Saquon Barkley: “I’m blessed to be able to play Monday night.” He said his stance might have to change with the neck roll, but he’s good to go against the Bears. #Eagles

Next Gen (and PFF for that matter) are wrong on that TD, too. Likely referring to Antonio Williams’ late TD Week 1. Pick play. Woolen was the closest defender but it was Epps’ man.
From Next Gen: Woolen has not allowed a single reception on five targets in zone coverage this season. He has given up three receptions for 22 yards and a touchdown on four targets playing man-to-man. Three receptions for 22 yards on nine targets is pretty, pretty good for CB2.

Reno Mahe has 10 children? God bless...
Reno Mahe was a standout Running Back and Wide Receiver for the BYU Cougars before carving out his role with the Philadelphia Eagles. During his time in the league, Mahe was also an NFLPA Player Rep, serving as a voice for those around him. We caught up with Reno and he gave us insight into his life during and after football.

They have no running game. They can’t give Jordan Love time. They couldn’t stop the run. They got booed out of Lambeau, and Tucker Kraft didn’t appreciate it. It made for a bad night in what’s a bad start to the season. The story from last night: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/5002…

I addition to the money, Packers fans often have to travel 2-3 hours to get to the games. Very few live in Green Bay. They travel from Milwaukee and Madison and the rest of Wisconsin. Most did not get home until 2:00 AM last night. Of course they were not happy.

The Phillies right now give fans cause to ponder two similar but very different words — clinching and clenching 😬
Saying this and experiencing this are two different feelings.

I’ve read a few Packers player comments from last night. Most of them are less clueless than this, but I haven’t seen anyone noting the sacrifices some fans make to afford these tickets. I think players are so insulated from the economy now that it doesn’t even cross their minds.
Tucker Kraft on the fans booing: "That's pretty tough. Like everyone pictures Lambeau Field and not boos. I don't picture boos. I picture my home stadium. That's tough. It's pretty disappointing, especially for a home opener. It's pretty disappointing. It's not going to help us win. Like I don't know what people think that's going to rally us or something like that. But that's -- we're grown men. We're mentally strong enough, capable enough to get back on the field and play ball. But it'd probably much easier with the 70,000 people behind us rather than opposing us."

“We just need to finish strong and then stay healthy,” Arraez said. “If everybody stays healthy, we can do a lot of good things.” Not even six innings later, it was Arraez’s injury that cast a shadow over the path forward for this Phillies team" nytimes.com/athletic/7627684…
