The Eagles are just a couple days away from taking on Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, and Doug Pederson spoke to reporters on Friday about his role in play calling and how that’s been changing.
He also noted that Jack Driscoll will get the opportunity to start at right tackle over Matt Pryor — who Pederson said is able to be more of a rotational guy as needed. Driscoll is feeling good after his injury, and they thought this would be a good time to get him back on the field.
The head coach acknowledged some of the rookies getting more playing time — Driscoll starting and K’Von Wallace stepping into Will Parks’ role — but said it was because they have confidence in these young players, and it was absolutely not a sign that they are throwing in the towel on the season.
