NEW YORK (AP) — Joe Douglas was the favorite all along

— and the Jets got their guy.The Philadelphia Eagles executive was hired Friday night to serve as New York’s general manager Reggie White Jersey , tasked with leading the Jets back to respectability.Douglas, the Eagles’ vice president of player personnel, was one of four candidates interviewed twice by New York for the vacancy. He met with team officials last Saturday and Sunday, and again earlier this week.The team announced Friday night on Twitte r that it had agreed to terms with Douglas. The Jets did not announce the terms of the deal, but ESPN reported it is a six-year contract.Douglas was widely considered the top candidate because he has previous work experience with Jets coach Adam Gase, who served as the team’s acting GM and was heavily involved in the search process. Douglas was Chicago’s director of college scouting in 2015, when Gase was the Bears’ offensive coordinator.They’re now reunited, leading an organization that hasn’t been to the playoffs since the 2010 season.Douglas replaces Mike Maccagnan, who was surprisingly fired last month after four seasons when Jets chairman and CEO Christopher Johnson said he took a “deeper dive” this offseason to analyze the inner-workings of the football side of the organization. Johnson decided to move on from Maccagnan — after firing coach Todd Bowles after the season — and stressed he was looking for “a strategic thinker” and added that “it’s more than a talent evaluation guy.” He also said he wanted “a great manager, a communicator — someone who can collaborate well with the building.”The Jets believe they have exactly that in Douglas, who was widely considered one of the up-and-coming potential GMs.He beat out Chicago assistant director of player personnel Champ Kelly, New Orleans director of pro scouting Terry Fontenot and Seattle co-director of player personnel Scott Fitterer for the job.Douglas helped build the Eagles into a Super Bowl champion during the 2017 season, working closely with executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman after joining Philadelphia’s front office in 2016.Before his one season in Chicago, Douglas worked in Baltimore’s personnel department from 2000 until 2015. He held various posts with Ravens during that time http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-malcolm-jenkins-jersey , including national scout, Southeast area scout, East Coast area scout, Northeast area scout and player personnel assistant.The former offensive tackle started 45 straight games for the University of Richmond, and was an All-Atlantic 10 selection.Douglas inherits a solid core of talent with the Jets, including second-year quarterback Sam Darnold, running back Le’Veon Bell, safety Jamal Adams, linebacker C.J. Mosley, defensive lineman Leonard Williams and first-round draft pick Quinnen Williams.Douglas and Gase will report to Johnson separately, a structure the owner believes is most effective. Gase was responsible for player personnel during his three years as coach in Miami, but said that is not something he wants in New York. WINNERSThe Seattle SeahawksNo matter how hard they tried!Fletcher CoxLast week, I called for a better game in a key spot from the Eagles’ top defensive talent — this week, we definitely got it. Fletch was a homewrecker early and often against Seattle Womens Jalen Mills Jersey , drawing penalties, creating disruption for cleanup sacks, and refusing to relinquish an inch as the leader of the Eagles’ run defense. In a standout defensive performance, I thought he was the best player, which is how he’s supposed to be.I...really don’t have anyone elseJ.J. Arcega-Whiteside wasn’t awful! Greg Ward was fun! Zach Ertz made some tough catches! Josh Sweat had some good pressures! Kamu was hustlin’! Jake Elliott didn’t miss any kicks!LOSERSThe Philadelphia EaglesAnd they tried very hard!Carson WentzBad football game by a good football player on Sunday. With 6 of 10 starters outside of Carson out with injury by the end of the first drive, it was going to take heroics from Carson Wentz for the Eagles to generate consistent offense — they got anything but. Wentz was inaccurate with his new receivers, as risky in the pocket as he’s ever been, and struggled with post-snap processing like he hasn’t since his rookie season.The best solution for Wentz’s struggles is just getting the rest of the offense healthy, but there are struggles in his game that aren’t going away anytime soon.Andre DillardIt’s a tough ask, for a rookie to flip sides to a position he’s never played. But if the Eagles had known that Dillard’s play in the first half would warrant a benching, I’m sure they wouldn’t have played him at all.But they did, and he was susceptible to the bull rush, devastatingly inconsistent in his pass sets, and ineffecitve in the running game. Halapoulivaati Vaitai and Matt Pryor on the right side gave the Eagles the requisite size to win in the running game Brandon Graham Jersey , and that was the solution today.Mack Hollins(he took 6 snaps) Jalen MillsIt is an easy thing to do: laud the Eagles’ defense since the return of Jalen Mills to the lineup. But any morsel of added context puts Mills’ individual play in question. Toasted multiple times against the Seahawks (just as he was against the Patriots), passes haven’t yet connected to Mills’ man, but they will. He isn’t making great plays on the ball or eliminating routes all that often; eventually, he’s going to get burned.Doug PedersonPederson was obviously dealt a pretty short hand, in terms of the injuries incurred on offense and the bad play of Carson Wentz — but you can’t help to wonder what could have been had the Eagles decided to do anything else besides a new draw design behind Halapoulivaati Vaitai to Miles Sanders, which ended in a 30 yard fumble recovery for the Seahawks.Pederson loves to do new and creative things on third down, but so often handcuffs his own efforts by drawing up plays that develop behind the line of scrimmage and make the circumstances more difficult on his skill players than is needful, especially when you consider how shorthanded Philly was. For the second week in a row, it seems that opponents had a bead on the Eagles’ simplified offense. The play-calling simply isn’t doing anyone any favors right now.I DUNNOSJosh McCownThe storyline was written: McCown comes in, pulls the Eagles out for a come-from-behind win over the Seahawks, and rides that momentum into the Super Bowl. C’mon: when Carson was jogging into the locker room, you know you were thinking it, too.
