Howie Roseman displays how brilliant he is once again in Eagles’ Week 10 win
The Eagles needed a spark in their pass rush and Howie Roseman found it.
Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman continues to prove how brilliant he is when it comes to making trades that are totally worth it.
Roseman’s latest trade of edge rusher Jalean Phillips didn’t waste any time adjusting to his new team after only one week to prepare.
Phillips made his first start for the Eagles on Monday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers, where he finished with six tackles, two quarterback hits, a tackle for loss, and a fumble recovery, while also disrupting a key 4th-and-1 run late in the fourth quarter.
“I just think about his week of practice and how he goes about his business,” head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters after the game. “He runs full volume. He loves working. You can just see it, the way he was running around at practice. His motor is constantly running, just pushing to get better. So obviously it was a really big impact that he made tonight for his first game as an Eagle. Again, I have to look at the tape, but he did a lot of good things that you can see off of.”
Jaelan Phillips received the game ball for his awesome debut vs. the Packers
For his outstanding efforts at Lamabeu Field, the Eagles gave Jaelan the game ball.
“I just felt super grateful,” Phillips said of how he felt before taking the field for the first time as an Eagle. “This is the first time in a while that I’ve gotten a little emotional before a game. Obviously, this stage, and coming here. It’s my first time at Lambeau [Field], walking out through that tunnel. I mean it doesn’t get better than that. Definitely grateful. Felt amazing energy from the guys. It was just an air of confidence and everybody played together. We had a great game, honestly, it was super gritty. Grateful to be here for sure.”
The Eagles needed a spark for their pass rush, and after just one week, Phillips has delivered, which is the kind of impact that could carry them a long way if he keeps it up.
