A’Shawn Robinson, defensive tackle

The 2018 season seemed to be going along nicely for A’Shawn Robinson before he landed on the injured reserve on December 28th. That ended a campaign that consisted of 49 total tackles and a sack.

Robinson may not be the guy that you expect a ton of highlight-reel plays from. Much of his workday consists of double teams and freeing up his teammates to make plays, but if he’s given a chance, he can be a game wrecker. He has that ability.

Eagles fans should hope that they don’t hear his name called on Sunday. If it is, that means things aren’t going according to plan.

Trey Flowers, defensive end

Following four productive years and two Super Bowl victories with the New England Patriots, Trey Flowers had racked up 167 total tackles and 21 sacks.

When his time in Foxborough was up, he elected to follow his former defensive coordinator Matt Patricia to the Lions. Flowers’ name is one that Eagles fans don’t have to familiarize themselves with. He renews a few pleasantries with their offensive line on Sunday.
