The Philadelphia Eagles took a beat down to the Tennessee Titans on Thursday, but Doug Pederson looked for the diamonds in the rough.

The preseason isn’t always about winning or losing. It’s about finding out what individual players could bring to the table in the regular season. If a player is trying out for the team, the preseason is a live game scenario where said player could prove their worth to coaching staff.

As for players who are locks to make the team already, the preseason is so they can get their feet wet and be a little more prepared for some live action. Mistakes are to be made in the preseason. However, we like it when players are nearly flawless and stand out for the good.

So does Philadelphia Eagles head coach, Doug Pederson. On Thursday, Pederson wasn’t thrilled with the results of a week one preseason beat down by the Tennessee Titans — but the veteran head coach won’t let a meaningless loss get to his head.

Instead, Pederson was more than willing to point out the players who stood out to him for the good — rather than who stood out to him for the bad. And just a disclaimer here for those who didn’t watch Thursday’s game — there were tons of bad going on.

So with that, let’s dive into Doug Pederson’s four standouts from preseason week one!
