Is There Something Wrong With Trent Cole?
Oct 27, 2008 Eagles Rumors
Worth asking, right?
Through seven games this year: 3 sacks, 33 tackles.
Through seven games in 2007: 9 sacks, 38 tackles.
He has been getting chipped quite a bit this year, either by a back or a tight end. Can the extra help for the tackle be the main reason for the decline?
This week he even got to face a backup in the form of Todd Weiner. He still got handled. So what gives? Is there enough film on him that you can neutralize him with a properly executed game plan?
I am willing to bet Cole is going to start getting asked about this by the Eagles beat writers. I’ll be anxious to hear what he has to say. He has had a couple of big forced fumbles (last week against the Niners for instance). But still, his play has been overshadowed by the outstanding work of JP on the other side.
