  • Eagles' Team Travel
    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Team History The Eagles have been a Philadelphia institution since their beginning in 1933 when a syndicate headed by the late Bert Bell and Lud Wray purchased the former Frankford Yellowjackets franchise for $2,500. In 1941, a unique swap took place between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh that saw the clubs trade home cities with Alexis Thompson becoming the Eagles owner. In 1943, the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh franchises combined for one season due to the manpower shortage created by World War II. The team was called both Phil-Pitt and the Steagles. Greasy Neale of the Eagles and Walt Kiesling of the Steelers were co-coaches and the team finished 5-4-1. Counting the 1943 season, Neale coached the Eagles for 10 seasons and he led them to their first significant successes in the NFL. Paced by such future Pro Football Hall of Fame members as running back Steve Van Buren, center-linebacker Alex Wojciechowicz, end Pete Pihos and beginning in 1949, center-linebacker Chuck Bednarik, the Eagles dominated the league for six seasons. They finished second in the NFL Eastern division in 1944, 1945 and 1946, won the division title in 1947 and then scored successive shutout victories in the 1948 and 1949 championship games. A rash of injuries ended Philadelphia’s era of domination and, by 1958, the Eagles had fallen to last place in their division. That year, however, saw the start of a rebuilding program by a new coach, Buck Shaw, and the addition of quarterback Norm Van Brocklin in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams.

But what about the man whose hands grasp the ball before every NFL snap? What about center-quarterback chemistry? “It’s very important,” says six-time Pro Bowl center KEVIN MAWAE of the Tennessee Titans. “The quarterback needs to feel comfortable with what is happening in front of him with protection. When a center and quarterback have chemistry, the quarterback will understand what protection calls are going to come and why that call was made. “I have watched film with quarterbacks,” continues Mawae. “We go through different scenarios and situations and work through what calls will work best for both the line and the quarterback. It helps eliminate the discrepancies that may occur during a game.” Here is a look at the quarterback-center tandems who have started the most games together since 1970 as well as those among active teammates: QB-C TANDEMS SINCE 1970 GAMES CURRENT QB-C TANDEMS GAMES Jim Kelly-Kent Hull, Buffalo 157 Peyton Manning-Jeff Saturday, Indianapolis 101 Brett Favre-Frank Winters, Green Bay 123 Trent Green-Casey Wiegmann, Kansas City 80 Steve Bartkowski-Jeff Van Note, Atlanta 120 Matt Hasselbeck-Robbie Tobeck, Seattle 74 Phil Simms-Bart Oates, N.Y.
