” It is probably a little more hard with the quarterback position due to the fact that with Carson and Nate (Sudfeld), making certain these 2 men get the representatives they require,” Pederson said. “You need to make sure Jalen is comfy with the playbook and understands what were doing as an offense, so the assessment procedure may take a bit longer with the quarterback. But were going to do everything we can to make sure all of our people are prepared. Jalen is no different.”
Injures didnt get on the field with the Eagles coaches throughout the offseason program since the NFL limited its teams to online work. He also will not have the possibility to reveal what he can do in preseason games due to the fact that the NFL canceled the preseason schedule.
Philadelphia held its first full-speed practice of training camp today, and with the season-opening video game against Washington set for Sept. 13, that doesnt leave the Eagles much time to get the starters ready, let alone to assess a novice quarterback for a backup role.
The Philadelphia Eagles evaluated Jalen Hurts skill at quarterback as worth a second-round pick in the NFL Draft on April 24. However as a vocal skill, he might have rated as an undrafted novice.
The former Alabama quarterback tried to sing Al Greens “Love and Happiness” throughout the talent show staged by the Eagles rookies, and veteran pass receiver DeSean Jackson shared a part of the performance.
On the field, Hurts is attempting to earn the area as the backup to Carson Wentz in Philadelphia. However remarks made by Eagles coach Doug Pederson on Friday during an appearance on WIP-FMs “Angelo Cataldi and the Morning Team” seemed to indicate that wouldnt take place– not because Hurts isnt sufficient, but due to the fact that the NFLs reaction to the coronavirus pandemic will not permit him to have the opportunity.
JALEN HURTS ISNT PLANNING ON BEING A GADGET PLAYER WITH EAGLES
Sudfeld got in the NFL as a sixth-round selection in the 2016 draft. Hes played in only 3 regular-season games and missed the 2019 season after suffering a damaged wrist in a preseason game.
” Next Monday, we begin our padded part of camp,” Pederson said, “and the way things are established, well have opportunities to evaluate these young players. However at the exact same time, weve got ensure that our starters are all set to go once again since the very first time we see a different color jersey its a real video game and it counts and it matters. Yeah, its a bit more challenging, however were going to make things work.”
The Eagles were expected to open their 2020 preseason schedule against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night. Under the pandemic schedule, Philadelphia will not have its first practice in pads until Monday.
Pederson stated he d been “amazed” with Hurts progress, but the coach showed Sudfelds experience in the Philadelphia offense made him the No. 2 choice provided the shortened schedule.
