Why do I have to be from Philadelphia? An Eagles Fan's Perspective

Finally, people are realizing what Howie Roseman should’ve realized before the season started. With injuries to Zack McPherson and Avonte Maddox, the secondary is struggling. As a sports psychiatrist, I would talk to professional athletes who hated changing positions, especially if they were Pro Bowl players. If someone’s really good at something, who wants to change?

And it wouldn’t have been necessary if Howie Roseman had anticipated that there would be injuries and acquired confident backups. You really do want Bradberry and Slay as cornerbacks. I am glad the Inquirer reported that the Eagles are considering a trade, but it’s another indication of how overrated Roseman is.

Away from sports psychiatry and as a fan, the Inquirer is being too kind to defensive coordinator Sean DeSai. His defense is ‘tissue paper.’ It won’t stop anyone with competence, even Sam Howell. He is Jonathan Gannon all over again. Another bad decision by Nick Sirianni, who was also overrated in my opinion, and Roseman
