Streicher-USA TODAY SportsYou’re not wrong to have high expectations for the
Philadelphia Eagles. Several factors point to them being a well constructed team
with an excellent head coach at the helm. Just how good are they? Are they 2017
good?Benjamin Solak seems to think so. If the Eagles’ 2019 roster is indeed up
to par with the 2017 roster, or better, is there another team that could
challenge them as the most loaded squad? Solak thinks the New Orleans Saints
have a strong case. He recently praised the Saints’ talent in his piece for The
Draft Network:If the Eagles aren’t the most loaded, it’s darn close. There’s
also further reason for high expectations considering the adversity they dealt
with in 2018. Despite checking in as the second worst team in Football
Outsiders’ “adjusted games lost”, they won a playoff game. In fact, they were
the team most impacted by injuries to notch a win in the playoffs since the
metric was created over a decade ago. A regression to the mean could spell big
things for the Eagles in 2019.We go into further detail on the Eagles roster and
expectations on The Kist & Solak Show #95! Listen on the media player below

on how to listen to BGN! FLY EAGLES FLY! Chris Herndon is not the superstitious
type. So, he's totally fine with talking about his three-game touchdown
streak.The New York Jets' rookie tight end would rather chat about something
else, though."I mean, it's definitely nice to get into the end zone, but it
feels a lot better when we're winning
Nick Foles Jersey ," Herndon said Friday. "So, it's been fun these last three weeks, getting a few targets in the end zone and capitalizing on them, but
ultimately I want us to win, so I don't try to focus on the stats."Herndon is
the second rookie in franchise history to catch a TD pass in three straight
games, joining wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson (1996).But, as he said, the end
result hasn't always been there. His first NFL touchdown came in the Jets' 42-34
win over Indianapolis on Oct. 14, when he had a 32-yard grab.Herndon had a
12-yard catch against Minnesota the following week to tie the game at 7 late in
the first quarter. New York ended up losing 37-17.Last week at Chicago, Herndon
had a 16-yard TD reception in the Jets' disappointing 24-10 loss.He'll try to
make it four in a row ??and
http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-deandre-carter-jersey , he hopes, with a victory ??when New York travels to Miami, where Herndon played
his college ball."I just think the offense slowed down for him," coach Todd
Bowles said. "I think from a mental standpoint, he's playing faster because he
can see everything that's coming and his abilities are starting to take over
without even thinking."Herndon was a fourth-round pick in April after a solid
college career that was cut short last year by a knee injury. Some draft experts
thought he could have been as high as a second-rounder if not for him being
hurt."I'm definitely thankful to be here," he said. "I don't take any of this
for granted because at this time last year, I was dealing with being injured.
So, just being able to play in a professional league, that alone is an honor.He
tore the medial collateral ligament in his left knee before the Hurricanes were
getting set to play in the ACC title game against Clemson. That was the end of
his season and his career ??but he refused to believe his NFL dreams would be
over."I mean, not doubts
Womens Nigel Bradham Jersey ," he said, "but it wasn't necessarily the best time to, you know, go down."With him slipping into the fourth round, the
Jets took a chance on him even though he needed to continue rehabilitating his
knee through the early part of the offseason.Herndon's role with the team was
uncertain as New York had several tight ends on its roster during the spring.
The 22-year-old native of Norcross, Georgia, also found himself in trouble with
the law when he was arrested on June 2 for driving while intoxicated after
flipping his car in New Jersey.He was remorseful after the arrest, and thankful
to the Jets for sticking by him during his legal issues. Herndon leaned on his
faith while acknowledging that he had doubts about what was next for him."You
kind of do, but that's when I just started praying more and letting God handle
all that," he said. "Just controlling all I can at that point. I was strong with
it and I'm still learning and growing with it each day."Herndon could
potentially be disciplined by the NFL for next season
Brandon Brooks Jersey , but he will let that play out. His mind right now is on getting better ??on and off the field.And, things are certainly looking up
as far as his play.Herndon has 12 catches ??seven in the last three games ??for
161 yards and the three TDs, which tie him with Robby Anderson for the team
lead. He and Philadelphia's Dallas Goedert have the most by a rookie tight end
this season, and one more would break the Jets' single-season mark for rookies
at the position ??currently shared with Rich Caster (1970), Mickey Shuler (1978)
and Dustin Keller (2008).And, Herndon has another eight games to do it."Yeah, I
was actually kind of surprised when I heard that news," he said. "I'm honestly
just thankful."Herndon and rookie quarterback Sam Darnold were roommates for a
stretch during training camp and developed a friendship off the field."Whenever
we came home, either one of us had questions, especially me
http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-malik-jackson-jersey , because I'm the tight end, I just asked him," Herndon said. "That kind of
helped."Now, they're creating a bond on the field that's resulting in some big
plays."First of all, he's is a great route runner," Darnold said. "But also,
he's a great run blocker, which helps in the pass game. It sets up play action
and all that stuff. Whenever you have a versatile tight end like him, it always
helps an offense."
