In Roob’s Observations: A concerning trend with Eagles GM Howie Roseman originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
A concerning trend for Howie Roseman, an insane Rich Kotite stat and the real issue with Dallas Goedert.
Here’s our Week 3 edition of Roob’s 10 Random Eagles Observations!
1. Mekhi Becton looks like a steal as a right guard. And Saquon Barkley – despite the drop – looks like a stroke of brilliance. But Howie Roseman’s big-ticket moves on defense over the last few years are starting to look ominously bad. First-round picks for Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith – high 1st-round picks for Davis and Carter – don’t look so promising at the moment. Carter had that dominating stretch early last year and I still believe he’ll be a great player, but none of them have lived up to where they were picked so far and it’s fair to wonder when they will. Devin White, penciled in as a starting linebacker, wasn’t even active Monday night. Bryce Huff hasn’t gotten close to an opposing quarterback for $51 million. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson has the 2nd-most missed tackles of any NFL safety (behind former Eagle Marcus Epps) and is hurt again. Zack Baun had a couple sacks in the opener but has the 3rd-most missed tackles of any NFL linebacker. Vaunted 3rd-round pick Nakobe Dean has the 2nd-lowest Pro Football Focus grade among off-ball linebackers (ahead of only former teammate Kyzir White of the Cards). Quinyon Mitchell looks very promising, but overall when you look at why the Eagles have had one of the worst defenses in the NFL through two weeks, you have to look squarely at a bunch of Roseman’s moves. It’s still early, and the Eagles are on their third defensive coordinator in the span of eight games and that’s not ideal, and we knew it was going to take a while for all the new pieces to fit together in a new scheme. There’s still time for any or all of these guys to turn things around. But no sacks by an edge? One of the worst…
