Philly Leader

Special Teams Coordinator Michael Clay expressed strong confidence in placekicker Jake Elliott as the team prepares for practice at the NovaCare Complex. During a press conference, Clay emphasized Elliott's reliability, stating, "It's one of those things where you have supreme confidence in him because he's done it for so long and he's hit so many big kicks." He also stressed the importance of maintaining enthusiasm for football, saying, "Don't lose the joy of this game."

Clay highlighted the challenge posed by Pittsburgh's special teams under coach Danny Smith. He noted their aggressive play style and praised their ability to potentially influence the game's outcome. "They rush really hard and they play hard for Danny," Clay remarked.

The Eagles' defense is gearing up to face another mobile quarterback, Russell Wilson, after dealing with Bryce Young last week. Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio acknowledged Wilson's impact on Pittsburgh's offense: "He's mobile still. Really playing good."

Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore commended quarterback Jalen Hurts for his performance this season. Moore said, "I think Jalen has done an excellent job, first and foremost, of protecting the football." Despite challenges in recent games, Moore remains optimistic about continued growth and improvement.
