ITI: Honestly, why couldn’t Trevor Siemian lead this team to greater heights? Was he a franchise quarterback or a band aid until something better came along?

Predominantly Orange: 

Well, it looks like, for the moment, that the Trevor Siemian experiment is over. Brock Osweiler will start on Sunday. I think after seeing him the last few games, I would say calling him a “franchise quarterback” is not in the cards, but if he can improve a bit while backing up Osweiler, that might change. As long as Siemian remains on the roster, he has a good chance to play and to make an impact.

ITI:  Give us a few names. Who are the guys that Eagles fans should know or worry about that may not get the national spotlight?

Predominantly Orange: 

I will give you three names. All of the are on defense. Domata Peko Sr., Shelby Harris, and Adam Gotsis have really helped this team earn the “Ground Control” nickname. They have been able to stuff running backs and can get to the quarterback if needed. They have come on their own with Derek Wolfe being out their helping them become a solid unit on the defensive line.
