone's message to the New York Jets — the team that snubbed him for its head coaching job in January 2015 — was loud and clear Sunday."He doesn't like those guys," Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson said following the 31-12 victory . "I don't know what they did to him, but he doesn't like them."Marrone said he had no hidden agenda or extra motivation, which was hard to believe considering he took a subtle shot at Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson in late August.What Marrone did to the Jets (1-3) seemed somewhat similar."I think it's really disrespectful," Jets defensive lineman Leonard Williams said. "The game's already over. They already have the game in the bag. All they could have done is run the clock out at that point. At the same time Rodney McLeod Jerseys 2019 , I think it's up to us to gain that respect from other teams."If teams are disrespecting us, it must say something about us. I took it really personal. And I didn't like it at all."The Jaguars (3-1) led 25-12 with about 30 seconds remaining when Marrone called for the offense to stay on the field for a fourth-and-1 play at the goal line. Jacksonville could have taken a knee or kicked a field goal.Instead, T.J. Yeldon got the ball and scored .Up 19 points, Marrone then opted for a 2-point conversion try."We had a lot of guys banged up for the PAT/field goal, and on the chart it just said 19, you know what I'm saying?" Marrone said. "On the chart, it says go for two. I'm one of those guys I never try to take anything for granted in an NFL game. Try to keep working those mechanics and doing it, so just went for two."Sure you weren't sending a message, coach?"We're not good enough to send a message right now," Marrone said.The Jets said all the right things afterward."That's just what they felt they wanted to do," linebacker Jordan Jenkins said. "Whether it's a statement or not, we'll never know. But we won't forget."The Jaguars outgained the Jets 503-178, the second time in quarterback Blake Bortles' five-year career they topped 500 yards.The defense finished with three sacks and nearly had three interceptions against rookie Sam Darnold. The unit also allowed a combined 26 yards rushing to New York's 1-2 punch of Bilal Powell and Isaiah Crowell.It was a dominant performance all around.It wasn't good enough for Marrone apparently."I just work here Black Jason Peters Jerseys ," Bortles said when asked if he was surprised to see the Jags go for two.Some believed Marrone was getting payback for safety Jamal Adams slamming receiver Dede Westbrook to the ground late in the game. Adams was flagged for unnecessary roughness."It kind of upset me because, at the end of the day, the whistle blew," Westbrook said. "That's not cool. I've got a family to feed just as well as you do. And anything that's done after the whistle, it's unnecessary. Of course I wasn't happy with that."But others thought it was all about Marrone's harsh feelings toward the Jets, who interviewed him to replace Rex Ryan and then decided to hire Todd Bowles. Marrone had reportedly left his head coaching job with Buffalo to join the Jets.Marrone landed in Jacksonville as the team's offensive coordinator, spent two years in that role and then got the head coaching job to replace Gus Bradley.Marrone improved to 15-8 with Jacksonville.Bowles fell to 21-31 with the Jets, who might now have something to carry with them into their next game against Jacksonville."It's football," Jenkins said. "When you're up, you can do what you want with the ball."
