Daily News | Eagles GM Howie Roseman has avoided first-round linebackers like the plague. Will that change this year?
INDIANAPOLIS — Howie Roseman’s aversion to early-round linebackers is well-established, but will it endure?
“There were three off-the-ball linebackers,” he said of Schwartz scheme. “The definition of what our linebackers are doing has changed with Coach Gannon, and again, we have to find players that fit our coaches’ scheme. That’s the most important thing, that we’re finding players that fit what we’re trying to do offensively, defensively and on special teams.”
Edwards finished the season with 130 total tackles, one interception, one fumble recovery, and five tackles for losses. “Instead of having hypothetical situations, you have tape on that,” Roseman said. “You have film on that, and we can walk through, ‘All right, this is what we thought about this guy, this is how he fits.’ That’s huge in terms of evaluating our own team, which is the first thing we have to do. We have to evaluate our own team.
