Q. What went on in the first half against the Lions? JIM SCHWARTZ: It wasn’t really big plays. They just methodically moved the ball. A couple times penalties contributed to keeping those drives alive. It’s something in our first three games we really, I thought, did a good job of avoiding penalties that kept drives […]
Q. What has rookie T Halapoulivaati Vaitai shown you in practice throughout the season and in yesterday’s practice? FRANK REICH: Big V [Vaitai] looks good. Big, strong guy; smart, athletic, natural pass setting ability. I’m excited for him to have his opportunity. Q. Have you ever been in a situation before either as a coach or player, […]

Doug Pederson speaks to the assembled media Monday morning after the Eagles 24-23 loss to the Detroit Lions on the road.
The Eagles came back from deficits of 14-0 and 21-7 to take a 23-21 lead on a 49-yard field goal by Celeb Sturgis with 6:45 left in the fourth quarter.
Detroit then drove to the Red Zone setting up Matt Prater for a 29-yard field goal with 1:28 left and Darius Slay made an over-the-shoulder interception on the next snap, helping the Detroit Lions hand Carson Wentz his first loss.
Eagles Head Coach Doug Pederson is caught between a rock and a hard place with regards to tackle Lane Johnson.
The 6-foot-6, 317-pounder signed a five-year contract this offseason, that according to spotrac.com, was worth a total of $56,260,000.00 with $35,500.000.00 of it guaranteed. That was until Johnson failed a second test for PEDs just as training camp opened.
He tested positive for a banned substance but his suspension is not official until the results of a second urine sample come through. Those results have still not been announced by the NFL.
The Eagles play the New York Jets Thursday night at the Linc (7 p.m. NBC 10). The Birds, like last year, enter this game 3-0 with a quarterback in Sam Bradford who has been lights out again in the preseason.
Eagles fans and observers are much more cautious about predictions than they were last year when many predicted Super Bowl glory. Most starters will not play.
Exactly two preseason games have been played thus far by the 2016 Philadelphia Eagles. The star of those two meaningless exhibition games has been the defense. The stat line says so…BOLDLY! 1 TD has been surrendered while they have scored 1 TD themselves. Accumulating 5 sacks 2 forced fumbles and intercepting 6 passes. All with little or no blitzing.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Victor Cruz had a ball, even if he caught just one.
The Giants’ electrifying wide receiver and fan favorite made his long-awaited return to game action Saturday, when the Giants defeated the Jets, 21-20, in the annual MetLife Bowl. Cruz caught only one pass – a four-yarder to the right side on the first play of the second half – but that didn’t mitigate his tremendous joy at playing his first game in 22 months. It’s possible a former Pro Bowler and Super Bowl winner never felt better about such a slim statistical line.
EAST RUTHERFORD: The New York Football Giants wanted to find out a couple of things during their first preseason game against the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium Friday night.
Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz talks to reporters following the Eagles 17-9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Lincoln Financial Field.
