with the Super Bowl LIII MVP award. He started the season with a four-game PED suspension.And Edelman consistently refuses to discuss any of the details related to whatever it was that caused him to violate the policy against the use of performance enhancers.鈥淧eople don鈥檛 know what happened Donald Trump Jerseys 2019 ,” Edelman told Peter King of . “I can鈥檛 sit here and [due to] the league rules say what happened.鈥漈hat’s simply not true. The confidentiality provision of the PED policy protects the player; if the player chooses to waive his confidentiality rights, he can. If he wants to talk about the circumstances leading to the positive, he’s entitled to.Waiving confidentiality comes with a risk, however. As revised in the aftermath of the current CBA, the PED policy permits the NFL’s Management Council to disclose information in order to “correct public claims made by [the] Player or his representatives about the discipline.”In past years, players could claim whatever they wanted to claim White Stephen Gostkowski Jerseys , and the league could say nothing. Now, if the player offers a BS excuse or explanation for a positive PED test, the league has the right to call BS. Here, the BS comes from the basis for Edelman’s refusal to talk.Technically, the league could call BS on that, if it wants. But the NFL likely doesn’t want to tarnish the Super Bowl MVP by issuing a statement that Edelman has made an incorrect public claim about his inability to discuss the PED violation.King also asked Edelman if he believes the suspension was unjust.鈥淚鈥檓 not going down that road Stephen Gostkowski Jerseys 2019 ,” Edelman said. “I served what I had to serve and I accept that. I know a lot of people were disappointed in me for it. I apologize. It鈥檒l never happen again.”It’s hard to know whether what precisely happened last year will happen again without knowing what did happen in the first place. And apparently we never will. Poor throws. Dropped passes. Missed blocks. Questionable play-calling.It’s all contributed to an ineffective, inconsistent offense that has plagued the Philadelphia Eagles through 10 games.The Eagles (5-5) couldn’t do much against the New England Patriots in a 17-10 loss Sunday. After jumping out to a 10-0 lead, they managed 152 total yards on the final 10 drives.Carson Wentz was sacked five times, lost a fumble and completed only half his passes. In Philly, that results in heavy criticism."It's not about one guy," coach Doug Pederson said Monday. "It takes 11 on offense. So we have to do better up front in protection White Matthew Slater Jerseys , obviously, the backs have to do a better job there as well and then our skill guys have to get open. So there is a combination of a lot of things that we can all take away from this game."One of Wentz's 20 incompletions was a fourth-down pass from the Patriots 26 that bounced off Nelson Agholor's hands in the final minutes. It would've been an acrobatic catch if Agholor hauled it in but not an impossible grab for a better receiver.The Eagles were missing their two best receivers — DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery — and leading rusher Jordan Howard. Then All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson left with a concussion after the touchdown drive. The run game was nonexistent without Johnson paving the way, and all five sacks came after he exited.WHAT NEEDS HELPWentz has no reliable target other than tight end Zach Ertz. He also has no deep threat with Jackson out for the season. Agholor has too many costly drops. Jeffery is normally sure-handed but he has slowed down this season. JJ Arcega-Whiteside and Mack Hollins have difficulty getting open. Jordan Matthews just returned for his third stint with the team.STOCK UPCornerback Jalen Mills has played well in four games since returning from a foot injury that kept him out nearly a full calendar year. Mills has stabilized a secondary that has improved greatly since he returned along with Ronald Darby and Avonte Maddox.STOCK DOWNThe entire offensive line suffered after Johnson left the game. It gave up five sacks, allowed 12 hits on Wentz and couldn't open up run lanes. Nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters returned from a knee injury that forced him to miss three games and committed penalties on consecutive drives that led to punts.INJUREDJohnson is in concussion protocol, so his status this week is uncertain. Howard and Jeffery are making progress, but it's too early to know when they'll return.KEY NUMBER120 — The Eagles are 21-2 under Pederson when they run for at least 120 yards in a game. Sticking with the run is even more important for this offense because the receivers are below average and the passing game is out of sync.NEXT STEPSThe Eagles host Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks (8-2) on Sunday. Wilson is 3-0 with 6 TD passes Matthew Slater Jerseys 2019 , no interceptions and a 104.9 passer rating against Philadelphia.
