Eagles
Eagles OT Lane Johnson said he thinks the team has a chance to surprise people this year.
“Yeah, or well I think with what we have, you know, it’s easy to find motivation,” Johnson said, via NFL.com. “4-11-1 or 4-12, whatever we were last year is not acceptable. So, you know, we’re gonna come out swinging. Expectations are low. You know, we’re not expected to do much, so I feel like it’s a lot easier to play when you have that card in your hand, so that’s where we’re at and, really, I think that’s for a lot of teams in the NFC East. So, here we come.”
Johnson added QB Jalen Hurts hasn’t wasted time acting as the starting quarterback.
“He’s got that confidence to him. The way he carries himself, he carries himself like a veteran and things he can do on the field, you know, he can scramble outside the pocket,” Johnson said. “And when that happens, man, it makes it a little bit easier for the offensive line whenever you have a mobile quarterback back there, the pass rushers approach the pass rush a little bit differently. So instead of maybe running the hoop they’re told not to break contain because if they do, he can scramble for 10 or 15 and get a quick first down, but really, you know, he’s taking command in OTAs.”
