as a step in the right direction on Sunday Authentic Alshon Jeffery Jersey , when the Philadelphia Eagles fell to the Carolina Panthers after the visiting team launched an unanswered 21-point comeback with just over 10 minutes to play. There were some good things to come out of the Week 7 matchup, but the absolute collapse in the fourth quarter has brought to light a whole new round of questions. Head coach Doug Pederson spoke to the media on Monday and talked a bit about what went wrong, what they’re doing to fix it, and why the sky isn’t falling just yet.Here’s what the head coach had to say:On 4th quarter collapseDuring the Panthers fourth-quarter run, they averaged nine yards per snap, and Pederson was asked if that’s a scheme issue or personnel problem. After a bit of hedging, the head coach noted it wasn’t really a problem with either.He went on to explain how the pass rush was still making an impact on Cam, but sure, the team could do better with their tackling and limiting the yards after catch. Pederson also said that the guys could do a better job with situational awareness, about where they are in the game and the timing of it.Even watching the film today, the head coach said he doesn’t feel like the defense slowed down at all in the fourth quarter.He also noted that you could sit and point fingers at the defense, but the offense had a chance to win the game at the end http://www.philadelphiaeaglesteamonlines.com/stefen-wisniewski-jersey , and they didn’t come through either — and on special teams missing that kick could have been the difference in a win as well. Pederson said there’s enough blame to pass around for the problems on Sunday.On motivating his team moving forwardPederson expanded on his post-game comments about the pressure being off of players, and wanted to clarify that by no means does that mean they aren’t going to put in the work. But rather, sometimes players and coaches put added pressure on themselves to create plays, and that’s where they have to learn you don’t have to seek out those moments, and instead wait for the opportunity to present itself and when it does, make the play.On why guys are putting that extra pressure on their shoulders, and Pederson noted that they are professional athletes and they have a want and need to perform — not to mention having some younger guys out there trying to earn a (more permanent) roster spot with each play.Pederson said he wanted to reiterate that to the team, to just relax and go out and play and have some fun.Later on, the head coach was asked how he can get his guys to dial back that pressure especially coming off a loss when they might feel like they need to prove themselves. Pederson said it’s about coaching them up and talking to them, he also mentioned (although emphasized it was just spit-balling) maybe scaling back the number of plays they run on offense, or scale back some of the load at practice — whatever he can do to keep the guys refreshed and energized heading into a game.On Carson Wentz and the offensePederson was asked if he thought the quarterback tried to hard to make something happen late in the game, especially when there may have been other options available. The head coach stood by Wentz and said that trying to create a big moment is in a quarterback’s nature Authentic Nate Gerry Jersey , but at the end of the day, in those situations, Pederson wants the ball in Carson’s hands. He wants Wentz to have control of helping the team winning a football game.The head coach was asked what he sees missing personnel-wise as a play caller, and Pederson pointed out that they were facing a big and tough Carolina defense, so it was a tough team to run the ball against anyway, but that most of the runs were off RPOs.Despite the lack of the run game, the team managed 300-plus passing yards and were able to capitalize in that aspect of the offense — including big games for Alshon Jeffery and Zach Ertz. So overall, Pederson thinks the Eagles offense is right where they need to be in order to find success personnel wise.There were some questions later on about Pederson’s play calling and whether he thought he should have been more aggressive in some situations (no) and whether he thought he should have called some more deep passes (also, no). Bottom line, he called what he called and hindsight is 20/20.You can also tell that Pederson is super over answering questions about his running back room, and he emphasized again today that he has not lost confidence in the run game at all. He continued to say that the offensive line is a really talented group and the backs are as well.He’s not giving up — that’s for sure“Listen, I got so much confidence in this football team http://www.philadelphiaeaglesteamonlines.com/lane-johnson-jersey , you don’t understand.”Pederson went on to say that just the difference of 2 or 3 plays, and then Eagles would be sitting at 5-2 and the conversation around the team would be a lot different.“We’re gonna get this fixed.” Redskins cornerback Josh Norman pushed back Thursday on Eric Reid's criticism of Malcolm Jenkins and The Players Coalition.Reid and Jenkins had a heated exchange before Sunday's game between Reid's Carolina Panthers and Jenkins' Philadelphia Eagles.Jenkins co-founded The Players Coalition, a group focused on racial and social justice. Reid, a former member, took issue with the group's direction and expressed his concerns following the Panthers' 21-17 win."You have fiction people, and then you have non-fiction people," said Norman, who is part of the Coalition's leadership. "The ones who are actually in the room are the non-fiction people, people who actually know the facts of everything, the details."Reid, who signed with the Panthers in September, separated from the socially active coalition last fall and was critical Sunday in part because of the organization's ties to the league.The league is committing $90 million over the next seven years to social justice causes in a three-segment plan that involves players."We believe a lot of players should have stepped up for Colin (Kaepernick) http://www.philadelphiaeaglesteamonlines.com/zach-ertz-jersey ," Reid said Sunday. "I believe Malcolm capitalized on the situation. He co-opted the movement that was started by Colin to get his organization funded. It's cowardly. (Jenkins) sold us out."Following Washington's practice Thursday, Norman spoke for nearly 10 minutes on the issue."(Reid) was part of (The Players Coalition) at one point in time. He went to the direction, of, 'OK, if Kaepernick is not the leader, then this is all for none.' Our take was, 'I'm sorry, but if guys voted for (Kaepernick) to be that, then OK, so be it. But it wasn't that.'"Kaepernick did not attend a meeting between players and owners last fall."(Kaepernick) started something at that time which everybody saw, but what did he do with that?" Norman said. "Where was the ball carried from that? What is it doing now? I've got facts to where guys are doing things in the Players Coalition that is making changes, making true changes in what is going on right now."Norman took Reid calling Jenkins a sellout personally."Come on. He's not only coming at (Malcolm) http://www.eaglescheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-corey-graham-jersey , he's coming at our whole entire group, The Players Coalition. My thing is if guys were going to follow (Kaepernick), they would have done it. That's my whole thing. But if you don't have a direction of where you're going with the whole thing, how (are) we going to follow you? I can't follow you to the abyss. ... You've got to have a plan."Norman said he attempted to call Reid multiple times this week. The two played on the same field Oct. 14 when Washington hosted Carolina, but the coalition was not discussed, according to Norman."(Reid) saw me the week before he did everything in Philly. He could have said that. I just feel like that all is for show. The truth of the matter is it's all about the facts."We've got the facts, and there is nothing you can tell me anything different. I don't care about the outside noise or what the people say. They can say whatever they want to, but you're not just about to come up in this group and just talk about (this) and think nobody else is going to say nothing about it."
