"Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...Jordan Howard lands on his feet http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-seth-joyner-jersey , set to be a complement to the Eagles’ running game - PFFSince 2016, the Philadelphia Eagles have run an inside-zone concept on 464 of their 1412 running plays over that span, and they actually led the league in inside-zone frequency last year (50.0%) with 218 inside-zone attempts from 436 running plays. Over the last three years, the Eagles rank 13th among teams in rushing yards gained before contact from inside-zone runs, while their team inside-zone blocking grade of 79.0 ranks first by a considerable margin. And that makes this a perfect landing spot for the former Chicago running back, as he has thrived on his inside-zone runs throughout his time in the league. Since 2016, no running back has logged more inside-zone rushes than Howard (317), while his three-year inside-zone running grade of 75.0 ranks eighth among the 35 backs with at least 100 inside-zone attempts in that span. His 1324 rushing yards, 822 yards after contact, and his average of 2.59 yards after contact per attempt rank second, second, and 14th, respectively, among the group of players. After badly struggling at the position a season ago Womens Jason Peters Jersey , the Eagles have now likely found their early-down man for next season, and if Howard can continue his success within the Eagles’ scheme, he could very well be the next great move for a franchise that is quickly becoming one of the most personnel-savvy outfits in the NFL.5 things to know about new Eagles running back Jordan Howard - BGNI break down sacks allowed for the Bears each game, and Howard didn’t give any up in 2018. If my memory serves me right, he’s only allowed 1.5 sacks in his three year career. His base is strong when taking on blitzers and his blitz recognition is good as well. There have been many times when he’s picked the right guy to block when defenses have tried to get tricky on the pass rush.The Kist & Solak Show #87: Jordan Howard Is Okay & That’s Okay - BGN RadioMichael Kist and Benjamin Solak break down new Eagles’ addition Jordan Howard, analyze Andrew Sendejo’s impact on drafting a safety, discuss the interior offensive line need (or not) headed into the draft, and update you on the Eagles’ top 30 official visits! Powered by SB Nation and Bleeding Green Nation.Eagles Mailbag: On Hicks, Wisniewski, Ajayi, Jernigan, Fort, Sendejo, and compensatory picks - PhillyVoiceNow that the Eagles have traded for Jordan Howard Brian Dawkins Jersey , they have their between-the-tackles banger. They are very unlikely to double up on another one of those guys in the draft now. I think that’ll lower the chances they draft a guy like Iowa State’s David Montgomery, for example. The running backs that will now interest the Eagles in the draft will likely either have a lot of speed, or receiving ability, preferably both. We’ll be taking a position-by-position look at five players the Eagles could draft at each spot soon.Eagles are now in an enviable pre-draft position - PE.comIn and of itself, trading a 2020 conditional draft pick (reported to be a sixth-round selection that could become a fifth-rounder) for a proven, reliable and fits-in-on-and-off-the-field-in-every-way running back in Jordan Howard is a terrific deal for the Eagles: Howard brings three years of NFL experience, he’s the kind of big, power back the running game lacked last year and he’s known as a great teammate and locker room presence. There’s more to the quality of this deal than immediately meets the eye, too. or two.Progress check: What the Cowboys have accomplished so far, and what still needs to be done - Blogging The BoysThe one big failure: Let’s get it out of the way first. The team is still not close to working out an extension for DeMarcus Lawrence, who has not signed his franchise tag tender nor made any plans to get the surgery he needs. Reports indicate he is wanting something in the $22.5 million per year range on a six-year deal, with about half of it guaranteed. The team is not stepping up to that particular plate (yet). This is the one thing the Cowboys could not really afford to mess up, but here we stand holding their beer. Things are not over, of course. It is not a certain end to their hopes for the season if somehow they lose their best pass rusher and overall best defensive lineman in both phases of the game. But it would really http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-sidney-jones-jersey , really hurt. This will continue to be the biggest story for the team until it is resolved.Bears re-sign DeAndre Houston-Carson - Windy City Gridiron[BLG Note: The Eagles tried to sign DHC off the Bears’ practice squad in 2017.]Projecting the top wide receivers in the 2019 NFL draft - ESPN In$iderA.J. Brown, Ole Miss Rebels: 500 yards per season. Scouts Inc.: No. 32 overall. Similar historical prospects: Calvin Ridley, Nelson Agholor. At least from a statistical perspective, Brown is very similar to this year’s top two in terms of yards and touchdowns per team attempt. However, Brown falls a little short of the other two because his touchdowns dropped from 11 in his sophomore season to six in his junior season. [BLG Note: Remember that the Eagles are bringing Brown in for a pre-draft visit.]Ask a former NFL player: How hard is it for offensive linemen to switch positions? - SB NationAccording to social media, switching from tackle to guard is the “easy” solution for a tackle who’s struggling. Not so fast my friend. If an offensive tackle has good hands, generally has good movement skills but might lack some foot quickness to play tackle, then moving inside could be productive. If an offensive tackle is struggling with his strike and punch location, plus has bad feet, then moving inside is a no-go. Things happen fast at guard. Your hands must be ready for action now. And if you miss with your hands, your base better be good so you’re able to recover. So in short, moving a struggling OT to OG isn’t easy, and it’s rarely the solution....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 The quarterback is also excited to work with John DeFilippo again."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Eagles StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Eagles NewsYahoo Eagles Team PageYahoo Eagles ReportYahoo Eagles Depth ChartYahoo Eagles TransactionsYahoo Eagles PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub 鉁旴reaking NewsThe Eagles' 2019 draft class is finalized 脳NFL Free AgencyNick Foles talks opportunity to be a franchise quarterback in Jaguars introductory press conferenceNew,95commentsThe quarterback is also excited to work with John DeFilippo again.EDTShareTweetShareShareNick Foles talks opportunity to be a franchise quarterback in Jaguars introductory press conferenceNick Foles penned an emotional goodbye to Philadelphia Womens Rasul Douglas Jersey , and is now officially the starting quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
