Sometimes in sports, people have to take significant risks to see if it pays off for them. Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman took a swing at a new approach, and so far, it's been a ground out to the shortstop, but with two more batters coming up to bat in the inning, it could still be a home run with some adjustments.
During the offseason, the Eagles noticeably lost a ton of veteran talent on defense. They let go of cornerbacks Darius Slay and James Bradberry while trading away safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans. Philly also let Josh Sweat and Milton Williams sign elsewhere in free agency.
