5 Eagles With The Most To Prove In 2016
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Eagles are going to struggle in 2016 unless get improved play from multiple key players.
But which players are the most crucial to the team's success?
Michael Barkann and Ike Reese revealed their five Eagles with the most to prove in 2016 on Monday's 94WIP Mike & Ike Show.
94WIP Mike & Ike Show's 5 Eagles with the most to prove in 2016 :
5. Eric Rowe
Ike: "I wanted to make sure I got Rowe on this list Michael B, because quite frankly, the cornerbacks scare the bajesus out of me. We don't have anyone out there, at least right now, that I would see we match up the Redskins, the Cowboys, the Giants, they play the Packers."
4. Jason Peters
Mike: "We don't know if his career is done."
Ike: "He needs to prove that -- put it this way, if he has the type of season he had last year, I think they're moving on from him."
3. Nelson Agholor
Ike: "Nelson Agholor, outside of Sam Bradford on our list, really may have the most significant role in this as far as: we need him to step in big time. He really needs to show improvement."
2. Sam Bradford
Mike: "We can move on to the number three spot, we just didn't want you to think we forgot that Bradford is one of those guys."
1. Marcus Smith
Ike: "Marcus Smith has been one of those guys where it's hard to get a read on what he is as a player, what he can and can't do. Obviously you have to sort of trust the coaches -- they watch him every day in practice. And it's easy to make the argument, 'Well if he can play they'd have him out there on the field.'
"And I think there's something to that, but when there's so much internal strife over the selection of the pick and one guy, who may not have wanted the guy picked, doesn't seem all that inclined to give him every benefit of the doubt to get out there on the field -- in Chip [Kelly] -- what are you supposed to do?"
