“It’s one of the reasons we build the roster the way we do with some of the people we do, like Jalen,” Lurie said. “You have to have that resilience and understanding, especially in the world today. If you can’t block out most of the noise, you’re not going to maximally perform. And Jalen is one of those where, the more noise there is, the better he performs.”
A Strange Start for the Eagles
Most teams would gladly take a 5-2 record to open up a season, especially with a pedigree as Super Bowl champions in their back pocket. However, the fact that the Eagles have far and away the most talented offensive unit in the NFL and still continue to put up puzzlingly quiet performances on that side of the ball has been frustrating for fans and drawn the mockery of supporters of their bitter rivals.
Still, 5-2 is 5-2, and the Eagles will have a great opportunity to push that to 6-2 with a revenge game against the New York Giants on Sunday. After that, tough games await against the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions.
