Eagles defensive line coach Clint Hurtt is tryiNg to let his young group of tackles know that one person such as Fletcher Cox doesn't have to lead, but it can be a collective effort.
PHILADELPHIA – When last seen in public, Fletcher Cox was hanging at the Italian Market in South Philly judging a hoagie contest. He had dropped 20 pounds, dipping below 300 pounds, and was running four miles a day.
“It's us. So, we can't sit there and think about if Fletch was here and blah, blah, blah…we have to go out and we have to make sure that we put our best foot forward and we continue that. Nobody's coming to save us. So what you gonna do? What we gonna do?" It’s a defensive tackle room that has two first-round picks in Davis and Jalen Carter, a third-round selection in Milton Williams, a sixth-round pick in Marlon Tuipulotu, and a seventh-round selection in Moro Ojomo. There are also a few others, such as undrafted free agent Gabe Hall, Thomas Booker, and P.J. Mustipher.“I said this to Jordan, I’ve said this to Jalen, to Milton, all those guys, they can do it collectively, do it together,” said Hurtt.
