Believing in an Eagles rebound while also still feeling concerned

One might say that Week 1 didn’t go so well for the Philadelphia Eagles. But was it just one bad game? Or a sign of more struggles to come?

Jimmy Kempski and I talk about that and much more in this week’s BGN Radio podcast episode. You can [CLICK HERE TO LISTEN] or stream our conversation below:

EAGLES VS. WFT FALLOUT

• What’s Carson Wentz’s deal, man? Does anyone have the authority to correct him? On a scale of 1-10, what’s your level of concern with the Eagles’ starting quarterback?
• Why didn’t the coaching staff get Wentz on the move more in Week 1? Trying to make sense of Doug Pederson’s nonsensical answer.
• Taking the temperature of the team: there’s a lot of bad juju going off the field. Just not a good vibe.
• You know how we talk about a player being Just A Guy? It sure feels like the post-Super Bowl Eagles are Just A Team.
• The outlook for this Eagles season hasn’t changed ... and that’s both a good and bad thing.

EAGLES VS. RAMS PREVIEW

• Some good news (?!) on the injury front for a change. Getting Miles Sanders and Lane Johnson back is big.
• Why did the Eagles sign two guards? Is Nate Herbig going to get benched?
• The monster that is Aaron Donald and contrasting him with what we’ve been seeing from Fletcher Cox.
• The one word to perfectly describe Jared Goff.
• Will Darius Slay follow one of the Rams’ wide receivers?
• Philadelphia’s edge in the coaching matchup.
