Rookie linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, Jr., got some first team reps and did well with them, even 'accidentally' shoving his former college teammate out of bounds and is one of five overreactions from Day 7 of Eagles camp.
After holding their only open practice of summer at Lincoln Financial Field for two hours on Thursday, they went through a walkthrough on Friday before taking off on Saturday.Jeremiah Trotter, Jr., could be working himself into a role, earning plenty of reps with the first team next to Devin White, and the linebacker made them count. Especially on one play, where he flowed to the sideline to catch up to his former Clemson teammate Will Shipley, who had just corralled a pass.
Accident or not, Trotter seemed mighty comfortable running with the first team and deserves more reps with that group. It will be interesting to get defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s thoughts when he talks to reporters on Monday morning.Moro Ojomo is winning the battle over Marlon Tuipulotu to be the third defensive tackle in the rotation behind Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and Milton Williams, who has been able to consistently generate pressure up the middle.
“Football is violent,” he said. “I think you have to set the tone. And any great defensive lineman has to have to some level of violence in his game … These are grown men you’re going versus, and they’re trying to go through your face. So you gotta run through their face, too. It’s a mindset.”Quarterback Tanner McKee needs more time with the second team. He got some on Sunday, so maybe something is cooking.
