Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson has given the Dallas Cowboys some bulletin board material heading into the two teams Week 7 showdown.
The Eagles were dominated from start to finish during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings and during his weekly call into 94.1 WIP via the Philadelphia Inquirer that he understands why fans from the outside think the sky is falling.
“I know the sky is falling outside. It’s falling, and I get that and the fans are reeling just a little bit.”
Pederson said even though the sky is falling from the outside everyone still has confidence inside the locker room and he guarantees the team will get a win on Sunday Night Football.
“We’re going down to Dallas, and our guys are gonna be ready to play. And we’re gonna win that football game and when we do we’re in first place in the NFC East,” Pederson proclaimed.
Pederson was questioned about feeling so confident with the proclamation and he said that he needs to be for the guys in the locker room.
“I have to be. I am,” Pederson said, noting he saw many “coachable moments” after watching tape from the game. “I got to stay positive, not only for myself, but for the guys in the locker room.”
With that, it seems like this is going to be used more as a motivator for the players but if the Cowboys come away with a win there is no doubt going to be a lot of chirping from Cowboys fans, and a lot of pressure put on Pederson for not delivering on his promise.
