Falcons at Eagles - Live Blog The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1 action in a rematch of last season’s NFC Divisional Round when the Eagles outlasted the Falcons 15-10 on their way to an NFL title.The Falcons were the only team that found a way to slow Nick Foles and that Eagles offense down as the Eagles would score 38 and 41 in their next two games to route the Minnesota Vikings and hold off the New England Patriots. That should give them a bit of confidence that they can Authentic Bradley Chubb Jersey , in fact, hang with this team.With Carson Wentz still not ready to return from injury, it will be Nick Foles in this game. The Falcons will want to put the pressure on early and often while getting their own running game going. If they can do that, they might have a chance in this one.Falcons vs. Eagles live updatesThe FalcoholicBleeding Green Nation Tweets from https://twitter.com/MileHighReport/lists...roncos-beatChad Kelly getting first-team reps could mean the Broncos do not plan to add a veteran quarterback The rise of Chad Kelly continued on Tuesday. The preseason star who elevated himself from third-team to second-team after the first preseason game received a handful of first-team reps. Now, before we get too far ahead of ourselves here, Case Keenum is the unquestioned starter at quarterback, but these first-team reps are noteworthy. These reps are noteworthy because as the backup quarterback, you’re one big blindside hit away from going from sitting on the bench to under center in a regular season NFL game. You need experience with the starting center and be able to build some chemistry with the starting wide receivers on the first-team offense.After practice today http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/jared-veldheer-jersey , Head Coach Vance Joseph touched on this topic when asked about Kelly’s first-team reps. Joseph did down-play these reps, but every rep with the first-team offense is important for a young and inexperienced quarterback who is trying to prove he can be the backup quarterback.Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty ImagesThe Broncos have been rumored to be in the market for a veteran quarterback to be the backup to Case Keenum. However, Kelly’s play has made the team re-think this course of action and this(speculation on my part) could be a sign that they plan on going into the season with Kelly as the backup. Speaking of backups, NFL Network’s James Palmer reported on Tuesday that the Broncos have no interest in Teddy Bridgewater as a backup quarterback. His tweet indicates that they would kick the tires if Keenum were injured, but he is(thankfully) healthy. This makes sense for many reasons. The Broncos want to avoid any quarterback competitions and bringing in Bridgewater would open that messy door again. Also, his price tag is pretty high and it wouldn’t be good General Managing to spend a premium pick or two on a player you hope sits on the bench for all 16 games. For now, the backup quarterback job is Chad Kelly’s but Vance Joseph continues to leave the door open for the team to add a veteran starter. If Kelly continues to play how he has through the first two weeks of the preseason, the backup quarterback job is surely his in my opinion. Any hiccups could lead to the team to bring in a veteran http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/brandon-mcmanus-jersey , however. The fact they continue to leave the door open tells me that they may have an option or two who they believe will or is already available who can serve as their backup. Kelly has two weeks and likely a start in the preseason finale to prove he can be the backup quarterback for the Broncos. If he continues to play like he has, the job is his. Hell, the Broncos actions recently show it may already be his job. Either way, the Broncos finally have a promising young quarterback on the roster. After the tall disappointments recently, this is music to every Broncos fans ears.
