The Eagles are in the playoffs and rising a three game win streak. It was pretty easy to find positive articles this week. My favorites for the week are below.
- Roob’s Observations: How a clever compromise helped Nick Sirianni win over his players – The best leaders are great listeners. Great coaches connect with their players to get the best out of them. Sirianni has shown both traits this year. It is a good sign for the future.
- ‘Get freaky’ — Mariucci thinks Hurts is no doubt Eagles’ franchise QB – Hurts has played well. I am not as confident he is the long term answer as Mariucci is, but he is much more knowledgeable than I am, so I like what I see.
- Eagles fans should be thankful to have Jeffrey Lurie as an owner – This is my favorite article of the week. It is easy to poke at owners and complain about what they do. Lurie’s success is easily quantifiable. Roob’s best quote is “Only the Patriots, Packers, Steelers and Colts have had more winning seasons than the Eagles since 1995, and all were led by at least one Hall of Fame quarterback.”
- Greg Ward epitomizes the Eagles’ team-first mentality – Greg Ward is a team first player. Players like Ward fill in the gaps, do what the team needs, and keep things positive. He is one of many unsung heroes on this years squad.
