He has experienced change, as is the nature of the National Football League, and in the context of how it impacts performance, Dallas Goedert understands that being taken out of a comfort zone can often be a winning challenge.<\/p>\n
New offensive coordinators bring new passing games and within\u202fthat new concepts\u202fto master and new ways to attack coverages. That is what Goedert looks to master when Training Camp begins in late July.<\/p>\n
“You can’t do the same thing and expect different results,” Goedert said. “We’ve had success in many different systems with the Eagles and anytime you can get a fresh set of eyes on what we’ve run in the past, what we did well, what we want to do different moving forward, I think you can just blend it all together and keep evolving.”<\/p>\n
Think about it: Goedert has been an Eagle since 2018 \u2013 the team’s first NFL Draft pick, second round \u2013 after winning Super Bowl LII \u2013 and he’s pretty much seen it all. New coaches. Players who have come and gone. Different quarterbacks. A bunch of different ways to win.<\/p>\n
In his ninth season \u2013 nine!?! Amazing!!! \u2013 Goedert is\u202fembracing change, both in the Eagles’ offense and at his position in the league. Tight ends are what many offenses are built around. The running game needs them to provide strong in-line blocking. The versatility tight ends bring to the table help create great matchups in the passing game. And the speed, size, and explosiveness tight ends offer the offense\u202fis key in the middle of the field and red zone.<\/p>\n
Goedert recognizes\u202fall of\u202fthose aspects of the position.<\/p>\n
“I came when it started to change,” Goedert said. “You saw tight ends hit the 1,000-yard marks in receiving a little bit more. Tight ends have always been red zone threats and that hasn’t changed but being more involved in the pass game is something everybody always wants, and it’s been fun to be part of that.<\/p>\n
“The transition started 10-15 years ago throughout the\u202fleague\u202fand you\u202fhave to\u202fpay your respects to those guys and to others who have helped define the position. To be part of this generation and to help the position continue to evolve, I’m proud of them.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He has experienced change, as is the nature of the National Football League, and in the context of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":348182,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[7507,102,7513,104,103,7508,7512],"class_list":["post-348181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-all-news-archived","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-goedert","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-nfl-com-feature","tag-on-the-inside"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348181"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348181\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
