The other early game saw B.C.s Kesa Van Osch claim a 7-3 victory over Strong.

This time last year there were doubts as to whether Chip Kellys fast-paced offence would translate well into the NFL. Bart Starr Packers Jersey . Those no longer exist. The questions this year are mostly just how
potent the Philadelphia Eagles offence can become under Kelly, entering
his second year as head coach.
The Eagles were the second ranked offence last season, and theres reason
to believe they could challenge to be the best this year. A lot of the
pieces are there, led by dual threat running back Lesean McCoy and
talented, come-from-nowhere quarterback Nick Foles. The final part of
the equation could bet the receivers.
With Desean Jackson now in Washington – and some arguing that move was
addition by subtraction – the Eagles are left without a leader among
their pass catchers, but a number of talented players who appear ready
to increase their role and their impact on games for the Eagles.
Jeremy Maclin is on many a fantasy experts breakout watch heading into
the season. Despite hovering around the 1,000-yard mark in each of his
four seasons, Maclin has yet to crack the mark. That figures to change
if the 26-year-old can stay healthy a year after tearing his ACL and
missing the whole season.
“I just know him from what Ive seen of him (before the injury),” Eagles
receivers coach Bob Bicknell told The Times of Trenton regarding Maclin.
“And he looks the same. Hes catching the ball, making plays. I dont
think hes lost anything from the injury.”
With Maclin moving up a slot to take Jacksons No. 1 targets,
Riley Cooper will slot into the No. 2 hole, previously held by Maclin
when healthy.
Cooper had a terrible start to the 2013 season when a video emerged of
him making racist comments. The soon-to-bet 27-year-old worked hard to
re-earn the trust of his teammates and take advantage of his
opportunities to produce a career-year. Like Maclin, Cooper has a shot
at 1,000 yards in the Eagles strong offence.
You can add McCoy and the teams two tight ends to the cast of players
that should contribute to Foles likely gaudy passing numbers. McCoy will
continue to be used a ton in the Eagles high octane offence, and could
improve on his 539 receiving yards from a year ago. Phillys top two
tight ends, Brent Celek and Zach Ertz, combined for 971 yards and 10
touchdowns. If one emerges and garners most of Foles targets, they could
join Maclin and Cooper as 1,000 yard threats.
Second-round pick Jordan Matthews is another solid addition to the
plethora of options for Foles to look to as well.
“We have some options,” Bicknell told The Times of Trenton ahead of
training camp. “Our room is a little different this year. Theres been
some change, but that makes it fun. Its challenging. I like our room.”
Until Maclin, or even Cooper proves theyre a bona fide No. 1 in this
league, Foles will be without the pure go-to receiver he had last year
in Jackson. But the formidable depth of the Eagles pass catchers this
year will go a long way in helping Foles from seeing any dip in
production from his Pro Bowl 2013.
Notes
While the offence will be great again this season, the defence needs
some work. The Eagles are hoping the continuity gained from a second
year under defensive coordinator Bill Davis will be enough to improve on
their 29th overall ranking last season and 32nd against the pass.
If continuity isnt enough, the Eagles did add a number of defensive
backs, including veteran safety Malcolm Jenkins, to help shore up the
teams troubles against the pass.
The Eagles used two early picks to add to their deep receiving corps in
Jordan Matthews (second round) and Joss Huff (third), but their first
round pick was spent on defence, grabbing edge rusher Marcus Smith out
of Louisville.

Davante Adams Packers Jersey .
Coach Rick Adelman was playing him only as a matter of last resort
despite a glaring need for help off the bench, and Williams was growing
increasingly frustrated with the sporadic minutes. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Packers Jersey . -- LeGarrette Blount wasnt satisfied with three short touchdown runs,
not against a team coming off the second greatest comeback in playoff
history.MONTREAL -- There was at least one tight battle in Rachel Homans
10 straight victories at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
Homan and her Canada rink from Ottawa had to fight back from a 3-0
deficit to defeat Saskatchewans Stefanie Lawton 7-6 on Thursday
afternoon at the Maurice Richard Arena.
Then the Homan rink posted an 8-5 victory over Newfoundlands Heather
Strong (4-7) in an evening match to secure first place in the round
robin portion of the tournament.
"Its good to have a game like that," Homan said of her win over
Saskatchewan (8-2). "All the time, every day, all week long would be
tough, but it was a great battle by both teams."
Homan mused this week about her chances to go undefeated in the
Scotties, which hasnt been done since Linda Moore in 1985. Jennifer
Jones, now competing for Canada at the Winter Olympics, went undefeated
in the round robin last year in Kingston, Ont., but then was beaten by
Homan in the final.
She has one round robin game left Friday against New Brunswicks Andrea
Crawford (6-4), who saw her playoff hopes dashed when Albertas Val
Sweeting (8-3) scored three in the ninth and then stole one in the 10th
to defeat Manitobas Chelsea Carey (8-2) 7-4.
Sweeting clinched a playoff spot and ensured no tiebreaker games would
be needed.
Carey had a chance at a big score in the 10th, but her angle raise just
failed to dislodge Sweetings shot stone.
Carey needs a win over P.E.I.s Kim Dolan (3-7) on Friday to finish
second and play Homan in the first versus second playoff game on Friday
night. The loser of that game plays the winner of the
third-versus-fourth game in the semifinal on Saturday.
The bronze medal game and the final are on Sunday.
Lawton, who lost to Manitoba in the round robin, is in third place. She
has a game left against Yukons Sarah Koltun (1-9).
Roars went up from the 2,415 spectators at the evening draw as Quebecs
Allison Ross (2-9) ended her tournament with a 5-3 win over Ontarios
Allison Flaxey (3-7). Flaxey plays Nova Scotias Heather Smith (3-7) on
Friday.
Going into the Saskatchewan game, Homans rink had outscored eight
opponents by a combined 71-30 and had not had to play a full 10 ends.
Some wondered if the one-sided wins would leave her vulnerable in the
playoffs because she had yet to make any shots under pressure. Don Barclay Packers Jersey.
She answered that with solid play in a close match, although one in
which Saskatchewans shot making faltered in the second half.
"That wasnt our strongest game as a team," said Lawton. "We can pick it
up.
"Rachels team played great and put pressure on us. We can finetune a few
of those shots and make them better."
Lawton said the fact that her squad didnt have its A-game gives her hope
if she ends up meeting Homan again in the playoffs.
"I know we can play better and well come out and push them even more,"
she said. "We had the lead and played a strong first half, but in the
second half we werent as strong and that showed on the scoreboard."
Homan wrecked on a guard to let Lawton score three in the second end.
Canada got two back in the third and another two in the seventh to make
it 5-5.
It was Lawtons turn to miss in the eighth with a draw that went a little
long to give Homan her first lead with a steal of one. Lawton tied it
in the ninth, but Homan had the hammer in the final end.
She still hasnt had to throw a 10th-end last rock because Lawtons final
steal attempt fell just short.
Carey clinched a playoff spot in the afternoon with a 9-8 win over
Flaxey on a point in an extra end.
"Thats step one -- making the playoffs," said Carey. "If Im in the
playoffs, Im a happy camper."
Crawford downed Koltun 5-4 and Dolan beat Smith 7-5.
Flaxey started the Scotties 1-5, but emerged as a spoiler Wednesday with
victories over Alberta and the Yukon.
She gave Carey a scare with a three in the sixth and another two in the
eighth for a 7-5 lead. But Carey rallied with three in the ninth and
held Flaxey to one in the 10th to force an extra end.
In the morning draw, Sweeting earned a 10-3 win over Ross. Ross opened
with the hammer but Sweeting had steals of two, three and two points
over the first three ends for a commanding 7-0 lead before Quebec scored
one in the fourth.
The other early game saw B.C.s Kesa Van Osch claim a 7-3 victory over
Strong.
