You can watch video of Pederson's entire press availability by clicking here. In the meantime, here are some highlights and things we learned from what Pederson had to say. Stay tuned to Bleeding Green Nation for more in-depth coverage on some of these topics.

Connor Barwin and Marcus Smith will play 4-3 defensive end

Coach Pederson: Connor Barwin's best position is as a defensive end, coming off the edge. Marcus Smith will play defensive end too. — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) March 23, 2016

Pederson believes the Eagles' starting left guard is already on the roster

Pederson mentioned Malcolm Bunche as one of the players in the mix at LG. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

Note that Pederson's delay in this answer might indicate he wasn't exactly telling the truth. The Eagles could easily still add a guard in free agency and/or the NFL Draft.

Jason Peters will stick at LT for now

Coach Pederson: There's been talk about (Peters playing guard), but in my opinion left tackle is his best position moving forward. — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) March 23, 2016

What Pederson wants in his offensive linemen

Doug Pederson wants nasty, dirty, gritty offensive linemen. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

Doug Pederson still thinks Eagles need to address OL. "You like versatility at that position." — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

The return of the fullback!

Doug Pederson says he likes lining his offense up with a FB or a TE in the backfield at times. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

Pederson says "there’s a chance" the Eagles will keep a fullback on the 53-man roster. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

Doug Pederson says Trey Burton is someone he wants to see if he can handle FB position. He doesn’t know for sure if he can handle it. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

Jordan Matthews moving out of the slot?

Doug Pederson thinks Jordan Matthews can play on the outside and he’ll look at him there this spring. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

Starting linebacker configuration

Pederson thinks Bradham fits in as the SLB. Mychal Kendricks fits in at WLB. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

To be clear: Bradham at SAM, Jordan Hicks at MIKE, and Kendricks at WILL. Pederson also mentioned Najee Goode can play all three spots but fits in as a backup WILL.

Pederson talks Sam Bradford

Here at the NFC coaches breakfast... Where #Eagles coach Doug Pederson said Sam Bradford being his QB was a big part of why he took the job. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 23, 2016

Pederson on Sam Bradford: He's a guy that makes good decisions, has a good arm & is a leader of the football team. pic.twitter.com/7WFIWzw64q — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) March 23, 2016

Doug Pederson says Sam Bradford put on 5 pounds this offseason. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

How the Eagles will call plays

Why would Pederson relay plays to Reich? His explanation:



1) Avoid button confusion.



2) QB is used to hearing OC call plays in practice. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

Pederson noted that this structure is how things worked in Kansas City. Andy Reid would call the plays and Pederson would relay them to Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith. For those worried this will cause delay of game penalties, note that the Chiefs had the second least amount of those penalties in 2014.

Pederson won't as involved with pro days

Doug Pederson says he won’t be at Carson Wentz’s pro day. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

Pederson said he won't be as involved as pro days as he is with private workouts with quarterbacks.

Probably no joint training camp practice this offseason

Doug Pederson doesn’t expect to have joint training camp practice with another NFL team this year. Open to the possibility in future. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

The Eagles always did joint training camp practices during the Chip Kelly regime. It was the Patriots for the first two years and the Ravens last year.

Eagles not done adding defensive backs

Doug Pederson says he feels really good about Eagles CB position, though admits "still probably need to add some depth." — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

The Eagles currently have nine cornerbacks on the roster, which doesn't include Malcolm Jenkins who can play in the nickel role. It also sounds like the Eagles want to add more depth behind Jenkins and Rodney McLeod.

Doug Pederson also mentions Eagles still need to address secondary. Mentions possibility of adding a safety in the draft. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016

Pederson expects the Eagles to draft a QB

Doug Pederson says he expects to come out of the 2016 NFL Draft with a QB. — Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 23, 2016
