Jason Peters spent 12 seasons playing left tackle for Philadelphia, and Eagles react to what it's like seeing him play for the rival Dallas Cowboys.
And so does Eagles center Jason Kelce, who told Audacy's SportsRadio 94WIP on Thursday:"When he calls Philly fans ' idiots, it's in a very complimentary fashion. He is a huge fan of the Philadelphia fan base, I know that for a fact."Kelce, for example, took 3½ minutes when he was asked later Thursday the best thing that he learned from Peters. That included a 10-second pause so Kelce could gather his thoughts.
Kelce used an example about preparing to face the Minnesota Vikings in 2016, who came into that game at 5-0. The Eagles' coaches were focused on stopping edge rusher Everson Griffen. That was Danielle Hunter, who was early in his second season. He would go on to have 12½ sacks that season. But against the Eagles, neither he nor Griffen had a sack, and the Eagles, behind rookie quarterback Carson Wentz, beat the Vikings 21-10.
"And that’s kind of how he approached being in this building. It’s how he approached relationships. He was very much just like a presence."
