264 Words2 Pages

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford was quoted in a recent report by Bleeding Green Nation’s Brandon Lee Gowton saying “I’m just excited to get back out there. I think there are some butterflies in there getting back out on the field knowing that I’m going to take a few hits, take them, get up, and get going again."
Bradford’s eagerness to absorb blows was challenged early in the Eagles’ 40-17 preseason victory over the Baltimore Ravens at Lincoln Financial Field. During Philadelphia’s first drive, the Ravens struck the Oklahoma alum twice as nose tackle Brandon Williams exploded into Bradford’s chest, and outside linebacker Terrell Suggs took a perceived dirty shot at the oft-injured quarterback’s knee on a read option. There was a 15 yard roughing the passer call enforced on Terrell Suggs’ tackle attempt. …show more content…

Aided by multiple Ravens penalties, the Eagles first team offense moved the ball down the field methodically running 12 plays and gaining 84 yards on their way to a touchdown. Bradford was three of five on passing attempts with 35 yards and was able to find receivers Josh Huff and Jordan Matthews for first downs. His passes were not overly impressive, but seeing Bradford back on the field and going through live game action was encouraging. This contest displayed a glimpse of one of the Eagles’ key strengths, their staple of backfield talent. Through their first offensive drive Philadelphia tripod of

    Last year, after Jamaal Charles tore his ACL five games into the 2015 season, Pederson guided the Chiefs’ offense to the playoffs with the likes of Alex Smith, Jeremy Maclin and Travis Kelce. Pederson was able to help the Chiefs win despite none of the aforementioned players putting up eye-popping numbers. The personnel in Philadelphia — Sam Bradford, Ryan Mathews, Zach Ertz and Jordan Matthews — is similar to what Pederson worked with in Kansas City.

    Murphy argues that most football players get used to the physical elements of football, but struggle to get used to the mental elements. Murphy employs imagery in the phrase ‘take a hit’ to describe how footballers prepare for a game. He points out that footballers are physically strong and they expect to experience physical pain.

    Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck only lasted parts of two drives like most premier field generals amassing 43 yards on five of six passing attempts but Luck was the only Colts QB with an efficient passer rating against an improved Eagles’ pass defense. The Eagles’ first team defense looked stout as they only allowed 15 yards on the Colts’ first nine carries and a key part of that stingy performance was Eagles’ nose tackle Bennie Logan. Logan was able to stuff running lanes and allow linebackers to flow to the ball while also getting his stats with three solo tackles near the line of scrimmage during his snaps. Middle linebacker Brad Jones definitely benefited from strong line play nonetheless he also able to stuff ball carriers for a game high 8

    One huge example of this neglect to watch out for their players is displayed through the New York Jets’ wide receiver Wayne Chrebet. Chrebet was knocked out cold, yet the Jets’ team doctor still sent him back into the game to play. In the first 10 day prior to a concussion, athletes are at a much higher risk of developing another concussion; however, instead of allowing players to recover, the NFL send players directly into the line of fire after they have already been shot down.
