Everyone has seen the elaborate celebrations the Eagles have taken part in during games. They celebrate after big plays on defense, they celebrate after touchdowns, sometimes they even celebrate by taking team pictures before the game is over.

These celebrations may have raised some eyebrows from their opponents. With the way the Eagles have been winning and being able to find success so quickly, it’s easy for them to get a little too loose.

Enter defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, an old-school, no-nonsense guy who likes to use analogies of former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer. Schwartz wants his players to compete with passion.

He dials up plays that command them to be aggressive and intense. When he spoke to the media on Tuesday, it seemed like he wants them to be loose but not lose focus.

“Some teams play best when they are loose. Some teams, it’s more of a grind,” Schwartz said. “Our guys have the ability to play loose and have some fun out on the field. But there is also a fine line between doing that and losing focus. Maybe that is something that we can improve on.”

The loss to the Seahawks wasn’t something anyone on the team expected necessarily, but there were some who felt things were too loose at practice. Doug Pederson started to see some things surface in practice and transfer over to games.

“When I start seeing the same mistakes in ballgames that you kind of see during the week, we’ve just got to get back to the, not necessarily the grind, but we’ve got to get back to just focusing in on all our jobs and owning that,” Pederson said during his press conference on Monday. “Winning can kind of cover up or mask some things, some deficiencies, a little chink in your armor, if there is any. Coaches and players fall into the same boat sometimes.”

The Eagles are set to resume practicing on Wednesday at the Anaheim Angels’ stadium. Spending the week in California has its pros and cons, but there are plenty of distractions. Schwartz acknowledged as much on Tuesday.

“There are all types of things that can derail a team. Every team has a little different personality,” Schwartz said.
