Eagles Update: The Chairman Speaks

year two than year one. He'll be significantly better in year three than year two, and he'll be significantly better in year four than year three. Where that's where we're at. The difference in records of the teams with all those you can research it yourself, but it typically, I think, is how terrific do you surround him? And you know, you have young quarterbacks to join teams and take them to the Super Bowl. But those are teams basically that

have top two, top three defenses and whatever. We hope to be there. We hope to be there. But that the rarity, and you know, I see us as a team with an excellent blueprint, great opportunity, terrific direction, but we're in year two of the plan. In just one year, Doug Pearson has changed the culture of the locker room and helped develop the quarterback who will hopefully allow the Eagles to be contended for a long time. Louri shares

his thoughts on the head coach. Doug took over a team that had some locker room issues with the previous head coach, lost his starting quarterback ten days before the start of the season and was asked to use our young third string quarterback, had to put together a coaching staff, and you know, my personal evaluation of the coaching staff that he put together or inherited but was open to

inherit is outstanding. I mean really outstanding. And that is a that's a huge credit because quarterback analysis, locker room chemistry, and the ability to put together a top notch coaching staff, those are three real key ingredients and I think he aced them all. Yes, there's going to be growing pains with any first year head coach. We've We've had that with Andy, We've had it with Chip, We've had it.

You know, no matter who it is. I see him as someone who can keep improving and he's a listener. He's a collaborator, and I think he has terrific relationships with the players, and you know, the futures in front of him and it's there for the taking. The Eagles practice on Thursday and all fifty three players were full participants. That will be key, especially on the defensive side of

the ball. As a Redskins boast a big play offense with a number of playmakers led by quarterback Kirk Cousins, the Eagles defense finds out just how good it is right off the bat. Yeah, it'll be exciting, man, That's what it's all about. Man. We're excited to get out there, just really to hit somebody else and to make it count, you know what I mean. And none of these have really countered, and you get kind of a field during preseason, but you know, when when it's really on the line,

how we're going to shape out. So it'll be excited to be fun. I think we're ready make it hard for him, not make it easy for him. And uh, you know some of those games, you know we made it a little easy for him, not putting too much pressure on him, and you know he was able to step back there, and you know, but I think we got a nice little game plan to get things done, and you're gonna see a different Eagle. Eagle team, you know,

starting a game one. The NFL season openers tonight, as the Kansas City Chiefs travel to take on the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. But Garrett Blunt helped the Patriots win the trophy last year with the league best eighteen rushing touchdowns. Now he wants to do the same for the Eagles. We grind every day. Um, we feel like we want to build a really good team, and you know, we feel like things are coming together.

So we're excited about it. I'm excited about it. Friday marks a final full day of practice for the Eagles ahead of Sunday's game.
