Howie Roseman is optimistic about Eagles' outlook at safety position
Howie Roseman's outlook for the Eagles safety position moving forward seems positive.
The Philadelphia Eagles certainly have questions at safety. Reed Blankenship is gone . Add to that, Sydney Brown being traded away for draft picks .
J. T Gray was added, but his addition seems more about adding to the special teams unit than finding solid snaps for Vic Fangio's defense. The good news?
General manager Howie Roseman doesn’t appear overly concerned. Speaking recently at the NFL's annual league meeting, he struck a confident tone when discussing the position, signaling that Philadelphia believes it already has the foundation in place. More help is also on the horizon with the NFL Draft.
While speaking with media members at the NFL annual league meetings, he was very vocal about his satisfaction with the defensive secondary. Howie Roseman on safety: "It starts with using our second-round pick on (Drew) Makuba. See a lot of growth from the first to second year, and expect that from him.
