Intro all right so we're just days ahead of the Eagles
week one match up with the Packers and not only did Jaylen hert speak on the match up with Green
Bay but he also gave his thoughts on going to Brazil and so did saquon Barkley and he seems
ready and excited to play in the NFL's first ever Brazil game plus multiple different guys including
Center cam Jurgens and offensive coordinator Kell Moore went in depth on the Eagles new strategy in
one key area on offense well the birds also got some major injury updates ahead of their week
one game as well so we're going to talk about that in all the other latest Eagles news ahead of
the match up with the Packers starting right now Eagles Wearing Black Helmets At Practice! hey guys welcome to the Philly fan 21 Channel
if you're new I'm Evan and I cover all things Philadelphia Eagles and we're finally here it's
game week for the Eagles as in just four short days the birds will take on the Packers in Brazil
to kick off their season and which should be a really exciting matchup and a matchup where the
birds also will be unveiling a New Jersey combo that will feature their black helmets that they've
exclusively only so far worn in the 2022 season and they've been rocking these black helmets at
practice so far and preparation for the game and I got to say I kind of forgot how good they looked
and it's just getting me pumped to see them again in an actual game and again this is just a great
match up that the Eagles have to open the season Jalen Hurts SPEAKS On Packers! against a good football team in the Packers and
jayen Herz actually spoke about that on Sunday as he realizes that the birds are going to have their
work cut out for them this this is a really good team it's a really good team they got a lot of
really good players have a really good quarterback and running back and receiver core and the D line
is D line is is is really good and attacking the ball and uh creating problems up front and we
just um you know it comes down to preparation you you guys have heard me say it enough you
know how how we uh how we prepare and how we have prepared you know and um having an opportunity to
dis display that and compete against a really good team again I do think the Packers are a good
football team and they could definitely make some noise in the NFC this year and while I know
Jaylen and the Eagles are going to be prepared like he said this is still definitely a tough test
for the birds to open the year and what makes it Nick Sirianni REVEALS Mindset Ahead Of Brazil! even harder obviously is the fact that the game is
in Brazil which means an extra long 9 and 1 half hour flight for the team while they also lose a
game at the link and that's not even mentioning all the concerns regarding player safety overblown
or not that I talked about in my last video so it definitely does add a whole new element to the
week one opener and does make things a little bit tougher but head coach Nick serani doesn't
seem to be focused on that as he outlined his and the team's mentality ahead of their trip to
South America yeah we're we're going there to to play and win a foot win a football game that's
our that's our goal that's our you know um our only goal as we go down there and so you know it's
just putting it's just getting everybody in the right mindset of what you want you what you need
to be when you go down there it's like uh you can control the things that you can control you like
like we're going to Brazil to play that's that's what it is and we're excited about that what we
can control is our effort what we can control is our attitude what we can control is our core
values and that's what we're going to focus on this week yeah I mean pretty much like Nick said
it is what it is and they just have to make the most of it I mean sure it's definitely not ideal
that the Eagles have to go down to Brazil to open the season or that they lose a home game but at
the end of the day they just can't do anything about it and like coach said they just need to be
worried worried about controlling what they can control and going down there to win a football
game and I also think something that can't hurt Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts EXCITED About Brazil! and can only help in this situation is just having
a positive attitude about it and that's exactly what both saquin Barkley and jayen Herz have as
they both seem at least a little bit excited for this opportunity to play in the NFL's first ever
Brazil game my mindset to go out there be locked in and try try do what we can to come out with
a win and I think everyone's talking about you know not saying us but you the questions that's
been asked and you see in the media is oh what's going on there I look at at opportunity we get
to play on something we could to do something that no one in NFL has ever done before um and
I'm excited about that I think it's a it's a Once on a lifetime opportunity something to be
very excited about you know the international stage Brazil from what I've heard it's it's a very
amazing Place beautiful place um and a very very passionate passionate place as well when it comes
to sports and and their fans and so I'm excited to get a taste of that so again you got to love the
qb1 and the star running back both have positive attitudes about this and saquon's right this is
an opportunity to do something that no team has ever done before which is exciting and also a good
way of looking at it and for jayen Herz you also just know that you don't have to worry about his
preparation or mindset at all going into this game so regardless how you may feel about the birds
having to go down to Brazil you still at least got to feel good about both jayen and saquin and where
their heads are at but one thing that heading into Dallas Goedert and Isaiah Rodgers INJURY UPDATES! Sunday at least I didn't feel so great about was
the injury situation involving a few key Eagles being Dallas Goddard and Isaiah Roger as both have
missed time at practice with various injuries and with the opener being just days away that's not
exactly comforting and it makes you start to question what their status will be for the week
one matchup and naturally Nick siani was asked about the injury status of both Goddard and Rogers
ahead of practice on Sunday and this is what he said yeah you guys will get a injury report I
don't think what Bob what day Tuesday so you might not get it quite as early as you normally have you
guys kind of know my year four now you not kind of know where I am on injuries and talking about
injuries and stuff like that they're working hard to get back yeah it's no secret at this point that
serani doesn't give the media much information when it comes to injury updates and while we
are still going to have to wait until tomorrow to get the official injury report like Nick said
we did get a positive development on Sunday as both Dallas gard and Isaiah Rogers were back out
on the practice field getting ready for the week one opener so it certainly seems like both guys
are on track to play which that's just fantastic because both are going to have huge roles on this
team this year obviously and will be important pieces for them so again it's certainly nice that
it doesn't seem like either of them will miss time but now moving on from that the Eagles also
made a couple of roster moves yesterday as they Eagles SIGN 2 Players To Practice Squad! signed two guys back to the practice squad in wide
receiver Griffin a bear and tight end Kevin folch and these of course are two guys that were with
the Eagles during camp and preseason so it makes sense that the birds would want to bring them back
especially with them needing to fill out the rest of their practice squad but now switching over
to one of the big pieces of news from last week Nick Sirianni Talks About DeVonta Smith NOT Being a Captain! we look at the Eagles Captain selections for this
year and one of the most surprising things from that is that the fourth year wide receiver Devonte
Smith wasn't one of them despite being one last year and Nick serani actually spoke about this in
his recent press conference and don't worry we're going to get into that and so much more in just a
minute but real quick I do want to say if you are enjoying this video and don't want to miss any
other eagles coverage or content just like this coming throughout the entire season then make sure
you subscribe and also really really importantly turn on notifications so you're notified instantly
when one of these videos is uploaded I think that's a win one for the both of us because
not only do I get more people consistently watching these videos but you don't miss any other
eagles content or coverage just like this so again subscribe turn on notifications and also drop a
like let's see if we can hit 800 likes on today's video now with that being said let's get back into
the video now as I was saying in his Sunday press conference Nick Sani made sure to make it clear
that just because Smitty isn't selected to be a captain it doesn't mean that he's still not a
leader of this football team you know everyone there's a lot of guys that got votes right I had
to go with the guys that that got the most votes there and just because uh Devonte didn't have
as many votes as some of the other guys doesn't mean he's not still a leader on this football team
um and you know that goes for a lot of guys that goes for saquan right that goes for who's been a
captain for for many years and and so and I and again this is you know Chanty like all these guys
and so just because they aren't the captain and have the sea on their chest doesn't mean they're
not the lead the leaders of this football team so yeah I mean when it got announced I definitely
thought it was interesting that Smitty wasn't a captain but I also just wasn't going to make
a big deal about it cuz I know that it's not the end of the world and like Nick said him not
being a captain doesn't mean that he's not still one of the leaders on this football team and that
applies to multiple other guys as well like saquon Barkley and CJ Gunner Johnson as serani said so
I'm looking forward to Smitty and these other guys also growing and making an impact throughout the
season as leaders and I feel the same way about Jalen Hurts Talks Jordan Mailata's Captain Selection! Jordan Mila who was selected to be a captain
actually for the first time in his career which is just awesome and Jaylen Harts actually spoke
about this as he praed milot for his character and Leadership I think he he's consistently
who he is he's he's been a guy that has been here for for for a good length of time and very
passionate about what he does very uplifting has has built a a chip over time i' say in a good
way um and I just love him you know he's there for his teammates you know I know there's a there's
a picture maybe 2021 uh of him being there for me you know in the moment where we kind of we came
up short in the game and you know that that's the that's the type of teammate he was and after that
moment you know a lot of wins uh started coming so um he just needs to continue to be the leader he
is continue to grow as a player um and continue to be himself that's that's that's enough for him
you got to love hearing this from qb1 I think it's safe to say that milata has earned his captain
selection and I honestly think it's just really cool to think about how milata arrived in Philly
just six years ago having never played football before and now he's one of the best tackles
in the game with a massive contract and he's a team captain I mean I just think it's a really
cool story and also a big story for the Eagles Eagles O-Line vs Packers D-Line is KEY! and Packers week one match up is going to be the
Packers defensive line versus the Eagles offensive line as the Packers have a really talented group
up front and Makai beckon says that stopping it is going to be crucial to the eagle success in
this game uh this this a lot of things we got to key in on their they their their defense is based
on rning line so we have to we have to dominate the front to win the game yeah I mean again this
is definitely going to be an interesting matchup to watch in this game as the Eagles interior the
offensive line has obviously been shaken up since Kelce retired with Cam Jurgens moving to Center
and beckon now being the Right Guard so this will definitely be an early test for them to open up
the season now the good news is that both beckon Cam Jurgens Talks Eagles NEW Pass Pro Strategy! and cam jorgens have had really good training
camps respectively and both seem to be ready to be successful in their new role especially cam who
has really handled this transition since Kelsey retired so so well and part of this transition
is obviously now being the guy who's making the calls to the line and getting protection set in
joint effort with jayen Herz who is also taken on more responsibility in that area and this
communication and collaboration between the two of them regarding predictions is something that
cam seems to view as a positive uh yeah I mean it's agree with group effort and I think it's
it's better that way because there's too many times where we be mixing flip-flopping and then
not everybody knows where we're going especially you know that's tough at quarterback when things
get changed and he doesn't know exactly where his hot routes may be because we flipped it and it's
you know sometimes you pick it all up and it's great and then when you don't it's it's bad so
theoretically the fact that Jen has a little to do with the protections and what he also can do it
could make it look better because he now there's a that's what I'm saying just make sure everybody's
on the same page and you know that starts jayen o line receivers if you if you check something make
sure everybody's knowing where we're at with it it's certainly going to be interesting to watch
how much not having Kelsey changes things up front in just regards to getting protection set but
everything we've heard so far has been positive as hurt seems to be taking on this additional
responsibility in stride while many positive things have been said about Cam and how he's
done a great job with this as well and Jurgens is also right in saying that having everybody
on the same page is going to be key when it comes to getting this right and that's also
key when it comes to picking up the Blitz and Jalen Hurts Says Eagles Have IMPROVED Against Blitz And More! having answers ready to go against it which is
something that jayen Herz says they've gotten better at during this offseason along with a lot
of other things offensively I think we I think we've gotten better in all aspects I think we've
gotten better in all aspects I think there are some things that are more Garing right that we
see that pop out more um pointed to the eye but I think there are a ton of different things that
we need to improve on and I think as a football team we've taken steps in the right direction
and now we have the opportunity to assess what we are and that's the exciting part about it
I'm just really really excited to see how this new look Eagles offense looks as a whole and
obviously how they handle the blit is going to be a very big part of that just due to the
fact that they struggled so badly against it to end off last season but they've worked a ton
on it this offseason and Kell Morris come in and provided more answers against it and speaking
of more he talked to the media before practiced Kellen Moore Breaks Down Eagles Pass Pro Plans! today and he was asked about the Eagles pass
protection plans and the QB and centers role in them and he went in depth on how the Eagles
went about creating their strategy I think there's awareness to the different perspective Ives uh
just the viewpoints of obviously a center and a quarterback I think uh you know I think we spent
a ton of time this offseason really just building a very collaborative Collective effort is from
a protection standpoint that um you know really doesn't hang on one person uh it's a collective
thing it's it's really hone honing in on making sure everyone's on the same page cuz um doesn't
have to be the perfect perfect calls it has to be the right calls where everyone understands the
rules and the issues and the strengths of each and every look so so again just like what jorgens
said it sounds like the eagles pass protection is going to be a joint effort mainly between Cam
jorgens and Jaylen herdz with both having big responsibilities in it and the key to it being
successful is just everyone being on the same page so again I'm certainly interested in watching
how the pass protection looks with Kelsey gone and under this new strategy but we'll of course get
our first glimpse of that when the birds open this Outro season in Brazil on Friday and I'm of course
going to be covering everything from that as well as all the other Eagles news throughout this
entire season so again if you guys don't want to miss any of that make sure you subscribe and also
