Eagles Wake-Up Call: Iron-Man Celek

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brent Celek.Brent Celek‘s eyes started darting around the room the moment the topic was broached. He looked to his left, to his right,  and finally behind him before finding what he needed. He stepped over to the piece of wood inside his locker, knocked twice, and then let out a “C’Mon, man!”

The question: Have you ever missed a game?

The answer following the initial unrest: No.

Well, not since the grade school anyway.

“The last time I missed a game was in the sixth grade. I dislocated my elbow,” said Celek. “I popped it back in myself. I scored a touchdown on the play…It was just reaction. I just hit it and it popped back in. And when I popped it back in it broke.”

Avant: So Tired Of the ‘Talented’ Talk

There are some veteran leaders on the Eagles that are about at their wits’ end. The identity that used to come with an Andy Reid-led  team has been compromised, and hubris may have something to do with it.

“I just get so tired of the ‘talented’ talk. I don’t want what the outside world views as talent to infect our team,” said Jason Avant. “Talent and potential is dangerous because you’ll get complacent. We have to go out and show it. Right now we’re a 3-3 team. That’s who we are. It’s not that we’re a talented 3-3 team. It’s that we’re 3-3 and they have players on their team, whatever team we’re facing, that are just as good as we are. If we take that mindset that anybody can beat you, you’ll focus and concentrate harder and you’ll play better.”
