NFL Free Pick: Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants

He spent 10 years as an Eagles assistant previously (1999-2008), before coming back in 2013 as Kelly’s offensive coordinator.

Chip Kelly may have gotten fired by the Eagles on Tuesday, but he apparently doesn’t plan on being out of coaching for very long. Here’s a list of Eagles quarterbacks who have done that: Donovan McNabb, Randall Cunningham, Sonny Jurgensen, Ron Jaworski, Sam Bradford. It’s going to be a busy offseason. The Eagles could use their franchise tag to keep him off the market, but the $20- to $25-million cost would be prohibitive.

However, those suspicions were temporarily laid to rest when the Eagles went 3-1 in their four preseason games. Nobody. Who can they draft better than me? On Sunday, Shurmur wanted his players to disregard the unknown of the future and just worry about three hours of football. Lurie had the right to expect a season’s worth of the excellence it would show in Week 17. He allowed Bradford more leeway in terms of audibles out of plays and into more advantageous calls. After taking the lead by turning a DeMarco Murray fumble into a 45-yard touchdown pass to Reuben Randle midway through the third, the Giants were looking to tack on another touchdown. The Eagles have too many needs to give picks up.

“There wasn’t really much different”, Shurmur said. “We’ve got to overcome things like that”. He said after the game that he would need to consider the new coach’s scheme when determining whether he would return to Philadelphia next season. Most likely, Murray would have taken a shotgun handoff and maybe plowed ahead for a three-yard gain. Zach Ertz finished with nine catches for 152 yards.

Matthews could turn in the 24 1,000-yard receiving season in Eagles’ history, a feat accomplished by 12 players.

Pat Shurmur thought Giants running back Rashad Jennings stepped out of bounds on a long run late in the first quarter.

A fine play-Murray is making it look a running drill out there.

Reece said he thinks Kelly’s demise was brought about by poor personnel decisions and the bad contracts that came along with them.

“I think I’ll definitely be the right woman for the job”. Giants ownership and general manager Jerry Reese have noted in recent years that teams win nowadays by scoring points.

Rashad Jennings rushed for a season-high 170 yards and scored a touchdown for the Giants.

In the teams’ first meeting this season, the Giants took an early 7-0 and were driving for another score when DeMeco Ryans swiped the ball out of tight end Larry Donnell’s hands on what first appeared to be a completion. “He’s going to lead you”. But linebacker Connor Barwin beat Giants left tackle Ereck Flowers and hit Manning from behind.
