Anecdotally, I think some coaches who have embraced going for it on 4th down (Pederson,for example) now call 3rd-and-med/long plays to set up 4th-and-short. Setting up 4th-and-2 shouldn't always be considered a "failed conversion." https://t.co/ezYBqhetx3
You know the whole "Nickel is the new base" thing? Very true, as nickel made up 59% of all dropbacks. But this surprised me -- in 2019, defenses played more dime (20.9%) than base (18%). Which means that defenses are putting six DBs on the field more than they're putting four.

— Where fans are allowed at games, they will wear face coverings.
— Actual training camp schedule of practices can be tied to the preseason game questions, so not there yet.
— The economics are not yet finalized, either. https://t.co/Q1CZqusMRG

Eagles WR DeSean Jackson met with Holocaust survivor Edward Mosberg today to further educate himself. Eagles have penalized him for "conduct detrimental" to team.https://t.co/z6TmRDYkru
— Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) July 10, 2020
A player can be suspended for up to four games without pay and/or fined up to one week's salary for conduct detrimental to the team. In DeSean Jackson's case, he is to make $364,705.88 per week in the 2020 season (one-17th of his $6.2 million base salary).

I’m told DeSean Jackson intends to donate a significant portion of his fine to Jewish community efforts.
— Tim McManus (@Tim_McManus) July 10, 2020
Eagles could have tried to suspend DeSean Jackson for conduct detrimental to the team. The fact that they didn't suspend Riley Cooper in 2013 for uttering a racial slur would have made it harder to defend a suspension of Jackson now.

The Ministry of Public Health has encouraged the public to keep its guard up, as there might be the possibility of a new spread of #COVID19. Wearing a mask, keeping a safe distance, and frequently washing hands will reduce the risk of virus infection.
