Sunday’s awkward and standoffish press conference from Eagles coach Doug Pederson became Womens Melvin Gordon Jersey , on Monday, a much more emotionally intelligent disclosure by Pederson to reporters that Nick Foles will start at quarterback on Thursday. In making the announcement, Pederson said he’ll answer questions about the decision on Tuesday.
On Monday, offensive coordinator Mike Groh faced the media for a Q&A session, on the heels of the announcement that Foles will play. Among other things, Groh was asked to share the advice he gave to Foles.
“Just be Nick Authentic Daniel Sedin Jersey ,” Groh said. “He did a great job of distributing the football throughout the course of the playoffs and getting rid of the football and not holding the ball and putting the ball in our playmakers’ hands and letting those guys do what they do best. He doesn’t have to do anything extraordinary. He just has to continue to play like he did before and be the same guy.”
That may be easier said than done. Especially since Foles has been splitting first-team reps with Wentz.
“We feel comfortable with the reps he’s gotten and his preparation this week,” Groh nevertheless said. “He’ll be ready to go.”
Groh also said that the challenge of creating a game plan and calling plays doesn’t change much if at all between Wentz and Foles.
“This is the Eagles system, and I think that both guys have very similar skill sets,” Groh said. “They both can perform the plays that we want to get called. We got to get guys in the right spots to do what they do best, but I don’t think it impacts it much at all.”
If that were the case, Pederson wouldn’t have been so prickly about naming a starter. Most realize that Authentic Martinas Rankin Jersey , indeed, the offenses are very different under Wentz and Foles.
Last year, the Eagles used the playoff bye to carefully concoct a game plan that got the most out of Foles’ skills and that stayed away from his flaws. And it all fell together perfectly, from a close win over the Falcons to a handful of key plays that became a blowout over the Vikings to a harebrained decision to bench Malcolm Butler that became just enough points to win a championship against the Patriots.
So the question becomes whether the wins were a product of Nick being Nick, or whether it was more like a Slumdog Millionaire-style confluence of circumstances that could never be replicated again. Whether it can be replicated will be determined on Thursday night.
New Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins hasn’t been able to officially work with his new teammates until recently. Earlier this month, he unofficially worked with his top two new receivers Authentic Oscar Lindberg Jersey , Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, in Atlanta.
鈥淪tef and Adam came down and spent a couple of days together, and I thought that was productive,鈥?Cousins said Tuesday, via the St. Paul Pioneer Press. 鈥淢ore than just the football. Just to get to know one another a little and build somewhat of a foundation before we started with the whole crew.鈥?/p>
Now that Cousins and the Vikings have commenced the offseason program, players are noticing something special about their new quarterback.
鈥淗e鈥檚 a great leader Womens Evander Kane Jersey ,鈥?tight end Kyle Rudolph said regarding Cousins. 鈥淵ou can just see that kind of naturally he has that aura about him.鈥?/p>
The aura may have something to do with getting a record-setting, $28 million-per-year contract. Regardless, the Vikings have gone all in at the quarterback position, and soon enough we’ll see if the move pays dividends.
