Jason Peters is indeed buying what Carson Wentz is selling

by Jimmy Kempski

"How can they command a huddle? Can they look at 10 other guys in the huddle? And can one of these guys come into Philadelphia and get Jason Peters to believe in what they’re selling? I want to see that. I want to be able to look into their eyes and say, ‘That’s a guy I can hang my hat on.’”

by Jimmy Kempski

OMG, the Eagles are going to the Super Bowl, and Carson Wentz is going to be the first player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in his rookie season. OK, maybe not. They beat the Browns, which is something that a lot of teams do. Still, the kid was good, and the Eagles won comfortably, 29-10. As always, win or lose, we hand out 10 awards.
