the first person to ever score in South America Barkley said that's cool from the first catch he was just balling offensive tackle Lane Johnson said every time he scored I was hauling us up there

37.75 million contract in free agency Barkley has had months to Envision what it would be like to play behind this offensive line and alongside Playmakers such as Herz AJ Brown Devon Smith and Dallas Goddard what he pictured was kind of similar to this I guess you could say I think it's so special that out of all the guys we have on this team that's so talented and today might have been my day

going into the season Essay with tildo Pao the field conditions were a major talking point after the Philadelphia 34 to 29 went over the Green Bay Packers on Friday night a number of players lost their footing during the game and later attributed it to the Slick surface at Arena Corinthians which is normally a soccer stadium for the Eagles it stirred some not so great recent memories it kind of reminded me of the Super Bowl Turf said tight end Dallas Goddard referencing the surface in Arizona when the Eagles lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 57 I mean y'all saw out there that it was was kind of rough to get traction Eagles quarterback Jaylen Herz said definitely challenging on that field it's not the type of field we're used to playing on we've had that type of feel before they had to play on it as well I'm just happy that we found a way to figure out as a team overcome it eagles's running back saquan Barkley was one of the first to lose his footing resulting in a 5-yard loss on his first Carry in an eagle's uniform after the series he went to the sideline and told his teammates they needed to switch to longer seven stud cleats the change worked out pretty well for Barkley who went on to rush for over 100 yards and finished with three total touchdowns it's one of those fields where the top just came off pretty easy offensive tackle Lane Johnson said that's what they make studs for that's why we pack M they're not comfortable but they are handy Having learned from the past some players made the move before the game I ran a route full speed when we did the walk through Thursday slipped and I said I'm not going to make the same mistake twice I'm going to seven studs Goddard said the Packers were feeling the effects as well coach Matt lefur told a sideline reporter during the game that it's been a problem for sure I mean there were some cases where I was slipping Packers safety Xavier mcken said it was a little slippery different than obviously what I'm kind of used to it's just another circumstance obviously every field is going to be different we got to be able to know no matter the circumstance still do our jobs and do it at a high level
