http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-corey-clement-jersey , the 1930s:FRANCHISESThe 1930 season was played with 11 clubs, including the Portsmouth Spartans — who became the Detroit Lions in 1934 — the lone newcomer. It also marked the final season for the Minneapolis Red Jackets and Newark Tornadoes. The Frankford Yellow Jackets and Providence Steam Roller left the league after 1931. It was also the first (and only) campaign for the Cleveland Indians. The league dropped to eight members in ’32, including the new Boston Braves — who became the Boston Redskins in 1933 before moving to Washington four years later. The Staten Island Stapletons also played their final season in ’32.The NFL saw its biggest influx of teams for the decade in 1933, with the additions of the Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Pirates (later the Steelers) and Cincinnati Reds. By 1934, every team except the Packers was located in a city that also had a major league baseball team and a stadium. The Reds didn’t make it through their second season, though, as they lost their first eight games while scoring just one touchdown and one field goal, and were suspended by the NFL for not paying league dues. The independent St. Louis Gunners replaced them for the last three games.The league played with nine teams the next two years before the addition of the Cleveland Rams in 1937. The NFL was a 10-team league for its final three seasons of the 1930s.TOP TEAMSThe Packers won four titles in the 1930s, including the first two of the decade — capping a run of three straight — when they finished with the league’s best record. Green Bay also won in 1936 and ’39.Portsmouth and the Chicago Bears finished the 1932 season tied for first place, so the NFL held its first tiebreaker playoff game to determine the league champion. Frigid weather forced the game to be moved from Wrigley Field to the indoor Chicago Stadium, on a field that was just 80 yards long — including two half-moon-shaped end zones — and was 45 yards wide. The Bears won 9-0.Due to the success and interest of the playoff tiebreaker, the NFL created its first league championship game in 1933 after dividing its clubs into two five-team divisions. Chicago beat the New York Giants 23-21 at Wrigley Field, with the Bears scoring the winning touchdown with less than three minutes left when receiver Bill Hewitt caught a pass from fullback Bronko Nagurski and lateraled to end Bill Karr, who ran it in for the 19-yard score.The other champions that decade: the Giants (1934 and ’38), Lions (’35) and Redskins (’37).TOP PLAYERSNagurski was a powerful and dominant fullback who began his career with the Bears in 1930 and played nine seasons with Chicago. He was one of nine players in the 1930s to be inducted in the first Pro Football Hall of Fame class in 1963, joining Red Grange, Don Hutson, Johnny Blood Womens DeSean Jackson Jersey , Ernie Nevers, Cal Hubbard, Mel Hein, Dutch Clark and Sammy Baugh.George “Moose” Musso was a two-way standout for the Bears, playing guard and tackle on offense and nose guard on defense. He was the first player in league history to win all-NFL honors at two positions, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982.Byron “Whizzer” White might be best known as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, but he also made a mark on the gridiron. He led the NFL in rushing as a rookie in 1938 with the Pirates. He left Pittsburgh to study at Oxford in 1939, returned to the league in 1940 and played two seasons with the Lions.TOP COACHESCurly Lambeau won four NFL titles in the decade as the Packers were the league’s powerhouse.Steve Owen led the Giants to two titles, the last of his three as a head coach in the NFL.Ralph “Curley” Jones guided the Bears to the championship in 1932, but general manager George Halas took over as the coach the following year to save money — and also won to complete Chicago’s back-to-back titles.MEMORABLE GAMESThe 1934 championship game between the Giants and Bears became known as the “Sneakers Game.” The field at the Polo Grounds in New York was frozen and the Giants were trailing 13-3 in the third quarter. They changed their sneakers to get better traction — and rallied to beat the previously undefeated Bears 30-13.The Dodgers and Eagles made TV and pro football history on Oct. 22, 1939, when they played in the NFL’s first televised game. It was broadcast by NBC as a special event for visitors at the World’s Fair in New York, and area residents were also able to watch as Brooklyn won 23-14.GAME CHANGERSThe 1932 playoff game paved the way for several rules changes, including making the forward pass legal from anywhere behind the line of scrimmage after a passer previously needed to be at least 5 yards behind.Eagles owner Bert Bell, who later became the league’s commissioner, created the NFL draft as a way to assist teams who couldn’t attract top talent in the free-for-all system that had been in place. Philadelphia had the top pick in the first draft in 1936 and took Heisman Trophy winner Jay Berwanger, a halfback from the University of Chicago who opted to not play professional football.FUN FACTIn 1936, the Boston Redskins won the Eastern Division and were scheduled to host the championship game against Green Bay. But because of scant fan support at home, Redskins owner George Preston Marshall moved the game to the Polo Grounds in New York — where the Packers won 21-6. Marshall then relocated the Redskins to Washington to start the 1937 season Cameron Johnston Jersey , and they’ve played there since.

As I’ve heard it, there wasn’t any sort of breakthrough moment during organized team activities. He’s just been himself again (if a little leaner physically), and that’s enough. The four-year, $128 million extension with $66 million fully guaranteed at signing should be taken as it appears, the team doubling down on the quarterback they invested so much draft capital in three years ago. At the same time, if the Eagles are right about Wentz health-wise, the deal should age exceptionally well. At a time when quarterbacks having been topping one another at crazy rate—from Andrew Luck to Derek Carr to Matthew Stafford to Jimmy Garoppolo to Kirk Cousins to Matt Ryan to Aaron Rodgers to Russell Wilson—Wentz didn’t move that needle. His $32 million average fell $3 million short of Wilson, and when you fold in the two existing years (and add $4.4 million in leftover cap debt), the Eagles will be managing an average of under $27 million per year against their cap between now and 2024, which is pretty reasonable considering the current value of franchise quarterbacks.Joe Banner explains why Eagles fans should be “very, very, very happy” about the Carson Wentz contract - BGNTo further support Banner’s point about Wentz’s cap percentage, let’s assume the NFL salary cap continues to increase by the $11.34 million annual average it has over the last five years. If that’s the case, Wentz’s ~$27 million cap number in 2021 (for example) should be taking up around 12.6% of the Eagles’ total cap space. [...] As you can see, it’s hardly impossible for teams to win a Super Bowl(s) with a quarterback that takes up the percentage of cap space Wentz is projected to account for.Eagles 2019 locker room seating chart - PhillyVoiceOn the chart within, the players at the top of the chart are in the back of the locker room. View the chart below as if you’re walking into the locker room from the bottom of the chart. At 53 man cutdowns http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-paul-worrilow-jersey , the temporary middle rows will be removed and all 53 players (plus 10 practice squad guys) will fit in somewhere along the left or right walls.More Front Office Talk - Iggles BlitzWhen you hear Daniel Jeremiah praise the Eagles scouting staff, this is why. That is a deep, talented group of evaluators. I didn’t list Andy Weidl and Andrew Berry, who would be the top two executives. I wanted to focus on others, who are lesser known, but very important parts of the roster building that has gone on in recent years. Douglas helped the Eagles build a great scouting staff. Now they have to figure out who should run that staff. I am interested to see if the Eagles promote Weidl to Douglas’ role. Replacing Douglas won’t be easy, in part because he’s got an odd job description. I remember that Slash talked about how hard it was for Guns n’ Roses to replace Izzy Stradlin. They struggled to explain exactly what Izzy did and that made it tough on the guys trying to replace him. Izzy was much more than just a rhythm guitar player.Answering the biggest fantasy questions for all 32 NFL teams - ESPNHow will backfield touches be distributed? Jordan Howard and rookie Miles Sanders will share the bulk of the reps. Look for Sanders to take on a heavier workload and assume the job of primary ball carrier as the season progresses. Coach Doug Pederson sees Boston Scott as a guy who can fill the Darren Sproles role. He and Corey Clement are among the other backs vying for snaps.Future bright for Eagles after handing keys to Carson - NBCSPThe Eagles look primed to compete for the foreseeable future after signing Carson Wentz through 2024 with a record-breaking contract.Press Pass: Nate Sudfeld - PE.comQuarterback Nate Sudfeld speaks to the media about the life of a backup quarterback and more.How Jets GM Joe Douglas should replicate the Eagles, Part 1: Building around homegrown talent - Gang Green NationThe Eagles’ mindset has been the opposite for decades starting with Roseman’s mentor Joe Banner. Under Banner the Eagles pioneered the practice of locking up young players as early as possible. Considering the fact the salary cap has risen by at least $10 million for six straight years, signing players early can be a great money saver. If you wait a year to strike a deal, the cap will likely have gone up. When the cap goes up, a player’s market value goes up with it. Better to get a deal done early. Just this week the Eagles struck an early extension with their young quarterback Carson Wentz, and one expert noted it will likely bring long-term savings.Ranking the NFC East, 2019: Quarterbacks - Hogs HavenCarson Wentz is a big, strong QB who can make all the throws, but who, at times, can become a bit too much of a risk taker. He has excellent chemistry with his big bodied tight ends, and Alshon Jeffery. When it comes to the best QB in the division, as of right now Womens Richard Rodgers Jersey , in my opinion, it’s Carson Wentz.Valentine’s Views: The Eli Manning-Daniel Jones narrative, defensive gamble, more - Big Blue ViewJones has been everything Dave Gettleman and the Giants could have hoped for so far this spring. I disagree with some who have written that they believe Manning hasn’t been good this spring, that his arm doesn’t have zip, that he looks like he’s losing it. I think he’s been fine. I think he’s made a lot of good throws, especially some deep balls and long outs. He’s not going to throw the ball with the zip he did 10 years ago, but he can still deliver it on time and on target. Maybe you will say I’m looking at it through Manning-issued glasses, but I believe there is a narrative being pushed by some who want Manning out of the lineup sooner rather than later.Report: Cowboys and Dak Prescott “not close” on contract extension, talks could go into training camp - Blogging The BoysThe quarterback market rose again on Thursday evening when the Philadelphia Eagles agreed to a four-year contract extension with Carson Wentz. This means a lot of things for the Dallas Cowboys and their signal-caller, Dak Prescott. Prescott, unlike Wentz, is entering the last year of his rookie contract in 2019. That is a great point of leverage for him as is the new deal in Philadelphia. In a market where the next guy gets more, it’s always good to be the next guy. We’d previously heard that the Cowboys and Prescott had exchanged contract offers but they don’t appear to be close to a resolution. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the two sides are in fact “not close” and this could go deep into training camp.The one thing every World Cup contender needs to win it all - SB NationThe United States and France are big favorites to win the World Cup, with Germany and England not far behind. But none of those four teams are without serious holes in their game. And more than ever, the teams right behind them look capable of pulling off upsets. Here’s what every team in the top eight of the FIFA world rankings needs to happen in order for them to become real World Cup contenders....Social Media Information:BGN Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBGN Twitter: Follow @BleedingGreenBGN Manager: Brandon Lee Gowton: Follow @BrandonGowtonBGN Radio Twitter: Follow @BGN_Radio
