Eagles Wake-Up Call: Who Will ‘Fall By The Wayside?’

Howie Roseman isn’t known for giving the juiciest of quotes, but he got some people’s wheels turning with his words on Wednesday following a panel discussion at Lincoln Financial Field. The question was whether the team is taking a wait-and-see approach to offering long-term extensions because of the new coaching staff. This was his response, courtesy of the team’s website:

“One of the things that’s hard for us and you’ve seen some of it this offseason, we’ve had players that were good players in a different scheme that we’ve invested in and it’s not going to turn over.

“For me, that’s different because we’ve been with one head coach, but when you talk with people around the league, they tell you, ‘When you change coaches, when you change schemes, there are going to be good players who fall by the wayside,’ and that’s hard for the general manager because you know it’s a good player. You know in a different scheme he’s going to be a good player, but at the same time you know it’s not a good fit for you.”

This isn’t exactly a revelation: significant scheme change is going to come with some casualties. But when you hear the general manager talking about quality holdovers who are destined to “fall by the wayside,” you can’t help but think of who might end up in that category.

Coaching Change Has Danny Watkins Energized

Danny Watkins turned himself  into a bit of a ghost last season.

He rarely appeared in the locker room when the media was in there. If he did, he walked briskly to his stall — phone fixed to his ear — got what he needed, and then disappeared out of sight. The brief glimpses were of a man who didn’t seem to be enjoying himself whatsoever.

He wore a different look when he stopped to talk with reporters last week.
