Powered by SB Nation & Bleeding Green Nation.Updated Player Interest - Iggles BlitzThe OL coaches are all over the place. They are focusing on OG, but the Eagles always love versatile blockers so they are checking out others as well. Again, these guys could go early or late. The team is being very thorough. I’m a big fan of Chris Lindstrom. Glad they are paying him a lot of attention. Cody Ford is the guy who looks like a Pederson/Stoutland OL. Not sure if he’s there at 25. Duce Staley is also very active. He’s checking out all kinds of RBs. The Eagles are looking at some workhorse guys, but also good role players. They need a weapon for the backfield. That doesn’t have to be a 220-pound runner. They’re checking out athletic pass-catchers as well as tough runners. Trayveon Williams would be a really interesting addition with his big play ability.Imagining the possibilities in new-look Eagles offense - PE.comDeSean Jackson’s arrival at wide receiver lights up the passing game, already a good one that becomes that much better. Jackson is the NFL’s most lethal deep threat, and his presence will open up the rest of the field for Ertz and Goedert and Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor. Jordan Howard at running back? He was a workhorse in Chicago who moved the chains and reached the end zone. How it is all going to unfold remains to be seen, but the Eagles will put a strong plan in place for Howard to maximize his abilities. All of this is designed to aid quarterback Carson Wentz and provide him options and flexibility in his reads http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-dallas-goedert-jersey , give him a productive and reliable running game, and, well, make the offense around him a whole lot better.WARRIORS SIGN PRO-BOWLER HALOTI NGATA - Warriors RugbyHaloti Ngata, the 5-time NFL Pro-Bowler and Super Bowl champion with the Baltimore Ravens, announced this morning that he has signed an Associate Player Contract with Major League Rugby and will start immediately with the Utah Warriors. Ngata, who played high school rugby at Salt Lake City’s Highland High School, had just announced his retirement from the NFL on March 18th on top Mt. Kilimanjaro with a banner which read, ‘I’m retiring on top’. He matched that by hiking Utah’s Ensign Peak this weekend with a banner that reads, ‘I’m Going Back To Rugby’, making the statement that this is the place, rugby is the place that molded him to be the football player he is known to be.With Gronk retired, who is the No. 1 tight end in the NFL? - ESPN In$iderOffensive-minded head coach: “Kelce and Ertz are both good Womens Rodney McLeod Jersey , but I think Kelce is a little tougher matchup. Some of these guys are ‘F’ and some are ‘Y’ tight ends. Gronk could do it all.” Defensive-minded head coach: “My mind immediately goes to which one is the hardest to guard. Kelce is a little longer, a little faster [than Ertz].” General manager: “I am going to go Kelce, with the possibility of that person becoming Evan Engram. Kittle is good, but like many of the players who have been with Kyle Shanahan, he should feel blessed. I mean, look at what Kyle did with the backs in Atlanta. Look at what he did with Matt Ryan.”Report: Duke Johnson wants out of Cleveland - Dawgs the Chicago Bears. The price? A sixth-round pick in 2020. Howard will immediately help that room and, until further notice, should be seeing the bulk of the carries. Roseman had already landed quality pieces in defensive linemen Malik Jackson and Vinny Curry, along with wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Philadelphia has done all this without giving out a cap-crippling contract or by trading away significant draft capital. The next result is closing the gap on the Cowboys in the NFC East if not surpassing them.Could Any of These Five Teams Trade for Josh Rosen? - The RingerFox Sports draft analyst Joel Klatt said on Undisputed that the Giants, Patriots, and Chargers were “very interested” in Rosen and that one of those teams had already offered a second-rounder. (He also said this staring into Skip Bayless’s eyeholes, and the info may have come from Rosen’s camp, so take it with a Pete Davidson–sized salt grain.) Based on everything New York general manager Dave Gettleman has said and done Alshon Jeffery Jersey , the Giants are the team least likely to have offered that pick. Keim would certainly have his eyes on the no. 17 overall pick the Giants got in the Odell Beckham Jr. trade, but Gettleman is unlikely to swap a first-rounder for Rosen. The Giants have acknowledged they need to replace Eli Manning, but have not acknowledged they need to do so this year. Gettleman had the opportunity to draft Rosen or another quarterback at no. 2 last year but opted for running back Saquon Barkley instead. If the team didn’t see Rosen as a franchise QB then, they probably don’t see him as one now, and if they don’t see him as one now, the team probably won’t even part with its second-rounder (no. 37 overall). The Giants don’t have their third-round pick after using it in the supplemental draft last year, but they acquired Cleveland’s in the Beckham trade.QBASE 2019 - Football OutsidersAs you’d expect, Kyler Murray and Dwayne Haskins are statistically the most promising quarterback prospects in this year’s draft ... but how do we account for their inexperience when the track record for one-year college starters is so poor?Is the NFL in danger of making its games too long? - SB NationNo coach in the league challenged more than eight plays during the 2018 regular season. That means even the most aggressive coach with replays only averaged one challenge every two games. That leaves a worst-case scenario where we could see more than four times as many challenges if coaches actually used all of them. It’s highly doubtful that coaches will actually challenge less often now — especially when they’re able to review a highly impactful penalty that was called 320 times during the 2018 season. It seems inevitable that the rule change will add at least a little bit of time to the average length of an NFL game....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 No. 25 Appalachian State (5-1, 3-0 Sun Belt) at Georgia Southern (6-1, 3-0), Thursday, 7:30 p.m. (ESPNU)Line: Appalachian State by 10½.Series record: App State leads 19-13-1.WHAT’S AT STAKE?The Mountaineers entered the Top 25 this week for the first time in school history, and they’ll put their ranking on the line in a game that will help decide the Sun Belt’s East Division leader.
